    Are Big City Hospitals Really Getting Hit With COVID-19 Pts?

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

    I wonder what'll happen in Michigan when there were mass protests in public against the quarantine there yesterday. Do you guys think it'll get worse there because of the

    How has the Coronavirus affected your Summer clinicals plans for NP school?

    A Hit With The Ladies posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm in an NP program and I'm supposed to be doing clinical rotations for two classes this Summer. 64 clinical hours each! My program director finally emailed me today saying "At this time, there are...

    Nursing Homes. The bodies are just pilling up.

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

    Who determines what their time is? The cold, hard truth is that we live in a world of finite resources, and the 95 year-old who isn't going to survive being intubated even if there were no Coronavirus...

    Nursing Homes. The bodies are just pilling up.

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

    I hate to say this, but isn't the point of a nursing home to store very old people until they die anyway?

    Hospital Terminating RNs for Travel Nursing

    A Hit With The Ladies replied to traumaqueen1993's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I've heard it's worst in Florida than nearly anywhere else for nurses. I've heard horror stories about how big for-profits like HCA and other systems staff, and unlike states like Texas and California...

    Hospital Terminating RNs for Travel Nursing

    A Hit With The Ladies replied to traumaqueen1993's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Federal law protects you from joining a union and organizing. The National Nurses United (NNU) is one of the largest and most powerful, but doesn't have a presence in my area. I joined TSEU because...

    Hospital Terminating RNs for Travel Nursing

    A Hit With The Ladies replied to traumaqueen1993's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm actually a union member (TSEU) in Houston. It's a state hospital system so I don't have to work about retaliation or anything like that. Union culture unfortunately isn't that big (yet) here in...

    Hospital Terminating RNs for Travel Nursing

    A Hit With The Ladies replied to traumaqueen1993's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ah, so it's the classic "carrots and sticks" approach, but since they can't afford to pay you with carrots (I.e., pay raises and hazard pay), they have turned to sticks (I.e., threat of immediate...

    Nursing Is No Longer Worth It

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

    Have you considered treating those healthcare organizations as expendable as well? We live in a capitalist country where everyone's worth and value is determined by their market value they provide for...

    Dealing with panicking co-workers

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

    More than 90% of nurses in the U.S. are women. You're not working with firefighters or a construction crew. Women worry. You're doing the right thing by staying calm and being vigilant while...

    How to balance out working heavy hours and having a relationship?

    A Hit With The Ladies replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    That's not even a 'nursing' thing. You could apply that to any job or profession instead. It's a good idea to have these conversations early on in the relationship, or while dating, on what sort of...

    Hesitation to become a nurse student

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

    I did my nursing degree because my B.A. in history was completely useless when I graduated in the tail end of the Great Recession. You ought to complete your

    Will it be hard for me to get a Girlfriend during this Pandemic since I am dealing with sick people?

    A Hit With The Ladies replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You're twenty-two. Relax. By next year I doubt most women your age will even remember much more about Coronavirus than having to stay at home for two months. They won't
