Walmart, Sam's Club , BJ's, and others to require all customers to wear masks effective 7/20/20

Nurse SMS replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

Have you ever had to burst a left over balloon from a patient at work?

Nurse SMS replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

I did. More than once. And I don't feel bad about it. What should I have done? I don't want it. Nobody wants it. The patients didn't even want
Dialysis nursing - what is the cringe about?

Nurse SMS replied to klance's topic in General Nursing

The only thing about dialysis nursing that makes me cringe is that it foregoes a lot of the flexibility to change what you do that is common in other areas of nursing. On the whole, once you are in...
Have you ever had to burst a left over balloon from a patient at work?

Nurse SMS replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

Sure, I have had patients leave balloons behind. I don't sit on them to burst them. I simply use a scissors at the base to make a small opening, let the air out and throw it in the trash. Of all the...

What is your minimum base pay on Covid-19 unit???

Nurse SMS replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

Never make the mistake that your pay somehow reflects the "value of your life", whether you are a nurse or anything else as a career. Pay reflects one thing and one thing only - the demand for...
Coronavirus Second Wave?

Nurse SMS replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

Pr Here's the thing. It's NOT inadequate protection. Evidence is telling us it is pretty good protection.....of EACH OTHER. Not of ourselves. It was never intended to protect US. It's to protect...

How Does This End?

Nurse SMS replied to MeganMN's topic in Disaster Preparation

Working on a Covid unit- should I see family?

Nurse SMS replied to scrubs521's topic in Disaster Preparation

I am in a surge area, not yet called up to the front line but am now on notice that I will be soon due to staff shortages. I go to work and I go home, that’s it. I definitely don’t go see my 76...
Texas Hospital making nurses resign or take care of COVID patients

Nurse SMS replied to Rex Sanchez's topic in Disaster Preparation

Walmart, Sam's Club , BJ's, and others to require all customers to wear masks effective 7/20/20

Nurse SMS replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

Target joined the wise ones yesterday too. These are private property, so my understanding is that you are indeed denied entrance. If you pitch a fit, someone is going to film you, like this sad soul...
ICU nursing in Texas during COVID

"I think I made a mistake" ... 30 y/o Dies after Attending COVID-19 Party

Nurse SMS replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

I think the difference is that Fauci has since explained his logic and, like the scientist he is, has changed his recommendations. Trump has NOT followed suit. I have said from the beginning that the...

Nurse SMS replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

Interview questions from future Nurse

How Does This End?

Nurse SMS replied to MeganMN's topic in Disaster Preparation

Then you admit it is NOT the system of checks and balances put in place. Why argue it is when you later admit it is not? I realize as a person of higher than average intelligence who has put a lot of...
