CDC Dr Chris Braden said during a press briefing on Thursday: 'We had started to look at the possibility that she had symptoms going back as far as Saturday. 'This has to do with the bridal shop. Some more information that has come through recently says we can't rule out that she might have had the start of her symptoms on Friday.' Seven people in Cleveland and Akron have put themselves in voluntary quarantine after coming into contact with Miss Vinson, including five friends whom she shopped with for bridesmaid dresses at bridal store, Coming Attractions, in Cleveland.

Should not nurses know better than to do this? I wonder how they know she had symtoms prior than what she told them? She took care of Duncan and saw first-hand what the disease does to people. WHY would she risk this to her friends/family and other innocent people? We laypersons here have more common sense than a critical care nurse?!

Is this one of the nurses that were kissed by Obama? If so, it might solve many problems.

Apparently she was aware of possible danger. She had a low fever and called her “handler”, CDC?. But since her temperature was not quite above the check list number, the idiot she called did not exercise caution in her case.

The CDC was stupid and bureaucratic for telling her to fly. They should have banned all the people in contact from flying in the first place. But the nurse shouldn't get a pass either. She should have known better.

If I had upcoming work involving Ebola, I would get my mother, who lives with me, to move out of my house. I might survive Ebola, but she wouldn’t.

Conflicting statements in this matter as about an hour or two ago on CNN I saw a black gentleman being interviewed, I didn’t catch who he was because I wasn’t actively watching but I did hear him say she did not personally call the CDC.

I have said this for years:

Stop putting doctors and especially nurses on pedestals.

I have met and went to school with many dumb, clueless, and or mean hateful nurses.
And I an including ALL nurses in this. RN’s included.

They are not all the smart, kind caregivers we hope they are.

This moronic, selfish nurse is a case in point.

What kind of supposedly educated person travels to their loved ones while possibly sick with a deadly disease?

If I was possibly infected, I would keep myself as far away from loved ones as possible. Plus try to minimize contact with strangers. This woman is a piece of garbage.

Let me clarify my above comment.

I meant I am including all CATEGORIES of nurses. Not all nurses.

There are many good nurses. Just not all.

There is such a la-de-da attitude about all of this. Letting people exposed to Ebola just walk around their family and communities until symptoms develop seems absolutely looney.

And still, the imposition of quarantine is strongly resisted. People arriving by airplane from Ebola epicenters just mull around in the passenger lounges until its time to be checked out by immigration.

Just goes to show what sloppy protocols are in place.

Yes, this is true! I’ve been treated by nurses who you could tell cared not one iota about my health or any other random patient. It was just their “job.” They weren’t very pleasant or caring individuals, including two I knew casually in a non-clinical setting. My daughter is currently studying to be a nurse. She’s finding it challenging but so far is getting A’s. I’m very proud of her right now:) Especially since none of us come from a college background. Hearing about all this Ebola does have her second-guessing her choice though....

Thank you! I never spent a day in a hospital and was neutral toward medical “professionals” until the births of my children. Almost every nurse each time was an arrogant, know-it-all b****, some of whom tried to make me do some of their work, which included changing diapers. I’ll do that at home but at $800/day (from the bill), I don’t care who is paying, THEY are going to do their damned jobs while my kids are still in the hospital.

Good luck to your daughter!

I was studying to be a nurse quite a few years ago. I had 1 year left before achieving a BSN when I changed majors. I realized my heart wasn’t in it.

I had a bad experience with nurses while having my son as well.

1 great nurse during the delivery, but rotten, mean jerk nurses post delivery.

I went to school with RN nursing students. About half were not people you would want taking care of you or your loved ones......ever.

Thank you:)

May I ask what direction you went in after deciding against nursing? You’re brave, and good for you! I would have probably finished it out even knowing my heart wasn’t truly in it just because I’d put all the time in already. This is one reason I never went for a degree. I regret it now, but I just could never make up my mind about which career I truly wanted. I was tugged every which way, not focused enough.

You sound like me. I was unfocused and not making decisions that were my own.

I changed over to getting a master’s in speech language pathology.
Had 2 years left in program when my husband got surprise orders to California. (Coast Guard)
I never finished. I have 4 years of college, made dean’s list, president’s list many semesters, but still a drop out.

Believe me, I completely understand no focus.

Obviously.

But, nevertheless, all credit for her decisions and whatever consequences thereof should redound to the Obola Regime!
