    Why are some RNs rarely busy, while others are always busy

    Hoosier_RN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    in some cases I agree. But in other cases, especially when they've done chit-chat and text all shift and want everyone to help catch up end of shift,

    COVID-19: Nurse Shortages

    Hoosier_RN replied to LucilleBluth's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Some rural areas are saturated with RNs, NPs (of all specialties) and CRNAs, because everybody and their brother/sister went to nursing school, or furthered their nursing education. The local...

    Hoosier_RN replied to Lookaliveforonce's topic in General Nursing

    and most who work in the hospitals are doing everything that they can to get out-looking for non bedside, clinics, home health, etc. I don't ever want to work in a hospital again, it would have to be...

    Should I try LTC?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Yellownurse15's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    There is much to learn! Just go in with the attitude that its a learning experience and find a home with a decent reputation. It's my other love, dialysis is my true

    Oh, dear, she's currently working at a neighboring dialysis clinic. The manager thinks she's great. Coworkers on the floor, not so

    Are Big City Hospitals Really Getting Hit With COVID-19 Pts?

    I'll pray over that. I'm sorry

    Informed employer I was going to NYC to help with COVID crisis and was threatened to be reported for pt abandonment

    Hoosier_RN replied to Butterflygrl38's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I will make a recommendation beyond what you've been told. If you only have home health experience, don't go-you won't be much help. They are in need of very experienced ER and ICU nurses. Some travel...

    Can they make an RN work as a CNA?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    yes, as it falls under the job description of "and other duties as needed". In nursing school, all of us were taught all of the tasks that the CNA does, so that we can direct. It's not beneath us, and...

    Is it OK to put my friend in a bad spot to take a job?

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

    Hoosier_RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thanks to both of you for putting this out there, it's good to see the WHO official timeline in one place. I've seen parts on one thread, then other parts on another. Most of us have caught the bits...

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

    Hoosier_RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As a previous poster noted, there is so little that we know about this virus. Unfortunately, China may know something, but their government is not always the most forthcoming with information. It's...

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

    Hoosier_RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm wondering at this, as WHO and CDC did not report known cases until late Dec or early Jan. I asked my MD buddy at local county health dept, he couldn't find anything earlier than that either. I do...

    Read the post prior to yours. If the president was given faulty information, it's hard to make a sound decision. People who blame Trump for everything are just as desperate sounding as those who...

    Are Big City Hospitals Really Getting Hit With COVID-19 Pts?

    Hoosier_RN replied to EPS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Off the posted subject, but I run into this often. Patients who claim to be veterans but can't tell me their MOS (and these guys are younger or same age as me) or don't know common terms. It's sad...

    Should I feel guilty?

    Hoosier_RN replied to kayopi's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Don't feel guilty. As you stated, the needed specialties are not what you do. Your area may become active once things start opening up, and then you may become a necessity. Hang in there and be...

    I know, but many have not given specific data. Those are just ignored as "political pawns". Sheltering in place was never meant to wait out the virus totally. I dont believe that can be done, with any...
