3. Using Your Nursing Credentials to Validate Anti-Vaxxer Theories

   saraleigh replied to Helen Crump's topic in COVID

   None of these products caused a world-wide pandemic. We are treading in much deeper waters here (regarding Covid-19) and as such our actions and words have much greater consequence, literally and figuratively.

6. COVID-19: How to handle working with staff who don't take precautions out of work

   saraleigh replied to cmcrawfo's topic in COVID

   No testing of staff whatsoever in Southern California hospital. Two thirds of our patients are covid positive and we have been working out of ratio for at least a week. And yes, some of my fellow nurses continue to travel like the world isn't succumb...

7. Oxygen requirements & level of care

   saraleigh replied to Ele_123's topic in COVID

   I work med surg tele with ratio of 1:4 and more often than not have covid patients on heated high flow or oxymizer. It really is unnerving to have one on both high flow and the non rebreather though.

13. What is it like to work in a good hospital?

    saraleigh replied to Green Tea, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I continued to work in SNF after getting my RN so that I could be "picky" about my next place of employment, i.e. relatively better benefits/pay and day shift schedule. It took about 18 months and hundreds of applications to achieve this, but I made ...

14. Generation Z

    saraleigh replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing
