  1. Is the nursing environment hostile?

    It's different everywhere, some places are very toxic work environments and others are fantastic. You might get along with 99% of everyone on the ward except your boss. It's really no different than any other profession in that regard. When in an o...
  2. How Does This End?

    They will wear a mask (incorrectly) ,go into the store and pay with the grungy keypad/card scanner and think they are safe! They don't social distance, wash their hands frequently, or not touch things they don't need to. The virus is not bad in my ...
  3. Transgender nurses?

    The most common definition of trend is something that is increasing in frequency(as in statistics). Of course trend can also mean a fad as you pointed out. So yeah, I can see that. Perhaps a poor choice of words but essentially true using the most co...
  4. Jobs With DUI

    Well if the BON did not take your license that is a good sign. Another good thing is the amount of time elapsed and the fact that you went through treatment. If you get an interview it will probably come up. You should be honest and admit it was a ...
  5. Transgender nurses?

    I don't view it as condescending. I don't think Emergent meant it that way. It is a trend ,however. https://www.gminsights.com/industry-analysis/sex-reassignment-surgery-market Nothing wrong with that.
  6. Perhaps they used OTC. https://www.everydayhealth.com/diabetes/otc-insulin-what-know-before-you-buy/#:~:text=OTC insulin is also called synthetic human insulin.,of NPH and regular called 70-30%2C says Trujillo. I was looking into reasons professional...
  7. How Does This End?

    And did all those "developing countries" have massive riots and protests. Did they have a bunch of morons that went to the beach and Disneyland? Do their populations compare to the United States? So how well was it contained in Brazil, Russia, or ...
  8. How Does This End?

    Even if masks are not 100% they are better than nothing. I would be remiss if I was asymptomatic and killed an elderly person because I chose not to wear one. It is obvious we cannot stay in lockdown forever and need to take all precautions that a...
  9. @herring_RN Of course, I too believe that we should wear masks. The reason I posted those stories is to show that Dr. Fouci has changed his advice from time to time. There are biased news sources all over the place, and many of them end up redacting ...
  10. Is there ANY evidence that these stories are not true? I think you are just avoiding the facts to deflect because it does not meet your tiny view of reality. Why? because Dr. Fouci is perfect and can see far into the future right? It's a laugh that ...

  14. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McCain_lobbyist_controversy I think they had to redact due to liability, it is true however.
  15. Is applying to 2 jobs at the same hospital ok?

    I can only imagine they would be upset if the hospital was a toxic work place to begin with. It never hurts to increase your odds. Good luck.?
  16. Is anyone else holy crap concerned?

    The important thing is that all viable research continues until there is a resolution. There were many prior studies by the Chinese that showed promise but many of those were lacking a control group or given in combination with other drugs and thus w...
  17. Hospital requiring personal cell phones for patient care

    Besides being a HIPAA issue, they should then pay for your phone and service if they choose that course of action. https://www.ispartnersllc.com/blog/HIPAA-compliance-cell-phones/
  18. Early Results Show COVID-19 Vaccine Generates Immune Response

    Lets keep our fingers crossed. ?
  19. How bad will it get in the fall/Winter time?

    https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04405076?term=NCT04405076&draw=2&rank=1 Phase 2 (current) has 600 participants enrolled.
  20. No Scott Toilet Paper?

    Might help to look at when this thread was posted. There was a shortage back then.?
  21. Now this....the crazy just keeps getting crazier

    Did you even read the PDF? "On March 29, 2020, Vice President Pence sent a letter to hospital administrators across the country requesting daily data reports on testing, capacity and utilization, and patient flows to facilitate the public health resp...
  22. Now this....the crazy just keeps getting crazier

    How do you know the CDC will be deprived of the data? I think the reason for the change is what is important. Most likely CDC does not have the resources that HHS has. The PDF states that it is to streamline access and prevent duplication.
  23. Coronavirus Second Wave?

    1.) That first post was a month ago when we knew much less than we do now ,and was speculative in nature. 2.) Your petty insults are indicative of a shallow mind. 3.) Those "alleged clinicians" are more qualified than you in this subject and it was ...
  24. Now this....the crazy just keeps getting crazier

    The data is being sent to HHS, not some "secret" Trump facility.
