Acute Dialysis

Been in nursing for 11years. Medical ICU was my niche. Acute dialysis is my niche. Travel nursing is my jam.

  1. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I believe you don't intend to demonize people in good faith. But you have to understand, your side IS doing it. By aligning yourself with the dismissal narrative, rather than taking a middle ground...

  2. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I half disagree with you. The following study says two things to me. 1) disease induced immunity is effective at least 1 year after infection regardless (I repeat, REGARDLESS) of subsequent...

  3. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That's great. I hope you can also accept that as long as the "sure of yourselves" side of this debate continues to demonize legitimate concerns, nobody from the hesitant side will listen to your...

  4. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    But can you understand their point of view? The message is all over the place. "Wear a mask! Don't wear a mask! Wear two masks alone in the woods!!" People are being told "get vaxxed or get out!" in...

  5. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes people are. People hear about reports of hyper coagulation, bells palsy, etc and they are concerned that they might get that reaction. You don't care about that. But others do and when they...

  6. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    One of the biggest gripes with these vaccines is how it was rushed out the door. "Years of research" =\= "operation warpspeed". A Texas senate hearing with many practicing drs from various fields...

  7. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The longer all concerns are blindly dismissed, the longer people will avoid getting the vaccine. Dismissal invites

  8. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree. Not to mention the blind trust given to government agencies demanding universal drug administration regardless of the individual's unique situation. That is never a good idea. It is alarming....

  9. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    WRONG! Natural immunity is a thing. The fact breakthrough cases exist is a thing. The point of a vaccine is to replicate what happens when you get infected without getting infected. To dismiss natural...

  10. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yet you refuse to answer. If you have antibodies and have recovered from covid, do you need the vaccine? Yes or

  11. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I respect your position. I understand what the manufacturers claim about their products. I get it and I'm not against vaccination in general (just got my tdap booster a week ago). I respect your...

  12. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That is incredibly insulting to black people who have good personal reason to say no. You do realize that correct? It's interesting to me how sure of yourself you are. Like you can't be wrong about...

  13. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Who are you arguing with? Fact is, this is what people are hearing and issues like what I listed are reasons who those who refuse the vaccine are doing so. Not all are good reasons. Reasonable black...

  14. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    In what world is a mandate the same thing as a choice? That's like the government calling taxes "voluntary." You can't be serious. 2, you talk about "long term" data on injury. How do you know the...

  15. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Many people are afraid of these reports and they say to themselves "this is real risk, but for what?" And then they hear CDC reports about hundreds of breakthrough in fully vaxxed, statements that it...

  16. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm illustrating what can happen when mandates are involved. You called it a choice. It is not a choice by definition. It is a mandate. When mandates happen, things like I described tend to happen. It...

  17. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    "Long term harm?" What does long term mean in this context? I could give you reports from CDC about carditis, anaphylaxis, sensory loss, hyper coagulation, bells palsy, I mean, I thought we'd all...

  18. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And what would you say to someone who has been harmed by a vaccine (this does happen), but they are told to take a second dose or be fired? Is it still a choice at that point? It's not called a...

  19. Syringe Disaster

    10GaugeNeedles replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Seems weird that the surgical team is anticoagulating with sub q heparin (not exactly an acute treatment). Yeah you should have done your stuff, documented accurately, and directed the pre op nurse to...

  20. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    10GaugeNeedles replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    1st: those who choose not to get vaccined have every right to. But employers also have the right to not employ them. The government however does not engender trust by mandating a prophylactic (let me...

  21. LPN scope of practice in hemodialysis

    10GaugeNeedles replied to RN UNDER DOG's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    No state I've ever worked has included assessments as an LPN scope of practice in any specialty. Regardless of skill or ability, SOP is usually defined by what the board tests encompass which means...

  22. Breakthrough

    10GaugeNeedles replied to Cisum's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Well, I don't know what the current job market is in hawaii but, seems pretty easy to find out. Seems like you aren't moving strictly for nursing (navy spouse? ?). If that's the case, just move and...

  23. Dialysis with 3 months RN experience

    10GaugeNeedles replied to peachshan's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I've worked for DaVita Acutes for 4 years. They need people. They are big enough company to have no memory. If you are willing to work very very long hours, do nothing stupid, and are a team player...

  24. Seriously, stop making this job harder! For yourself and everyone around you.

    10GaugeNeedles replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    This post touched a nerve. My first ICU it felt like everyone was backstabbing. The manager, the CC, about 60-70% of the nurses, I was constantly on edge, shaking, terrified of getting fired for a...

  25. Nurse Beaten by Patient Denied Request for Unpaid Time Off and Fired

    10GaugeNeedles replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    I completely agree with you. She should have gotten full base pay till cleared. But the article is skating to the sidelines. They blame the collective bargaining law, not the agency policies. If the...
