  1. Kern County ER Docs C-19

    I am very sorry about your brother and hope he will be OK. I cannot speak to conditions at your hospital or in your area. You are clearly working very hard and are frustrated. Your responses are...
  2. Kern County ER Docs C-19

    This article is from March 26. I am talking about now. Even New York is easing their lockdown at this point. Even at the peak of the crisis in NYC, there were enough ventilators. An emergency tent...

    Again, the article does not indicate that these people were refused care in a hospital due to lack of
  4. Kern County ER Docs C-19

    ? My comment was on your article, which I read. My comment in response to that stands. As for patients being sent home for self-care, without more info on the specific cases, we don't know what...
  5. Kern County ER Docs C-19

    I am sorry you are upset and kudos to you for your hard work in this crisis. I have repeatedly stated that we should not take a one-size-fits-all approach, meaning we don't treat Modoc County Calif...

    What is your point? It is irrelevant to this discussion. I am not talking about trained personnel or what your personal experience is. I am talking about policy decisions. 1. You have NO evidence...
  7. Kern County ER Docs C-19

    You misunderstood me. My stance is that lockdowns should be at the local level, not the state level. Anyway, that ship is sailing. Over 1/2 of states are starting to lift lockdowns. And more and...
  8. Kern County ER Docs C-19

    OK, so now you qualify your statements. You are OK with the raw data, but don't like how they applied it. OK. But I am OK with what they said. Here in California, we have been fortunate. More...
  9. Kern County ER Docs C-19

    I can't speak to what is going on inside each individual hospital. My point is that in most parts of the country, the healthcare system was never overwhelmed. Even in NYC, it was clear that the...

    They provided raw data from their practice. How is that inaccurate? That is not unethical. They provided their opinions. That is not unethical. They extrapolated, yes, but they were clear when...
  11. Kern County ER Docs C-19

    Why do you keep asking me the same question over and over? I have repeatedly answered your question: 1. People who have tested positive for COVID should be quarantined. Due to the shortage of...
  12. Kern County ER Docs C-19

    I am very concerned that the "flatten the curve" has morphed into prolonged lockdowns. The purpose of flattening the curve was to prevent the healthcare system from being overwhelmed. It was NOT to...
  13. Kern County ER Docs C-19

    We agree on cost benefit analysis. We don't really have any truly sound science on COVID at this point. As for "inflammatory claims," it appears that some on this forum think an inflammatory claim is...
  14. Kern County ER Docs C-19

    Please watch and listen again. Their point is that we should quarantine those are have COVID and in addition, individuals who are in a high risk group should self-isolate and so forth. There is no...

    Hi there, you can send me PM through
  16. Kern County ER Docs C-19

    My point, and the point of the Bakersfield doctors, is that we "quarantine" the sick. We need to start lifting this unprecendented lockdown of the entire population. We do have a pretty good handle...
  17. Kern County ER Docs C-19

    *** Yes, we need to constantly re-evaluate and consider other points of view. That is what I said. *** I fail to see how the Nursing Process is relevant to my comments. *** NO ONE knows...
  18. Kern County ER Docs C-19

    Another doctor that does a beautiful job explaining why our lockdown approach may have been wrong and that we need to start lifting the lockdown is Dr. David Katz. He was on Politically Incorrect...
  19. Kern County ER Docs C-19

    Above is incorrect. The doctors were very clear they were only making comments based on their data for the Bakersfield area. They were also very clear when they extrapolated. Every single sample...

    Any public community college in SoCal is fine for an ADN. Apply to as many as
  21. Getting into a PMHNP program

    There are PMHNP programs that don't require a super high GPA. I'd suggest applying to more schools than just those three. Also, you can call schools and talk to an admissions counselor about your...

  23. FNP job search gone bad

    I'm in California and had no trouble getting a job as a new grad NP (but that was before COVID). Basically, anywhere that is not on the coast has a shortage of providers, so there will be more...
  24. FNP job search gone bad

    I suggest getting licensed in the Western states like California, Oregon, WA, AZ, NV, NM, etc. These states have acute shortages of providers not just in rural areas, also in many larger cities and...
  25. Unprofessional Conduct Online

    As others have stated, just unfriend the person and mind your own business. However, this individual may be in violation of their employer's policies. Many healthcare organizations prohibit posting...
