    CDC states only 10,000 patients died DIRECTLY from Covid

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

    A basic understanding of how viral infections lead to death isn't limited to epidemiologists, it's part of the expected foundational knowledge of any RN, and certainly should be expected of an NP....

    ECMO transducer level

    MunoRN replied to Manchester789's topic in Critical Care

    Any transducer is levelled to the height of where opening of the pressure monitoring lumen is. This is to remove the effect of hydrostatic pressure from the reading. This is why we use the...

    BLM rioters cheer as Trump supporter murdered

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

    FNP2B1, I agree with you on the complaint that it's not acceptable protesting to scream at people eating dinner, block roads and freeways for the sole purpose of being aggressive towards others, etc....

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

    I didn't have any trouble finding a statement from Biden condemning the rioting, violence, and destruction of property from June 2and, one week after George Floyd's death, where are you getting "3...

    Nazi-esque Black Lives Matter Protesters

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

    The vast majority of major cities are Democrat-led, so your argument doesn't make much sense. Far more patients die of cancer while under the care of an oncologist than under the care of a...

    Nazi-esque Black Lives Matter Protesters

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

    The actions of those protesters was indefensible and generally disgusting, not to mention completely counterproductive to their cause, although describing them as Nazis is inaccurately specific....

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

    There have been more virulent viruses in the past, and that such a pandemic was likely in the near future was known, and even that it would likely be a coronavirus strain. We had a response...

    Nazi-esque Black Lives Matter Protesters

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

    I don't think there's any doubt he likely felt his life was threatened in both instances, but in terms of his legal defense there will also be the question of whether this was a predictable end result...

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

    You keep claiming to prefer facts over bias but then all of your examples are short on fact and heavy on bias. The "actual ideas", the democratic party platform, you present in your example is a...

    A fib RVR vs SVT

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

    The term "SVT" is often used to refer to a re-entry SVT, but really the term SVT refers to any rhythm with a ventricular rate of greater than 100 bpm that originates above the ventricles, which can be...

    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

    What are you basing that on? The (partial) China travel ban occurred well after the virus was broadly seeded in the US and was also well distributed among other countries that were still allowed to...

    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 certainly entitled to an opinion on whether voting should be easy or hard, but referring to ways of encouraging and facilitating voting as "fraud" is at the very least

    Biden suporter assaults 7 year old child, supposedly she is a RN

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

    I would agree that he didn't specifically refer to the guy who ran down people with his car as being one of the "very fine people", but the "both sides" consisted of those protesting statues and other...

    2020 Presidential Candidates on the Issues

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

    I'm no fan of Biden either, and I was optimistic about Trump's policies before he took office, but it's easy to lose that optimism when he then does the opposite of every reasonable policy position he...

    2020 Presidential Candidates on the Issues

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

    He did support legislative action on DACA, until he didn't. He was even offered, and agreed to, his full $25 billion border wall funding request in exchange for DACA, and then changed his mind and...

    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

    According to Heritage, of the 1100 convictions for voter fraud only 143 involved mail-in voting, the rest were in-person voting, that's about one case of mail-in voter fraud about every 7 years in...

    Risk of Catching Covid as an HCW Might Be Lower Than You Think

    MunoRN posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    Don't shoot the messenger on this one, I'm probably as skeptical of any suggestion that Covid-19 isn't anything other than highly transmissible as any of you, but there are surprises in the data we...

    RN Disciplined While Waiting On Covid 19 Result

    MunoRN replied to INDY RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As I said earlier, I'm all for complaining about how sick days normally work, including that I get an "occurrence" for a sick day even though it's employee health that says I can't work given certain...

    RN Disciplined While Waiting On Covid 19 Result

    MunoRN replied to INDY RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's the same "occurrence" that one gets for any excused absence at every place I've worked, it's not specific to missing work due to a Covid exposure. It's certainly reasonable to debate whether an...

    COVID-19 Are the droplets somewhat airborne? Conflicting reports

    MunoRN replied to Pete W.'s topic in Disaster Preparation

    There's no definitive list of "aerosol generating procedures" because there's no evidence to support the definition, none, zilch, nada. It makes more sense to consider potential sources of...

    COVID-19 Are the droplets somewhat airborne? Conflicting reports

    MunoRN replied to Pete W.'s topic in Disaster Preparation

    I saw that repeated in various new stories today as well, but it should be noted that the study didn't actually find that it can remain in the air for several hours, they postulated that with small...

    Acute COVID, What We're Seeing

    COVID-19 has been in my area long enough that we're getting an idea of how it plays out, curious what others are seeing. The most surprising thing has been the duration of acute illness, I sort of...

    RN Disciplined While Waiting On Covid 19 Result

    MunoRN replied to INDY RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Describing the application of normal excused time off procedures as being "disciplined" isn't really accurate. What the OP describes is how normal illness call-offs work at every place I've worked,...
