    COVID Misinformation/Ignorance

    SansNom replied to GS ED RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I get so frustrated with this simple minded, misguided point of view. Anyone who believes this must have never paid any attention to science before. We don't have 100% certainty about ANYTHING....

    COVID Misinformation/Ignorance

    SansNom replied to GS ED RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What I heard early on is that the spike proteins that the mRNA in the vaccine makes your body produce closely resembles syncytin-1, which is a protein that plays an important role in placental...

    Doc Won't See Me Because I Treat Covid Patients

    SansNom replied to bitter_betsy's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'll throw in my 2 cents here and agree with everyone who's recommending you don't mention what you do unless necessary. I avoid telling people I'm a nurse these days unless I absolutely need to. As...

    Covid and Hospitals: How are things now?

    SansNom replied to CrunchRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Currently over 3/4 of all of our ICUs are covid units. "Clean" patients are taking up one half of our surgical ICU (with a temporary wall splitting the unit) and then overflowing into the PACU and...

    Got The Vaccine! Share Your Experience

    SansNom replied to Nurse SMS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thought I'd contribute to the thread since I got my second Pfizer shot 2-3 days ago. My arm was less sore than the first injection, but I suspect that was more due to injection site than the...

    Is it normal for nurses to enjoy hunting??

    SansNom replied to Chando's topic in Men in Nursing

    One thing I realized very quickly as I went into the nursing world is that there is no average nurse. Of course there are nurses who love to hunt and fish! and others who play in bands. or rock...

    Covid Vaccine

    SansNom replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Although I don't agree with all of your rationale, I appreciate your thought out reasoning and explanation. I can respect this kind of thinking, it's the gullible conspiracy-swallowing morons I have...

    Covid Vaccine

    SansNom replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yeah, I didn't get anything at all of that nature, and I'm assuming none of my coworkers did

    Got The Vaccine! Share Your Experience

    SansNom replied to Nurse SMS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's never happened to me but that's what I was thinking. Sounds like a nerve. Just seems highly unlikely it was the vaccine itself that would cause that kind of sensation. I think some nurses doing...

    Covid Vaccine

    SansNom replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Good point, but also don't you have to actually register for it? I haven't gotten any text about v-safe. It would seem that if this were something they were relying much on then it would have more...

    What do you work in the float pool?

    SansNom replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Once you've been float pool for a few months and are familiar with all the units you work and they with you, it becomes pretty easy. Some nurses will give you shade because everyone knows we make more...

    Got The Vaccine! Share Your Experience

    SansNom replied to Nurse SMS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I've taken my time reading as much as I could and trying to understand the vaccine as thoroughly as possible (without going back to school for a few years) and decided to get mine today. Went to the...

    Covid Vaccine

    SansNom replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is definitely a concerning statistic. My only question regarding this V-safe source in your link is that it's a "smartphone-based tool that uses text messaging and web surveys to provide...

    Covid Vaccine

    SansNom replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Jack, in case you weren't aware, the poster you quoted actually included a source for their info, not spouting misunderstood statistics and quoting what seem to be FB memes. I haven't checked their...

    Will a vaccine actually solve the problem?

    SansNom posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    There have been an increasing number of cases around the world of people being reinfected with covid, I even know of 2 myself personally. It seems generally accepted that once you've had it, you have...

    Covid Vaccine

    SansNom replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I thought you were just trolling, but I think you're just not very good at deciphering information and statistics. Also, yet again, you're failing to mention any sources. Your last post seems to have...

    Could masks be another vector?

    SansNom replied to guest584920's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I suspected this early on, but now it's quite clear that Jack is purely trolling. Threatening you, Jack? haha. Come on

    Could masks be another vector?

    SansNom replied to guest584920's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Jack, come on already, just provide some evidence to back up your opinion. It's just funny to me that you sit here and communicate on a device developed by similar scientific methods as the ones we...

    Covid Vaccine

    SansNom replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'll admit, I passed on the first round of the vaccines at my hospital when they recently asked who wanted to get it, but it is precisely because I DO trust the science.......and understand that...

    Could masks be another vector?

    SansNom replied to guest584920's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ah, the good old victim card. This has NOTHING to do with free speech. You can ramble on about a spaghetti monster that lives on the dark side of the moon for all I care, but I'm still going to call...

    good point. I don't often bother looking into that.

    Could masks be another vector?

    SansNom replied to guest584920's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As for masks being 100% effective.......of course they're not! So what? While that would be nice, that's not the point at all. It's just to help mitigate the spread so we can get back to some...

    Could masks be another vector?

    SansNom replied to guest584920's topic in Disaster Preparation

    How many peer reviewed studies have you seen removed by someone other than the author? (not talking about FB and IG posts, actual studies on respected sites). Do you really believe the nation has...

    Covid Vaccines

    SansNom posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    Interesting bit of information I read about the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.......they will be the first mRNA vaccines to ever be approved by the FDA. So basically, a novel vaccine for a novel virus....
