  1. Student loans

    HandsOffMySteth replied to stormymemphisORC's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You might be able to defer payments. Contact your loan provider to see if any options are feasible. I know that certain hardships allow for deferral.

  3. Did you know that doctors and nurses in some other countries are actually being attacked because of Coronavirus?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Naturally Brilliant's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ah, ignorance in all its glory! I was at the store today and some people were wearing masks. And yet at the same time they went down the aisles like a 747 causing a great turbulence in the air that no...

  4. Why is convalescent serum therapy being downplayed on the news?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Alnitak7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The news is doing everything they can to cause fear because that gets more views. Bunch of pathetic parasites they are, hherrn is spot on. Immunosuppressants seem to be working as well but god forbid...

  5. Need validation ASAP!

    HandsOffMySteth replied to yadda_yadda_yadda's topic in General Nursing

    Because you are the "new sheriff" why don't you make heads roll? If someone put me in that situation I would fix what is broken. Sounds to me the reason they hired you is to deal with this issue. I...

  6. Is the increased love for healthcare workers an irony that will fade away when things get better?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There is a sense of entitlement among today's people. For crying out loud, just look at all the people who work in fast food getting shot at because someone didn't like the service! There are times I...

  7. Am I overreacting?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to OUxPhys's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Staff are resources. The healthcare system is very diverse in the roles each department plays. In times of crisis they need to reconfigure those resources to meet the new demands. It isn't fair to ICU...

  8. Is the Covid-19 stay at home order reducing traffic deaths?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Alnitak7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Perhaps those cops are all watching only you! LOL just kidding.? I still never see them in my neck of the woods and wish they would swing by once in awhile to make their presence known. My neighbors...

  9. How can you be so calm?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Watching how people handle high stress tells you so much about their character. Sometimes the ones who crack are the ones who are supposed to be leaders and someone who was quiet and meek shows...

  10. WHO is dissing hot baths?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to RobbiRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    To the horror of the Japanese, some tourists get into their prized baths without first showering! ? I would also add that the Japanese eat far more vegetables and fish and much less fast food which...

  11. Is the Covid-19 stay at home order reducing traffic deaths?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Alnitak7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm sure the traffic fatalities will drop somewhat, but other types will go up. Perhaps injuries from household conflict and bored people getting into trouble. I have read some stories of Cali...

  12. COVID-19 and extinction of human species

    HandsOffMySteth replied to DannyBoy8's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Is it possible for CV19 to decimate humankind? Sure it is, if in the unlikely event of a mutation that turns it into something like

  13. Canada’s preparedness compared to USA

    HandsOffMySteth replied to meganvl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    To recap, I don't condone going in with no PPE whatsoever. To say "we don't have any N95 so just go with nothing" is criminally stupid at best. What I am saying is there are alternatives when in a...

  14. Troy University School of Nursing has released their students back to CLINICALS with NO PPE for COVID-19

    HandsOffMySteth replied to the VEGAN Professor's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That's just reckless of

  15. Canada’s preparedness compared to USA

    HandsOffMySteth replied to meganvl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Apparently some of these hospital administrative brainiacs don't know how to correspond with FEMA and would prefer to start a bidding war. They are going through the wrong channels. In the interim,...

  16. Acute COVID, What We're Seeing

    HandsOffMySteth replied to MunoRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I was right... https://www.vox.com/2020/3/12/21176783/coronavirus-covid-19-deaths-china-treatment-cytokine-storm-syndrome I remembered this from Microbiology. They should be able to find a solution to...

  17. Acute COVID, What We're Seeing

    HandsOffMySteth replied to MunoRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I wonder if this virus is a superantigen? That would explain why some people are asymptomatic and others have a bad

  18. Canada’s preparedness compared to USA

    HandsOffMySteth replied to meganvl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As a former soldier, I was willing to put my life on the line to save others. I still have the same motivation today. The situational shortage of PPE is a big problem as everyone knows but what is the...

  19. I don’t have kids

    HandsOffMySteth replied to GSDlvrRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Seems rather self centered of them. You have just as much a need not to be infected as anyone else. Regardless, it was in poor taste to talk that way around you. I sincerely hope that nurses who...

  20. Was Covid-19 Here Already?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to BSNbound21's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's very dangerous to make assumptions in respect to microbes. Better to play it

  21. COVID-19: "You're Just A Nurse"

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Mya K. Brewster's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Outspoken and ignorant at the same time, it's good to be multi-talented. This person has no clue what nurses need to learn in order to be

  22. Acute COVID, What We're Seeing

    HandsOffMySteth replied to MunoRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm not familiar with treatment options, would putting less severe patients on O2 be a gap fill? Short of bagging, I don't see an option for the lack of

  23. Pearson closes testing centers in US and Canada

  25. Thieves! Stealing Supplies During COVID-19 Crisis

    HandsOffMySteth replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You went back and edited you post after I had posted my response. My post was not edited at all. Frankly I find your rancor very distasteful. You need to calm
