    President Biden thread

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

    I provided you with a lengthy explanation of what was wrong with the article, it was poor journalism in a number of ways; it failed to provide fairly easy to find context and it pushed a position not...

    President Biden thread

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

    I actually use to enjoy Ben Shapiro's columns in Newsweek, and I'll freely admit I used to visit Breitbart when he ran it, I like reading well reasoned views even if I don't agree with them. But he...

    Question About Hospital Scheduling

    MunoRN replied to cameron5575's topic in General Nursing

    It depends, individual job postings are usually for an already defined schedule. When there are multiple positions for the same shift being filled at once there may be some room to reorganize the...

    MunoRN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    So you're complaining because we're back to being a country people desire to be a part of, a literal "first world

    President Biden thread

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

    That's a really good example of what we're talking about, although we probably wouldn't agree as to why. The Sherriff claimed that under Trump, border security was working and that it was "under...

    Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    MunoRN replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    It actually gives multiple ways to flag or designate the documentation of abuse or risk for abuse as a higher level of confidentiality than standard notes. If your humanistic based nursing...

    Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    MunoRN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    The $4000 was after taxes, the median RN salary is a little over $6000 per month, but you're correct that there are many other costs of living, although with the mortgage being less than half the...

    Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    MunoRN replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    The processes for identifying and separating out notes and information that is of higher sensitivity and subject to additional confidentiality has been around for longer than the new rule, since the...

    Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    MunoRN replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still not clear if Wuzzie and Susie 2310 are actually just saying the same thing, or if they are debating different views. Is it being argued that the radiology report shouldn't be released to...

    Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    MunoRN replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    I'm really not being obtuse, I don't see how the number of patients causes entrapment of nurses to write an unprofessional or inappropriate not. Leaving out the catty remark that the patient...

    Hoyer Lift

    MunoRN replied to MisMatch's topic in Home Health

    I've never worked in a hospital where we used or were expected to use two people with a lift, either hoyer or ceiling lift, what is the reasoning for thinking a lift can't function with only one...

    What are some of the silly things that are expected in your handoff report?

    MunoRN replied to MyAimIsTrue's topic in General Nursing

    Not specific to any hospital, but a question during report that has always driven me nuts is when I tell them they have bilateral PIVs, one 18 and one 20, they want to know whether it's the left arm...

    President Biden thread

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

    There will likely be aspects of Biden's immigration stance I don't agree with, but one thing I'm in favor of is that we're no longer following the Trump administration's massive slowdown and massive...

    President Biden thread

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

    The number of unaccompanied minors coming to the southern border increased every year under Trump, does that mean it's his fault they were coming here? I'm still not sure what policy or other...

    Getting Flack For Not Getting Covid Vaccine

    MunoRN replied to EDnurseAmen's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I find the inability to recognize the significance of decreased influenza cases this year by those trying to minimize the severity of Covid-19 to be both fascinating, and disturbing. Why we might be...

    President Biden thread

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

    That's the thing about Executive Orders, they are specific to each President, it's fairly unusual for a President to leave office yet their EOs are still in effect. This is why pre-President Trump...

    Getting Flack For Not Getting Covid Vaccine

    MunoRN replied to EDnurseAmen's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We don't do gene tracing on every single case of Covid-19 transmission, that's true, but we do it on groups of cases of sufficient size and sufficiently randomized to provide well-powered data on both...

    Getting Flack For Not Getting Covid Vaccine

    MunoRN replied to EDnurseAmen's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Asymptomatic spread has been proven since the earliest confirmed cases, where genotype tracing occurred in many of the cases and much of the transmission that occurred was up to 2-3 days prior to the...

    President Biden thread

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

    What "actions" are you referring to? He's made no changes to asylum requirements or citizenship requirements. Do you mean that the US seems a lot more desirable now that it's not run by a corrupt...

    The problems with your claims have been brought up, and ignored, before, but here you go: The evidence that face masks or other coverings is an effective source control (it offers protection when...

    Being forced to give corporate access to my medical records?!

    MunoRN replied to IRN2011's topic in General Nursing

    First, you don't appear to have a condition that qualifies as a disability under the ADA, so it's odd they are asking you to claim you meet the definition of disabled, they are essentially asking you...

    Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    MunoRN replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    If a patient disagrees that they had refused a medication then I would much rather address that at the time than a few months down the road when they dispute that they disagreed, being able to...

    Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    MunoRN replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    No, I don't see how the number of patients makes a difference in whether I would be opposed to a patient seeing their nursing note. Again, an example might be
