3. Covid-19 Religious Exemption

   lilmiz replied to NurseA2021's topic in COVID

   My employer has their own form for religious exemption, but if you are having to provide your own. The short and sweet of it is; provide a statement as to what your beliefs/ religious affiliation are. How taking the vaccine would be detrimental to yo...

4. Pushed by quacks, use of Ivermectin is poisoning people

   lilmiz replied to nursej22's topic in COVID

   Seriously!!! How sad that evidently even “nurses” can’t seem to have a educated discussion about Covid, the vaccine, or the experimental treatments and/or drugs (either new or established) that are being used. Instead a lot of name calling, misguided...

5. Crushing Burden of Regulatory Compliance on Healthcare

   lilmiz replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   I can’t believe how far off the tracks our healthcare system has gone. I have been working as a ICU travel nurse since the beginning of 2019. I left my last staff job due to ridiculous short staffing, tit for tat write ups based on administrative whi...

   lilmiz replied to ShadowNurse's topic in General Nursing

   I completely understand where your coming from as I am a old ASN nurse myself. I was a paramedic and decided to see how the “other” side of things worked as I was completely burnt out. I had to work the entire time I was in school and had 2 young boy...

    lilmiz replied to ERN19's topic in General Nursing

    One of the many side-effects of nursing, especially critical/emergency care. You will find the longer you are a nurse you will develop strange little neuronal behaviors. Foot in mouth syndrome is usually the first to emerge, along with “I don’t even ...

    lilmiz replied to KatieMI's topic in General Nursing

    I really love this discussion, and I am going to have to agree this whole customer service in healthcare is ridiculous. First of all it couldn't be more obvious that our hospitals are being ran by business people who have no idea what good medical ma...
