EllenRichter very reasonable price if you shop well! #RNchat
@TimberLeaves Hi there & welcome! Good going on becoming an RN! :)
T1 Mayo Clinic asked me to be on their Advisory Board - http://bit.ly/bPxVSt -
rnchat How can nursing perspective best be represented? #RNchat
EllenRichter @ocdgirl2000 What are you taking in school? Lynn thats awesome! #RNchat
bthenextstep @ocdgirl2000 congrats on back to school! awesome. #rnchat
@rnchat Yes I saw that!! That is such an honor!! I'm jealous ;) Seriously
EllenRichter though, thats a good question! Where to begin? :) #RNchat
@EllenRichter really good, working on some projects with students and
Rapinedape colleagues! #RNchat
“@RNchat: 10 minutes to #RNchat (9pm EDT 9/25)! Pour a beverage &
shannynlee jump on in!”
T1 saw that - it is great - can help nurses value be recognized - tweeted today
nursingpins - nurses are mentioned on -10% hosp websites. #RNchat
bthenextstep congrats again phil btw. #rnchat
Hi #RNChat. Just threw the curry honey chicken in the oven, it'll be finished
holisticnurses by the end of this chat. Amy, Telehealth RN. #rnchat
#rnchat T1 nursing perspective can best B represented by wide spectrum of
ocdgirl2000 different types of RN's over wide variety backgrounds fields ages
#rnchat what about clarifying the role of nurses, from the perspective of
bthenextstep educating the public on what we really do (I know, i'm reaching)
T1 nurses are going to have an infl in choice of hc services - hosps need to
nursingpins salvage what is left of their relationship with nurses. #RNchat
Gerard in Nova Scotia - a consultant w/ focus on collaboration in health
Trybarefoot care.....bit of a migraine so only in for a few mins #RNchat
@holisticnurses Sounds awesome! Can ya tweet that through to us when it's
philbaumann ready? ;) #RNchat

bthenextstep @holisticnurses welcome amy! #rnchat
ITPtSafetyRN @ocdgirl2000 Agree #RNchat
rnchat @bthenextstep Ah, yes - very good point! #rnchat
T1 #rnchat I think lately I'm getting frustrated by the mis-information out
bthenextstep there. and i'm not talking about TV shows
T1 By clarifying that nurses cover a broad range of specialities. I don't think
holisticnurses administrators understand that & pts not aware of. #rnchat
@EllenRichter It should be interesting. I see it as a way to extend what
rnchat happens here on #rnchat
ocdgirl2000 @EllenRichter #rnchat MS in Human Services. hey I am already doing it!
@philbaumann I will try my best but technology is still so limiting. Ugh. :)
holisticnurses #rnchat
T1 #rnchat better yet, how about educating the 'suits' and the 'board' on what
bthenextstep bedside care and ratios are REALLY like. :)
holisticnurses @bthenextstep Hey there, sir. Glad to see you too, @ocdgirl2000! #rnchat
T1 I think nurses could be @ forefront of promoting #ptsafety. We need
EllenRichter manpower & cooperation w/ this task which is so important! #RNchat
Wld love 2 help RT @bthenextstep: #rnchat what bout clarifying role of
ability4life nurses, from the perspective of ed public on what we really do
EllenRichter @holisticnurses Welcome!! #RNchat
@bthenextstep True - hosps have alienated nurses to the point - you will be
nursingpins hard pressed to find a nurse with a good word for one. #RNchat
#rnchat T1 yes, administration is so far removed from the bedside , yet they
bthenextstep make most of the decision about staff ratios? hmm.
T1 If only the public realized how much nursing can do for the health
EllenRichter profession in general, we might get more help! :) #RNchat
holisticnurses @EllenRichter Hello, hello, hello, Ellen! Glad to make it this time. #rnchat
@bthenextstep T1 Are there really ratios? Ratios are supposed to be devised
EllenRichter based on acuity. We just have staffing #s, thats all #RNchat
ITPtSafetyRN KY Nurse-new to #RNchat
EllenRichter @ability4life Welcome! :) #RNchat

@EllenRichter I think you are right Ellen - patient advocacy groups will
nursingpins improve pt. safety and help save the nursing prof. #RNchat
RT @holisticnurses: T1 By clarifying nurses cver broad range of specialities. I
ability4life don't think admin understand that & pts not aware. #rnchat
null #rnchat also maybe this board could focus the intention of all nurses into
bthenextstep ONE movement, eliminate the micromanaged taskforces.
@ITPtSafetyRN Just use the topic tag (now its T1) and the hashtag #RNchat
EllenRichter with each tweet! Glad you came!
#rnchat T1 every Nurse has his or her own individual "perspective"
& no 2 can ever be the same.we are all experiencing a Unique ROLE in
ocdgirl2000 life
T1 #rnchat eliminate the 'noise' of the signal to noise ratio and influence one
bthenextstep strong voice for the whole profession.
@RNchat incredible, T1 as nurses we have a privileged vision to improve
Rapinedape health care of persons: through research, for example #RNchat
T1 Nurses have a better sense of gaps in healthcare. RN's can help patients
holisticnurses navigate the system more efficiently on this panel. #rnchat
The practice of nursing should not even be under hospital administration -
nursingpins hospitals have Bastardized the nursing profession. #RNchat
RT @EllenRichter: T1 If only the public realized how much nursing cn do 4
ability4life health profession in general, we might get more help! :) #RNchat
Hello #RNchat Peds nurse here. Hello all! T1- much of what concerns me is
CutePedsNurse that patient safety is being compromised by bad staffing.
@ITPtSafetyRN We also create a transcript of the chat each week so if you
EllenRichter like, you can read it later! #RNchat
bthenextstep @CutePedsNurse great point. #RNchat
@CutePedsNurse Welcome! T1 And yes #ptsafety is compromised also by
EllenRichter adding more tasks to our role each year! #RNchat
Follow up T1 For nurses to get more active in social media, what might be best
rnchat strategies? #RNchat

T1 #rnchat it all comes back to patient safety in the end. every bark by a
bthenextstep nurse originates with patient safety in mind.
Hola from Texas! In and out during the chat...it's (late) bedtime routine time
joniwatson for the kiddos currently. #rnchat
TY -would like 2 use my blog 2 ed pub about nursing range and xpertise RT
ability4life @EllenRichter: @ability4life Welcome! :) #RNchat
@EllenRichter yes there are ratios as set standards in smaller hospitals. it's
bthenextstep how the 'budget' is forecasted. #RNchat
@ocdgirl2000 Great to hear about school. Human Services--Interesting name
EllenRichter for a major! #RNchat
RT @bthenextstep: T1 it all comes back to patient safety in the end. every
holisticnurses bark by a nurse originates with patient safety in mind. #rnchat
rnchat @Rapinedape Totally agree. #rnchat
@EllenRichter of course the current day can be adjusted due to acuity, but the
bthenextstep shift ratios are erratic. #RNchat
T! - organized groups with a clear loud voice - I think will be most important
nursingpins with nurse social media. #RNchat
@joniwatson Hi there! Glad u stuck your head in while doing all that mother
EllenRichter stuff! :) #RNchat
T1 And don't forget the staffing issue is relevant across the board: nursing
holisticnurses homes, home care, hospices, primary care offices, etc. #rnchat
@EllenRichter I agree with you, this reduces costs and improves patient
Rapinedape outcomes (I prefer to say persons) #RNchat #ptsafety
T1-Agree 2often if pt. safety is compromised nurses are blamed, shamed.
ITPtSafetyRN #RNchat
@Rapinedape great point about research. EBP, cornerstone of advancing our
bthenextstep care delivery. #RNchat
CutePedsNurse T1 #rnchat Nurses need to get involved with our community! Period.
T1 staffing issues are tearing the nursing profession apart - hospitals will only
nursingpins respond to mandate and organized pressure. #RNchat

T1 Hey, Phil, maybe your group can be the positive force behind making social
EllenRichter media acceptable communication in hospitals #RNchat
So not fair RT @ITPtSafetyRN: T1-Agree 2often if pt. safety is compromised
ability4life nurses are blamed, shamed. #RNchat
bthenextstep @nursingpins we're thinking on the same page. :) #RNchat
@EllenRichter #rnchat DHHS "Department of Health & Human
Services" yep, that's the generic department you get to work in as a
ocdgirl2000 "Gov" RN!LOL!
ITPtSafetyRN @nursingpins T1-spot on #RNchat
RT @ability4life: So not fair RT @ITPtSafetyRN: T1-Agree 2often if pt. safety is
holisticnurses compromised nurses are blamed, shamed. #rnchat
@Rapinedape LOL yes, I hear you about calling patients persons. Its ingrained
EllenRichter in my brain for too many years! :) #RNchat
RT @nursingpins: T1 - organized groups with a clear loud voice - I think will
rnchat be most important with nurse social media. #rnchat
Uh oh....watch out! LOL >> RT @bthenextstep: @nursingpins we're
EllenRichter thinking on the same page. :) #RNchat
T1 - staffing ratios are having an affect on the integrity of nurses - corners are
nursingpins being cut too close. #RNchat
ITPtSafetyRN @holisticnurses No fair at all, but it still happens. #RNchat
Trybarefoot Nite all at #RNchat - off to medicate to 'nurse' this headache.... :)
Yes!! RN is always 1st in line to blame! RT @ITPtSafetyRN: T1-Agree 2often if
EllenRichter pt. safety is compromised nurses are blamed, shamed. #RNchat
@nursingpins I think it's the argument of wht looks gd on an administrators
bthenextstep piece of paper, & then wht's rlly happening at bedside #RNchat
@ITPtSafetyRN Well, you chose the right tweetname to stand behind the
holisticnurses issue. :) #rnchat
@Hereticagain Let me phrase it this way: help more nurses understand and
rnchat adopt these media appropriately. Make sense? #RNchat
T1-There's strength in numbers and we have the numbers to make a
ITPtSafetyRN difference #RNchat

@ITPtSafetyRN I couldn't agree more! our numbers are growing every day.
bthenextstep #RNchat
ITPtSafetyRN @holisticnurses work as an IT safety analyst #RNchat
rnchat @Hereticagain Still havin' trouble figurin' out how to use #RNchat, huh? ;)
#rnchat T1 Even with just the 2 of us, when I am gone, the other RN will be
ocdgirl2000 alone dosing pt's and is burning out.Not safe!No others trained!
T1-the administrators have no idea what's happening at the bedside..for them
CutePedsNurse it's about the bottom dollar..for us it's about safety. #Rnchat
@bthenextstep Right - no correlation between paper #'s and what happens -
nursingpins the hosp's acuity will always match their staffing #'s #RNchat
T1 I'm waiting for the computer program that calculates true patient care
EllenRichter hours needed for each patient based on MD orders & acuity #RNchat
rnchat OK, T2 coming up in a moment (two topics tonight). #RNchat
bthenextstep @nursingpins exactly #rnchat
T1 It seems like so many of nursing's issues revolve around our anxieties
EllenRichter working in unsafe environmts. How can this finally change? #RNchat
@EllenRichter much needed, If nurses time was costed out-heads would roll
ITPtSafetyRN #RNchat
@EllenRichter A program like that is entirely possible but it would shot a hole
nursingpins in the hospital's BS #'s #RNchat
@EllenRichter I would too, unfortunately life and everything that stresses it's
bthenextstep balance cannot be translated into an equation. :) #RNchat
LOL I say that for years. If we billed...forget it! RT @ITPtSafetyRN: much
EllenRichter needed, If nurses time was costed out-heads would roll #RNchat
@EllenRichter Adequate staffing and spending more time at the bedside with
CutePedsNurse our patients. And truly be there with them. #Rnchat
T2 Flu Vaccine: That season is upon us again. Mandated vaccinations: Yay or
rnchat Nay? Is there a Maybe? #RNchat
bthenextstep @EllenRichter i think b/c in the end healthcare is NOW a business. #RNchat
#rnchat T1 upper management seems to think I will live forever &
ocdgirl2000 ALWAYS be available. No backup plans needed! NOT!no $ 2 train new RN's

ITPtSafetyRN T2- Yay #RNchat
T2 oooh toughie. difference between personal opinion and professional duty
bthenextstep with this one. #RNchat
@EllenRichter You are right Ellen - our service is includes in room and board -
nursingpins no other HC service is! #RNchat
T2 #rnchat is it really our professional duty/ respons. to be vaccinated with a
bthenextstep vaccine that is moderate at its best?
@nursingpins Isnt that so sad! Yes, our services R built in 2 the calculation of
EllenRichter the room fee. Unreal. We might as well dust, too. #RNchat
T1 #rnchat flu vaccine is the one vaccine whose efficacy is always
bthenextstep questionable.
nursingpins T1 Nurses are seen as a cost by hospitals- #RNchat
T2 So much controversy among my peers at work. So many opting to refuse
EllenRichter & wear masks! Why? #RNchat
@nursingpins @EllenRichter we can only petition or lobby for the right to
bthenextstep 'charge' for our services. amazing how that works huh? #RNchat
T2- I cannot tell you how many diseases that I have seen due to non
CutePedsNurse vaccinating. Huge advocate for vaccination!! #rnchat
RT @CutePedsNurse: T2- this is my area of interest. Definitely vaccinate..I
CutePedsNurse cannot say it enough!!#rnchat
@EllenRichter You are right - if hospitals had their choice - we would be
nursingpins dusting. #RNchat
T1 #RNchat here's the kicker. we can't charge for our services, but how costly
bthenextstep are the losses without us?
RT @EllenRichter: T1 It seems like so many of nursing's issues revolve around
our anxieties working in unsafe environmts. How can this finally change?
joeymedical #RNchat
Heres a NY Times article >> In Requiring Flu Vaccinations for Health
EllenRichter Care Workers, NY Hits Resistance http://j.mp/9tTKC5 #RNchat
RT @CutePedsNurse: T2- I cant tell u how many diseases I have seen due to
ability4life non vaccinating. Huge advcate 4 vaccination!! #rnchat #parents

@bthenextstep You are right - but we need a unified cohesive voice and
nursingpins leadership - somthing the nursing profession does not have. #RNchat
@bthenextstep T2-what about exposing sick patients to flu? some nurses
ITPtSafetyRN often work sick #RNchat
#rnchat nay T2 preservatives, not enough research, & the virus itself
ocdgirl2000 may cause mutations in our own immunity. I won't take it.& I have CAD.
T2 #RNchat I personally get the vaccine every year, but 2 mandate it
bthenextstep professionally..is a big leap. we're not talking a 'suggestion' hre.
Exactly!RT @bthenextstep: T1 #RNchat here's the kicker. we can't charge for
CutePedsNurse our services, but how costly are the losses without us?
ITPtSafetyRN @bthenextstep T2-Understood #RNchat
T2 #RNchat how can we mandate a vaccine that only decreases your
bthenextstep likelihood , as opposed to most vacc. which prevent?
@EllenRichter me too, I can imagine the way in wich we call to those who
Rapinedape receive care #RNchat
Heres the CDC version: Seasonal Influenza (Flu) - Q & A: How Well Does
EllenRichter the Seasonal Flu Vaccine Work?" http://j.mp/cqxy19 #RNchat
T2- I think I see it differently just because of peds. I see so many preventable
CutePedsNurse diseases. Def mandate. #RNchat
#rnchat T2 I just had one of the WORST viruses EVER!was I tested for
ocdgirl2000 anything? NO.did I have any of those vaccines?No.did I have those bugs?
holisticnurses T2 It's a slippery slope. No for mandating vaccines. #rnchat
T2 I take the flu shot too, each year. Too many of my pts come in with flu.
EllenRichter And I get my son vaccinated as well. He lives with me. #RNchat
CutePedsNurse @bthenextstep True bit decreasing is better than no protection at all. #RNchat
I agree. Even health care wkrs should have choices RT @holisticnurses: T2 It's
EllenRichter a slippery slope. No for mandating vaccines. #rnchat #RNchat
T2 Hospitals are requiring those health care wkrs who choose not to get
EllenRichter vaccine must wear regular masks while giving care. #RNchat
T2 #RNchat I think it has everything 2 do w/ the effectiveness & the
bthenextstep virulence of the prev year strain. the vacc is unique in that sense

ITPtSafetyRN @EllenRichter I agree2.No for mandating vaccines.#RNchat
Beehecha RT @nursingpins: T1 Nurses are seen as a cost by hospitals- #RNchat
#RNchat T2 bcause its not a pos. Prevent. I think it should B matter of choice.
TimberLeaves I pers. Always get it.
T2 @EllenRichter slippery slope indeed - Should take it yes - but mandate?
nursingpins Once started will be a pandoras box. #RNchat
T2 If you have symptoms, don't work and support your immunity through
holisticnurses nutrition, vitamins, exercise, stress management. #rnchat
bthenextstep @CutePedsNurse and I respect that. the beauty of this #rnchat ! :)
#rnchat T2 sorry,but I'm against them.I believe them 2 B a political &
ocdgirl2000 pharmaceutical hoax.Yes,there is a virus,risk of dhydration/infection
@CutePedsNurse T2 Of course I respect your position from a Peds standpoint.
@bthenextstep Also my personal beliefs shouldn't be a part of it but truly as
CutePedsNurse nurses we take our values with us. #RNchat
nursingpins @ocdgirl2000 There is a lot of evidence that supports that. #RNchat
T1 Part of challenge of ethics is information. Knowing 100% or 0% effective
rnchat makes it a bit easier 2decide 1wayor other versus 57% ;) #rnchat
bthenextstep T2 #rnchat this vacc uniqueness is also it's weakness.
T2 #RNchat I personally will take the odds, but I also am healthy, with a
bthenextstep strong immune system (I believe). so is the vacc really working?
Very true!!RT @bthenextstep: T2 #rnchat this vacc uniqueness is also it's
CutePedsNurse weakness.
@nursingpins #RNCHAT T2 Many other superviruses as well, when monkeying
ocdgirl2000 around with them immune system we are playing with FIRE.
T2 the CDC recommends all health care wkrs in hospitals, outpt facilities, nsg
EllenRichter homes, including MDs, RNs, RT, PT, EMTs get flu shot #RNchat
#rnchat t2 I have 3 kids, and a working lpn in school to be an rn...what is this
TimberLeaves stress management u speak of? :)
@CutePedsNurse couldn't agree w you more. my personal beliefs are part of
bthenextstep my care too. #RNchat

@RNchat Lurking & wondering WTH the prob is w/getting a flu shot
MeredithGould & putting on a mask. Good Lord! It's a hospital. Germs! #rnchat
@MeredithGould it shouldn't be a problem at all. I think you hit the nail on the
bthenextstep head. #rnchat
RT @bthenextstep: @MeredithGould it shouldnt be a problem at all. I think
nursingpins you hit the nail on the head. #RNchat
@MeredithGould Hi there! And, OMG it is very hard to wear a mask all day! No
EllenRichter 1 can see if you smile, except for the crows feet! :) #RNchat
bthenextstep @EllenRichter T2 key term being 'reccommend' . :) #RNchat
@EllenRichter #rnchat T2 the CDC is untrustworthy.they R manipulated by our
ocdgirl2000 politicians & pharmaceutical industry,just like hiding obesity.
@bthenextstep exactly! As long as were not imposing our views on our
CutePedsNurse patients we are comfortable with who and what we are and values.#RNchat
ITPtSafetyRN @EllenRichter T2-Like this response #RNchat
@bthenextstep T2 True. Theres nothing more irritating than being mandated
EllenRichter to do something rather than choosing to electively #RNchat
@EllenRichter Ok, I get the mask thing & ALL day is excessive but the flu
MeredithGould shot? I had to beg for one as a healthworker. #RNchat
Agree! But still require in peds RT @bthenextstep: @EllenRichter T2 key term
CutePedsNurse being 'reccommend' . :) #RNchat
@MeredithGould Well you dont have to beg anymore. Its available to all health
EllenRichter care workers. Come get one! #RNchat
RT @rnchat: T1 Part of challenge of ethics is info. Knowing 100% or 0%
holisticnurses effective makes it a bit easier 2decide 1wayor other vs 57% #rnchat
rnchat @MeredithGould It's the mandation issue that gets raised. #RNchat
@CutePedsNurse T2 Just out of curiosity, what if you refused to take the
EllenRichter vaccine this season? What would work do? #RNchat
@EllenRichter T2 Agreed. I'm not against flu shots, I'm against them being
holisticnurses mandated. #rnchat

We're coming up on the hour, but let's go on for another bit, OK? #RNchat If
rnchat you need to leave, that's cool too. :)
@rnchat Oh, the group manifestation of ODD (oppositional defiance disorder)
MeredithGould Don't Tell Us What to Do! Exert power somehow. #RNchat
RT @holisticnurses: @EllenRichter T2 Agreed. I'm not against flu shots, I'm
bthenextstep against them being mandated. #rnchat
@bthenextstep some vaccines prevent only after a course over months.
BiteTheDust Others work for limited time. why concerned only by influenza? #RNchat
#rnchat T2 I'd be more worried about getting MRSA,flesh eating bacterias
ocdgirl2000 & E coli in a hospital,than I would the FLU.masks?how about schools
T2 And then that brings up the MRSA issue. We're exposed, not vaccinated.
Flu shots are big business now - with millions of $ on the line from Drug
nursingpins Stores to disposable gloves - life of its own. #RNchat
@BiteTheDust it's a discussion on #RNchat right now about mandating flu
bthenextstep vacc for HC workers as opposed to recommending.
T2 @CutePedsNurse I work with adults & my facility has the same policy.
EllenRichter No vaccine? Then U must mask to care for patients! #RNchat
bthenextstep @holisticnurses lol. wait. is there a MRSA vaccine?? did i miss that? #rnchat
Flu shot activity is now in the hands of big business - regardless of risk or
nursingpins benefits. #RNchat
ITPtSafetyRN @nursingpins Yup-revenue come in to play with all great initiatives #RNchat
holisticnurses T2 @EllenRichter Is the mask year round? #rnchat
Thats what is so scary >> RT @nursingpins: Flu shots are big business
EllenRichter now - with millions of $ on the line- life of its own. #RNchat
EllenRichter @holisticnurses T2 No, just during flu season #RNchat
holisticnurses @bthenextstep No, that's my point! :) #rnchat
Very much so!!RT @nursingpins: Flu shot activity is now in the hands of big
CutePedsNurse business - regardless of risk or benefits. #RNchat
From an onc nurse's perspective, flu shots for nurses is good for the nurse and
joniwatson may save a patient's immunocompromised life. #rnchat

@MeredithGould That's not it, really - it's a deeper issue than that for *some*.
rnchat #RNchat
T2 Geez thats what the scientists should be creating!! A MRSA vaccine!!
RT @joniwatson: From an onc nurse's perspective, flu shots for nurses is good
ability4life for the nurse and may save a patient's immunocompromised life. #rnchat
#rnchat T2 flu vaccine was developed in 2007 with intent to be sold
ocdgirl2000 WORLDWIDE to all countries & governments to make $ by distributors!
@joniwatson great point. once again is it our professional respons to be vacc
bthenextstep and mandated to get them?? Hmm. #rnchat
RT @joniwatson: From an onc nurses perspective, flu shots 4 nurses is good
holisticnurses for nurse & may save a patients immunocompromised life #rnchat
@RNchat Ok, you know better than I but not unusual to see this type of
MeredithGould resistance show up where there's a caste system. #RNchat
@EllenRichter now that's where the money is! a MRSA vaccine! Who's with
bthenextstep me?! #RNchat
ITPtSafetyRN @bthenextstep t2-I'm with you #RNchat
@joniwatson YES - One of the true risks to the flu - immunocompromised
nursingpins patients #RNchat
@ocdgirl2000 wait didn't we have a shortage of those darn vacc just a cpl
bthenextstep years ago? #rnchat
Im in!!RT @bthenextstep: @EllenRichter now that's where the money is! a
CutePedsNurse MRSA vaccine! Who's with me?! #RNchat
@joniwatson T2 Yes, oncology, gerontology, immunocompromised, pregnant,
EllenRichter neonatal, all need our protection against flu virus #RNchat
Side venture? RT @bthenextstep: @EllenRichter now thats where the money
holisticnurses is! a MRSA vaccine! Whos with me?! #rnchat
CutePedsNurse Good night folks! Great chat! #RNchat
@MeredithGould i agree w/ phil. definitely taking the convo out of context
bthenextstep here. #RNchat
ITPtSafetyRN @CutePedsNurse Goodnight! t2 #RNchat

@MeredithGould If someone raises an objection with a rational voice, it
rnchat doesn't make ODD, not even prima facie, right? #RNchat
T2 Oh yeah, folks I like that idea. Maybe if we tweet it enough some scientists
EllenRichter will read it & start working on it! #RNchat
#rnchat T2 what happened to the handwashing topic? Immunocompromised
ocdgirl2000 pt's will still be exposed to RN's who have colds,OTHER FLUS,& bacteria
rnchat @CutePedsNurse OK, good night! Thanks for joining! Cheers! #rnchat
EllenRichter Googling "prima facie" #RNchat
bthenextstep #rnchat @RNchat always such great convo's Phil. You. Are. The. Man.
TimberLeaves #rnchat I'd be one of the first in line for a MRSA shot!
Hey, the curry honey chicken is ready. Awesome chat as always. Goodnight,
holisticnurses all! #rnchat
@ocdgirl2000 Excellent point! Hard to argue against mandated hand-washing.
rnchat I'm sure someone could, but I certainly can't ;) #rnchat
MeredithGould @rnchat Correct and the key to that is "rational." #RNchat
rnchat OK, friends - we'll wrap it up! Any parting thoughts? #RNchat
MeredithGould @bthenextstep The perils of lurking, mea culpa! #RNchat
ITPtSafetyRN @holisticnurses -sounds yummy...enjoy g-nite. T2 #RNchat
bthenextstep @MeredithGould @rnchat OK. So how was this convo irrational? #RNchat
Nurses rock! Night, Y'all! // RT @RNchat: OK, friends - we'll wrap it up! Any
joniwatson parting thoughts? #RNchat
MeredithGould @bthenextstep It wasn't irrational...not at all! #RNchat
holisticnurses @ITPtSafetyRN Take care Safety Analyst! #rnchat
ITPtSafetyRN @RNchat Great chat-this was my first time- T2 #RNchat
@bthenextstep #rnchat T2 shortage started to get people "in line &
BEGGING" for 4 the vaccine!They could be assured of it's "

Great chat folks! Thanks for the great conversations! Have a good Sunday!
bthenextstep @MeredithGould ahh. just caught that tweet. #RNchat
