new social group for nurses and all disciples of medicine

[I.C.O.E.B.G.]

On every single hospital admission we are required to ask patients if and when they had the flu and pnuemonia vaccine, and flag their chart if they are eligible for it. Our units get audited for compliance in giving the vaccines before discharge. No physician order or permission required. It's really stupid to be admitting someone to ICU with say a massive stroke, and we can't get past the computer screen on vaccine compliance. So we usually just lie and say the patient has already had it. Would you want someone asking you something like that when you or your loved one is in crisis. Morons.

I agree completely.....Its like the same idiots that design parking lots are the same ones that come up with these rules......one size fits all template.
