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

    ladycody replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I can't explain the mentality...but have come to the conclusion that it is wasted time to try and get reasoned thought from those who are determined to believe that Covid is a farce. They are...

  2. FL is not following mandatory mask/social distancing protocol

    ladycody replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sad then...but can still

  3. "I think I made a mistake" ... 30 y/o Dies after Attending COVID-19 Party

    ladycody replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ugh...just headache

  4. FL is not following mandatory mask/social distancing protocol

    ladycody replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Can't even waste my breath...there's just too much to address here...but you don't sound like anyone who has worked with covid patients. You aren't licensed...so at least there's at least that offers...

  5. FL is not following mandatory mask/social distancing protocol

    ladycody replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am blown away by people in healthcare that just don't get it. For the love of God ....how did they get licensed? For those that mention TB...Covid has killed more than twice as many people in 6...

  6. ICU nursing in Texas during COVID

    ladycody replied to bbear2102's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It makes me furious. We had our small surge and it was bad enough. I'm grateful that we werent overrun. People who don't want to wear masks infuriate me...because I don't feel like they have the...

  7. Nursing check-in: How are your numbers???

    ladycody replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Am sorry...I feel for all of you. I hope you were able to get some travelers.

  8. Nursing check-in: How are your numbers???

    ladycody replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think that really depends on the hospital. Mine still has us reusing N95 masks despite a relatively low caseload....so no...not good enough...but better than nothing I suppose. I know they are...

  9. Nursing check-in: How are your numbers???

    ladycody replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

    RI here: very few cases: we don't have much now but were pretty badly hit before. Things are calming down

  10. Is anyone else holy crap concerned?

    ladycody replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Soooo much more...but I've gotten the need to vent mostly out of my system and am liking my job once

  11. Judy Mikovitz, Ph D and Anthony Fauci, MD

    ladycody replied to Kooky Korky's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Some are glommed onto Plandemic and all of its messages....and I just can NOT wrap my head around it. We...at least those that are nurses....were all taught the value of evidence-based information...

  12. This is just like flu

    ladycody replied to Guest219794's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is perfect. We also need to look at the recovery numbers. The recoveries listed don't show how many are seriously worse for wear...like not OK anymore. Flu recoveries are not generally nursing...

  13. Do you have access to unrestricted PPE?

    ladycody posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm just wondering if people are back to normal anywhere with regard to PPE use? We are still using the same N95 for long stretches because of limited stores. While I get the desire to re-open the...

  14. Did I make the wrong call?

    ladycody replied to FolksBtrippin's topic in General Nursing

    I cannot believe that there is a policy ANYwhere that allows for doubling of a med order without provider involvement. I worked in a prison system that didn't allow pill splitting but there is NO way...

  15. Are Big City Hospitals Really Getting Hit With COVID-19 Pts?

    ladycody replied to EPS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    She also wrote: "In the end I project this will be somewhere near as bad as that flu season. And yet the flu barely made the news at the time." I read her original post...

  16. Are Big City Hospitals Really Getting Hit With COVID-19 Pts?

    ladycody replied to EPS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I suspect it will be worse by quite a bit. Evwn if the numbers are the same for the year....the impact to the healthcare system has been totally different. Significant covid hits super hard and...

  17. Are Big City Hospitals Really Getting Hit With COVID-19 Pts?

    ladycody replied to EPS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm so sorry... You'll be kept in my thoughts and

  18. To kill or not to kill... another person dream?

    ladycody replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Also hoping all is well for you now. It's been a little bit so hoping you are safe and out of harms way given your recent health issues and Covid. Stay

  19. To kill or not to kill... another person dream?

    ladycody replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    ^^^this. She may have been a silly ideological and naive teenager at the beginning of this story....but almost killing you and then fabricating a story from that incident to benefit herself, in...

  20. Refusing Care of a COVID-19 Patient Due to Inappropriate PPE

    ladycody replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thanks for the giggle. There are... literally... HUNDREDS of jobs that require licensure and continuing education outside of nursing. Licensure is a 'protecting the public from incompetence'...

  21. Refusing Care of a COVID-19 Patient Due to Inappropriate PPE

    ladycody replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I call BS. Even the armed forces...where one actually DOES have a very clear expectation that one's life may be lost ... even THEY have dependency, hardship, and medical discharges that relieve their...

  22. To be a coward, or to be a fool?

    ladycody replied to MsJenn_The_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yep...we did take an oath...but none of us took an oath to do that in any particular wat and none of us to an oath to do so even if it meant risk the lives of our families. Do you know the...

  23. Covid-19: Would you ever hire me if you saw I quit during this crisis?

    ladycody replied to ScrubberDucky's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I would look at you without consideration of your quitting yourcurrent job. Just got into a "discussion" about this today. Nurses don't commit to working in a pandemic environment when they go into...

  24. Are Big City Hospitals Really Getting Hit With COVID-19 Pts?

    ladycody replied to EPS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I work at a small hospital (less than 200 beds) in a relatively small state...and it's real. Our overall census is down to about 50% (we don't get the frivolous visits and voluntary surgeries right...

  25. Stryker Spring overlay

    ladycody posted a topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone used a stryker spr overlay for skin integrity support? Thoughts? Am trying to find a support surface that will be readily available without too much push back. Thanks for any
