Comparing SARS-CoV-2 natural immunity to vaccine induced immunity: rei-nfections versus breakthrough infections (Study led by Tal Patalon and Sivan Gazit at KSM, Israel): Study Text

This is not only possible, but is very probable. Case in point: Few years ago I applied for and got hired into ICU at a large hospital in Southeast. While undergoing 9-panel pre-hire drug check I was flagged for barbiturates. At the time my cat was d...

I don't think finding a clinical work will be an issue in the next few weeks. Hospitals that have been picky will no longer have the luxury to NOT have more RN's in the impending onslaught of covid-19 patients. Healthcare system is becoming overwhelm...

As previous posters aptly stated, there is no sugar coating it. Nursing is not for everyone. Some people enter nursing for all the wrong reasons. There are few eminently qualified nurses, there are a lot of task runners and fewer critical thinkers. M...

Interesting topic, however I'd never touch a road kill unless I was starving and needed to roast that carcass over fire. In Florida we leave road kill to vultures that vultures are actually protected species. Besides it's too hot and road kill won't ...

If you paint me "ignorant in my opinion", at least attempt to provide the basis for your statement to counter argue why you think there's a misconception on the part of nursing community. Until then, a condescending statement like this would only rei...

You're welcome and I hope you do get a job. ICU is a tough specialty but is very rewarding one, the one that really makes you think before you do. Just to add to the above said: If you really want to impress your unit manager, read about things like ...

As a former Trauma ICU nurse, I'd like to give you some pointers that might be helpful: - You will likely be asked about why you want to enter Critical Care, why did you decide to go to ICU and not the PACU first, as OR is not directly the path to IC...

No need to re-state the above said but, because healthcare has morphed into corporate money making machine, is it any wonder? Hospitals are run like publicly traded corporations and their main focus is revenue and profit, not lives. In this grand sch...

Don't let the circumstances sway you from your path. You are and will be a great ED nurse if that's where your heart is. Think of it as their loss and not yours. As one door closes another pne opens. I worked as a Trauma PCU/ICU nurse and can tell f...
