    President Biden's First Day Legislation

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

    It should be pointed out that the information (propaganda) FullGlass was referencing has only come from TC (formerly called TransCanada although still commonly called that in Canada), no other source...

    Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    MunoRN replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    I completely agree with the right to refuse, but not to refuse all staff but the most proficient if that isn't indicated. What I got from the OP's (somewhat cryptic) description is that...

    Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    MunoRN replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    And I completely get being leery of having a student provide your care, and even just deciding to decline a procedure all together as a result. But I don't really agree that patients should be...

    President Biden's First Day Legislation

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

    There don't appear to be any analyses from the Obama administration or anyone else that show the pipeline would decrease the carbon footprint, they all appear to show no significant impact or even an...

    Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    MunoRN replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    We often need multiple IV's in the ICU but there certainly is a thing as too many IVs, I find it's not unheard of for nurses to place new IVs because they didn't bother to look up compatibility or for...

    COVID-Positive Nurses Working: Irresponsible or Smart?

    MunoRN replied to J.Adderton's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The current CDC guidelines for HCWs with known Covid exposures is that they can continue working if they were wearing a mask and eye protection during the exposure. The HCW is to monitor for...

    Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    MunoRN replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that you were pretty clear that the issue is whether there was actually a need for a new IV so I apologize if that seemed directed at you. I had gotten the impression that it was said by...

    Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    MunoRN replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    I would appear to be in the minority as I don't see any glaring problem with students attempting IV insertion on a 'sedated' patient, so long as the patient needed an IV and so long as there was...

    Order transcription

    MunoRN replied to PixxieDust's topic in General Nursing

    The medication order and the MAR are two different things, placing reminders on the MAR that the dose is to be titrated on that day should still be a direction to refer to the actual order for the...

    Direction to perfom Covid test

    MunoRN replied to nursejenval54's topic in Disaster Preparation

    To perform this sort of testing you need to be affiliated with a lab, clinic, practitioner, etc that has accreditation that meets CLIA certification requirements or need to have that accreditation...

    Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    MunoRN replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And you're of course free to chose not to take the vaccine, if you want to feel like Genghis Kahn then you do you. You gave your reason earlier for not taking the vaccine as being there is nobody...

    Took Ibuprofen for 2nd Vaccine

    MunoRN replied to jlv613's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As I said, admittedly nitpicky. Just clarifying that the CDC doesn't recommend people take NSAIDS with immunizations, even though it's OTC they recommend talking to your Physician before taking it...

    Took Ibuprofen for 2nd Vaccine

    MunoRN replied to jlv613's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not to be nitpicky, but the CDC recommends you discuss it with your Physician first before taking ibuprofen, which is different than recommending people take it, it's more a recommendation that it's...

    Took Ibuprofen for 2nd Vaccine

    MunoRN replied to jlv613's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As far as I know, there are no large RCTs to either prove or disprove this, but the concern is that prostaglandins modulate T-cell response (inhibiting prostaglandins inhibits T cell response). The...

    Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    MunoRN replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There's also nobody you can sue if you decline the vaccine and get Covid and end up with a chronic, debilitating condition. Having a chronic health condition due to a Covid infection is exponentially...

    PICC line emergency

    MunoRN replied to LesYou's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I think they're referring to how to deal with a possible potential air embolism in the event the line becomes compromised (no cap + no clamp + valve fails) which would be fairly unlikely, the better...

    Asthmatic caring for covid patients

    MunoRN replied to Peniel95's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Where I work it's based on a risk score, asthma gets the smallest score for increased risk since there isn't much evidence that it actually increases mortality risk with Covid, increasing age is...

    If Nurses are "Essential", Why Can't We Be Treated Like It?

    MunoRN replied to Catalin's topic in General Nursing

    To have an effective Tax rate of 55% your income would have to exceed $10,000,000 annually regardless of what state you're in. You are a very well paid

    Administering Psychotropics

    MunoRN replied to Sniper06's topic in Home Health

    You need consent for every medication you give, this can be as simple as telling the patient what the med is, they then take it, that's consent. Whether you need written consent for something is...

    House Democrats plan to impeach Trump for 'incitement of insurrection' following the deadly Capitol riots

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

    I don't know that McConnell has ever made a political decision based on what's right or wrong, but even just as a political calculation I've been wondering why Republican leadership hasn't felt their...
