1. Detroit ED Nurses refuse to work without more help, ordered to leave by Administration

   cazreye replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in COVID

   Day shift supported their fellow nurses, knowing that there was nothing else to do to bring attention to the issue. Now that this has gotten publicity, the criminally incompetent management might do something about it. This hospital serves the poor i...

2. What is it like in your hospital right now?

   cazreye replied to FloatFNP-C's topic in COVID

   My hospital has 2 covid icus and 2 covid medsurgs. Multiple codes, multiple deaths, some people getting better. I haven’t worked on my cardiac Telly floor for 2 weeks, been working as a runner for ICU. They started out being very hard core not allow...

3. To be a coward, or to be a fool?

   cazreye replied to MsJenn_The_RN's topic in COVID

   I have no intention of putting my life on the line to save others. Especially when the risk to my life is due to poor planning and greed by those In hospital boardrooms. I didn’t sign up to go to a war torn country or work on an aircraft carrier. I g...

4. Would you refuse to care for a COVID-19 patient?

   cazreye replied to Nurse Beth's topic in COVID

   I live in an area with a lot of different hospitals and all the nurses are sharing information. What is frightening is one icu actually ramped up ppe to p100 masks while others only offer droplet mask and face shield. If I have to work with covid pat...

5. Refusing Care of a COVID-19 Patient Due to Inappropriate PPE

   cazreye replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in COVID

   WOW!. Oregon nurses you have just entered the category of indentured servitude. You don’t have any say or voice on how you are protected at work - according to the letter they don’t even have to follow the WHO or CDC unless they decide to.

6. Refusing Care of a COVID-19 Patient Due to Inappropriate PPE

   cazreye replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in COVID

   I saw a great quote from a physician. He said that the cdc didn’t lower ppe standards because droplet masks were actually safe for healthcare workers. They lowered them in order to allow us to keep taking care of the public in the face of a shortage....

7. Refusing Care of a COVID-19 Patient Due to Inappropriate PPE

   cazreye replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in COVID

   It appears now that anyone wearing a mask anywhere but in a precautions room will be ‘walked out’. I hear the whole ER will wear masks tonight. this has become absurd.

8. Quarantined Nurse’s Scorching Anti-CDC Rant Goes Viral

   cazreye replied to MunoRN's topic in COVID

   My hospital will give 2 weeks of paid time off IF you test positive. If you can’t get tested (and you have it - probably from wearing a surgical mask per cdc recs) you will use your own cto for your time off. Lawd.

9. Refusing Care of a COVID-19 Patient Due to Inappropriate PPE

   cazreye replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in COVID

   Yeah I absolutely believe U.S. nurses are being thrown under the bus. I do not believe that paper surgical masks are protective against airborne virus, which this is. I plan to bring my own N95 to work. If I’m asked to take care of a c-19 I’m gonna w...

11. Contribute! New grad offers MI

    cazreye replied to cazreye's topic in Job Hunt

    I did take the Beaumont job even though it was less money. The preceptorship was 3 weeks longer and the nurse patient ratio better too! St joe also had 1 tech for 15 pts at night. That is pushing it in my opinion.

12. Contribute! New grad offers MI

    cazreye posted a topic in Job Hunt

    I am a new grad (ADN) in Metro Detroit, MI looking for a job. I graduated from Oakland community college in May. I have had interviews at 2 hospitals, so I have the info about what they are currently paying new grads: Beaumont Health - 26.04, 2.50 fo...

13. Oakland Community College Nursing insight

    cazreye replied to TammyTho's topic in Michigan

    Well, theory is one day a week, usually for 3.5 hours. Lab is one day a week, also usually for 3.5 hours. Lab may be in Southfield or Waterford, its completely random where they send you. Some people got lab and theory on the same day, but I never di...

    I am about to graduate from that program. They have a mentorship program, where they pair new students with senior students to help them and answer their questions about what is to come.
