    What do you think about with current News and Opinions?

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

    I generally find your posts to at least be based in reality, I don't agree with all of it but also don't disagree with all of it. But your claim that all that happened on January 6th was a...

    What do you think about with current News and Opinions?

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

    The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee investigation into ties between the Trump campaign / administration and the Russian government confirmed a number of the claims. The basis of the...

    Religious Exemptions

    MunoRN replied to Guest219794's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The various explanations of why someone might argue a religious exemption are for the most part moot. An employer only has to consider the basis of a religious exemption in those relatively rare...

    PICC: aspirate blood before every infusion?

    MunoRN replied to mlolsonny's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    A PICC should be regularly assessed for blood return, but the frequency that should occur is unrelated to how often or when infusions

    Flushing IV site

    MunoRN replied to Floater In FL's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    The pump's been beeping for 20-30 minutes before the RN gets to it? That's a very poorly staffed med-surg

    PICC: aspirate blood before every infusion?

    MunoRN replied to mlolsonny's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    If your going to assess the blood for the "color and consistency of whole blood" then you're going to have to pull at least some of it back into the flush syringe, in which case you should be flushing...

    Flushing IV site

    MunoRN replied to Floater In FL's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    There's not really any reason to flush an IV with saline after getting a continuous IV flush from an infusion of saline. Flushing, if done as a continuous push doesn't actually create turbulence,...

    Giving abx in 100 ml NS instead of 50 ml

    MunoRN replied to autumn_blue's topic in General Nursing

    50 ml isn't the dose, if for instance the order is for 2 grams of cefazolin then 2 grams is the dose. If the antibiotic was 2 grams in 100ml instead of 50 mls then giving 50 mls would be giving half...

    Newsweek Article: Providers let patients die?!

    MunoRN replied to JBMmom's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The patient hasn't gone home, still in the ICU. Last a saw him a few days ago he seemed to be holding his own without getting tubed. Today he's vented and on CRRT, typically this is 50/50 for...

    How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    MunoRN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The government does actually stop you from drinking if that choice is going to put others at avoidable risk. I'm still not sure why you think that premise doesn't also apply to

    How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    MunoRN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Just like pretty much everything that we seem to all agree is a worthwhile reduction of risk of harm to others, it doesn't reduce risk to zero. If you're jumping out of an airplane, wearing a...

    How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    MunoRN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The reason why I asked you if you meant "to what end" or "when does it end" is that it seemed like you meant "when does it end". "To what end" is a way of asking what the purpose of something is....

    How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    MunoRN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Masks are used as source control, they reduce the amount contagion a person exposes others

    How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    MunoRN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm still not clear what your position is, are you arguing that vaccination doesn't reduce transmission? "Lord" Fauci's statements don't support that. Did you mean "to what end" or "where does...

    Newborn Dies After Ransomware Attack On Hospital

    MunoRN replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a little skeptical that there were no adverse events related to this prior to the newer monitoring systems. I doubt these systems aren't cheap, so if they serve no purpose why do hospitals...

    How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    MunoRN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Nobody is arguing that the vaccinated can't spread Covid to others, it was pointed out that your comment could use some clarification as it suggested both were just as likely to transmit Covid to...

    Nurses Promoting COVID Misinformation

    MunoRN replied to Tigerlily8's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You said people had "real concerns" then used misinformation to explain those "real concerns". When someone points out that someone is sharing misinformation that isn't "abuse", claiming that...

    President Biden thread

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

    Are you referring to leaving troops in Afghanistan or the airstrike? The airstrike wasn't a choice "he made". As for leaving troops in Afghanistan I don't necessarily fault military leaders...

    President Biden thread

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

    Typical protocol has always been that the President doesn't get out in front of the military and apologize for something on their behalf, if that had happened, that would be the scandal and a valid...

    President Biden thread

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

    I follow the threads regularly so I'm familiar with the back and forth that's been going on. I don't support petty name calling from either side, although I also don't find who-called-who-what to be...

    How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    MunoRN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't know what that's supposed to imply, but it would seem to suggest that the vaccinated and unvaccinated are equally likely to spread Covid to others. That like seeing someone putting on their...

    Nurses Promoting COVID Misinformation

    MunoRN replied to Tigerlily8's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What you said was that the science of vaccination was in doubt because "A lot of people keep making matter-of-fact statements about this vaccine. We were told that we needed 1 shot then 2, now we...
