    Now this....the crazy just keeps getting crazier

    NurseBlaq replied to ladycody's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    He's trying to cut out the CDC because they're not all gung ho about sending our children back to school. Why change up now if it's innocent? The WHO is also being cut out by the Trump admin. Dr....

    SNF Residents Dying of Broken Hearts Due to Visitation Restrictions?

    NurseBlaq replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If he is in assisted living, can someone stay with him? His dementia may be getting worse because he's not seeing familiar faces and his routine has been

    Preventing patients from leaving AMA, legally covered?

    NurseBlaq replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    Contact your facility's risk management department and tell them legally you can't hold a patient against AMA orders unless they're a hazard to themselves or others, or they were pink-slipped. Also,...

    SNF Residents Dying of Broken Hearts Due to Visitation Restrictions?

    NurseBlaq replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's good to have some visitation than no visitation, but I'm concerned about them being outside in this heat and humidity. Some LTC facilities are offering phone and video chats to residents and...

    What do you think of Seattle encouraging municipal white employees to "undo their whiteness" at segregated training sessions?

    NurseBlaq replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Not what I meant at all. History is what it is, but ALL history needs to be taught, not the history of a few, and that includes bigoted history. We know all about certain parts of slavery and the...

    Differential Case Study: Lyme Disease or Covid-19?

    NurseBlaq replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in Critical Care

    That means it really was just a bad infection and the antibiotics worked. Glad you're starting to feel better and you avoided

    What do you think of Seattle encouraging municipal white employees to "undo their whiteness" at segregated training sessions?

    NurseBlaq replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Agreed but how effective is it if you're trying to force people to not be themselves and shaming them because of their skin color. That's no different than racists targeting nonwhite people for the...

    Why haven't hospital systems in hard-hit areas reached out to state BONs to find out if there are former ICU or other high-demand specialty nurses?

    NurseBlaq replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Disaster Preparation

    AL BON sent emails asking nurses to come back to work with links to hospitals hiring, facility needs, etc. However, no BON can force nurses to return to

    What do you think of Seattle encouraging municipal white employees to "undo their whiteness" at segregated training sessions?

    NurseBlaq replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Say what now? There is no way to undo whiteness or any other race. Why can't people just be them and utilize the principles of right and wrong? Every culture has their "thing" going for them. I'm...

    Yes, another "which job should I choose" question..but I really do need feedback

    NurseBlaq replied to Peachpit's topic in General Nursing

    You pretty much answered your own question. If you've been doing CM, stick to that plus it has more pay, better hours, and less facetime unless there's a meeting vs longer drive, extensive hours per...

    Covid-19 Vaccine Trials in South Africa: Another Tuskegee? #Black Lives Matter Around the World

    NurseBlaq replied to simba and mufasa's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The thread title includes BLM so you know off the top it's going to have a racial sentiment to the thread. I'm convinced some people enter these conversations just to create chaos and be disruptive....

    Covid-19 Vaccine Trials in South Africa: Another Tuskegee? #Black Lives Matter Around the World

    NurseBlaq replied to simba and mufasa's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I did read it and I didn't say anything to the point of it being the first-ever HIV trial. Why would you assume I didn't? The point of the article is to show how/why people in Africa feel about being...

    Brazilian journalists suing Pres. Bolsonaro after COVID diagnosis

    NurseBlaq replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I haven't been keeping up with Bolsonoro and I'm aware he infected them. My thing is if he's that bad then they should have known to stay away from him. I'm sure US journalists know to stay away from...

    New Swine Flu?

    You learn something new every day. Never knew pigs could catch viruses from birds and mutate new ones.

    Please advice me

    NurseBlaq replied to Sam84's topic in General Nursing

    So the BON told you to take the NCLEX for licensure in The States, is that right? If that's the case, you would have to take the NCLEX no matter which state you move to. If you're unable to pass the...

    Brazilian journalists suing Pres. Bolsonaro after COVID diagnosis

    NurseBlaq replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Did they have masks on? Why didn't they ask him to put it back on? Why didn't they keep their distance? He's not the only person at fault here and I'm pro

    US enrolling volunteers for coronavirus vaccine trials

    NurseBlaq replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't think the vaccine will work. If people who were infected can become infected again, then the vaccine won't work. There's no inherent immunity. I also wonder if it will continuously mutate like...

    NEVER do an ABSN

    I don't think that's exclusive to ABSN. Nursing education is insane overall but well worth
