    Exactly.

    Are you okay with bartering?

    MunoRN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know that I've ever come across that, I guess the nurses I've worked with have generally been more hard-assed. I do see how that would easily become problematic once they see every aspect...

    Are you okay with bartering?

    MunoRN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I also read it as "bartending", didn't think that was a particularly odd topic to be honest, it's kind of what we

    Are you okay with bartering?

    MunoRN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I'm having trouble imagining what examples of 'bartering' in patient care would be, does this refer to taking something away that they otherwise would have gotten, what would that be? Or is it...

    Patient Refusing Unvaccinated RN

    MunoRN replied to Delia37's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Robert Malone didn't create the process for mRNA stability and has not won any Nobel prizes. He did write a paper and contributed to the overall research on the topic of mRNA therapeutics back in...

    Family Angry About ER Transfer

    MunoRN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Unless the patient has been declared incompetent or incapable of making medical decisions and one of these family members is the POA then none of this is the family's business except for what the...

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

    MunoRN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You've now compared getting vaccinated against a pandemic virus, which is the by far the best way we know of to get past the pandemic and protect others in the society that we're all a part of, to...

    Patient Refusing Unvaccinated RN

    MunoRN replied to Delia37's topic in Disaster Preparation

    An N95 is designed to filter exhaled minimally if at all, we're well beyond the point where the evidence shows vaccination reduces the rate of transmission more than masks. It was "pushed to...

    Mandated to work Saturday?

    MunoRN replied to Bella1988's topic in General Nursing

    Unless you're in a state that has made mandatory overtime illegal for nurses, which there are only 3, then legally they can schedule for whenever they want. I would point out to them that if...

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

    MunoRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    She's an actively working nursing clinical instructor and "is not sure how they got infected"?

    Are there any nurses that are not vaccinated? How to prepare to be safe at work?

    MunoRN replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's an accurate statement, the poster reported a cluster of adverse effects which is deserving of study if correct. The poster has reported adverse events that occur in 4 of 1 million vaccine...

    Are there any nurses that are not vaccinated? How to prepare to be safe at work?

    MunoRN replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You do have immunity, but not all immunity is equal. The reason why vaccination is still recommended for those who have had a recent Covid infection is that the immune response that results from...

    Interesting considerations regarding nanoparticle encapsulation of mRNA in covid vaccine

    I didn't say or imply that it was a term you had invented. I provided a link the topic of which was that it is not an uncommon

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

    MunoRN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I feel like I was pretty clear that of the various reasons someone may not get vaccinated, lacking empathy for others was a subgroup, not the entire group, there were even bullet points to make that...

    Interesting considerations regarding nanoparticle encapsulation of mRNA in covid vaccine

    MunoRN replied to guest1178273's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You presented the topic of lipid nanoparticle encapsulation, the most interesting thing I find about the topic is the connotation of the prefix "nano", which seems to suggest something nefarious to...

    Interesting considerations regarding nanoparticle encapsulation of mRNA in covid vaccine

    MunoRN replied to guest1178273's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The use of lipid nanoparticles to protect the mRNA is not new, it's been in use for the last 30 years in other forms of mRNA therapeutics. mRNA is extremely fragile, a significant amount of the...

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

    MunoRN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Observant. I'm open to how you would prefer to describe the categories of reasons for not getting vaccinated. Those with an established contraindication to the vaccine. Those whose...

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

    MunoRN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think part of the problem is that we tend to use "safety and efficacy" as though it's a single parameter that is being studied. We are still awaiting the additional data that will better define...

    Do hospitals allow nurses to wear their own respirators of choice?

    MunoRN replied to Kara638's topic in General Nursing

    The supply chain is better, but still somewhat sporadic, and still susceptible to shortages with spikes in cases. In the Covid-ICU at my facility we were wearing janky procedure masks up until...

    Do hospitals allow nurses to wear their own respirators of choice?

    MunoRN replied to Kara638's topic in General Nursing

    You wouldn't be allowed to wear an elastomeric respirator or a PAPR for that matter "anywhere in the hospital" since when caring for patients who are not confirmed or suspected to by Covid positive,...

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

    MunoRN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And I agree that actually calling someone an idiot is disrespectful. But the impression you've given is that simply pointing out false claims are false is disrespectful because it implies the...

    Do hospitals allow nurses to wear their own respirators of choice?

    MunoRN replied to Kara638's topic in General Nursing

    Are you referring to respiratory protection when caring for known or suspected covid patients, or to masks which are for source control when caring for non-Covid patients in the

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

    MunoRN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think we all agree that communication should be 'respectful', where I think we disagree with is how that is defined. I would disagree that pointing out that lack of vaccination is detrimental...
