    Interested in learning PD

    Hoosier_RN replied to IMOKAY's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Also, per another thread on here, check with your auto insurance. With the travel/driving, it is considered business using your car for work, which puts your auto insurance in another class (higher),...

    Nurses are Fleeing the Hospital

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    It wasn't based on mileage, it's on the basis that you are using the vehicle for business. Business rates are different. If your agent doesn't set you up on business rate, or have a clause in your...

    Nurses are Fleeing the Hospital

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I agree and I think it's crappy, but as an adult, everyone should educate themselves about this. I use the "good neighbor" insurance company. My agent knows that I'm a nurse and about every 6 months...

    Infection Prevention Misinformation

    a nurse friend of mine at Country Bumpkin General tested positive for CV-19 yesterday. Like me, she does the right things, and avoids situations that could have led to this, and takes precautions....

    Infection Prevention Misinformation

    Hoosier_RN replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'll have to check about the infection preventionist, as I avoid the antics of CBG as much as possible. My friend did get well, but opted to retire, as her hubby has a very good job, and she's just...

    Why Do New Grads Lack Critical Thinking Skills?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to add this: critical thinking, in and of itself cannot be taught. The components of each individual situation can be learned, to an open mind. Think-a patient crashing, a new skill being...

    I Think I'm Done With Nursing

    Hoosier_RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I do at work or Dr office, that's it. I stay home otherwise, groceries/ordered items delivered or curbside pick up. I have serious mask fatigue, and like you, have just chosen to avoid the mask...

    My Covid Story: From the Other Side of the Bed

    Hoosier_RN replied to Cricket183's topic in Disaster Preparation

    A very good, thoughtful read! I'm so sorry that you had to go through that. I was luckier with my experience, I had a fever for a few days, some SOB-which I still occasionally struggle with. But no...

    Was I in the Right Here?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Grande_latte04's topic in General Nursing

    That's why I suggested MSW and MD. There needs to be referrals to other resources, and that falls unto these 2 scopes of practice. It was my nice, non-judgmental way of saying it

    Was I in the Right Here?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Grande_latte04's topic in General Nursing

    You followed policy with your timing. You also told him about your discomfort re:safety with his actions, and getting charge involved. A MSW and MD need to be aware and get involved at this point, as...

    Nurses are Fleeing the Hospital

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Not necessarily. The wealthy at that level generally don't care until it affects them or a loved one. I totally get you about this career line draining you. If I were younger, I'd jump ship in a...

    Biden announced nursing homes must require employee COVID vaccination to get federal Medicare+Medicaid funding

    Hoosier_RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    IN has a database (I'm guessing other states do too) that every covid vaccination injection was tracked, like other vaccines (flu/pneumo/prevnar, etc). Although it's not required for dialysis workers...

    Why Do New Grads Lack Critical Thinking Skills?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    But they'll post pics of themselves on their social media sites, sans cape, stating how they are single handedly saving (name the dept)! While I love some technological advances, it has dumbed...
