  1. New job. Got injured. Fired for unexcused absences during new hire probation period... what did I do wrong?

    BSNbound21 replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    I have strong feelings that this has to do with you going to the ER during your shifts. I personally would never volunteer to go to the ER during my shift; the only way I'm going is if someone takes...

  2. Group chats and cheating?

    BSNbound21 replied to Emeraldstorm's topic in General Students

    unfortunately, it doesn't necessarily matter what your moral beliefs are when reporting cheating- she likely signed a handbook that makes it one of her responsibilities. Depending on the nursing...

  3. How bad will it get in the fall/Winter time?

    BSNbound21 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Got the injection today after a two-hour appointment (it's paid, so ndb). I think I got antigen and not saline. The EMT all but told me it was the vaccine. Will normal saline sting if injected? I...

  4. How bad will it get in the fall/Winter time?

    BSNbound21 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Quoting you both b/c I don't know how to "tag" people on here ha. So tomorrow I'm getting the first of two injections for P's trial followed by four blood tests (over time of course and possibly one...

  6. How bad will it get in the fall/Winter time?

    BSNbound21 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    see my above post- this is Moderna's and I was called for Pfizer's (in my original post I thought I was being called for Moderna's). It's possible they said "seven visits" and I interpreted that as...

  7. How bad will it get in the fall/Winter time?

    BSNbound21 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm confused b/c when they first called me I could have sworn they said Moderna but they called me Monday to schedule the first injection this week and said it was Pfizer... I feel like Moderna's...

  8. How bad will it get in the fall/Winter time?

    BSNbound21 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I was told I would be getting SEVEN injections... but that's not what's been printed in the media and disclosed in press releases. It's possible the vaccine is going to be a flop. I think it's...

  9. How bad will it get in the fall/Winter time?

    BSNbound21 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There probably won't be a vaccine for one to two more years. I am in the process of joining Moderna's phase 3 trial and they have told me that it will last over the next two years. So, I wouldn't...

  10. Dr. Pimple Popper Thinks Nurses Have No Place Educating Patients

    BSNbound21 replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in General Nursing

    The point is that this is a WebMD article that an RN is qualified to write. There's no need to attack it. Did she point out anything that's incorrect? No. If Dr. PP wants to complain about who is...

  11. Radonda Vaught Fatal Error Case Timeline

    BSNbound21 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Terrifying that someone with this little common sense can work as a nurse. "I thought it was odd that it was a powder." What?? I mean... insane. "I thought it was strange that I was firing a loaded...

  12. Where to go as a nurse if you dont want to work with patients at ALL?

    BSNbound21 replied to guest1074618's topic in General Nursing

    You definitely need to be a circulating OR nurse. You have to deal with them pre-op, but not for very long. If you want to be a scrub nurse instead, even less patient

  13. Difficult doc

    BSNbound21 replied to missourinurse2b's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "There is no written protocol" ought to shut him up real quick, along with a firm "also, I don't appreciate being spoken to this way." Does he pay you or make decisions on your employment status? No?...

  14. Openly criticizing a fellow nurse.

    BSNbound21 replied to hazyblue's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Control your emotions at work. It will save you a whole lot of trouble if you learn to do this ASAP. Everyone feels things and wants to vent, but its best to just not. Unless it's an HR matter, best...

  15. Question about prescriptions

    BSNbound21 replied to MarkMyWords's topic in General Nursing

    sure it's "alright," as long as the primary is okay being responsible for the prescription & any negative consequences of prescribing. how would you, I mean the patient, know ahead of time if they...

  16. RN fired from ICU and not offered transfer to another floor.

    BSNbound21 replied to HansRN's topic in General Nursing

    This screams silent hypoxia R/T Covid-19. Some people have shown no symptoms other than a crazy low O2 sat & pneumonia on CXR...

  17. Famous person as patient?

    BSNbound21 replied to MarkMyWords's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet and I served them in restaurants so I can throw out some names: Leo DiCaprio- nice, dressed like a homeless person b/c was filming The Revenant. Walked w/a slump and was so...

  18. Was Covid-19 Here Already?

    BSNbound21 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    Have any of you seen cases of suspected CV-19 before this current outbreak? I personally suspect that it went through my family earlier this year, and whenever I share this with others they too have...

  19. COVID-19 and extinction of human species

    BSNbound21 replied to DannyBoy8's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Death rate is too high but not high enough for this to be an extinction threat, IMO. Viruses that are this detrimental have a harder time spreading b/c their hosts are either unaffected (so they will...

  20. Am I a coward for going on FMLA due to COVID?

    BSNbound21 replied to ML1376's topic in Disaster Preparation

    With your health conditions, it is completely acceptable for you to not work b/c you have a much higher risk of dying from this than someone with a healthy respiratory system. You shouldn't be...

  21. Was Covid-19 Here Already?

    BSNbound21 replied to BSNbound21's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Exactly. On the one hand I suspect that my family has all had it. On the other hand, I understand that I could be terribly, terribly wrong, so I must behave as if we have not been exposed yet. It's a...

  22. Was Covid-19 Here Already?

    BSNbound21 replied to BSNbound21's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yikes. Another reason for my CV-19 theory is NYC. I think it must have been circulating there undetected for a long time (since for MOST people, it doesn't cause symptoms that require...

  23. Was Covid-19 Here Already?

    BSNbound21 replied to BSNbound21's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Rapid flu at pediatrician's office, for family practice I'm not sure what they used b/c I wasn't there. I think rapid b/c results were in same-day. How long is the wait for PCR results? Seems like...

  24. Was Covid-19 Here Already?

    BSNbound21 replied to BSNbound21's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My family was sick in February, and I agree that the stuff back in Nov/Dec is more unlikely. I am beginning to suspect that CV made its way here in January though. Thanks for your

  25. School Pretty Much Canceled Clinical

    BSNbound21 replied to Futurenurse7321's topic in General Students

    During my last clinical (before they were cancelled) myself and FOUR other nursing students donned full PPE to watch a wound debridement on a cdiff patient. CV was a thing at the time, and I felt...
