    Denmark becomes first EU country to lift all Covid-19 restrictions

    MunoRN replied to chare's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Why did sociopathy become a political position? I'm also curious. I've offered my best guess as to why that is. I'm guess you aren't willing to offer your own views on that topic is because...

    Psaki endorsed the conclusions of the "Johns Hopkins" paper? Maybe you could specify where that occurred. She was correct that the only thing resembling a lockdown that we've had was at the very...

    The offered a nonsensical reasoning to one of the studies, which actually included "etc" as a reason, they didn't address the few-hundred other studies they excluded. Of the 34 studies that remained,...

    Denmark becomes first EU country to lift all Covid-19 restrictions

    MunoRN replied to chare's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The closest we've had to a "lockdown" in the US was at the very beginning in New York, and like everywhere that has gone to the extreme step of utilizing lockdowns it was because things had gotten so...

    Denmark becomes first EU country to lift all Covid-19 restrictions

    MunoRN replied to chare's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Kind of the opposite. They figured out that how aggressively you have to mitigate the spread of Covid is dependent on how well you've been mitigating the spread. Their vaccination rate is over...

    What is something you never thought you'd have to say to a coworker?

    MunoRN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Not something I ever thought a nurse would have to tell a coworker, but a patient; Please don't drink your own urine, or at least if you do please keep track of the volume. Which then sparked an...

    MunoRN replied to guest1163268's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    It was a research article, not sure what you're referring to, maybe that it wasn't a controlled randomized trial? That's not what would be done to answer that particular question. But more to...

    MunoRN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    While inserting rectal tube, nurse hocks up a glob of spit, expels glob of spit on end of tube. The tube wasn't inserted as just prior to that the other nurse who was helping position the patient on...

    MunoRN replied to guest1163268's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I'm not really sure what information in this is supposedly newly-revealed (and yes I read the article and watched the video). First, as I've pointed out before, Fauci should no longer have a...

    Open heart prep questions

    MunoRN replied to pcuRN100's topic in Cardiac

    Pre-op OHS on our PCU involves the CHG showers/baths except they no longer do the morning-of shower, that along with the clipping is done in pre-op (PACU). The day before we make sure their pre-op...

    Infuriating Code Status Changes

    I've found views on this to be largely regional, or at least certain cultural views that are typically associated with particular regions. In some parts of the country / in certain regional...

    Should hospitals inform patients and family that COVID positives nurses and staff may be working on a unit?

    MunoRN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm not sure why this needs to be pointed out to someone who is supposedly a nurse, but established premises of public health shouldn't be overridden by the irrational, grief-driven rantings of a Fox...

    Giving Report and IV Access

    MunoRN replied to thehipbonesconnected's topic in General Nursing

    The purpose of report is not to recite a list of data-points with no thought given to the relevance or significance of those data-points. It's about pulling out the significant data and how that...

    Frustrated with Hospital Disregard for RN and Patient Safety

    MunoRN replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    The premise of intubation / extubation and other procedures as "Aerosol Generating" is an embarrassing remnant of recent scientific history. There isn't, and never was, any evidence that...

    ...Was I being insensitive??

    MunoRN replied to Delia37's topic in General Nursing

    I wish the nurse all the best in finding resolution to her feelings around her father's death, but at the same time, she should not be an ICU traveler if that's the case. We pay our travelers...

    Forgot to put water in a water seal chamber on a chest tube

    MunoRN replied to A95's topic in General Nursing

    You should always remember to fill the water chamber, but in today's chest suction drains it won't actually affect the functioning of the drain if the water chamber is empty. It used to be that...

    January 6 Select Committee

    MunoRN replied to nursej22's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    A Little Rant And Some Failures

    Separate from the frequent strokes, cardiomyopathy, renal and hepatic failure these patients often end up with to varying degrees, the issue they all have is severe pulmonary fibrosis. This is...

    A Little Rant And Some Failures

    MunoRN replied to JBMmom's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The "early intubation" idea at the beginning didn't seem to last long, mainly due to data out of NYC that showed this was likely doing more harm than good. But we still intubate, at some point...

    My Job Hopping & Bipolar Disorder

    Nursing is a challenging endeavor for those that are "psychologically healthy", which I think is a pretty misleading term, but in particular for those that face hurdles in psychologically challenging...

    Giving Report and IV Access

    MunoRN replied to thehipbonesconnected's topic in General Nursing

    Word-of-mouth and telephone-game 10 shifts after the IV was placed is going to be more accurate than the original charting? If that's really true where you work then I would agree, the charting...
