  1. Nina Pham condition downgraded to fair

    Horseshoe replied to Red Kryptonite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Was very happy to see that Nina Pham has no virus remaining in her body and has been discharged. They kept that private until it was a done deal. Such a

  3. TX RN positive Ebola

    Horseshoe replied to FLAlleycat's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Amber Vinson's family has released the following update: Family: Dallas nurse Amber Vinson free of Ebola virus What a really quick recovery! I am very curious about which treatments she received....

  4. Nina Pham condition downgraded to fair

    Horseshoe replied to Red Kryptonite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The doctor stated at the press conference that they didn't "downgrade" her condition because they were not comparing it to the one announced by PHD. He simply stated that after a long ordeal of...

  5. TX RN positive Ebola

    Horseshoe replied to FLAlleycat's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Local Dallas ABC affiliate WFAA reporter Janet St. James, a little spitfire, interviewed one of the critical care pulmonologists who cared for Mr. Duncan and the two infected nurses at PHD. I found...

  6. TX RN positive Ebola

    Horseshoe replied to FLAlleycat's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Something in particular did happen, we just don't know what it is, and Frieden stated exactly that. We may never find out what in particular happened. But as you say, she got infected, so protocol...

  7. TX RN positive Ebola

    Horseshoe replied to FLAlleycat's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If ebola were "easier to catch than they are letting on," then we should have seen MANY of Duncan's contacts ill by now. So far there are none. I'm fully going to expect Louise and at least one of...

  8. TX RN positive Ebola

    Horseshoe replied to FLAlleycat's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Very upsetting and hoping that the nurse is of the same blood type as the potential American serum

  9. Ebola here in Dallas USA

    Horseshoe replied to HappyWife77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You know, this is sadly very true. I used to teach high school history, and I would always give a very general kind of geography test the first week to see where the kids were in that regard. A...

  10. Ebola here in Dallas USA

    Horseshoe replied to HappyWife77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Did anyone see the press conference done at the Dallas hospital? I didn't tune in until it was almost over. Did they answer whether or not they asked the patient about his recent travel history when...

  11. My best friend is now a patient on the floor I work on

    Horseshoe replied to EmergencyChocolate's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I don't understand why the nurses you work with are "stumped" on this issue. It's pretty clear that you should reveal NOTHING that you know about your friend's condition to anyone, regardless of how...

  12. help, failed a nursing program, what can i do next?

    Horseshoe replied to raya's topic in General Nursing

    The poster you are addressing hasn't made a post in a couple of years. Doubt she will be checking this

  13. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    Horseshoe replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Depending on the situation, one could both mind their own business yet still have an opinion about it. I would neither say nor do anything, but I'd be thinking to myself that both colleagues are...

  14. CAN WE TALK???

    Horseshoe replied to Esme12's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Touche. Lesson

  15. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    Horseshoe replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If you have to ask... You obviously don't have the right...charisma, so to speak, or you wouldn't need to come to a thread like this to ask if you have a chance at banging a gorgeous Heidi. You...

  16. Patient Abandonment

    Horseshoe replied to OHRN29's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Love that!!! OP, you are not even remotely guilty of abandonment. And THEY KNOW THIS. Boy do they ever suck

  17. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    Horseshoe replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I thought you had to have 1, or even 2 or more years experience in an ICU to get into a good CRNA program. At least that is the experience of all of the CRNAs I work with. None of them went into CRNA...

  18. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    Horseshoe replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I walked into my unit one morning to see a stranger standing there with a camera. He said, "Hey, I'm doing some PR for the hospital. Will you be willing to have your picture taken with our hospital...

  19. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    Horseshoe replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wouldn't necessarily have assumed Heidi and Dr. Dick were sexually involved had I witnessed what she did in the break room, though I definitely think it opens the door to that thought. However, I...

  20. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    Horseshoe replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So because everyone has probably lied at some point in their lives, it means we can never speak out against dishonesty? We can't call out our husbands or children if they lie to us, because we once...

  21. CAN WE TALK???

    Horseshoe replied to Esme12's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I'm wondering why the "source" didn't just go ahead and identify the doctor. In all these anonymous reports, this doctor's name has been conspicuously absent. In one of the reports, supposedly from a...

  22. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    Horseshoe replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We would see the docs so rarely...they are in to do rounds in the am or occasionally a couple of times later in the day if something comes up, but for the most part they are in and out pretty quickly,...

  23. what nurses do if a patient wants blood transfusions

    Horseshoe replied to yayita's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You may not know this, but many people consider posts which are written in all capital letters with many exclamation points and drawn out words to be yelling, and rude. Perhaps you meant to do so,...

  24. what nurses do if a patient wants blood transfusions

    Horseshoe replied to yayita's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Really? Well, there have been many threads here at AN concerning Jehova's Witnesses nurses who refuse to hang blood or blood products and how that affects their coworkers, how various units handle...

  25. Yearly Bonus Ripped Off?

    Horseshoe replied to cd365c's topic in General Nursing

    A salary is also a "payment that a nurse earns", correct? And it is definitely "tampered with." I'm curious why you set a bonus apart in your thinking from salary. But yeah, it would be nice if we...
