  1. Your Thoughts on COVID-19 Vaccine

    Trampledunderfoot posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    What are y'all's thoughts on the many COVID-19 vaccines being tested? Safe vs unsafe. Which one do you think will be most effective? Do you think COVID-19 will mutate faster than the vaccines could be...

  2. Depression. Despair. Suicide.

    Trampledunderfoot replied to Deb_Aston's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I heard someone say it is hard for nurses to get mental health help because it shows on their back ground checks and will cause them to not get hired. Anyone know if this is true? If so, this is...

  3. I make a similar post every couple of months...Am I just not meant to be a nurse?

    Trampledunderfoot replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to say upfront that I haven't read this entire thread, so if what I am about to say has been said, forgive me. I wonder if you just need to try working with a different population. Kids...

  4. What are the police supposed to do if you resist arrest and try to use a police TASER on the cops?

    Trampledunderfoot replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    If you were right, you might have a point. You are not right, and therefore don't have a valid

  5. What are the police supposed to do if you resist arrest and try to use a police TASER on the cops?

    Trampledunderfoot replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Don't believe everything you learn in public school. Confederates wanted to succeed from the Union, which was within their rights. The Union did not want them too. Period. Confederates were no...

  6. What are the police supposed to do if you resist arrest and try to use a police TASER on the cops?

    Trampledunderfoot replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I personally, in my town, know of an instance where white police unjustly shot and killed 2 white men. It didn't even make the news past one article in the local paper. I have not managed to finish...

  7. Your Thoughts on COVID-19 Vaccine

    Trampledunderfoot replied to Trampledunderfoot's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Right, I forget that 2009 wasn't the first H1N1 outbreak (guess my age is showing ?). So they were well on their way for a vaccine before 2009, and it is not comparable to the COVID-19 timeline at...

  8. What are the police supposed to do if you resist arrest and try to use a police TASER on the cops?

    Trampledunderfoot replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I, like every other person (I believe), like to keep my tax dollars in my pocket. However, I believe that defunding the police, along with all the other crazy things I've heard, equals having police...

  9. What are the police supposed to do if you resist arrest and try to use a police TASER on the cops?

    Trampledunderfoot replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    It seems like the world is turning into a scary place for the police. I hear that they are trying to "defund" them, and also making it harder for them to win lawsuits against them. It seems like...

  10. Your Thoughts on COVID-19 Vaccine

    Trampledunderfoot replied to Trampledunderfoot's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That is a good article, askater112. I was young during H1N1, but they came out with a safe vaccine for it pretty quickly, in a year and a half, right? Was this d/t how it was just another flu

  11. Your Thoughts on COVID-19 Vaccine

    Trampledunderfoot replied to Trampledunderfoot's topic in Disaster Preparation

    How long do you think it will take after a vaccine comes out before we are able to know if it is truly

  12. Living as an older individual with comorbidities

    Trampledunderfoot replied to Hillbilly RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    WOW!, I'd never heard of this. This is really cool. More people need to think like you these days, Hillbilly RN! Forgive me for being naive toomuchbaloney, but do they really do

  13. Living as an older individual with comorbidities

    Trampledunderfoot replied to Hillbilly RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You did good. I enjoyed what you had to say, Hillbilly RN. It is sad, but know we are struggling together. You described a lot of what I and my family feel, and our anxieties as

  14. Living as an older individual with comorbidities

    Trampledunderfoot replied to Hillbilly RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Most of us don't feel this way about your life, Hillbilly RN. I appreciate the years of service you gave. I wish we could have been smarter about this from the start and saved the thousands of lives...

  15. Living as an older individual with comorbidities

    Trampledunderfoot replied to Hillbilly RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree with this

  16. Living as an older individual with comorbidities

    Trampledunderfoot replied to Hillbilly RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes, I get your point. Some should move on back to normal. Go around without a mask, forget social distancing, pretend everything is okay. Then you will find out how very wrong you are as you die...

  17. What is your "favorite" procedure?

    Trampledunderfoot replied to NewRN'16's topic in General Nursing

    Removing stitches is my favorite, staples too. Ear flushing is only satisfying for me if huge chunk comes out, love that. Don't think I've found a least favorite yet. Clipping toenails can also be...

  18. Nursing Homes. The bodies are just pilling up.

    Trampledunderfoot replied to xanderx's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Why not with their families? When did we decide they weren't worth our time? They are smarter than us, wiser than us, and loved and cared for us. They earned the same. They deserve a better more...

  19. Covid-19: The Guilt of the Work From Home Nurse

    Trampledunderfoot replied to maybug's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I do this, but worse. I catch myself constantly checking for cases to have come up in my prison as if that justifies my leaving, as if I need something more than what's going on to justify it. Then...

  20. Covid-19: The Guilt of the Work From Home Nurse

    Trampledunderfoot replied to maybug's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This sounds like my situation. I work per diem at a prison. My mother was horrified at the COVID-19 news, she has multiple health conditions, and I left pretty much for her. It is scary. I feel...

  21. COVID-19, If a nurse needs quarantined...

    Trampledunderfoot posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have not been a nurse long and have never worked through an epidemic like this before. If a nurse starts showing symptoms of covid-19 while at work, will she be sent home to be quarantined? Will she...

  22. AT A LOSS - COVID High Risk Nurse

    Trampledunderfoot replied to motherofcats's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Will there come a time when they CAN force you to work? Or where your license will have corrective action if you quit work when the nation is counting on you? On the news they are comparing it to WW2....

  23. Abandoning Ship

    Trampledunderfoot replied to cin808's topic in Nursing Career

    What about family members? I am currently caring for my great aunt with a compromised immune system who is in her 90's and another family member who is older with asthma. They are of the group that...

  24. COVID-19, If a nurse needs quarantined...

    Trampledunderfoot replied to Trampledunderfoot's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That's interesting. Why would they temporarily release prisoners? Is it because they are immune deficient? It would suck to later be picked back

  25. How do you know if correctional nursing is for you?

    Trampledunderfoot replied to angel.maria's topic in Correctional

    I think you would like it. I took a job in corrections because it was available and the pay was nice. Totally surprised that I loved it! I was a new grad with CNA and CMT experience in an...
