  1. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    Robmoo replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The flu vaccine is mandatory at my hospital. They used to just make people who didn't get vaccination wear a mask. I guess that was no threat for this year's vaccine, so they said get it or you're...

  2. Med error..... Could I lose my license?

    Robmoo replied to RN66's topic in General Nursing

    From the TXBON Looks like we would have reported both under current rules. Sec. 301.405. Duty of Person Employing Nurse to Report. (a) This section applies only to a person who employs,...

  3. Confused about IV Infusion that should not be stopped

    Robmoo replied to Demareseitipota's topic in General Nursing

    "Never" is an awful big word. It would be better to say that these drips should never be stopped without an excellent rationale that is centered in the patient's best interest. Unless parameters for...

  4. Med error..... Could I lose my license?

    Robmoo replied to RN66's topic in General Nursing

    I was on the peer review committee at my last hospital and can tell you that little gets reported to the board. Most issues, even a lot of very serious issues, are handled in-house. We had a...

  5. COVID-Positive Nurses Working: Irresponsible or Smart?

    Robmoo replied to J.Adderton's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We RN's have lost control of our

  6. COVID-Positive Nurses Working: Irresponsible or Smart?

    Robmoo replied to J.Adderton's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That is desperation! Is it to save money on agency and travelers or will patients have to go with less care without these nurses at the

  7. Oxygen and the rebreather mask question

    Robmoo replied to Slipping CMA's topic in General Nursing

    First lets start with the primary drive to breath in the normal (healthy) person. This is governed by CO2 level. Respiratory rate and depth are controlled by the need to rid the body of excess CO2....

  8. Texas Hospital making nurses resign or take care of COVID patients

    Robmoo replied to Rex Sanchez's topic in Disaster Preparation

    They can't force you to resign, but they can fire you if you won't make the move. Yes, nurses can qualify for unemployment, but I'm not certain if you will be able to in this situation. They will be...

  9. What is your minimum base pay on Covid-19 unit???

    Robmoo replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If you hired on as a new RN and now have 3 years of experience you are likely worth a lot more in your market than you are currently being paid. Apply for a couple of positions in your area and see...

  10. Is this anxiety or should I quit nursing?

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

    There are no great gains without great pains. Good luck in whatever you

  11. Is this anxiety or should I quit nursing?

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

    You'd be hard pressed to find a nurse who has not shared your feeling at some point. A psychologist is good, but a psychiatrist might be better. If they recommend medications then give it a try. It...

  12. Covid-19 Vaccine Trials in South Africa: Another Tuskegee? #Black Lives Matter Around the World

    Robmoo replied to simba and mufasa's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm surprised at the extremes that people go to in this discussion. We aren't talking about human experiments by Dr. Mengele. We are talking about human trials for a COVID vaccine. BTW Human safety...

  13. Covid-19 Vaccine Trials in South Africa: Another Tuskegee? #Black Lives Matter Around the World

    Robmoo replied to simba and mufasa's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Last time I checked South Africa is a sovereign nation that can make it's own decisions. Hopefully the rules regarding human testing in South Africa are similar to the rules here in the United...

  14. Protection During the Resurgence

    Robmoo replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    You are ignoring the fact that the police gear is a capital investment while the gear that the nurse is wearing is supposed to all be disposable. Before COVID the gear that we would go through in a...

  15. What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Robmoo replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you need to reevaluate the risk versus benefits of receiving a flu shot. Evidence shows that regarding vaccines including the flu shot that the benefits far outweigh the risks in all...

  16. Nurse Practitioner Needed/Not Needed?

    Robmoo replied to Sigrimis's topic in Advanced Practice

    One of my colleagues finished her NP just to take a pay cut to stay in GI. She enjoys the lifestyle more, which is good for her. Frankly, I'm not sold on earning an NP. The benefits don't outweigh...

  17. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    Robmoo replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    What we need to pass on to our young sons is that the most masculine thing they can do is learn to act like responsible adults. I've been a RN for over 20 years. In a class of 80 there were 4 of us....

  18. ICU Nurse Fired For Refusing 3rd Patient

    Robmoo replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that she has much hope in a whistle blower lawsuit. Generally whistle blower statues require reporting to a regulatory agency. Perhaps a harassment lawsuit would win? This situation is...
