    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to RandomPsychNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I worked at a residential free standing drug an alcohol rehab facility for a while. Typically if there is a doubt to the patient's medical or psychiatric stability prior to admission or at the time of...

  2. Covid-19, No Beds, Ugly Stuff

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to Ado Annie's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Okay I see, that makes sense then that they would defer intubation at that point sense they have such a low chance of coming off it. Thanks for the

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Not necessarily, but I think a responsible company should take into account what kind of wage is required to survive in the market they're at and if they think so lowly of their employees that they...

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Just because something low skill doesn't mean that it isn't necessary due to societal demands, if it's a job that needs to be done it doesn't matter how much skill it takes. People that hold "menial"...

  9. Tell me what you think

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to redhead33's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I'm just not as level headed, but I think I'd be a little ticked for being chastised for offering to pick up a shift, especially to work with Covid patients. Especially since you're being...

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I agree, people should definitely wait to have kids until they are financially stable. We need to be aggressive with education on safe sex, offer contraception, along with family planning oh wait...

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    What do you all think of base national income as opposed to setting minimum wages higher? I know that concept is still considered quite radical but I think with the exponential effects that AI and...

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I've been in this situation a few times where I get restless and disinterested in where I'm at. Unfortunately, I haven't made wise decision in the past when I'm feeling that way so I don't have...

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Not in capitalism there isn't, you make as much money as possible and if you can limit other people from providing the same goods without being labeled as a monopoly then you

  19. Being sued

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to Tenebrae's topic in Nursing Humor

    Nice story! It's funny that patients seem to think if they threaten litigation they can get demands met, and what's humorous isn't always the threat but just the petty crap they want to "sue" over! Of...

  21. Why Black History is Important in Nursing Education

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to Stacy Winters's topic in General Nursing

    If you would use the "Quote" feature to reference the post you're replying to instead of just yelling into the void, it would allow people to know who you are talking to. I'm glad you're an awesome...

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to guest1163268's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I miss Palin being the most embarrassing member of the Republican party, those were good days. This woman from Georgia is a walking disaster, I don't know what rural backwoods holler they puked her up...
