  1. The Wage Gap Myth

    Testosterone is one helluva drug. Aggression and self-advocacy go much farther than people realize.
  2. Can I Refuse to Work If My Facility Does Not Have Proper Personal Protective Equipment?

    I took no oath whatsoever to anything or anyone. My first obligation is to myself. You will never pin me on any fictional obligation to martyrdom. If you're so desperate to make a martyr of yourself go into COVID rooms without any PPE. But leave me, ...
  3. "My Nurse"

    I'd be thrilled if any of our surgeons felt connected enough to refer to us in a possessive sense. It might imply some sort of bond or familiarity that we don't have
  4. ICU or IMU telemetry?

    I work with several nurses who came to my facility from various HCA facilities. Not one of my former cowerkers who have left have gone to an HCA facility. As best as I can tell, that company is emblematic of everything that is soulless, evil and wron...
  5. SHHHHH, dont tell anyone I'm a RN

    What about his unprofessionalism? How is it okay to just deny someone income that they need to live for no cause? Your employer is not your God and should not be treated with unearned devotion. Clearly they have no regard for the OP. I suggest that a...
  6. Just Say “YES” to Nurse Staffing Laws

    The ANA comment "Professional nurses’ and other staff members’ skill levels and expertise" comment sounds suspiciously like dumping more patients on more skilled nurses. Your hard work will once again be rewarded with even more hard work.
  7. Take away my 12 hour shifts and I'll be taking away my labor. The quality of life effect of having four days a week not to be at work is immense.
  8. Millennial Nurses Have Issues

    Millennial nurses are lazy? Yes. Yes we are. And I proudly include myself in this category. Hospitals are run by lazy, unethical sleazebags who cut us to the bone and always expect us to do more with less, and then pat themselves on the back every ti...
  9. Transvascular Aortic Valve Implantation

    The newer medtronic corevalves seem to me to be more prone to causing asystole. Probably because they extend into the ventricle more and can depress onto the purkinje system more. To the OP, watch for a newly emerging left bundle branch block, that i...
  10. Ebola - do you have the right to walk away?

    You're damn right I have the right to refuse. I am under no obligation to die for my profession. I may suffer career consequences, but I accept that as fair.
  11. Nursing and the Ebola Virus

    If ebola spreads into the region I am going on hiatus. The ugly truth is that ebola kills healthcare workers. I don't see myself as being under obligation to die for my profession.
  12. "Houston we have a problem" This just got very real

    AP Enterprise: Records chronicle how Ebola kills Reading this and seeing some of the commentary on his Sx, it looks pretty ugly. As someone who has been hit by projectile vomiting (thankfully not by projectile diarrhea though) I can say that those ...
  13. "Houston we have a problem" This just got very real

    I bet you hard cash that human ebola is droplet spread instead of pure contact like they claim. However, here's the kicker. There is a non-human strain, ebola reston that is VERY airborne and has a higher lethality. So a close cousin to the current...
  14. First Person To Person Spread Of Ebola In US

    Of course they're saying the worker was careless. They're still telling us that everything is under control and that it's purely contact spread. To say anything other than worker carelessness would undermine what they've said before.
  15. Student uniforms

    All white shoes are damn near impossible to find for men, that is the ugly truth. The other real problem is that they are never good shoes. You basically condemn your students to spending their days with hurting feet and maybe backs too. No facili...
