   Getting Flack For Not Getting Covid Vaccine

   Marc Goodman replied to EDnurseAmen's topic in Disaster Preparation

   I wonder if part of the effect is not just level of education, but that many MDs consult on multiple units and have seen first hand the devastation covid-19 can bring. While I work on psychiatry...

   Four 12s in a row?!?! ??

   Marc Goodman replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

   I rarely even work 3 in a row. I find by the last 4 hours of day 3 any request from patients seems like a burden and I need to force a smile on my face. I then spend the next day off trying to peel...

   Is it reasonable for Nurses to be fired who "ran away" from work during the pandemic?

   Marc Goodman replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Disaster Preparation

   I seriously considered asking for an unpaid LOA when things started heating up. I knew I'd be able to afford it and I really debated if it was worth it to take the chance to continue working,...

   Marc Goodman replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

   My facility had previously allowed mask usage in lieu of influenza vaccination. It seemed to me widespread among many unit secretaries. What I also found widespread is masks being worn improperly...

   Marc Goodman replied to CalicoKitty's topic in Disaster Preparation

   I had a moderate case back in April here in NYC. I was very relieved during the 3 month window where we usually see circulating antibodies. That was also a time where numbers were way down in my...

   Can't get covid at work

   Marc Goodman replied to missmollie's topic in Disaster Preparation

   I got covid-19 at the same time as 7 of my coworkers and we had a covid-19 patient on the floor. Any suggestion that this wasn't work related would be ludicrous. I don't think my employer would ever...

   Covid Vaccine

   Marc Goodman replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

   What we do know is the short term effects of covid-19. Respiratory difficulty/failure, stroke, loss of smell/taste, death, etc. One of my co-workers still can't smell/taste anything. Her husband...

   Covid Vaccine

   Marc Goodman replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

   Agreed. For me, its time to get vaccinated and start to move on with life and not fear killing my parents if I see them. I've already had covid and likely have some immunity already. I figure if I...

    Experiencing racism and xenophobia when coming to CA to help with Covid

    Marc Goodman replied to xwill327's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm sorry you've had to endure this environment. I might recommend you look for assignments at magnet facilities in major cities. For those that believe that coming out at work is oversharing, I...

    First year nurse. Thinking about leaving field altogether.

    Marc Goodman replied to mhadvrn34's topic in General Nursing

    I am an experienced Psychiatric RN with over 10 years of experience, so I'd like to offer some thoughts. It sounds like it would be helpful to break some of your thoughts and member responses into...

    Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

    Marc Goodman replied to gcupid's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So, its interesting that many see requesting hazard pay as wanting a pat on the back or wanting compensation for what you "signed up for". One of our hospital clergy is in critical condition, I have...
