1. Should hospitals inform patients and family that COVID positives nurses and staff may be working on a unit?

   love2banurse89 replied to DesiDani's topic in COVID

   I work in long term care & everyone in every Dept has worn a mask every day since March of 2020. In my dentists’ office everyone is wearing masks. Apparently it’s different in different settings. ?‍♀️

2. Should hospitals inform patients and family that COVID positives nurses and staff may be working on a unit?

   love2banurse89 replied to DesiDani's topic in COVID

   Why would you want to tell them that? What good does it do? A nurse could also be positive for influenza, the common cold, hepatitis, shingles, herpes, bronchitis or a host of other infections, and still be at work! The CDC guidance is for people who...

   love2banurse89 replied to Nurse.Kay.Mulan's topic in New Nurse

   I’m soooo glad to read this! Some people are just jerks & unfortunately some, no matter how “nice” they might seem, will try to throw you under the bus. Just be aware of them & Keep your standards in how you set up & give meds—do NOT take...

   Thanks for being a voice of reason. It makes me angry & sad to see the divisiveness this issue is causing. I have never seen such anger, condescension, insults, name calling, & bullying in caregivers. Considering we are wearing required PPE w...

   love2banurse89 replied to Jedrnurse's topic in COVID

   Thank you! If people would look beyond the hysteria to actual numbers of beds & ventilators available they’d see “real life”. ICU beds at 90% capacity? Face it-a hospital is a business & it is their GOAL to have most beds full (I’m NOT sugges...

   love2banurse89 replied to Jedrnurse's topic in COVID

   THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH! I am beyond sick and tired of the attitude of these pompous, arrogant, know-it-all, demeaning, criticizing people who refuse to even comprehend that there might be a point of view other than their own. I'm tired of getting accu...

7. Question for In Hospital Nurse Educator

   love2banurse89 replied to Magnolia11's topic in CNS

   Great suggestions! No one wants to waste time waiting. I also start on time no matter how many people are there. Recently I did a Med Aide skills fair. I started with a review of the basics—but had the Med aides fill in the sheet rather tha...

8. Question for In Hospital Nurse Educator

   love2banurse89 replied to Magnolia11's topic in CNS

   I’m the Director of Clinical Education & work in long-term care. Teaching “on the floor” works, you just have to be very available & ready to teach at a moments notice. Just before change of shift can be a good time, when people from both shi...

9. Getting the Vaccine: Nurses Lead the Way

   love2banurse89 replied to jeastridge's topic in COVID

   OK I’m pretty much done with this, but just a few more questions & comments . Why are the people who are for the COVID vaccination so angry, so insistent, so frantic about everyone getting the vaccine? if you got the vaccine, you are sa...

10. Getting the Vaccine: Nurses Lead the Way

    love2banurse89 replied to jeastridge's topic in COVID

    Guess I should have re-phrased it—“Not every doctor recommends the vaccine, and there is just not enough LONG TERM (there is some short term) evidence that it is safe &/or effective”. People should do their own research and make their own decisi...

11. Getting the Vaccine: Nurses Lead the Way

    love2banurse89 replied to jeastridge's topic in COVID

    Yes. And, I have and will continue to encourage people to do their own research … as stated above. There is by no means a scientific and expert consensus on getting the vaccine.

12. Getting the Vaccine: Nurses Lead the Way

    love2banurse89 replied to jeastridge's topic in COVID

    I have & will continue to encourage people to do the research on the CDC, NIH, Health Dept & Phizer & Moderna (or whatever vaccine is available) websites, talk to their doctor and THEN make an informed decision—which I will respect.

13. Getting the Vaccine: Nurses Lead the Way

    love2banurse89 replied to jeastridge's topic in COVID

    Yes! This exact vaccine has NOT been used long term (unless you consider “long term” to be 15 months) by anyone’s definition. This type of vaccine, the technology, etc may have been in teaser hours & development for years, but this exact vaccine,...

14. Getting the Vaccine: Nurses Lead the Way

    love2banurse89 replied to jeastridge's topic in COVID

    Well, as you can see from my posts above, I’m in the 1/3 of people who have gotten my info & based my decision on reputable info. And I’m certainly not spreading any myths. I encourage people to study the research & make their own decision.

15. Getting the Vaccine: Nurses Lead the Way

    love2banurse89 replied to jeastridge's topic in COVID

    I’m almost 100% positive that you will not accept any “specific concern” of mine from any expert, no matter how well qualified, whose opinion doesn’t agree with yours. I’ve offered my research resources so you can check out the actual numbers & d...
