1. Should hospitals inform patients and family that COVID positives nurses and staff may be working on a unit?

   MT Fun_Dips replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

   I'm a bit late to reply but seeing how this is a lab related question, I thought I'd throw my two cents in. While the ELISA based antigen and PCR based covid test are both very accurate, only the...

2. But what if I just don't LIKE it?

   MT Fun_Dips replied to katygw's topic in Medical-Surgical

   While I'll admit that my 80% statement is a bit harsh, I still stand by it from my experience to this date, especially with all the covid influxes. But to clarify I said, "80% of you...

   MT Fun_Dips replied to katygw's topic in Medical-Surgical

   Thank you for your belittling reply. It embodies the very reasons I made the post in the first place. To reiterate, I'm not a phlebotomist, I'm an MT, and the reason I know the PICC pulled fine...

   MT Fun_Dips replied to Jenna Arsenault's topic in Disaster Preparation

   Fear mongering people who have chosen not to get the vaccine isn't going to help, it's just going to get people to hate you. The government has been using fear and strong arm tactics to force the...

   Was the contact a condition of a sign on bonus? If so, you may be able to get out of it, although at the cost of forfeiting the bonus. Regardless, quitting so soon will not look good on your...

7. I hate my Med surg position

   MT Fun_Dips replied to futrnursenickii's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I would look into working at a rural hospital (trama 3+). They tend to be more lenient when it comes to lack of experience. At mine, due to staffing shortages (thanks covid), they've accepted multiple...

   MT Fun_Dips replied to futrnursenickii's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Don't make patients suffer due to your poor attitude. They pay good money to be there and if you hate it to the point where you can't stand it, I guarantee that it's having an affect on the patient's...

9. But what if I just don't LIKE it?

   MT Fun_Dips replied to katygw's topic in Medical-Surgical

   Being a lab Tech at a rural hospital, I found this topic eye opening to see medsurg from a nurse's perspective. I hate medsurg as well, but mainly because of the nurses instead of the patients;...
