    President Trump was likely largest driver of COVID-19 misinformation “infodemic” per Cornell University study

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

    China initially proposed the Belt and Road initiative in 2013 but it didn't go anywhere and no other countries had joined until Trump backed out of the TPP, leaving a vacuum that the Belt and Road...

    President Trump was likely largest driver of COVID-19 misinformation “infodemic” per Cornell University study

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

    China's Belt and Road initiative only got traction because Trump backed out of the Trans Pacific Partnership. We went from a US-centered trade arrangement to one where we get screwed thanks to his...

    Trump’s assault on Postal Service and voting is a plot against American democracy

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

    You don't find a 94% survival rate (ie a 6% mortality rate) concerning? And that's in the surprisingly small portion of the population that has no risk factors. According to Trump, the number of...

    CLABSI - Multiple lumens vs Y sites

    MunoRN replied to CN21IVT's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Multiple ports to a single lumen does make that single lumen more than one lumen, at least based on how the term is commonly used. A "lumen" is where a single or combined flow of infusions exits into...

    President Trump was likely largest driver of COVID-19 misinformation “infodemic” per Cornell University study

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

    That seems to be a drawn out way of saying you don't like it's conclusions so therefore it's not a good study, without giving any specifics on why you think it's incorrect. Different topics lend...

    IV spa/infusion center

    MunoRN replied to mermer_rn's topic in General Nursing

    If you felt people were judging you then I think you may have misunderstood, I don't think anybody was judging you personally. We've been critical of the business of IV lounges, which put people...

    Incompability med question

    MunoRN replied to Glou's topic in General Nursing

    From the OPs description they didn't actually mix, the biggest potential effect of the interaction of Bicarb and zofran is that the zofran won't' be effective in an insoluble precipitate, in which...

    IV spa/infusion center

    MunoRN replied to mermer_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Private medical offices these days almost always have an AED, but the bigger issue is that a patient coding as the result of an appropriate medical intervention presents much different legal and...

    Standard COVID Precautions

    MunoRN replied to rooftop-yawp's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I neglected to answer the part about what evidence the idea of AGP risk is based on. First, there are no RCTs on the subject, they simply looked retrospectively at the procedures that HCWs who...

    Incompability med question

    MunoRN replied to Glou's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what you're referring to by a multi-lumen peripheral IV, some PIVs have two ports, both attached to the same lumen, if you mean a PICC then that would often have multiple truly separate...

    Standard COVID Precautions

    MunoRN replied to rooftop-yawp's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think people mistakenly assume that there is some level of evidence to support the premise of "aerosol generating procedures" given how commonly the phrase is used in the setting of COVID-19....

    Post offer physical

    MunoRN replied to KMULL002's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that you don't have anything to worry about, your diabetes and back problems aren't such that they would prevent you from being able to perform the job duties. A common mistake people...

    IV spa/infusion center

    MunoRN replied to mermer_rn's topic in General Nursing

    I think you're referring to an infusion clinic which is completely different from an "IV Spa", aka "IV Lounge", "Medical Spa", "Rent-a-drip", etc. An Infusion clinic provides medically...

    Standard COVID Precautions

    MunoRN replied to rooftop-yawp's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We stopped using the designation of "Aerosol Generating Procedures" some time ago because the premise that some procedures and interactions present a higher risk of COVID transmission due to the...

    Who is responsible for lab results?

    MunoRN replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    A patient with stage 4 stomach cancer and a lactate of 9 is actively dying, rechecking a blood sugar or double checking that the MD saw the labs won't cure stage 4 stomach cancer and won't even just...

    President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

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

    I don't think the Secret Service would claim it's not their job to protect the President when he's engaging in necessary travel, they would agree that's 'what they signed up for'. But to use your...

    Devastated over Isolation Precautions Problem

    MunoRN replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    I would be wary of assuming the grass is greener somewhere else. Some people go into nursing management because of their clinical leadership skills, and some go into it because they enjoy having...

    Devastated over Isolation Precautions Problem

    MunoRN replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    You did everything that could have been reasonably expected of any nurse, there's no reason to feel as though you failed. The only thing I might have done differently is that ideally each isolation...

    Trump's " Executive Order on An America-First Healthcare Plan"

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

    That's a fair point, by plans that "have come out of congress" I was referring to the PP's statement that it should be Congress that comes up with healthcare reform proposals, and replied with...

    Dr. Sean Conley's flubbed updates on Trump

    MunoRN posted a topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    A Physician's skill at giving an update on a patient's status varies widely, some are amazing, some regularly require the nurse to go in afterwards and mop-up their mess. Yet I can't say I've ever...

    What's it like in the VIP wing of a hospital?

    MunoRN replied to marienm, RN, CCRN's topic in General Nursing

    According to UPenn's description of "The Pavillion" it does actually provide a different level of care than is provided to other patients, it's not just that the rooms look nicer or that the food is...

    What's it like in the VIP wing of a hospital?

    MunoRN replied to marienm, RN, CCRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would have guessed the upcharge would be way more than $525, since the base room charge in hospitals typically ranges from just under $2000 to more than $5000 for an ICU patient per day. Even...
