  1. I Don't Care About Statistics

    Guest219794 replied to JBMmom's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You are right. Statistics taken out of context, or avoiding the broader view, are worse than useless. "Lies, damned lies, and statistics" is a phrase describing the persuasive power of numbers,...

  2. What would be better? Assistance or an Assistant?

    Guest219794 replied to Julie's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Now that much of my ER job is caring for boarded, admitted patients, much of what I do could be done by an unlicensed employee. But, I am transporting patients, cleaning rooms, bringing meal trays,...

  3. Vaccination Mandating

    Guest219794 replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yup. She's serious. Probably not about the actual embroidery. She knows that Trump is a man who would give up political capital for the greater good. Despite being booed by his base, if...

  4. Can you hold medications without a doctor's order?

    Guest219794 replied to Guest878640's topic in General Nursing

    I do this every day. Every day I give meds I believe should not be administered. But, I agree with the sentiment, and pick my

  5. Vaccination Mandating

    Guest219794 replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Now what? Now is when you, as a nurse, work even harder to educate people to get them

  6. Vaccination Mandating

    Guest219794 replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'll bite. Currently we are, for the most part, using our traditional approach, in which the sickest get the most resources. This works when there are sufficient resources. Even when this...

  7. Vaccination Mandating

    Guest219794 replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    When you say mandates aren't effective, what do you mean? Do you have access to data unavailable to public health experts? If so, you should release it immediately. They must be working with...

  8. I Don't Care About Statistics

    Guest219794 replied to JBMmom's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Nope. I am one of the folks often assigned the likely confrontational situations because of my ability to de-escalate. I am used as a role model in this regard. I also do not tolerate abuse, or...

  9. Not being paid anything for overtime hours worked during orientation. Is this legal?

    Guest219794 replied to GbabyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    If the education is required, then how is that not work? If I work in a factory making widgets, 9-5, and they tell me they are getting a new machine I have to train on on Saturday, would it be...

  10. What's your most ridiculous supply shortage?

    Guest219794 replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Common

  11. I Don't Care About Statistics

    Guest219794 replied to JBMmom's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Interesting. Honestly, that is the type of logic used to justify domestic violence. That man is under incredible stress at work, and then he comes home to to a dirty house? I am not saying that...

  12. Posting on Social Media

    Guest219794 replied to Kellyjustkelly's topic in General Nursing

    Sure, But, she accidentally threw them away. Accidentally. Between that discussion and this discussion, I imagine she'll try

  13. Can you hold medications without a doctor's order?

    Guest219794 replied to Guest878640's topic in General Nursing

    Short answer to your question is yes. But, your examples aren't great. Certain meds, like insulin, should have hold parameters. Otherwise, it's a bad order, and needs to be corrected. That...

  14. Posting on Social Media

    Guest219794 replied to Kellyjustkelly's topic in General Nursing

    I would go with a the following: Next time you print something, how about you get off your butt and take it off the printer, you printer hog. Next time you leave something on the printer, I'm...

  15. COVID Vaccine Safety

    Guest219794 replied to PPediRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    OP- what are your thoughts on the responses to your post? Would love to hear your

  16. I Don't Care About Statistics

    Guest219794 replied to JBMmom's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There are three kinds of people in this world: Those who understand numbers, and those who don't. Let's assume that that number is correct. If I offered your husband tickets to a football game,...

  17. IV Sedation Question

    Guest219794 replied to Kimmadsim's topic in General Nursing

    IME, Milk of Amnesia results in people saying "OK, I'm ready. Let's do this." about 3 minutes after we reduce their

  18. New Grad Stuck In Orientation In A Covid MICU. Help!

    Guest219794 replied to themurse's topic in General Nursing

    This is a terrible time to learn to be a nurse. Many face the same challenges. Your bosses are well aware that you are getting a bad orientation, and that you will need further training if this ever...

  19. COVID Vaccine Safety

    Guest219794 replied to PPediRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Where have you been? Most threads here get derailed in this direction, even if they don't start that way. Often, it is the poster's first post on Covid. Or first post period. Sometimes they...

  20. COVID Vaccine Safety

    Guest219794 replied to PPediRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Wondering what the thought process in posting this was. I am not even sure what the groupthink on this one would be. The document cited continues the expert consensus that vaccination is the way to...

    Guest219794 replied to PPediRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So- whats your thinking on

  22. Paying People To Do Meaningless Online ED

    Guest219794 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I agree 100%. I would do it a heartbeat, but it is, by definition, dishonest. Lazy is a bit more subjective, but I wouldn't argue the

  23. Religious Exemptions

    Guest219794 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am against religious exemptions. I give all deeply held beliefs equal credibility. My belief system may be informed by organized religion, but it is not defined by organized religion. And I...

  24. Paying People To Do Meaningless Online ED

    Guest219794 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Well- Assuming that the "training" is a pointless waste of time with absolutely no benefit, where is the breech in ethics? I don't believe that lying, is defacto, unethical. There are instances...

  25. Which Religions Exempt Covid Vaccinations?

    Guest219794 replied to Jordee's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Maybe a fraction of a percent of this country? If Christian scientists forbid it, I would give those folks a pass- they are willing to die for their actual beliefs. Anybody else who with that level...
