    lifelearningrn replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I've watched this metric for weeks. Two weeks ago the ICU was only about 17% Covid. Now it's nearly 30%. I am not

    Texas governor to residents: "The safest place for you is at your home" due Covid-19 spike

    lifelearningrn replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    ICU is for critically ill patients. Vent or not. Why do you insist on burying your head in the dirt?? I find it funny that you don't believe COVID-19 is a big deal, but joined the union and signed a...

    Texas governor to residents: "The safest place for you is at your home" due Covid-19 spike

    lifelearningrn replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As of today, ICU beds in the medical center are 97% filled. Hopefully we won't end up like NYC. You might end up concerned if they decide to dedicate some of your facility to covid overflow. Texas...

    Guns at the Bedside

    lifelearningrn replied to rnrazzil's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think it would be insanity if NRA somehow managed to get something like this pushed through congress. If someone is in the hospital, one can only assume diminished capacity at some point during the...

    How Vietnam (97 million people) managed to keep its coronavirus death toll at zero

    lifelearningrn replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree with this. And I also don't believe the numbers China has reported. I believe their actual numbers far exceed ever our own. Of course I have nothing to back that up.. just a

    Do you think this is safe?

    lifelearningrn replied to Queen Tiye's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not all nurses survived the 1918 pandemic. I think it is absolutely absurd that over a CENTURY later, nurses are no better protected against a pandemic. We have the technology. We have the hindsight....

    Cdn "journalist" blames Nurses for covid spikes

    lifelearningrn replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't see anywhere she blamed nurses for anything. Officials, maybe, but I take no offense in her tweet. I agree the information available is pretty crystal

    Does Trump have Covid?

    No, I don't think he has it. I do believe he is taking his miracle drug and believes it's preventing him for getting

    Where do you stand on opening things up during the Pandemic?

    lifelearningrn replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think the states that are most aggressive in reopening, will likely be doing less testing and reporting, so not to look like they contributed to an uptick in cases. I honestly don't trust the...

    Fear-mongering in nursing school

    lifelearningrn replied to Guest1033582's topic in General Students

    The constant threat of 'failing out' was probably the biggest stress I experienced during nursing school. While I maintained a GPA over 3.0, just knowing a mistake could make it all go away and all...

    Fear-mongering in nursing school

    lifelearningrn replied to Guest1033582's topic in General Students

    30 page care plans? The only paper from nursing school that was over 2-3 pages for me was the community assessment, which was about 60 pages but done as a group project. I've never heard any other...

    toxic culture, materialism, and unionism

    lifelearningrn replied to servantleader2020's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps you learned more than you realized in those three months, and that has allowed you to shine in your new position. I don't think unions had anything to do with your experience. You weren't a...

    lifelearningrn replied to joansmith1's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't know. Your intolerance for the mask, is it maybe anxiety? I'm not sure there is a straight forward solution for you right now.. I personally would think it best to resign rather than be...

    Will Covid cause huge transfer of wealth out of hands of middle class?

    True. So many people hang their hats of the framers and keeping their 'vision' of America while ignoring that vision included women and slaves as property, and male land owners held the

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    lifelearningrn replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree with you 100%. I think this goes into the false equivalency culture we seem to have going. As if non-scientific, armchair scientists should be given equal consideration. Opinions should be...

    lifelearningrn replied to Guest1033582's topic in General Students

    Take the Shutdown Skeptics Seriously

    lifelearningrn replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I read the article. It's an opinion piece, nothing more. Never in the history have entire countries shut down to contain a pandemic. We don't know if it is going to have a long term positive or long...
