  2. NURSING IS A TOXIC CAREER!

    brandy1017 replied to QualityRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you 100% and I advise people to make the hospital a paid residency toward a better job! I also agree that hospital nursing is in many places an abusive relationship. I was certainly...

    brandy1017 replied to QualityRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes the mammograms will be free, but not surgery etc and until next year you could be billed for an out of network anesthesiologist and since all affordable care insurance is HMO there is no out of...

  4. How do you guys do it for so long?

    brandy1017 replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    I had a coworker on nights on step down who would sometimes fall asleep in her car before she could even walk into the house! Later she would wake up and go in her house and shower. She was older...

  5. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    brandy1017 replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It is actually from Australia and from Falun Gong Chinese who are totally opposed to communist China. I was looking for another article I had seen when the Florida Dr died and also when the CA...

  6. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    brandy1017 replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I was not aware of these political issues, but this is not the only news article to talk about patients admitted with thrombocytopenia or the Fl Dr's death. I see the vision times article brings...

  7. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    brandy1017 replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm adding one last article for the sake of any pregnant nurses who are deciding whether to get the vaccine. They can read it and make their own decision....

  8. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    brandy1017 replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I didn't realize speaking on the blog is tantamount to doing a research paper with APA format, adding all your sources because of skeptics. Of course they can't prove it 100%. How can they? Nor...

  9. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    brandy1017 replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

  11. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    brandy1017 replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    People have had clots, strokes, paralysis, thrombocytopenia, DIC and deaths. That is true! If you don't believe his explanation for the clot issues with the MRNA covid vaccines, what do you...

  12. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    brandy1017 replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Even if this is true, one can listen to his explanation of the clots. It makes sense to me and that younger people, especially women are at higher rates of adverse complications. You can check news...

  13. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    brandy1017 replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And strokes, don't forget about the strokes, and death from same. I watched a Youtube video from Dr Bhakdi in Europe, and he said this new MRNA gene therapy vaccine gets into the blood stream and...

  14. How do you guys do it for so long?

    brandy1017 replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    Since you're a peds nurse, I would suggest going the school nurse route. While not the highest paying, most school nurses are much happier than bedside; and if in a unionized state you may have...

    brandy1017 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think this is funny. I'm not a psych nurse, but am aware that part of working on a psych floor involves being able to take a patient down to the ground, specifically to keep them from hurting...

  18. Which patients are you most scared to take care of?

    brandy1017 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Sedation is for alcohol withdrawal so it is temporary and usually the patient is of sound mind after. Violent people are treated with haldol, ativan or seroquel to help calm them down. They are...

  19. Which patients are you most scared to take care of?

    brandy1017 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I feel part of the problem is that they don't transfer these patients to the ICU soon enough, where they can be on a precedex drip till they are over the DT's. But as you said, some patients have...

  20. Which patients are you most scared to take care of?

    brandy1017 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    brandy1017 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    We've been telling you to get a better job, but apparently you would prefer to work 16-20 hours a day salary and do the equivalent of 3 people's jobs! The only sane answer is to walk away and find a...

    brandy1017 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience therapy appointments were weekly for 30-45 minutes. Can't imagine 15 minutes! I would look elsewhere. But I also think you should talk to your Dr who could decide to order an...

    brandy1017 replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    One thing you didn't mention, that I didn't know myself, until seeing a drug add is patients with Parkinsons can experience hallucinations and delusions. I guess it makes sense since Haldol is used...
