    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...

    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...

    Compassionate Combat

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

    You've added 26 onto the total I gave for 2020 and it's still an awful lot less than 3600. 34 < 3600. How many deaths occurred in the US from car accidents and just general accidents in just one...

    Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    GrumpyRN replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thank you for this, it finally makes sense why you continue to post bad research and ignore everything that doesn't correspond to your world view. You have either poor reading skills or poor...

    Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    GrumpyRN replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    OK, I've had enough of this. You continue to state "as fact" that there have been thousands of deaths FROM covid vaccines in the USA alone. So as this is a nursing forum and as nurses are...

    Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    For information, I would caution you against using The Daily Mail as a source. Have a look at these Youtube videos. Even though they are 5 and 11 years old and you may not get some of the...

    Are you seriously saying that only the US has freedom and rights? Are you really that ignorant of what happens in the world? Let me give you a quick clue - look up Magna Carta, European Convention of...

    Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    GrumpyRN replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I missed nothing and I have no idea what you are looking at. The data shows that vaccinated people are less likely to end up in hospital if they catch the virus. So perhaps if EVERYBODY JUST GOT THE...

    Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    GrumpyRN replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not one part of that sentence makes any sense whatsoever. I sat and looked at it and I have no idea what you are trying to prove. My reading of the article leads me to think that people who are...

    COVID-19: Keep reading, keep learning about all this

    GrumpyRN replied to Floor_Nurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You do understand that research cannot by definition be "more true" or "less true." It is EITHER true or not true. Anything else is speculation. Oh, and are you aware of how facebook...

    Oh dear. First thing... Are you OK? Are you all right in yourself? Are you getting help with the PTSD? Not being sarcastic, genuinely concerned as that is a lot to unpack and you do not...
