Every fall, nurses are handed flu vaccine talking points: safe, effective, life-saving. But how often are we taught to look at the data behind those words?In this 1.0 contact hour course, Jodi O'Malley, MSN, RN, sits down with Dr. Christina Parks, PhD, a cellular and molecular biologist with a research background in immune signaling, for a frank conversation you won't find in most continuing education. Together they unpack what "effective" really means, why relative and absolute risk tell different stories, how healthy user bias shapes study results, what research shows about repeated annual vaccination, and what true informed consent looks like at the bedside.If you've ever had questions you felt you couldn't ask out loud, you are not alone. Many nurses share them. Asking hard questions and holding a view outside the mainstream is not unprofessional. Our Code of Ethics calls us to keep learning, to evaluate the evidence for ourselves, and to put the patient first, not the protocol.You'll leave better prepared to answer patients' questions honestly, read research critically, and stand on your ethics when policy and conscience collide.🎁 Free 1.0 CNE for nurses.
