   COVID-19 and Hurricane Season-20 - The PERFECT storm

   NunNurseCat replied to NunNurseCat's topic in COVID

   Well, I understand what you're saying like "we" as southerners, and this idea of doing things in an independent way, and...just I get it. ..but (of course a but) that goes out the window when it comes to us as healthcare workers and using precaution...

   Thanks herring I can always count on you! Stay safe everyone, and do your hurricane season preparation checklists that I know you all have and likely review daily. ?

   My work is pressuring me to come in when I'm sick, please advise me

   NunNurseCat replied to DogLady's topic in COVID

   I followed up my comment with another for the OP to consider that I live in Florida. That is how things are here. I'm glad those Canadian workers with protections can do what is right. I do wish [lifelearning] that you read my follow up post rather t...

   COVID-19 and Hurricane Season-20 - The PERFECT storm

   NunNurseCat posted a topic in COVID

   Anyone who's ever had to deal with one is likely aware hurricane season is just a few weeks away. Here in Florida I do disaster health nursing with Red Cross (I'm sure there has to be another ARC nurse or few around here too, anyone?). I've travelle...

   How do you do lab work on patients while maintaining social distancing?

   NunNurseCat replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in COVID

   By definition we don't 'socially distance' while we practice face-to-face. We use infection prevention and control, aseptic techniques, etc. Everyone else calls it social distancing...

   My work is pressuring me to come in when I'm sick, please advise me

   NunNurseCat replied to DogLady's topic in COVID

   Edit: You know what, I'm in Florida so consider that in my words. Workers' rights here are if you don't like it, well then have the right to work someplace else.

   All Masks Not Created Equal

   NunNurseCat replied to PrevHealthNurse's topic in COVID

   When looking for a mask one of the most important things to consider is fitment. If the mask doesn't seal well it's arguably worse than nothing. Check for gaps by blowing air up, do you feel it on your eyebrows or eyelashes? How about to the side do ...

   My work is pressuring me to come in when I'm sick, please advise me

   NunNurseCat replied to DogLady's topic in COVID

   Okay, welcome to nursing and one of many Catch-22's of the job. So you haven't been at that workplace for long huh? Your words seem idealistic and innocent. We've all been there. If you are sick and don't have sick-time, or if your organization expl...

    School Shootings

    NunNurseCat replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I can agree with that. What you said is kinda broad, but I know what you meant from your past posts. Some folks would say if we harden schools, then shooters will move to softer targets (ex. a school bus). Yet others would say if we restrict access ...

    Dangers of teaching kids they can be boys or girls

    NunNurseCat replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Should any of us live our lives to please others? Should others live to please the OP? Heck no. Let the OP be uptight and miserable; perhaps one day they will get tired of it and find another way. BTW one film I loved was GI Jane, when the CMDCM say...

    Dangers of teaching kids they can be boys or girls

    NunNurseCat replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    So assuming what you say is true, then one professor said something stupid. Who cares?!

    Fired for Falsifying Documents. What to expect

    NunNurseCat replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    You made a med error, not a chart falsification. Your intent is important. You did this by mistake, so it's an error. If you had gone back and altered the chart to cover up your mistake THAT would be falsification.

    What to do-BSN or job first?

    NunNurseCat replied to meginnurse's topic in Job Hunt

    I suggest you skip the ADN program all together and go the Accelerated BSN route. It will save you time and money in the long run. Although if you're already in an ADN program that might be a hassle. Have you looked into CareerSource? Not too long ag...
