  1. What have been your favorite gifts from families?

    HiddencatBSN replied to HiddencatBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, unit gifts is what I am wanting to do. Personal letters for individuals directly involved but I want to thank the units as a

  2. RN Jobs That Do Not Require Covid Vaccine

    HiddencatBSN replied to TraumaRN52's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Also 1994 was a long time ago and as I said, the general public probably is still more likely to use ER so it makes sense that a nearly 30-year-old tv series aimed at the general public would use that...

  3. RN Jobs That Do Not Require Covid Vaccine

    HiddencatBSN replied to TraumaRN52's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Honestly the ED vs ER discussion is probably the most valuable part of this thread. The “topic at hand” was not, I also believe, started in good

  4. RN Jobs That Do Not Require Covid Vaccine

    HiddencatBSN replied to TraumaRN52's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Non-healthcare workers might call it the ER in the US but everywhere I’ve worked has been an Emergency

  5. Critical Thinking Meets the Aspiration Debate

    HiddencatBSN replied to Jon E Soskis's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    “Common sense” can actually be wrong. That’s why we review research and don’t rely on “survivor bias” for

  6. Critical Thinking Meets the Aspiration Debate

    HiddencatBSN replied to Jon E Soskis's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Fyi. If we’re talking about evidence-based practice this has great info on caring for children in a medical

  7. Critical Thinking Meets the Aspiration Debate

    HiddencatBSN replied to Jon E Soskis's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You must never have worked with Child Life

  8. Critical Thinking Meets the Aspiration Debate

    HiddencatBSN replied to Jon E Soskis's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Yeah, it can seem worse to give developmental appropriate warning but I do so so so much reassurance that I am not going to do anything painful without warning or sneak up on them. Seeing kids flinch...

  9. Critical Thinking Meets the Aspiration Debate

    HiddencatBSN replied to Jon E Soskis's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    A one-site exception doesn’t seem to be a good enough reason to teach and encourage aspiration for all IM injections. When I was in school aspiration was still the standard but it’s not anymore so...

  10. Steps to travel as an ped ED nurse?

    HiddencatBSN replied to cw.sea's topic in General Nursing

    I looked in to it and there are definitely fewer peds ED assignments and many will be peds eds connected to adult eds and you often end up being the first floated to adults as a traveler. ENPC is...

  11. How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    HiddencatBSN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    4 on my unit. 2 were placed on leave and will lose their jobs at the end of the union grievance process, 1 has a temporary medical exemption and 1 has a religious exemption that is currently being...

  12. My boyfriend is still unvaccinated

    HiddencatBSN replied to vio's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The parenting dynamic is a HUGE red flag for me too. But what do I know, it's only been the cause of massive resentment in my ending marriage LOL. Like I'm all for vaccine mandates and getting as many...

  13. My boyfriend is still unvaccinated

    HiddencatBSN replied to vio's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I’m having deja vu but yes, if there are other occupants in the car, wearing a seatbelt prevents you from becoming an object in the car that can hit and injure

  14. My boyfriend is still unvaccinated

    HiddencatBSN replied to vio's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Oh honey. He is a grown *** man and can and should manage his own health. Look, I am pro vaccine. I support the mandates. But I’m also in the process of getting a divorce after 17 years married to...

  15. My boyfriend is still unvaccinated

    HiddencatBSN replied to vio's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You say everything is perfect but you’re already in a sort of parenting dynamic with him with this. It is totally OK for this to be important for you. It’s clearly not for him. You can’t change...

  16. Mandating vaccine for children

    HiddencatBSN replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You're promoting and amplifying antivax nonsense during a pandemic. You should consider the harm your intellectual exercise is

  17. Mandating vaccine for children

    HiddencatBSN replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think that is obvious. You might not like the label but you're using antivax rhetoric. https://www.britannica.com/topic/social-contract You "signed" by living in and benefiting from...

  18. Mandating vaccine for children

    HiddencatBSN replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don’t take advice from antivaxxers. Vaccines are a part of the social contract, especially during a pandemic. And COVID is having a massive burden on society beyond the people directly affected....

  19. Mandating vaccine for children

    HiddencatBSN replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We’ve started to see some pretty sick kids lately. My kids are getting vaccinated as soon as it’s available for their age, and this was already my plan, but I’ll be especially relieved when they...

  20. Nurses Promoting COVID Misinformation

    HiddencatBSN replied to Tigerlily8's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Honestly I think nurses should lose their license over this

  21. Vaccination Mandating

    HiddencatBSN replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Support. I think the medical exemptions are plenty. We’re healthcare workers during a pandemic: we should be

  22. Yes, I'm Vaxxed But...

    HiddencatBSN replied to grammieRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It won’t- homeopathy takes a substance and puts it in water and agitates the water, dilutes it, shakes the dilution, and repeats until all that’s left of the substance are its “vibrations” in...

  23. Yes, I'm Vaxxed But...

    HiddencatBSN replied to grammieRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Right? Like we’re not talking to the general public here. We’re talking to nurses who should know

  24. Yes, I'm Vaxxed But...

    HiddencatBSN replied to grammieRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Or they’ll get it and have long term sequelae like a friend of mine who used to be an ER nurse and got COVID early in the pandemic and is in the years-long process of applying for SSD because...

  25. Yes, I'm Vaxxed But...

    HiddencatBSN replied to grammieRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And the fact that vaccines aren’t 100% and have never been claimed to be. Being around unvaccinated people is still a risk to me. IDK, I’m pretty sure jive turkey is just intentionally...
