  1. Difficulty with respiratory issues as a new grad?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Audacioustank's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if this was mentioned but document everything for your own protection. If that patient feels they were neglected and starts a complaint, that RT might try using YOU as the sacrificial...

  2. Charmin Commercials THE WORST!

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I see a lot of companies advertising how they are "fighting" this virus. Most of them are banks, however. Disingenuous me

  3. allnurses has Become so Politicized

    HandsOffMySteth replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I can't agree more. What I am seeing is a total intolerance for people who have a different opinion. Instead of a mature discussion it turns into insults and personal attacks such as "you are...

  4. Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

  5. Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is only a data set, not a study. I doubt you will ever see such a study because the point of such would be to prove racism is just, and we all know that is not valid. It does not make any claims...

  7. Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The topic is whether or not the protests are spreading the virus. The reason politics came into the picture is because it is apparently OK for one group to protest but not the other. Politics should...

  9. Is 6 times a day too many to visit a favorite patient who isn’t on your caseload?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I believe those patients assigned to you are your primary responsibility. That being said, nursing is about relieving suffering and no one should die alone. Also this patient is without family. I...

  11. Does prestige of program matter?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to ad2020's topic in General Students

    For the most part it won't make a hill of beans difference to the place of employment as long as you went to an accredited school. That being said a prestige school will give you a much higher...

  12. Nurses Disciplined, Fired for Wearing Hospital-Issued Scrubs

    HandsOffMySteth replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Color coding is not for the patients, it's for the staff. When in a big hospital you can tell who's who

  13. Does prestige of program matter?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to ad2020's topic in General Students

    Per the TOS we cannot single out a school or program and tell you about how bad they are. If you go to a prestige or ivy you can wear a nice sweatshirt and have a nice degree on your wall, but that is...

  14. Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

  15. First ever termination

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Christi's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Just a super toxic environment, be glad to be out. If it's of any consolation, that new DON will most likely be losing her job soon. There seems to be a pattern here. A high turn around rate...

  16. Light Weight Lab Coat?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Tait's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You might try one of the shorter ones that student doctors often

  17. Are there any specific questions you could ask to seperate registered nurses from impersonators?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Whistler8612's topic in General Nursing

    I hope that person is not here on Allnurses because per the TOS we are not allowed to give medical advice, nor can anyone put credentials beside their name that they did not earn. I suspect there are...

  19. Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And everyone was all up in arms because Trump was encouraging the lockdown protests over concern of spreading the virus while politicians are encouraging this protest. Just shows the hypocrisy. Places...

  21. Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I would also add to that that there were nurses who were crying and refused to go to work over this virus just a short time ago and now there are nurses who went to the protest? I hope they aren't...

  23. The culture of silence and police brutality

    HandsOffMySteth replied to rebeccaUTA's topic in General Nursing

  25. Obesity a huge factor

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I wonder if there are any cohort studies that compile all factors such as allergies, history, and condition at TOD. As you are aware, there is a link between high BP and obesity. And high BP...
