    Religious Exemptions

    JKL33 replied to Guest219794's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It doesn't need to be 100% specific. But if a religion-related belief is important enough to refuse to participate in public health efforts during a pandemic then the basic structure of the objection...

    Religious Exemptions

    JKL33 replied to Guest219794's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I object to nearly all religious exemptions I have heard of and to the idea of calling these religious exemptions unless the religion or sect has a previously-published and long-standing, deeply held...

    Previous Nurse Leaves A To-Do List For Me

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Is this list like a running list of things that can be crossed off by anyone, in other words is it more of a communication tool? Or is it actually more like "[Your name], please attend to the...

    Pushed by quacks, use of Ivermectin is poisoning people

    JKL33 replied to nursej22's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't suffer from trusting news sources. I understood your point; I didn't address it because it had very little to do with what I wrote. We are currently posting on pg 25 of hand-wringing over all...

    Nurse have to know So much and partly play the role of doctor and pharmacist - eek!

    JKL33 replied to Nunurse0821's topic in Patient Medications

    It wasn't in response to that. I'm aware of Picmonic and agree that many people find it useful. ? It was meant as general practice advice. Hospitals I have worked in have had policies that...

    Pushed by quacks, use of Ivermectin is poisoning people

    JKL33 replied to nursej22's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Okay, well, after some intense minutes of thumb-sucking and rocking in the corner, I will address the important part of your post: I think so. Either that or my entire career has been a series...

    Pushed by quacks, use of Ivermectin is poisoning people

    JKL33 replied to nursej22's topic in Disaster Preparation

    In the process of looking for the study... Is it about this: https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/09/16/1035851/facebook-troll-farms-report-us-2020-election/ I have never had...

    Pushed by quacks, use of Ivermectin is poisoning people

    JKL33 replied to nursej22's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well, they have flat out said that GSW patients were having a hard time getting care because there was no room in the inn due to all the ivermectin ODs. And now that that story is debunked there...

    Newsweek Article: Providers let patients die?!

    JKL33 replied to JBMmom's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Emphasis on the poster's use of "actually." In other words, doctors aren't killing people. What is actually killing people is a narrative with some support on this forum: The idea that getting...

    Week Three of Orientation and I’m Worried and Want to Quit…

    JKL33 replied to missnursegal98's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing schools do need an immediate adjustment in the way that they advocate nursing, which is too often to flat out lie about it and threaten what all will happen if nurses have certain expectations...

    Attacked by confused patient

    JKL33 replied to guineapignurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. Most of us have had an experience with a patient who was agitated for one reason or another. * Your own safety is important. One option for future experiences might be to keep the second...

    Caring Moment

    JKL33 replied to JeanstarMSN's topic in General Nursing

    I care for my patients by doing my best to be kind/personable, professional, skilled, knowledgeable, efficient and by communicating well. Apparently my acts of caring are not as warm as what many...

    JKL33 replied to Nunurse0821's topic in Patient Medications

    Hello and welcome. There is a nuance here for you to understand: Notice the wording of the homework question. It is not asking you to decide, it is asking you to anticipate something, to be...

    Newsweek Article: Providers let patients die?!

    This person may be gearing up for his own HC award, just like his friend. I do not wish that on anyone. It's really too

    Covid Abuse!

    JKL33 replied to guest1163268's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's also time for "the customer is always right" to go away. What nonsense to begin with. Like nearly every other good thing in the universe, customer service has an extreme and a point at which...

    IVPB simultaneous or not?

    JKL33 replied to Lvl4andcounting's topic in General Students

    This is kind of the crux of the issue here I think. I would not consider that ^ to be IVPB. To me, IVPB is a situation where the "secondary" medication is the only thing being actively pumped into the...

    Go While You Can...Raise the Pay!!

    JKL33 replied to John Salyers's topic in General Nursing

    I knew a physician who sat on a committee where she had occasion to interact with the CEO. At one such meeting she advocated for nursing staff, reporting that nurses were being asked to do more than...

    My boyfriend is still unvaccinated

    JKL33 replied to vio's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So not only is there the main issue (disagreement about the value of public health actions during a pandemic) but rather than discuss his perspective it sounds like he has told you repeatedly that he...

    New Grad in the E.R. During COVID-19

    JKL33 replied to Drewseph's topic in General Nursing

    Use good discretion in what you choose to get ramped up about. There's almost nothing that's worth it--only safety issues, significant ethical issues or habitually poor treatment, really. Avoid gossip...

    @Faithful2 Many people have been where you are. As a former ED nurse I want to tell you that you would be shocked at the type and amount of truly dangerous substances and dangerous...
