View this post on Instagram Today we got our flu vaccines. 〰️This isn’t just for us to stay healthy but to keep heard immunity we so desperately need. 〰️I get it for my grandma who can’t fight infection like a young spring chicken anymore. 〰️I get it for my best friends baby who can’t receive hers yet. 〰️I get the flu vaccine for my oncology patients who have zero immunity due to chemotherapy. ❤️There are so many reasons to get your flu vaccine- protect not only your self and your love ones, and the people who can’t protect themselves. Be companionate and understanding to those around you who are immunocompromised or can’t receive the flu vaccine! #fluwho?#wereready A post shared by Jessica Doherty (@onc_nurse_jess) on Oct 18, 2019 at 6:36am PDT Austin Average Base Pay: $60,208/yr Highest hourly wage: $64-69 for Nursing Practitioners Lowest hourly wage: $18-21 for a beginner Licensed Practical Nurse and Charge Nurses.
