    50% of fatalities in nursing homes in some States

    A Hit With The Ladies replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It might be harsh, but sometimes being harsh is flat-out necessary. If you equivocate and show weakness, people here in America will be eating out of your hands by getting you to go against your own...

    A Hit With The Ladies replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    America is a nation of individualists who prize their liberty like none other. The extended family model does not work in an industrialized nation like this one. We value our privacy and freedom too...

    Have you floated "to" or "from" your hospital's COVID-19 unit?

    A Hit With The Ladies replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I volunteered for being floated to my psych hospital's COVID unit, when a patient or two shows up there, but I never get sent there. Staffing plays favorites, I think, and the staff that get...

    A Hit With The Ladies replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I remember in nursing school our professors encouraged us to join professional nursing organizations like the ANA. Only when I became an actual nurse did I realize the ANA was a pro-corporate front...

    COVID-19 Deaths: Killed More Americans than the Vietnam War

    A Hit With The Ladies replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Vietnam War deaths were entirely avoidable and the casualties were overwhelmingly young men. The flu and other natural causes of death (read: Not humans' fault) overwhelmingly afflict those who are...

    COVID-19 Deaths: Killed More Americans than the Vietnam War

    A Hit With The Ladies replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Highly misleading, since the Vietnam War was a military conflict and this coronavirus is a natural pathogen. By that logic, the flu killed more American people in 2017 than the Vietnam War

    Saying that vents do not work is like saying the automatic external defibrillator (AED) does not work. It is only a device used when patients are in a critical condition. Guess which people...

    Which is exactly why I don't care much for their sanctimonious attitudes. The Surgeon General was saying a month ago we didn't need to wear masks. Apparently they just lied to the general public to...

    A Hit With The Ladies replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation
