  1. Riots in Minneapolis

    rzyzzy replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    The feebs earned their reputation for worthlessness fair and square, and well before trump...

  2. Riots in Minneapolis

    rzyzzy replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Ya lost me after “Federal prosecutors say”.. anything after that is going to be

  3. Riots in Minneapolis

    rzyzzy replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Oh, I think if you actually listen to the entire story vs just tossing a convenient dismissive label on it, you’ll understand the “outrage” isn’t actually “selective”....

  5. Riots in Minneapolis

    rzyzzy replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Part of the problem is assuming that “peaceful protest” and “lawful assembly” is still possible in this country - it’s not. The peaceful protests over the Dakota pipeline were met with new...

  6. Riots in Minneapolis

    rzyzzy replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Police departments are indeed local, but they get their tasers, mraps, bayonets & night-vision scopes with grants from the feebs. So *militarized* police are a gift from the feds. and a huge...

  7. Mandated to serve

    rzyzzy replied to beesnest's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If your employer forced you to perform nursing duties at gunpoint, that might be less offensive than what they’re doing to nurses in the US right now. If someone points a gun at you in the US, you...

  8. Covid 19 visitor restrictions

    rzyzzy replied to Susie2310's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Your posts almost suggest that you’re being paid by the word to express sentiments that are well known and not in dispute - whilst throwing plenty of shade towards first-line caregivers for being...

  9. Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    rzyzzy replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Do you actually have any factual information that an employer liability policy “costs a lot more” if employees are licensed and lawfully armed concealed carriers? Does a paint store or a...

  10. Covid 19 visitor restrictions

    rzyzzy replied to Susie2310's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I doubt anyone will defend intentionally excluding family members from caring for and advocating for their patients care. That said, anyone “in the trenches” can certainly provide lots of...

  11. ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

    rzyzzy replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

    LTC is staffed almost exclusively with LPN’s in many areas of the country. Fun question - what skills/procedures can a BSN RN do in your state that an LPN can’t do? The list is probably...

  12. ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

    rzyzzy replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

    Not to pick nits, but one of my biggest pet questions is- When did nurse start equaling hospital? yeah, I mean we see nurses in hospitals a lot on tv - but as hospital “systems” swallow each...

  13. ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

    rzyzzy replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure where you get a “two year” nursing degree, but it wasn’t possible at my community college.. there are pre-requisites before you can even apply to the nursing program, and my program...

  14. Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    rzyzzy replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Like anything else, it’s situational - a psych environment where you think someone might actually lay hands on you unexpectedly would be different from a snf where the patients might not be the...

  15. Finding a job with pending accusation

    rzyzzy replied to aspirationpneumonia's topic in General Nursing

    Bon’s from other states will request all documents related to any prior/current complaints, founded or unfounded - from any state you’ve ever been licensed in. nursys only shows what is/was...

  16. VP Mike Pence visiting Mayo Clinic - Not Wearing a Mask

    rzyzzy replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ebola was a more serious infection than this, but Ebola also requires contact (not droplet or airborne) precautions - so covid is actually much easier to transmit - that’s precisely why we have a...

  17. VP Mike Pence visiting Mayo Clinic - Not Wearing a Mask

    rzyzzy replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I recently left a job specifically because our “mandatory” mask policy for everyone (patients and staff) became “optional” if the patient didn’t want to wear a mask. I felt that allowing one...

  18. Should nurses be getting involved in the Reopen America protests nationwide?

    rzyzzy replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Nobody is expected to wait around for “years” - people who have been laid off can collect $962 a week ($24/hr!) in my state from unemployment, and businesses have been incentivized to dish out...

  19. COVID in Dialysis Center

    rzyzzy replied to Healerforlife's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    New CDC guidelines https://www.CDC.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/infection-control-recommendations.html My former employer removed the requirement for patients to mask up and made it a...

  20. Donate your CPAP for Covid-19

    rzyzzy replied to Floor_Nurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There are also tons of people who get prescribed a cpap or bipap who just can’t adapt to wearing the mask and toss them in a closet or donate them to goodwill. The ex had a bi-pap that died...

  21. COVID in Dialysis Center

    rzyzzy replied to Healerforlife's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    My (former) unit was designated as the “iso” unit for the area/region - taking all positives and pui’s, even from competitors. We added a 3rd shift for pui’s and positives - pui's one day and...

  22. Is the increased love for healthcare workers an irony that will fade away when things get better?

    rzyzzy replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Nope! my facility began requiring patients to wear masks during treatment two weeks ago (to help prevent them from infecting each other and staff). It’s a requirement that’s beyond the CDC...

  23. Is the increased love for healthcare workers an irony that will fade away when things get better?

    rzyzzy replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think if we learned anything from the Ebola scare it was how fickle the “love” is. Read back through the articles on “Ebola nurses” & you’ll find government officials lying about...

  24. Is the Covid-19 stay at home order reducing traffic deaths?

    rzyzzy replied to Alnitak7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As an “essential” worker, I was a more than a little put-off by the statement of one local police department-...

  25. Can I Refuse to Work If My Facility Does Not Have Proper Personal Protective Equipment?

    rzyzzy replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Nope, didn’t take an “oath”, so try again. Soldiers & cops might take oaths, but along with that oath often come benefits- like 20 year retirement with a defined benefit pension & free...
