I want to try this but I am afraid my face will break out.

My parents cried, they were so elated to finally get the vaccine. "We can finally not worry anymore and have the whole family over!" My Mom said this with such enthusiasm and it was the first time over the last 10 months she seemed carefree. I wanted...

I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. I wanted to thank you for the insight into your current feelings. I have often given condolences by saying, "I can't imagine what this must feel like for you." I find your description gives a slight g...

No worries@PsychNurse24. This is a long thread ?. Unfortunately, I have to agree we're in this for the long-haul with this despicable virus. ❤Schweet

That is a good point. I know specifically of one person who did just that and then oops, not allergies, testing positive for Covid. I have talked to a few non-healthcare 75+ vaccinated individuals who all appear to have this same mindset, it's a go f...

It really is a no win situation. I am sorry to hear he lost both of his family, that must be difficult. I agree it is weird seeing the city streets being empty. I have noticed it was strange seeing on the news famous locations significantly less...

Spoke to my parents yesterday and we laughed more than we have in a long time, I can see why you also felt relieved after getting the vaccine. My hubby's also going through allergies right now, thank goodness Neg Covid. The post nasal drip cough...

Freedom, freedom, Freedom. To be able to live this free again. I have a feeling psychologically this is a much easier way to live. ❤Schweet

I suppose I got the vaccine hoping they will find it does more than just prevent serious illness, hopefully make it less likely to be spread but that remains to be seen. Also, less chance if dying from it feels reassuring also. Schweet❤

I am grateful for your thoughtful response, as well as that from others too. I think you guys have given sound advice ? I plan to visit my parents this Spring for an outdoor, masks wearing, no contact visit. While it is frustrating to fly all the wa...

I know posts can derail naturally but this post is hilarious ? . As you can see from my original post I tend to wonder off topic as well. I get plenty of political discussion from my hubby so I'll kindly just not acknowledge that facet of this thread...

All things I think about also. - Schweet❤

@londonflo I hope my family can do this, it has been 10 months since I have traveled to see my parents. Been texting and chatting on phone only ?. They're in the high risk category. I normally see them 2-3 times a year. @KitigerI feel this wa...

I have experienced this at my doctors as well. It's very frustrating from our perspective, though, if the tables were turned I might be the same way as these offices (especially if they haven't had much Covid desensitization, like we have). Also...

Got the 2nd Covid Pfizer Vaccine & here's my experience: Day 1(day of 2nd dose): slight injection site pain, mild swelling/redness, size of a dime and warm to touch. Day 2 (next day): Similar injection site pain/swelling with more pain ...

Got the 1st Covid vaccine a few days ago, no pain during insertion. Slight soreness at site next day but no side effects otherwise.

You know you are a Covid nurse when: Your "coworker" is not above wearing disposable underwear under a makeshift pillowcase hair cover when they forget their surgical cap and the unit is out of disposal hair covers ? Need some humor in this mess.

Tuesday I love it! And it does make more sense. For a visual, it was very nun looking. ?

Also just found this Medscape article specific to HCP PPE skin probs: https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/929590

Early Covid, Management says: No masks on the floor out of patients rooms, especially not your own masks from home. During Covid: Masks mandatory everywhere, and by the way, we don't actually have enough, so...if you could just bring yours from home...

Anytime you take off your mask in the break room to eat you think, I wonder how much Covid is actually in here...dun dun duhn. But you continue to eat anyway.

I can tell you that my Covid patient would break out in a coughing fit every time she used hers. Not saying IS is a bad thing or a good thing in this situation but this patient only really coughed if she used it. I certainly don't want to be in the r...

I feel your pain. The 'maskne' is real. Due to new surge policies here, reusing peroxide cleaned masks and use of face shields, my face looks like I am a pimply teen again. After reading this article I found it isn't necessarily caused by hormones, i...

I saw your recent post that you wish it could be deleted, but I believe it's better that you got to vent. Sometimes we all need to vent and feel heard/understood. As for pay, not a simple question. There are two questions I noticed being answered on...

However, little to no college debt I think is nice. While these programs are very competitive, it is possible. Look at the criteria they use to determine who gets picked. For instance, some may give priority to those in that city, higher grades espec...
