First Instructor: Lie About Reason for Vaccinations - Give Misinformation - Deflect Fears and Concerns

Respect for human dignity requires the recognition of specific patient rights, in particular, the right to self-determination. Patients have the moral and legal right to determine what will be done with and to their own person; to be given accurate, complete, and understandable information in a manner that facilitates an informed decision; and to be assisted with weighing the benefits, burdens, and available options in their treatment, including the choice of no treatment. They also have the right to accept, refuse, or terminate treatment without deceit, undue influence, duress, coercion, or prejudice, and to be given necessary support throughout the decision- making and treatment process. Such support includes the opportunity to make decisions with family and significant others and to obtain advice from expert, knowledgeable nurses and other health professionals." - Excerpt - 1.4The Right to Self-Determination

Instructor Two: Give Sick Children Vaccines and Threaten Medicaid Recipients

Nichole Rolfe (formerly Bruff) was expelled from the nursing program at Baker College in 2013 for "harassment of staff." Rolfe readily admits that she had(not theoretical patients- current hospital patients) to comply with vaccination demands. Within two weeks of these incidences, Rolfe was expelled from the programOn April 5, 2015, Rolfe and her lawyer filed charges against the college.The first instructor named in the complaint, Connie Smith, Assistant Director of Nursing, instructed the students to tell expectant mothers and their partners that they were not allowed access to the labor and delivery floor until they received a Tdap vaccine. The reason given for this demand was the safety and protection the vaccine would give to the newborns. The instructor wasRolfe questioned the deception- the reality that vaccinations would not provide protection for 4-6 weeks, therefore they would not in any way protect the hospital newborns from disease. SheThe instructor ended the discussion, stating they would pick it up at a later time.Code of Ethics for Nurses, American Nurses AssociationTwo days after this incident, the second instructor named in the complaint, Alysia Osoff, gave instructions for the students to use any means necessary to bring pediatric patients up-to-date on their vaccines before their discharge from the hospital. Sheby telling them that non-compliance could result in Medicaid refusing to pay their hospital bill, making them liable for the charges.Again, Rolfe questioned the instruction. First sheThen Rolfe questioned the ethics and legality of lying to parents and threatening them to gain vaccination compliance.Rolfe maintains that she remained calm and professional throughout this exchange while Osoff "... became completely unhinged..."The. More importantly, the instructions violated the law, ethics, and morality. This lack of integrity mirrors the doctrine of the pro-vaccine camp with its endemic lies, manipulations, and threats.In addition to Rolfe's honesty and integrity,Her expulsion not only ended her training at Baker College, it left her blackballed for other schools. We can only hope Nichole Rolfe is successful in her lawsuit and her goal to become a nurse practitioner/midwife and that she finds excellent employment with like-minded professionals.
