    Religious Exemptions

    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

    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...
  3. 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...

    Nurse Breaks in ER

    I hope you are at least getting paid for that
  5. What kind of experiences have you had with the job hunt? Have you not been receiving calls after applying or have you received rejections or ? Curious what it is like in your area. Also what...
  6. 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...
  7. 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...
  8. 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...
  9. Can't answer right now, still in
  10. 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...
  11. 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...
  12. 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...
  13. 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

    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...
  15. How are you doing, @Faithful2? Looking for a good report from you!

    Caring Moment

    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...
  17. 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...

    Giving abx in 100 ml NS instead of 50 ml

    We essentially do that all the time--the sepsis protocols where we flood people while concurrently administering all the
  19. 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!

    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?

    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!!

    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...
  23. 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

    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...
  25. @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...
