    Covid Vaccine

    MunoRN replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The Author is a phsyician and supposedly has experience in Public Health, but her position here is non-sensical. First, increasing the distribution of vaccines doesn't make it less likely people...

    Sleeping In Vehicle Between Shifts

    MunoRN replied to NGRN89's topic in General Nursing

    It's certainly possible to sleep comfortably in even a small car, but that's probably going to be the least of your issues, so I'll preface this by saying this is probably a very bad idea. I used...

    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

    Your false equivalency embellished with half-truths and lies is disturbing. A sitting President after losing re-election incited insurrection against the US government and attempted to overthrow...

    Got The Vaccine! Share Your Experience

    MunoRN replied to Nurse SMS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I had the second Pfizer dose a few days ago as promised the response was very noticeable. The first 8 hours or so were fine, but beyond that I wouldn't plan on doing too much for about 24 hours,...

    Got The Vaccine! Share Your Experience

    MunoRN replied to Nurse SMS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Supposedly Tylenol is fine since it's not an anti-inflammatory. In theory you should avoid NSAIDS like ibuprofen because a strong immune response is the goal of a

    MunoRN replied to monica mcgovern's topic in General Nursing

    If you hung a 1000ml tube feeding at 6pm running at 65ml per hour then that would run until the time you're saying the feeding is prescribed to finish, 8 am, with some left over (which would be...

    MunoRN replied to monica mcgovern's topic in General Nursing

    You're talking about two different bags (tube feed bag/bottle and water bag / bottle) so I'm not clear what you're asking. The tube feeding bag / bottle should last a little over 15 hours if it...

    Gender neutral opening of Congress

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

    And here I was concerned that so many Republicans seemed to look the other way when the President appeared to commit multiple state and federal election fraud and interference felonies. I realize now...

    I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    MunoRN replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    D-dimer is non-specific to PE which is often why we run D-dimer levels, but it is specific to increased thromboembolic activity. You're absolutely correct that D-dimer levels are often...

    Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    MunoRN replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    GB most commonly occurs secondary to a viral illness, which includes the flu. Influenza vaccination reduces the risk of GB because it reduces the risk a viral illness that GB is often secondary to....

    I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    MunoRN replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So you think the most likely explanation, other than that measures which reduce the spread of a respiratory virus would also reduce the spread of influenza, is that patients who are Covid negative and...

    Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    MunoRN replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You are far more likely to have GB after an influenza illness than you are after getting a flu vaccine (depending on the source, 15 to 40 times more likely). If you don't want GB then getting the flu...

    I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    MunoRN replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's very early in the flu season, so the sample size is small, but you're correct that flu cases are significantly lower given the time of year. I don't see how this helps your argument though....

    Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    MunoRN replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    A flu vaccine is actually the best way to avoid Guillain-Barre since you are far more likely to get GB from the flu than you are from the vaccine. The same is true for the Covid vaccine, even for the...

    California Is Overriding Its Limits On Nurse Workloads As COVID-19 Surges

    MunoRN replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    California's staffing ratio law is very loosely referred to as a "law" since there are no consequences or punishment that result from violating it. I've known a number of nurses who worked in...

    The coroner specifically pointed out that these were not counted as deaths due to Covid, but as deaths among Covid cases. The coroners concern was that some people might confuse this as deaths due to...
