An intravenous catheter is a hollow and flexible plastic tube that is inserted into a vein to administer fluids and medicines. Most intravenous catheters are peripheral, meaning they go into a vein far from the heart, such as in the wrist. However, catheters can also be inserted into larger veins closer to the heart.
Welcome to our website! Nurses Against Mandatory Vaccines. Nurses Against Mandatory Vaccines was organized and started in 2012. Our primary purpose is to raise awareness for forced medical procedures of adults in the work place that are only in place in order for healthcare organizations to receive financial funding from Medicare/Medicaid.
The only exception is for nurses (RNs and LVNs) - under a new Texas law that went into effect on September 1, 2009, mandatory overtime for RNs and LVNs is permissible only in disaster and other emergency situations-see Texas Health and Safety Code Section 258.003.
