1. Why not paralyze??

   maji2002 replied to Ketofol's topic in CRNA

   Paralyzing weakens the muscles used to breathe, so it is harder to wean people making them subject to many more potential complications.

2. Hospital Profits Over Patient Safety: The reasons you should not be a nurse

   maji2002 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

   So I see these complaints all valid and frequent, yet no one seems to know how to write their legislators, that's where all of this should be directed, over and over. Also, healthcare is in shambles, has been for years, but as nurses, everytime we t...

3. One Nurse's Approach to Discussing the COVID-19 Vaccine

   maji2002 replied to nataliadab's topic in COVID

   Calling it "gene therapy" totally negates your argument that you have thought critically , are educated and considered the science. You indeed have not.

4. I Am Absolutely Miserable Because I Hate Being A Nurse

   maji2002 replied to PerkyWallflower10's topic in General Nursing

   I had similar as a young nurse, found out I had Graves disease, got that fixed and found my chill. Been a nurse for 37 years, but if that is not the case for you, you have time, and your education can still be useful, even in an entirely different c...

5. Where do you go when you don't trust official data sources?

   maji2002 replied to 10GaugeNeedles's topic in COVID

   Too many nurses are intellectually lazy. Day to day nursing doesn't require being able to rattle off how the Krebs cycle works, or how other detailed cellular biology works, so it is easily forgotten. Go back and read your cellular biology, review ...

6. How to Stop the Mass Nursing Exodus?

   maji2002 replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in COVID

   You are part of the problem. Just because things haven't changed much for you and you are willing to accept low wages and unsafe patient conditions, you will perpetuate the status quo. Sounds like a nightmare on a good day for the patient, and yet ...

7. How to Stop the Mass Nursing Exodus?

   maji2002 replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in COVID

   "Nursing is not a difficult job IMO and 50/hour is 100kish which is just outlandish for the level of work required." Just wow. Prepare for crucifixion.....

8. How to Stop the Mass Nursing Exodus?

   maji2002 replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in COVID

   "Unpopular take: There are a certain percentage of nurses now that didn't really want to be nurses in the first place. They did it because they could make good money, because their first choice didn't work out, because they needed it as a stepping ...

9. Covid-19 Vaccine Trials in South Africa: Another Tuskegee? #Black Lives Matter Around the World

   maji2002 replied to simba and mufasa's topic in COVID

   Major eye roll.... Big players and controllers of capitalism have largely been the US and Europe. Consequently they also have exploited workers from Asian countries and others for profit. This has resulted in less jobs for the US workers. It's not...

10. Covid-19 Vaccine Trials in South Africa: Another Tuskegee? #Black Lives Matter Around the World

    maji2002 replied to simba and mufasa's topic in COVID

    Who said anything about being pro socialist? Triggered much? Fact is capitalism has been dominated by mostly white countries, Europe and the US. Asia is a relative new comer to modern capitalism. Our policies have exploited poorer countries and the...

11. Covid-19 Vaccine Trials in South Africa: Another Tuskegee? #Black Lives Matter Around the World

    maji2002 replied to simba and mufasa's topic in COVID

    Black leaders are also subject to human greed and debauchery just as white leaders. Some sold their own people as slaves in the past, and some will sell their own out to whatever interests serve their purposes now. However, that still does not elim...

12. If Tulsa becomes a hotzone, I won't be volunteering there

    maji2002 replied to NewRN'16's topic in COVID

    Not that they hosted a rally, I don't think many in the city wanted it there, but there are so many blatantly and belligerently disregarding science, CDC recommendations because "their rights," to not wear a mask or distance and eat/drink at a resta...

13. If Tulsa becomes a hotzone, I won't be volunteering there

    maji2002 replied to NewRN'16's topic in COVID

    Caring for patients having consequences for the lifestyle is not an issue. None of us can "catch" their CVD, COPD, Type 2 DM. However, we can catch and die from this virus, from folks who flagrantly deny science, CDC recommendation, and think that we...

14. Can I Refuse to Work If My Facility Does Not Have Proper Personal Protective Equipment?

    maji2002 replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in COVID

    OK boomer. From a (barely) boomer. Get off the generational high horse, it's divisive and unhelpful, and frankly disgraceful.

15. Can I Refuse to Work If My Facility Does Not Have Proper Personal Protective Equipment?

    maji2002 replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in COVID

    When are we as nurses going to quit allowing ourselves to be victimized? It is long past time we take our place at the table and demand rights. Advocacy does NOT end at the bedside. Out highest advocacy should be in the government, where we advocat...
