    Being Rushed in the ED

    NurseBlaq replied to vtachy's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think it's unsafe. If you're triaging patients as soon as you wank in the door, it will leave you open to unchecked traumas and liability issues. For example, you may be in a room where a patient...

    Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    NurseBlaq replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    In response to the OP, Covid cases were surging long before the protests due to people not wearing masks, not avoiding large crowds, going against the rules set in place to keep them safe and healthy....

    Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    NurseBlaq replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Notice how people fail to realize that. Before the protests, there was the armed idiots storming state capital buildings all so they can get a haircut and a beer at the local pub. Then there was the...

    NurseBlaq replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm not sure if you don't understand, or are into your own world and clueless of the rest of our plights, but this post shows exactly what is wrong in the country today. You assume a lot of things...

    I feel dumb as a rock in comparison to my classmates

    NurseBlaq replied to Nursing_1011's topic in General Students

    How did you get to the third semester and not know the basics? Why don't you know them? Why are you doing anything hands on and know nothing about it? Why haven't you studied? What do you mean med...

    50% of fatalities in nursing homes in some States

    NurseBlaq replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I already warned my children that if they put me in a SNF after all the sacrifices I've made for them I would definitely come back and haunt them. I meant every word. They better take turns taking...

    ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

    NurseBlaq replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

    Good thing I read through the thread before I responded because I was just about to call that poster out on the fairytales and fallacies. Classroom nursing professors, even in community college, must...

    Any nurses wished they had become doctors?

    Any nurses wished they had become doctors?

    NurseBlaq replied to Future MSN's topic in Retired Nurses

    I thought about a few seconds. The thought of being a resident for years made me just sit back and appreciate being a nurse so much

    There's "no evidence" coronavirus survivors can't be reinfected, WHO says

    NurseBlaq replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It may be due to comorbidities, genetics, or undiagnosed health problems. I personally think it's affecting Black people heavily due to silent heart disease. Silent heart disease is the number one...

    There's "no evidence" coronavirus survivors can't be reinfected, WHO says

    NurseBlaq replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think this virus has a strong cardiac based issue and not just respiratory. I say that because there are many symptoms that are circulation based and not just respiratory. Plus if the cardiac system...

    Why not quarantine McDonald's and ban soda pop?

    NurseBlaq replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This virus is exposing the fact the economy was already in trouble. I'm amazed big corporations were one paycheck away from bankruptcy too. However, I can't decide if it's greed to keep from paying...

    COVID-19: Nurse Shortages

    NurseBlaq replied to LucilleBluth's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not all retired nurses are elderly. Some retired because they were able to and others due to medical reasons. Also, for the hospitals listing needs, wasn't that supposed to be established and worked...

    Staying in the room with a COVID patient

    NurseBlaq replied to CityNurse80's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That's sad to code someone knowing they still have a slight chance of survival. Nurses nationwide are going to have PTSD when this is all over. We're used to seeing sickness and death but not on this...

    The federal government and VA are hiring. However, in AL they're asking nurses to come out of retirement and volunteer. Who the hell is going to volunteer to put themselves in harm's way without any...
