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

    litepath2 replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sure. I'm bothered. Kids are some of the toughest creatures on earth. And they are precious to me. <-Another reason I don't want to see them masked if they don't need to be. If they need...

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

    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...

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

    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

    Personally I don't believe kids should be masked at all. But I do believe that an MD or whoever is charged in a given duty, has a duty to follow guidelines that are spelled out and they agreed to...

  5. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    litepath2 replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    For those interested in such things. . . Comirnaty.com came Online today (I was monitoring). Also, the FDA approval Doc/pdf defines all the testing required going fwd....

  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...

  10. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    litepath2 replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I said, what I said. You have evidence in support of your argument? https://www.statnews.com/2017/01/10/moderna-trouble-mrna/ Lack of publishing papers could be another reason they don't...

  11. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    litepath2 replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    OP, I went thru this back in '09 with H1N1 and was none to happy about it. I admit I was blissfully unaware the H1N1 was such a big deal. I had taken care of at least one 3rd term-preggo gal and...

  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...

  13. Short Staffed: An Epidemic

    litepath2 replied to KellyM RN's topic in General Nursing

    Lucky You. I encountered about the same with staff at the last facility I worked.. After mgmt made enough of a mess to cause a big turn-over what they were left with was garbage. Made worse by mgmt's...

  14. Patient negative and now is positive

    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...

  15. Natural Immunity

    litepath2 replied to IamICU's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Actually, it's being studied right now and is ongoing....

  16. Thinking About Leaving Leadership

    litepath2 replied to Tait's topic in Nursing Career

    Absolutely right. You do no have to stay anywhere you're miserable. And shouldn't. There was a time when nurse managers could make all the difference. Probably is still in some places. But those...

  17. Interesting considerations regarding nanoparticle encapsulation of mRNA in covid vaccine

    litepath2 replied to guest1178273's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Can I ask? Why reply if you can't present an argument to my statement/s and instead choose to interject/proselytize about my taking a vaccine? My vaccine status is not germane to the discourse. And my...

  18. Unvaccinated nursing instructor in Missouri is hospitalized with Covid-19 and urging everyone to get the vaccine

    litepath2 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So. . .n=1? IOW, one story of a morbidly obese MSN changing her tune proves little. We can speculate till the cows come home. This story reminds me of. . . . "There are no atheists in...

  19. Interesting considerations regarding nanoparticle encapsulation of mRNA in covid vaccine

    litepath2 replied to guest1178273's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Important point in that post. Why did we not bring the PRISM program back and instead are using VAERS? PRISM was built and designed for this very thing. To inspire confidence in vaccine safety...

  20. Patient negative and now is positive

    litepath2 replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Wrong. Not to be forgotten, vaccinated folks are getting COVID too, right? If this question was on NCLEX, the answer would be . . . c. The fastest and best solution for this is for all...

  21. Interesting considerations regarding nanoparticle encapsulation of mRNA in covid vaccine

    litepath2 replied to guest1178273's topic in Disaster Preparation

    mRNA makes some really big claims. And all the while (>10 yrs.) they've accomplish exactly zilch IMO. Maybe my Google-fu is weak, but I don't recall ever seeing an mRNA therapeutic that has...

  22. Coping with mistakes

    litepath2 replied to J.Robinson011's topic in General Specialties

    Coping with mistakes. I think the thing for me was seeing how EASY it was to make a simple mistake. I was still being precepted when I gave the whole vial of Cardizem (25mg) IVP instead of...

  23. Calculating Intake and Output

    litepath2 replied to lexieanders's topic in General Students

    Our lives (your problems) would be so much easier to figure if we all said 'yes' to the metric system. The USA uses a half-assed system for medical math. oz and mL? really? Dumb! Covert...

  24. NYP hiring for new grads

    litepath2 replied to Sadnewgrad's topic in First Year After Licensure

    sadnewgrad, don't be sad. Some places are on top of it and some take literally Months. 3 days is nothing. 3 weeks would be a good starting point of figuring they aren't interested. Almost bet...

  25. Please help! Which job offer should I take???

    litepath2 replied to cmyr711's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You get into the local ICU by working local. All politics is local
