    Will I get into trouble by checking my own blood sugar using hospital device?

    MunoRN replied to Ncap's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think that's a common understanding of EMTALA, the name certainly would seem to suggest it only applies to Emergency Departments, and the vast majority of EMTALA covered care occurs with someone...

    Will I get into trouble by checking my own blood sugar using hospital device?

    MunoRN replied to Ncap's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    That was the same view as a place I've worked, which changed drastically after a CMS investigation. There's a common assumption out there that when a visitor or staff member complains of a health...

    CA Gov. Newsom On Wildfire Devastation: Impact Of Climate Change Cannot Be Denied

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

    Not sure how you got that from the article. Not even The Federalist tried to make the sort of silly argument that the problem with forests is that they're full of trees. It did however sheepishly...

    Nitroglycerin error

    MunoRN replied to Nightnurse95's topic in Patient Medications

    Dosage rate errors are not uncommon with Nitroglycerin due to the dose being very similar to the rate in ml/hr. The dose and rate ideally should be obviously different measurements, or the same. A...

    Will I get into trouble by checking my own blood sugar using hospital device?

    MunoRN replied to Ncap's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm not really clear on why you felt you needed to check your BG for what sounds like having too much coffee, but every hospital I've worked at allows staff to check their BG using the hospital's...

    How much of this seems within CDC guidelines?

    MunoRN replied to GoAway2020's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's actually within CDC guidelines to cohort COVID positive patients, regardless of what day they are on in the course of their infection. There's not really any reason to start their isolation...

    MunoRN replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    It depends, are you saying you were floated to ICU and given ICU patients or given patients who are a lower level of care but still physically in the ICU? Medsurg nurses are also sometimes floated to...

    MunoRN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I know a number of medics and EMTs who volunteer with the local social / political action organization which has been around for decades, none of them however affiliate with the local chapter of the...

    What is a BLM medic and what are their qualifications?

    MunoRN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    The BlackLivesMatter movement started as a general sentiment in response to the killing of Trayvon Martin and continued on in response to numerous unjustified police killings. The name was then...

    What is a BLM medic and what are their qualifications?

    MunoRN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    "BLM medics" are first responders of at least an EMT level or above who work for the BLM (Bureau of Land Management). 'Protest medics' are first responders with levels of qualification varying from...

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

    CDC states only 10,000 patients died DIRECTLY from Covid

    MunoRN replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I'm not sure how you got that from the article, even the author conceded "It could be that strict lockdowns were imposed as a response to already severe outbreaks", which is why the rate of cases...

    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

    He made this statement to voters in NC, where by law the counting of mail-in ballots can't start until 5 pm on election day, so there is no way a polling place would now if your vote has been counted...

    CDC states only 10,000 patients died DIRECTLY from Covid

    MunoRN replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    This has been a popular misinformation meme particularly on facebook, but it gives itself away as a hoax. Like this example, they typically include the claim that physicians are listing COVID...

    CDC states only 10,000 patients died DIRECTLY from Covid

    MunoRN replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    The article makes no mention of people falsely testing positive for COVID, maybe you could clarify what you're referring to. The existence and prevalence of false-negatives is well documented,...

    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're also saying the quiet part out loud. You're spot on, he has openly stated that he is trying to alter the election process so that people who support his opponent (Dems) will be less likely to...

    A fib RVR vs SVT

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

    Sort of, SVT can be irregular or regular as it is a broad description that applies to wide range of rhythms. A re-entry SVT is regular and typically "super fast" since it's rate is based on the time...

    CDC states only 10,000 patients died DIRECTLY from Covid

    MunoRN replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    What the CDC is that of those who died of COVID about 10,000 had no underlying conditions that would have increased their risk of death. They didn't say that those were the only people who actually...

    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

    Nobody's criticizing Trump for removing under-used mailboxes, it's that he's openly admitted to intentionally impairing the post-office's ability to operate to make it harder for people to
