  1. False positive EKG

    FlyingScot replied to FazzDazzle's topic in Cardiac

    Especially after receiving a

  2. Recent DX of Cervical radiculopathy. Workmans comp?

    FlyingScot replied to babblingbrook's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry for your trouble. I too suffer from cervical radiculopathy. It truly sucks. That being said, workers comp can only be filed for an injury related to work not for work-related aggravation of...

  3. Ebola Nursing Survey: to Quarantine or Not to Quarantine

    FlyingScot replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Just wanted to point out that I was the first person to answer your question and I did it without ridicule. I'm sorry that other posters were less

  4. Ebola Nursing Survey: to Quarantine or Not to Quarantine

    FlyingScot replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Welcome to the discussion!! It would probably be helpful for you to read the many articles about how quarantine is not the answer. Yes, symptoms can develop in the 21 day period but the patient is...

  5. Ebola Nursing Survey: to Quarantine or Not to Quarantine

    FlyingScot replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I would hope the idea of catching Ebola from tree-licking behavior would be so preposterous nobody would take it seriously but judging from what I'm reading here you are absolutely right.

  6. Ebola Nursing Survey: to Quarantine or Not to Quarantine

    FlyingScot replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes it is because that is not how the disease

  7. Ebola Nursing Survey: to Quarantine or Not to Quarantine

    FlyingScot replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I hope you know that I was taking a jab at the people who think she should be shut up in her house, have her license removed and possibly be burned at the

  8. Ebola Nursing Survey: to Quarantine or Not to Quarantine

    FlyingScot replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Unless, of course, she actually IS licking

  9. Ebola Nursing Survey: to Quarantine or Not to Quarantine

    FlyingScot replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Please explain how she is putting a population at risk. She is not infectious. She does not have Ebola. She is monitoring her temperature and last I heard she hasn't gone to any public places (unless...

  10. Ebola Nursing Survey: to Quarantine or Not to Quarantine

    FlyingScot replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And while we're at it why don't we quarantine any person who has contact with someone infected with influenza including the nurses and others who take care of them. Especially given the fact that they...

  11. ICU pay differential?

    FlyingScot replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Critical Care

    They really don't have to pay extra to lure people into the job. Never mind the fact that I had to list my clergy of choice on a special form to use in case I smacked into the earth from 2000

  12. ICU pay differential?

    FlyingScot replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Critical Care

    I was a flight nurse and didn't get any extra

  13. ER nurses not calling report anymore...

    FlyingScot replied to plinytheRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm waving the BS flag. You don't really know this for a fact. We had the same problem and it was bed placement and the physicians that were holding things up. Believe me there's nothing an ED nurse...

  14. Ebola - do you have the right to walk away?

    FlyingScot replied to rnnina19's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Except now they are considering that the virus can live for up to 6 hours on surfaces. Kind of kills your idea that it needs to be in body fluid to remain alive doesn't

  15. Media a bit too invasive of nurse's personal info following her catching Ebola?

    FlyingScot replied to Blue Roses's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Because she didn't lie to the authorities. Because she didn't selfishly risk other human being's lives. Because she stepped up and took care of a man that did. For this she is villified and blamed. No...

  16. Miss Manners for Nurses

    FlyingScot replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wouldn't worry too much about it. Us Scots are pretty much aware of how unappealing Haggis is and I think serve it for the shock value. That being said a tiny bite wouldn't be so bad. You might even...

  17. Nursing Student Ethical Dilemna

    FlyingScot replied to cbs701's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I have baptized many, many dead or dying children but not once EVER would I have considered doing it without an explicit request from the parents. I always asked, if the circumstances arose, if there...

  20. BSN Only? Give me a break!!

    FlyingScot replied to michaelvgrigsby's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Sage advice but I'd take it further. If this trend continues better to get your Masters or face being in the same situation again in a very short

  21. Mocked by teacher in post conference.

    FlyingScot replied to dmena14's topic in General Students

    Glad none of us are going to have to be her preceptor.

  22. Best Burn Centers in US??

    FlyingScot replied to guest454229's topic in Burn

    No they aren't!! Akron Children's is a well-known, we'll-respected large regional burn center that takes both adults and children. Their burn unit, which includes a burn triage room ( mini ED really)...

  23. Ohio Health and OSU

    FlyingScot replied to OUxPhys's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Noooooo. Pretty sure nobody wants to identify where they work. Not a smart thing to do on the internet much less a public

  24. Nurses being forced to go back to school

    FlyingScot replied to hrtnsoul's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm curious to know why people don't seem to think that a nurse with an ADN or a diploma is capable of reading research studies and correctly extrapolating from them the information needed to apply...

  25. Nurses being forced to go back to school

    FlyingScot replied to hrtnsoul's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I don't think this is the appropriate thread to opine about the flu vaccine. There are plenty of threads available for you to do this. This topic is too important to be
