Goodness. If everyone thought like me, would this pandemic still be dragging out? Or would it just be more fully vaccinated patients that are covid positive with one of the many newer variants of covid? Then who could we blame?

Uh, this is an open discussion. To discuss our opinions and views. I have stated I'm happy that the vaccine is available for those who want it. If you want it great, if you don't want it fine, but it should be everyone's choice. But don't look down on my opinion or views, just because they're different than yours. I've never looked down on anyone's choice to be vaccinated, or not. I see everyone else expressing their opinions for why people should or should not be vaccinated. Everyone has a thing called free will. Also my daughter is fully vaccinated. And you know what, that was her decision, I didn't look down on her. In fact, I drove her to get her vaccinations. I'm proud, that she did her research and made a decision she was comfortable with. The majority of my family is vaccinated, I'm glad they had the choice. So no sir I'm not discouraging those who want to be vaccinated. It's just sick that if you don't agree with the majority you're classified as ignorant, poor, paranoid or reckless.

I work ED, we're also a small unit. We have 2 currently out cause they have covid. But most of the staff git covid during the first wave last Summer and in the fall. It's a frustrating time at every job. Healthcare is unstaffed. Those who worked from home for over a year are informed they have to come back to the office, a majority don't cause it's been peaceful working at home. Those we lost their job during covid found other ways to make money, so they're not returning to those jobs. The world is stressed, we just have to try and have patience in we’re out and about, yes it will take a long time to get food, somethings are out in the stores, but screaming at worker and belittling them will not make anything better. If anything this last year taught me is life is to short.

All these things are already laws. But I guess we can throw in States that say abortions illegal, under falsehood it's not what God would want. Even though we're to keep church and state separate.

Sounds like you are frustrated, overworked, and unstaffed, like every healthcare system. But it's not getting better, cause these mandates jab or no job, are making more people leave than stay. Cause everyone is tried, and frustrated so this do or else that most hospitals are doing, it's not making staff get the jab, most are walking away and finding employment somewhere else.

My paranoia and fears, is history. You don't have to agree with me but don't attempt to make my opinions sound crazy. Everything I stated is true. We usually have the right to refuse treatment if we don't agree with it, that's a fact. Vaccines are trailed longer than a year, that's a fact. Everything medication has different effects on everyone, that's a fact. We don't know long term side effects cause its still new, that's a fact. I have told any false lies, or wild theories like microchips, etc. I stated why I am not taking the vaccine, but for those who want it more power to them, that's great, glad it's available for those who would want it, I see no problem with it since you're choosing to take it.

You are being snarky by putting words in parentheses, it's basically air quotes. But could you tell me the know long-term effects that could happen with any of these vaccines. You can't because we don't know. Every medication has an side effects, nothing is safe. But most drugs have been out long enough for us to choose if we would like to take those chances. Every medication, food, surgery, etc we choose if we would take that chance by taking that said treatment. But not giving people an opportunity to choose is wrong. For those who want the covid19 vaccines I'm happy they are available for you, but those who don't want to take them, it's their right to refuse. Also what's next to be mandated, under the falsehood of the greater good, for the safety of people.

I don’t believe that there are enough studies or time behind these vaccines. Most drugs and vaccines clinical trails a more than a year. We don’t know what the long term effects are going to be. I mean Johnson&Johnson can’t even get baby powder and sunscreen right, but I’m going to trust them with a new vaccine that was studied for less than a year. There are constantly recall on drugs that were considered safe 10-20 years ago but over time and continue studies they’re not safe anymore, cause we know the long term consequences. Also there have been a lot of clinical trails that subjects have been lied to, examples Tuskegee Syphillis study, Guatemalan STD study, agent orange experiments, and many more. Also let us not forget the natives were given blankets with smallpox. So if my lack of trusting humans and incomplete clinical trails make me a conspiracy theorist it’s just a hat I will gladly wear, hopefully I can put it over my tin foil hat. I don’t care what Rupert Murdoch’s racist, sexist pig allow his employees to do, and I don’t know why you assume I would care.

If you look on the CDC website there actually have been some vaccines that were pulled because of harm. These vaccines are common so of these recalls were as recent as 2013, some were minor like mispacking or mishandling, some were vaccines that cause the condition it was vaccinated against. It appears when polio vaccines were first started in 1955, they had over 250 cases of polio that was caused by the vaccine produced by one company, they recalled this vaccine. I am not an anti-vaxxer or a Trumper, but I have legitimate concerns about this vaccine, that has not been studied long enough. I think that it should everyone's choice to be vaccinated not a mandate. So I am glad that healthcare workers have the option to get vaccinated or weekly testing. But eventually, everyone will be tested weekly, since both vaccinated and unvaccinated people are getting COVID-19. Also, scientists and governments have been known to lie about everything and experiment on their own citizens, in the name of the greater good.

Wound care nurse is where you want to be if this is your passion. Most hospitals have them you work with pt in the hospital and pts that are doing out pt care. This is a specialty, and a growing field with diabetic wounds, more pt's are bedridden and have wounds, etc. You learn about wound vacs, hyperbaric wound care, different dressing and creams, stages and etc,

I've tried to LTC, the first one I did not stay pass orientation, due to what I felt where red flags. The staff training us had all been there less then a year or just got the position, and the second flag was that the chief nursing officer was also the manager of the LTC. The second LTC I work at a pt was able to leave and come as he pleased, if he can ride around with family, then he can do his care as an out pt somewhere, he was out and about, doing whatever he wanted, not there when it was time for medications, etc, came back with his grown children whom also spent the night, it was just to much, and we are responsible for him,cause he is in our care. During both interviews, I asked how long a pt stay was, both informed me that the purpose of the LTC was rehab, to help see if pt can recover and go home or if they need placement in nursing home, and that most stays where no longer then 30 days, sometimes more depending on the case, also most every pt that was there more then 30 days were pt's from a nursing home, that where chronic vents, so why are they at a LTC, the treatment they are getting iv antibiotics this can be done at the nursing home. I guess my experience with LTC was that they wasted resources, they did not function as they are suppose to most of it was fraud.

I have seen both sides of this working in an ED. The only time that ever asked a doctor to downgrade is if the pt is stable. I have seen so much insurance fraud that it is crazy, pt's being admitted med tele that does not need a tele; pt has not been on tele since in the ED and doc didn't even order an EKG, but the pt is admit with tele orders, how do you justify this fraud, and lets not forget the pt's admitted for observation, majority of these admits are fraud.

Good luck with the shift. When interviewing with the manager of my er she was honest and informed me that the hardest shifts were the AM-11pm and the 3pm-3am. The reasons this shifts are the hardest is because they are the busiest. You come to work busy and you leave work busy. On the 7am-7pm the shift starts slow and ends busy and the opposite with the 7pm-7am. Good luck again.

I recently graduated in may of 08 and having been working in the er since. i trained on the day shift and hated this shift, as an extern, when i passed board, i was trained on nights. i have always been an night person. But what shift you choose depends on if you are morning person or a night owl. the midday shifts are the hardest you work with 2 crews, you are busy from the beginning of you shift to the end of your shift. I personally agree with another post night shift people are more laid back, the day shifts can be whiny and to many politics. morning crew always blames something on the night shift no matter what position you hold, also there is not a lot of people (mangers and etc) in you way when you are trying to work. You get to experience alot of different thinks on this shift, the drunks, psych, coders, wreaks and etc. I learned a lot in my 1st week on nights in then i did during my 2 months on days. because at night you have less resources example at my er EKG techs leave at PM so we do our own EKG from PM till AM. but i have great resources with the Rn's i work with on this shift, we are like a family, help each other with team work, if a nurse busy with a critical pt we help with that pt or help that nurse my caring for her other patient, by giving med, d/c and calling report. the night shift can be hard, you have to work together and get things done, cause we are all we have.
