Good question, and I am surprised the the "emergency trained nurse practitioner" doesn't know the answer. If you check out the description of the video on YouTube there are other intersting tells. Anyway, there are several articles on the subject. Here is one: Rawas-Qalaji, Mutasem et al. (2009). Long-term stability of epinephrine dispensed in unsealed syringes for the first-aid treatment of anaphylaxis. Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, 102, (6), 500 - 503

This "advice" is dangerous. I understand this is a site for medical professionals, but putting this out on you tube is negligent.

Have you seen the original Brian De Palma Carrie? If not, you should. As healthcare professionals we are the first line of defense against abusive parents who do not tell their children these things. It is absolutely our responsibility to advocate for them. Their parents are not doing their job, or are deliberately keeping their children ignorant. They gave up their rights when they neglected their responsibility as parents.

Always bring your member.

Sorry you are incorrect. The organizers of the rally are promoting two bills, S.864 and HR 1602. They specify numerical minimum ratios by unit. (b)Minimum direct care registered nurse-to-Patient ratios (1)In general Except as otherwise provided in this section, a hospital's staffing plan shall provide that, at all times during each shift within a unit of the hospital, a direct care registered nurse shall be assigned to not more than the following number of patients in that unit, subject to paragraph (4): (A)One patient in trauma emergency units. (B)One patient in operating room units, provided that a minimum of 1 additional person serves as a scrub assistant in such unit. ©Two patients in critical care units, including neonatal intensive care units, emergency critical care and intensive care units, labor and delivery units, coronary care units, acute respiratory care units, postanesthesia units, and burn units. (D)Three patients in emergency room units, stepdown units, pediatrics units, telemetry units, antepartum units, and combined labor, delivery, and postpartum units. (E)Four patients in medical-surgical units, intermediate care nursery units, psychiatric units, and other specialty care units. (F)Five patients in rehabilitation units, and skilled nursing units. (G) Six patients in well-baby nursery units and postpartum (3 couplets) units.

Neurogenic bladder is related to neurological injury, not foley insertion. Was this from a textbook or an idiot nursing instructor?

It's antiintellectuallism. Nurses are supposed to be good little worker bees who do what they're told and don't think. Thinking people rock the boat.

FYI that ring on your finger ain't no chain. Slavery is outlawed in this country. He can support his own self

I am a nurse, I have a medical education, and it is far superior to a Google search. The writer is so keen to get bent out of shape and offended the didn't even stop to think who the statement is aimed at -namely vapid internet celebrities and former nude models who spread misinformation and pseudoscience that is killing our patients. It's not about egos, it's about people who are dying because of charlatans and snake oil. It's about kids with autism being horrifically abused to "cure" their "parasites." I think the writer is suffering from a form of confirmation bias- they only see what what want to see. This as just as dangerous for the professional as it is for the layperson. Curious when the writer last took care of patients. I have had CHF patients in the ICU who do not take their medication, instead using essential oil. i have had family of patients in the ICU want to use homeopathy instead of medication. I have seen people who refused their vaccines die. I have seen tetorifice. Get back to the bedside and tell me that a Google search is worth my masters degree.

This is utter horsepucky And you know it.

Have you also noticed this $#!T getting worse? Blows my Daemon mind. I'm from Southern California. When the KKK have a rally here, we put them in the hospital. That being said I live in a rural area with real honest-to-god peckerwoods and aryan nations. The N-word is pretty common and I still slip up and use it. I was raised by ignorant fools. What is amazing to me is how people are so blind to this issue, even to the point of thinking whites can be racist. News flash - racism means oppression. White people are not now nor have they ever been oppressed. The amount of blatant white privilege displayed in these comments truly stuns me. We are supposed to be educated people who took sociology. I just think that something needs to give. We need another Malcolm X. It's been too long for stupid white people to get all bent out of shape defending this atrocious behavior, minimizing this, talking about how the rebel rag is "culture" I at least admit I am racist and privileged and that I need to fight this institutionalized hate. My daughter is better than me about it but this stuff was supposed to be over a generation ago. I am just flabbergasted. Such a long way to go.

You, ma'am, are racist

These are the most insane comments I have ever read on this site. What the OP is experiencing is illegal and should not be tolerated. Filing a charge with the EEOC is free and easy. Obtaining a lawyer costs more but it will be worth it when you don't have to work ever again and can send all your children to private universities while luxuriating in your custom built house. I cannot believe nobody has suggested that you file an EEOC complaint at the very least. If I were you I would have the jobs of every single person in leadership at the facility. I would also make sure they never worked again.

It is racist, traitorous and unacceptable to fly the confederate flag.
