3. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

   Mickey78 replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in COVID

   Personally, I will not be getting the vaccine and if that means looking for employment elsewhere, I guess that's what I will have to do. I find it interesting that people are being mandated by employers to get a vaccine that technically has not gone...

4. Is it reasonable for Nurses to be fired who "ran away" from work during the pandemic?

   Mickey78 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in COVID

   Unfortunately, your complaints need to be taken up with management if you are concerned about it as it has nothing to do with the nurses who took LOA and frankly, that is really none of your business as frustrating as the situation may be.

6. Thoughts on being a CNA in Nursing school. Is it a good idea?

   Mickey78 replied to rleah's topic in General Students

   Good video on pros/cons and working as a CNA during nursing school. Again, lots of variables. If you have the luxury of not having to work while in nursing school then why work and not devote your studies to nursing school. Most people though dont...

8. Is it legal for your boss to dictate where you poop?

   Mickey78 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

   Hmmm... personally, I don't think anything can be said about what bathroom you use to poop unless it was specifically for patients. I view it as a request and her/his preference as to where you go to the bathroom. Have you specifically asked why th...

10. Handwashing Question

    Mickey78 replied to Mickey78's topic in General Nursing

    While I do appreciate the responses, using the wet paper towel from drying my hands would not be acceptable as the paper towel I use to turn off the faucet after washing and drying my hands is supposed to be dry according to our nursing text and once...

11. Handwashing Question

    Mickey78 replied to Mickey78's topic in General Nursing

    Delana, I do start by cranking it to wash my hands but after using the paper towel to dry my hands, how do I touch the crank again to get paper towel to turn off the faucet without recontaminating my clean and dried hands?

    Hello Everyone, I am a new nursing student who has a question about hand washing and the use of the old lever/crank paper towel dispensers. I was wondering how one would correctly wash and dry their hands without recontaminating their hands by touc...
