   litepath2 replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

   In case you missed it, I left nursing after having the choice of firing or taking the H1N1 shot back in '09. So, no COVID kids for me. Your smug-point is well noted. I don't know if you've...

   litepath2 replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

   Good Link. Not sure what it would take (truly!). But I do know we haven't even begun to reach any kind of a threshold for me to want to mask children. Case #'s don't bother

4. Medical Board Says, "Stop Issuing Bogus Mask Exemptions to Students"

   litepath2 replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

6. Where do you go when you don't trust official data sources?

   litepath2 replied to 10GaugeNeedles's topic in Disaster Preparation

   You think you/me/we got it so bad? How about the general public? Those folks are taking a beating unless they bury their heads and march to the beat of only one drum. Those folks I dearly care about....

7. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

   litepath2 replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

   Probably. Like you, I have no idea, other than what the CDC does presently do with it. They bigger issue for me is simply why: If it was built and established to help with vaccine hesitancy during...

8. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

   litepath2 replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

   Yeah. Not. They are choosing NOT to use this for the present vaccine program, the mRNA tech. And why not? It was created to aid vaccine hesitancy and they are not using it. You provided evidence...

9. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

   litepath2 replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

   Depends. If it's 2009, then you use the PRISM system specifically designed to intake and asses & report on the H1N1 vaccines problems. Created by and monitored by people outside of the profit...

    litepath2 replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

12. Scope of practice in the OR, am I the only one that sees a problem with this?

    litepath2 replied to jamiebell's topic in General Nursing

    Never worked OR as an RN. Every other nursing job has protocols. The protocols are what protects our license. Should be protocols in place for those CST/ST's doing whatever. Or, those protocols...

    litepath2 replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Right, or was it iatrogenic? Doesn't matter when you need to keep basically every charge safe. Which is why I said, put 'em all on precautions. The why/where and when was beyond my post, but your...
