    January 6 Select Committee

    What do you think about with current News and Opinions?

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

    I would agree that he's done a good job of being somewhat coy about his minimizing of Covid, while at the same time leaving no confusion amongst those who minimalize Covid about which side he's on....

    It could be that he's feeling much better than before, this may explain why he was out of public view from the middle of December until this week. As for how people who've downplayed the...

    Healthcare And Birthdate Imperative

    MunoRN replied to MarkMyWords's topic in General Nursing

    At least in my facility a patient could choose to memorize their MRN instead, although pretty much anyone who is required to confirm your identity with two identifiers most likely already has access...

    It's not really clearly that either would have been breaking rules had they been in their home states, both were seated at tables and had beverages. But either way I don't agree that these would...

    Legal responsibility to perform CPR?

    MunoRN replied to smellslikesarah's topic in General Nursing

    There are facilities which have varying policies on how resuscitation is provided, some have limited the scope of at least certain staff, such as non-licensed staff (CNAs) which has been controversial...

    What do you think about with current News and Opinions?

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

    I'm not sure that I've heard that the NY Times is the "gold standard" of journalism and there's plenty of things about them I could find fault with, but "subjective opinion" would be that the Silicon...

    Diploma and Associate Degree in Nursing

    MunoRN replied to LasercopyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    ? A&P component requirements are fairly standardized between ADN and BSN programs, so I'm not sure how you've come to that conclusion. On a related note, I find that where these ADN vs...

    Changing the Conversation about COVID to Get More People Vaccinated

    MunoRN replied to LeChele Mack's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm not sure what you're saying "no" to. It seems to be the idea that myocarditis is more common with Covid infections than with vaccines. Yet your reference only confirms

    Do you work with PA lines often? Are they really a thing of the past?

    MunoRN replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in Critical Care

    It's not always 15 minutes, it can vary based on the proprietary algorithm that it uses to determine the reliability of the readings it gets. This is almost worse than a strictly defined delay since...

    Health insurance options for PRN

    MunoRN replied to pamalamadingdong's topic in General Nursing

    There are generally two types of health insurance coverage; individual and group plans. Generally speaking there are fewer requirements to individual plans in terms of how reliable they are compared...

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

    This doctor's story is pretty fishy, and call me cynical but I feel like it might have something to do with the fact that he's also the CEO of the only for-profit urgent care clinic offering...

    Vaccination Mandating

    MunoRN replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't think Covid likely had anything to do with opioid-free urgent care centers, that's been common for quite some time since there really isn't a good reason for them to go through the hassle of...

    Are there any travel nurse jobs for Unvaccinated Nurses?

    Are there any travel nurse jobs for Unvaccinated Nurses?

    The CDC recommends a different type of vaccine be given for the second dose if a patient had anaphylaxis with the first but doesn't consider subsequent vaccine doses to be contraindicated....

    Vaccination Mandating

    MunoRN replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If I had two family members admitted to the hospital with Covid, one was vaccinated, the other not, and because of the high case-load we really provide adequate care to both, then yes I would choose...

    I would argue "ignoramus" is more technically accurate. "Oblivious" would also be accurate, "ill-informed" as

    Medical Power of Attorney

    MunoRN replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    That's unfortunately not common in the ER. I worked with one ER doc once that would aggressively ask the patient "do you want to die?" when they told the doc they were DNR or DNI. Which is of course...

    Medical Power of Attorney

    MunoRN replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    They're not the same, a POLST is far more useful than a living or advanced directives. Advanced directives / living will are really only useful in that they typically designated a medical POA,...

    Patient Abandonment

    MunoRN replied to jung park's topic in General Nursing

    Definitions vary some by state, but in mine that's not actually patient abandonment since the charge nurse also accepts the patients when they get report on the unit, so long as you inform the charge...
