  1. Using Your Nursing Credentials to Validate Anti-Vaxxer Theories

    Horseshoe replied to Helen Crump's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well a lot of those people would state that a fetus is not a human being, completely negating your point. Then we could argue back and forth about when life begins, and next thing you know, no one is...

  2. Pity Party - US Hospitals Hit With Nurse Staffing Crisis Amid COVID

    Horseshoe replied to JKL33's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is no doubt true now. When I got out of hospital nursing (many years ago), they were crying "nursing shortage," but the only shortage at that time was a shortage of hospitals willing to...

    Horseshoe replied to grammieRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Also, it may have seemed "rushed" because it usually takes MUCH much longer to recruit enough trial volunteers. In the case of the Covid vaccine trials, they had ample volunteers pretty much...

  5. Using Your Nursing Credentials to Validate Anti-Vaxxer Theories

    Horseshoe replied to Helen Crump's topic in Disaster Preparation

    "Being ill informed" and spreading lies via massive platforms like Youtube, FB, Twitter, TikTok, etc. are not the same thing, but they can both nevertheless result in death and disability. People...

  6. At what point can mandates go too far?

    Horseshoe replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Agree completely. A lot of the stuff being posted here about "what about such and such? You gonna' turn them away?" They are a)not contagious and b) not overwhelming our hospital systems and...

  8. Pity Party - US Hospitals Hit With Nurse Staffing Crisis Amid COVID

    Horseshoe replied to JKL33's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I was starting to see that "glee" in the eyes of management when I decided to get out. I was sick and tired of fighting nursing supervisors' demands that we take additional patients, when that would...

  10. Pity Party - US Hospitals Hit With Nurse Staffing Crisis Amid COVID

    Horseshoe replied to JKL33's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I got out of hospital nursing years ago when I saw the writing on the wall. "Nursing shortage" my foot. It was always a shortage of hospitals REFUSING to hire adequate staff, choosing instead to...

  11. So, It's Come To This...

    Horseshoe replied to Jedrnurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I live in a red state in a very large city. We have low vaccination rates and high numbers of infected. Rural hospitals are probably also struggling, but we have had days where we had no ICU beds in...

  12. The US is Officially Nuts: Judges now telling hospitals how to treat COVID patients

    Horseshoe replied to Anonymous865's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Anyone who has worked ICU has heard the old "the patient is stable" and known that it actually only means "he hasn't died on my shift." While I am against judges mandating doctors to administer...

  13. At what point can mandates go too far?

    Horseshoe replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    A mask mandate is only so good as the compliance to the mandate. If infected Joe Blow wears it at the grocery store because he has no choice, but continues to socialize with others at private homes or...

  14. At what point can mandates go too far?

    Horseshoe replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have worked 8 hour surgeries with no breaks. MANY times. And it doesn't need to be without breaks-you work 8-12 hours at a time for a decade, you should be very ill after 10 years of doing it. But...

  15. At what point can mandates go too far?

    Horseshoe replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As soon as I saw under Potential Health Consequences of Wearing Masks: I knew I was doomed! In the OR, we wear masks 8-12 hours a day, and most of us have been doing this for at least a decade...

  18. Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    Horseshoe replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    People can do what they want of course, but it's clear that this thread is actually just a bully pulpit and serves no purpose other than to feed an insatiable need for attention and circular debate....

  21. Pushed by quacks, use of Ivermectin is poisoning people

    Horseshoe replied to nursej22's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ah, the old "do your own research" thing. OK, well I "researched" who is the maker of Ivermectin. They have a big financial incentive for their medication to be shown to be effective against...

  22. Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    Horseshoe replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Based on recent posts of the OP that "any reason whatsoever that anyone gives for declining vaccination is valid," then what the heck is the purpose for this entire thread? Really, according to this...

    Horseshoe replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My D is engaged to a man with a young toddler. He was 2 when Covid got started for real here and is now 3.5 years old. I thought for sure he would buck the mask-how could he not? He couldn't possibly...

    Horseshoe replied to grammieRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Right now there is very little about Texas I would be surprised about. There may be some health care entities that required a flu shot in the past, but I've never worked at one, and none of my nurse...
