    I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    MunoRN replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    0.4% of the US population under 50 would be 1,400,000 deaths. And that's not counting the even larger number with ongoing debilitating chronic conditions that result from the infection even after...

    I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    MunoRN replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The thread started on the topic of employers requiring those who work with high risk populations to protect them through vaccinating caregivers, not about forced vaccination of the entire

    FiO2 and O2 Concentrators

    MunoRN replied to Rionoir's topic in General Nursing

    The concentrator removes the nitrogen in air leaving the air in the chamber about 95% oxygen, but room air is required to then flush that oxygen out of the chamber and produce flow, which dilutes it...

    I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    MunoRN replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Setting aside your apparent view that we shouldn't try and mitigate avoidable deaths in people over 50 years old, I don't agree that the number of deaths these mortality rates translate to are...

    Could masks be another vector?

    MunoRN replied to guest584920's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Where are you getting that asymptomatic transmission isn't a thing? This is where some sort of reference would help your argument. Earlier epidemiological data put the rate of asymptomatic...

    doctor thinks I should administer med based on "telephone game"

    MunoRN replied to lincoln77's topic in Patient Medications

    I've never seen a Physician order state how to properly prepare the ordered medication, nor would I want them to try, that could only create confusion. All medications have publically available...

    I don't know if I should call out or not r/t snow storm

    MunoRN replied to SoNan's topic in General Nursing

    This probably won't be the last foot of snow to ever fall in NJ so you might start considering plans to make this commute more manageable, but in the mean time, no, I wouldn't call out for fairly...

    80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    MunoRN replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not following how that would help move us forward rather than backwards. This only puts about half of our current RN graduates even farther from a BSN degree. Also, converting all...

    I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    MunoRN replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The root of your complaint seems to be that your rights are being violated or threatened, but the problem is the rights your referring to don't actually exist. Whether so called "assault weapons"...

    I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    MunoRN replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What 'forthcoming laws' are you referring to? The topic of the thread is hospitals mandating vaccines for those caring for hospitalized patients. Why shouldn't we respect the Constitutional...

    New Nurse - Unsafe Hospital

    MunoRN replied to NurseL20's topic in General Nursing

    No such regulatory requirement exists for restraints for medical treatments purposes. Facilities can chose their own time intervals for assessments of these patients, which is commonly every two...

    New Nurse - Unsafe Hospital

    MunoRN replied to NurseL20's topic in General Nursing

    No such requirement exists, the frequency of checks and documentation is up to hospitals to determine. That's not an unusual requirement for restraints in a psych unit, but it's something you should...

    I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    MunoRN replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I would agree with you that this is a good example of how individual rights relate to the Constitutional rights of a society. I'm not really sure how you've morphed the idea of a hospital...

    New Nurse - Unsafe Hospital

    MunoRN replied to NurseL20's topic in General Nursing

    The most commonly used indication for restraints in hospitals doesn't require q 15 minute monitoring, maybe you could

    MunoRN replied to Mrssykes's topic in General Nursing

    The lateral side lying position actually poses the greatest risk of pressure ulcers since it produces the most concentrated pressure due to the iliac crest. The position with best pressure...

    Covid Vaccine

    MunoRN replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    They didn't decide they didn't want it, there was backlash about the White House cutting in line to get a vaccine before everybody else, so they said they'd wait their

    "CENTI"meter vs "SONO"meter

    MunoRN replied to itiswhatitis's topic in General Nursing

    The English is constantly changing and evolving, pronunciations may morph to sound more delicate or firm, new slang words may enter more mainstream use because they are more onomatopoetic, etc. These...

    "CENTI"meter vs "SONO"meter

    MunoRN replied to itiswhatitis's topic in General Nursing

    They're doing a very poor job of saying centimeter, yes. Some of these grammatically impaired MDs and Nurses use the pronunciation "sonto-meter" which is at least a little closer. A "sonometer"...

    I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    MunoRN replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That's a fairly absurd comparison of religion based human rights violations. What you're referring to is a personal view that you've interpreted from the bible, it's not a view held by any...

    Intervention for pt with a-fib/a-flutter who’s bradying down.

    MunoRN replied to Anonymous666's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I wouldn't pace just based on the heart rate, many people can tolerate a sustained HR of 40's and even 30's just fine, I wouldn't get them up and take them for a walk at that rate, but they don't...

    Intervention for pt with a-fib/a-flutter who’s bradying down.

    MunoRN replied to Anonymous666's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Generally with a slow A-fib or flutter the problem is that AV node is over-blocked / under-conductive. Dopamine increases the rate of the sinus node as well as ectopic foci in the atria, this...

    Could masks be another vector?

    MunoRN replied to guest584920's topic in Disaster Preparation

    A misinformation two-fer, nice work! Masks are for "source control", ie they reduce the potential for people to spread the virus to others, they don't do a whole lot to protect the wearer....

    New Nurse - Unsafe Hospital

    MunoRN replied to NurseL20's topic in General Nursing

    There are places with better ratios, but what you describe is not at all unusual. I'd be careful about assuming the grass is greener everywhere else. I've worked at a hospital where med-tele was...

    How soon can we expect to see cases go down now that Biden is president?

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

    The majority of post, which is generally incoherent, would benefit from some supporting evidence / rationale, or just better explanation. The only part that appears straightforward is "Everyone...
