  1. Got The Vaccine! Share Your Experience

    Marisette replied to Nurse SMS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I received my vaccine today. I work the outpatient area where covid testing is done in a high risk urban area. We have a high flow of patient's who may or may not have covid walking through. So...

  2. FL is not following mandatory mask/social distancing protocol

    Marisette replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's really sad that people are unwilling to sacrifice for our elders who have to come out of their homes for medical services if nothing else. I don't see why covid cannot be controlled to the...

  3. KN95 mask?

    Marisette replied to guest1143647's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't think your missing something. It sounds like you and the patient's are not well protected, although I don't know what the acceptable guidance is for KN95 mask. I don't think we as a society...

  4. Your Thoughts on COVID-19 Vaccine

    Marisette replied to Trampledunderfoot's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes, interesting article about vaccines. One good thing is that many people with covid 19 recover and produce antibodies . Hopefully this knowledge will help vaccine research move along. Moreover,...

  5. Your Thoughts on COVID-19 Vaccine

    Marisette replied to Trampledunderfoot's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I've believe the virus is mutating very slowly and a vaccine may ultimately stop the spread of covid 19. I'm not even going to guess as to which one will be most effective and safe. However, I...

  6. Not able to be with mother with dementia in hospital due to Covid

    Marisette replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think no testing after potential exposure, and continuation of work places our patient's, expecially the elders and most vulnerable at risk. How many patient's is a pre-symptomatic healthcare...

  7. Not able to be with mother with dementia in hospital due to Covid

    Marisette replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's really sad what is happening in nursing homes. I don't understand why the most vulnerable population was not protected adequately. Why not more testing availability for family who wants to enter...

  8. Living as an older individual with comorbidities

    Marisette replied to Hillbilly RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Hello Hillbilly RN I understand the concern for your safety. I live in a large city and there are plenty of covididiots out there. Many people don't wear mask, don't keep a social distance. I'm...

  9. Depressed, unhappy, feeling lost

    Marisette replied to stacylethani's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I had to turn off the TV and visit allnurses today. The news is very depressing. And Yes, it's all covid. This little virus has turned the world upside down and everyone is affected weather it be...

  10. How do you know if nursing is right for you in the long term?

    Marisette replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry that you feel so badly. I know someone advised that you get help for your anxiety earlier. Do you have an employee assistance program at work that you can call and discuss your anxiety....

  11. How do you know if nursing is right for you in the long term?

    Marisette replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. It sounds like you have been in nursing for about one year now. The first year is challenging, especially if you had issues with anxiety frequently in the past. Personally, I think nursing is...

  12. Sick but negative

    Marisette replied to Panda Girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Just like many I have gone to work prior to covid, not feeling well. My employers were not forgiving of a call in. However, in the future, I can't see myself doing this and placing the more vulnerable...

  13. Are Sanitized N95 Masks Safe for Reuse?

    Marisette replied to J.Adderton's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The land of milk and honey ! If you want a test for covid 19, you get a test ? If you need an N95 mask, you get a mask ? From news reports, it would appear there was so much PPE made available to...

  14. States are reopening. As a nurse who takes care of COVID, how do you personally feel about going out and seeing people?

    Marisette replied to EDScrubLife77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It sounds wise to hunker down for awhile while waiting for more effective treatments if your over 60 and with comorbid conditions. Unfortunately, it may not be economically possible for all of us....

  15. New nurse, asthma, Covid-19, What do I do?

    Marisette replied to AnonymousNurse2012's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I soppose it largely depends on where you live and work. Perhaps some states or rural areas have less covid patients and it may be safer for you to practice there. I work in the city, office or triage...

  16. VP Mike Pence visiting Mayo Clinic - Not Wearing a Mask

    Marisette replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes, Fired, but it takes courage to lead at a time like this. To bad he can't step up and do the right thing for the nation. I wonder how Winston Churchill would handle this

  17. VP Mike Pence visiting Mayo Clinic - Not Wearing a Mask

    Marisette replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So very true. So many false statements during this whole event. Everything from we are at low risk in US, to no need to wear mask, to this is not a pandemic. How are we to trust any statements coming...

  18. Early Studies Show Remdesivir Improves COVID-19 Mortality Rates

    Marisette replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I suspect this medication is being used on the very sick. Perhaps sooner treatment with Remdesivir would lead to better outcomes. How readily available will this medication be if approved by FDA

  19. There's "no evidence" coronavirus survivors can't be reinfected, WHO says

    Marisette replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It appears that the WHO declared a pandemic after we were all aware of this. They have failed to provide new or inovative discussion in regards to covid 19, other than naming the virus. I think they...

    Marisette replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Marisette posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    Marisette replied to Mich888's topic in General Nursing

    Hello, As stated above, most primary care jobs, are filled by Medical assistants and LPN's. There were a few triage positions in larger institutions or University settings. However, at this time, due...

  23. My house is so empty.

    Marisette replied to tropsnegRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm so sorry your going through this. No healthcare provider signed up to work with limted PPE. Just know you are not going through this alone. There are a lot of empty homes out there because we...

    Marisette posted a topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Hi. I would like to know if there are any RN's doing triage ONLY in family health or community health clinics and what are the advantages and disadvantages of this specialty. I know the hours are...
