    Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    SmilingBluEyes replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Is it impossible? Well I dunno, a broken femur makes it hard. Right now, there are no accommodations for miles and miles. How far will you travel with a broken leg? How will you feel? He will have to...

    Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    SmilingBluEyes replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    SmilingBluEyes replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am not blaming the true victim. You know, the one who got his vaccine and is not taking up a bed in the hospital. The guy who may lose functioning of his leg. That one. And I would rather not...

    Covid and Hospitals: How are things now?

    SmilingBluEyes replied to CrunchRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That's over 100k beds nationally, and 1700 ER bays in Texas NOT available for others who need them just as much. This infuriates me. This disease is a

    SmilingBluEyes replied to Jedrnurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No if they cared, really cared, they would want their staff vaccinated. Most vets are quite elderly and very vulnerable. If my gramps were in such a facility I would have big issues with unvaxxed...

    Questions about getting fired?

    SmilingBluEyes replied to pecantreechipmunk's topic in General Nursing

    I would NEVER work without malpractice insurance. The idea of losing everything I own and having every paycheck (if I am allowed to work) garnished is too much to take. That and I cannot afford a...

    SmilingBluEyes replied to Glam03's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Just curious. Has anyone heard of the ABO grouping and reaction to COVID vaccines? I have read (someplace, have to look for it) that O type people are having a less severe reaction to both vaccine and...
