    My work is pressuring me to come in when I'm sick, please advise me

    lifelearningrn replied to DogLady's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I couldn't disagree with this advice more. She stated she's legally obligated to self-quarantine until her test comes back. There no wiggle room there. We know that many have very mild illnesses....

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    lifelearningrn replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This isn't a mutated common cold virus. This is an animal coronavirus that jumped species and became infectious from person to person. It's not even close to the same

    Fear and Anxiety

    lifelearningrn replied to spark plug's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We are in unprecedented times, and for sure that will cause anxiety. There have been no proposals to amend the constitution, and it's been made clear that current restrictions are temporary and only...

    Dealing with panicking co-workers

    lifelearningrn replied to Peditra's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Such insanity. Your residents with Covid must be feeling like lepers with people treating them that way.

    Fear and Anxiety

    lifelearningrn replied to spark plug's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well this isn't entirely true. They are pushing to get people back to work. That includes medically vulnerable people who will have no choice but to risk their lives so they can earn a

    Dealing with panicking co-workers

    lifelearningrn replied to Peditra's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm a school nurse. The day before the schools were shut down, I had a teacher send me a student for cough. This student has seasonal allergies, and ALWAYS has a cough in fall and then Spring. No...

    Covid-19 Parties

    lifelearningrn replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Considering it's in Washington state, I wouldn't doubt it. WA has a large anti-vax population and having parties to expose their children to communicable diseases is definitely in their toolbox. It's...

    50% of fatalities in nursing homes in some States

    lifelearningrn replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think Emergent was being series. I feel like we all learned a lot about each other and how we've come to be the people we are. Personally, I feel like I understand you more than I did last week.

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

    lifelearningrn replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I had this discussion with my husband just yesterday. He has an MBA and minored in global economics, so he understands this stuff much better than I. Being more of a fatalist, I asked him what the...

    50% of fatalities in nursing homes in some States

    lifelearningrn replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You position definitely reflects the trauma you experienced growing up. It sounds like your mother was overbearing and controlling, and when you tried to exert independence while living at home, you...

    50% of fatalities in nursing homes in some States

    lifelearningrn replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thank you for sharing your story. Like everything, one size does not fit all. My husband's step-mom has been married to his father about 18 years, and were together 10 years before that. She is...

    50% of fatalities in nursing homes in some States

    lifelearningrn replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It always baffles me when a parent chooses a new spouse over their children. It sounds like your step-mom was a horrible.

    If the US started a system like the NHS in the UK should nurses expect a cut in pay

    lifelearningrn replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I was told by a former UK nurse that nurses are not nearly as respected in the UK than they are in the USA. Almost looked down upon, like some here look down upon blue collar/trades rather than...

    50% of fatalities in nursing homes in some States

    lifelearningrn replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I honestly don't see how liberty and taking care of your elders are mutually exclusive. If anything, it's the elderly that is losing their liberty if they have to live under the roof of their adult...

    lifelearningrn replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm so sorry you had to deal with such an awful parent. I've known others who had 'inheritance' held over their heads to keep a thumb on them only to learn they were cut out of the will after the...

    50% of fatalities in nursing homes in some States

    lifelearningrn replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Absolutely. Elderly care is not a one size fits all issue. I don't expect any adult child raised by abusive and toxic parents 'owe' anything to their aging parents. I certainly don't blame anyone for...

    50% of fatalities in nursing homes in some States

    lifelearningrn replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Having lost both my parents in their early 50s, I never had the opportunity to care for them in their old age. They always said the didn't want to be a 'burden' on us, so maybe them leaving this earth...

    DCFS opinions?

    lifelearningrn replied to Rasberry_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    I'm a school nurse and mandated reporter. The case workers I've talked to have always said, when in doubt, report. It's up to the intake person to decide if it's worth investigating. There is a good...

    Due to the Coronavirus, are freed prison inmates going to malinger their way into psychiatric hospitals?

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

    I don't doubt that at least some of your new patients are newly released inmates. I am also sure they have some serious mental health conditions. It's a shame they were released without anything in...
