   LTC Advocate replied to JBMmom's topic in COVID

   Well thank you for saying so! I have to give the care aids credit as well. They are a gold pot of info when the residents start going "off" for lack of a better word! Use. I do not always have their no at my fingertips and do rely of assessments. Nev...

   May I take the time to give ICU nurses some well deserved praise. I look at all of you as earth angels. When I was in nursing school, I was having a very tough time and was seriously considering quitting. My mom who had COPD, went into respiratory fa...

   LTC Advocate replied to JBMmom's topic in COVID

   Thank you for that indepth education! I knew it wasn't the best option and should be used as last resort(intubation). In LTC when I made the decision for a sedative, I always evaluate what is best for the resident. If other intervention have fa...

   LTC Advocate replied to JBMmom's topic in COVID

   I am not an ICU nurse but does intubation sometimes cause a whole new set of potential problems? In LTC some staff are quick to admin or order sedatives for our residents. Sometimes this is the best option especially for the resident. However I do no...

   LTC Advocate replied to Ariemay82's topic in COVID

   Heh....QED? What does that mean? I can see you do not like the song and that is fine, you do not have to. I feel that QED is some sort of an insult, taking into account of the tone on the few of your post I have read. I apologize if this is not corre...

   LTC Advocate replied to nursej22's topic in Talk Politics

   Well I guess it comes down to due process. With the more left DOJ and Jan.6 committee, I do not think they will fail to hold Mr. Trump accountable if he is. I think they will fine tooth comb everything so hopefully they will not miss anything and ju...

8. Vaccination Mandating

   LTC Advocate replied to Ariemay82's topic in COVID

   It is hilarious! Am I terrible for thinking it has a sexual connotation? And thinking that makes it funnier? Rap music is very sexual at times ,the song could be satire but it could be promoting vaccine too! The lyrics are bad but some how brilliant?...

   I'm sorry but this is funny. Look at his facial expressions! I know why some won't appreciate this but I got a chuckle over it. We all agree the science is sound on the benefits of laughing!!

    Out of the source you linked,it says the following: " First, incitement to violence requires proof that the defendant intended to incite violence or riot (whether or not it actually occurs). Careless conduct or "emotionally charged rhetoric" doe...

12. January 6 Select Committee

    LTC Advocate replied to nursej22's topic in Talk Politics

    Again I have to disagree. I do not think Mr.Trump is a fascist nor the millions of people who voted for him. In good continous I can not assign that to my fellow Americans. I know many who did vote for him and they are not fascist. If this the way yo...

    Hopefully we will learn and hopefully we all can accept what we learn even if it's not what we want. I hope this committee learns why this happened , how and have ideas to prevent this type of violence and all political violence. We will see!
