    Termination From Employer For Refusing EUV

    GrumpyRN replied to RaineyRN7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    +I have bolded a few things so to keep this simple and civil... You say you have all this research. I personally don't believe it is research, I think it conspiracy nonsense but if you are really...

    Termination From Employer For Refusing EUV

    GrumpyRN replied to RaineyRN7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Lots of people stating that Kary Mullis stated that PCR cannot be used to diagnose covid so not sure what you are talking about. "As a nurse I would expect better." - Do you mean me as a nurse or...

    Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    GrumpyRN replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    But the rest of the world does this already. It is only in America with your concentration on money that this has become a problem. That is called a Shaman. I would rather have someone...

    Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    GrumpyRN replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Done the work for you. Some sources that say it is better to get vaccinated even if you have had the covid....

    Termination From Employer For Refusing EUV

    GrumpyRN replied to RaineyRN7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Overall, we rate The Duran a Questionable source based on far-right-wing bias, promotion of Russian propaganda, and right-wing conspiracies, a lack of transparency, use of poor sources plagiarism and,...

    Delta Variant as Contagious as Chicken Pox

    GrumpyRN replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As soon as this "doctor" stated that the virus is too small to be contained by masks I knew he was a charlatan. He conveniently forgets that masks stop droplet transmission which are much larger than...

    Patient Refusing Unvaccinated RN

    GrumpyRN replied to Delia37's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No, but you did say that getting immunity to Varicella and Covid by catching them is a better thing than vaccination. I quote; "Their exact wording were "the natural way." However, "the natural...

    Rant About Covid Antivaxxers

    GrumpyRN replied to SunDazed's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You do not apparently know any history. The holocaust was preformed by FASCISTS not communists. In fact Communists were targeted by the Nazis. Please get your facts correct before you

    Rant About Covid Antivaxxers

    GrumpyRN replied to SunDazed's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sorry for your loss but it's not likely the vaccine is at fault.

    Patient Refusing Unvaccinated RN

    GrumpyRN replied to Delia37's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes, and I'm also old enough to remember how that went with Polio, Smallpox and TB and before that the plague. That is a stupid analogy as chickenpox is a "minor" disease (I am using minor...

    Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    GrumpyRN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Why on earth would you not answer that question? It is a teaching moment. Your answer should be, "Of course I am vaccinated. Why wouldn't I be?" Then use it as a teaching opportunity. I could...

    Delta Variant as Contagious as Chicken Pox

    GrumpyRN replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sorry to be a pessimist macawake but there is now this (my bold):- The WHO and the UK Government are continuing to track the spread of the Lambda variant of coronavirus, which has become the...

    Unvaccinated nursing instructor in Missouri is hospitalized with Covid-19 and urging everyone to get the vaccine

    GrumpyRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not allowed to do that any more. "The Children (Equal Protection from Assualt) Act 2019 bans physical punishment and discipline of children." But yes you are correct, it was part of growing...

    Unvaccinated nursing instructor in Missouri is hospitalized with Covid-19 and urging everyone to get the vaccine

    GrumpyRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    How do you spell "Schadenfreude" or "Epicaricacy?" Perhaps they should be a candidate for a Darwin Award.

    What I Hate About Nursing In 2021

    GrumpyRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Emergent, I am going to backtrack a bit and give you my apologies. I read your list wrongly. I too agree that I hate masks and want to get rid of them and back to some kind of normal. I just want...

    What I Hate About Nursing In 2021

    GrumpyRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with you 70%. Number 9 not a problem in the UK. 1 and 10, disagree with you completely on that, but we already know we are on opposite sides of the argument on this so not making a...

    Question about 99% unvaccinated account for covid deaths statistic

    GrumpyRN replied to akardont's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Have a look at this report from the BBC from the beginning of the month to give some perspective to what you are seeing and also to confirm what emergent said. Don't just look at the headline numbers,...

    Interview presentation

    GrumpyRN replied to Marcel Adudu's topic in United Kingdom

    First thing is don't wait until less than 36 hours before you ask for help. If nothing else it shows a serious lack of either interest or preparedness. You should have looked at this at least a week...

    Covid Patients General Population or Cohort

    GrumpyRN replied to Nurseonc's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is quite possibly the stupidest thing I have read. Mixing infected patients with non-infected patients. Who taught management their infection control, Typhoid Mary? What part of the...

    How to deal with workplace Drama/Gossip?

    GrumpyRN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with this. Was once told that I was having an affair with one of my colleagues with no evidence whatsoever - I wasn't - I told them pretty sharply to stop spreading rumours and to behave...

    NHS nurse transferring to another NHS Trust

    GrumpyRN replied to Blood Chemistry's topic in United Kingdom

    Talk to Citizens Advice. They may be more able to help you (for free) and point you in the right direction. Also have a word with your union if you are a member. Does your trust have someone in HR who...

    Compassionate Combat

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

    Perhaps if it had not been politicised by Trump we could have found out. Although does it really matter at present? It is here so let's try to get rid of it THEN we can assign blame. You don't...

    Compassionate Combat

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

    As I pointed out at the time to the poster, what they described were war crimes. Shooting children, destroying property, beating women and children and kidnapping and beating/killing men are all war...
