  1. COVID-19 and extinction of human species

    eerrmm replied to DannyBoy8's topic in Disaster Preparation

    ? (Is there a face palm emoji on this thing?) This isn't even close to an extinction event pandemic. Not by a long shot. You do realize that, right? Even if no one received intensive care, we'd lose...

  2. Refusing Care of a COVID-19 Patient Due to Inappropriate PPE

    eerrmm replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Did you actually listen to him? He said it can be aerosolized but that is not probably the primary way it's being transmitted. If it was truly an airborne virus, there'd be a whole lot more people...

  3. Refusing Care of a COVID-19 Patient Due to Inappropriate PPE

    eerrmm replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yeah, it is. https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1910/1910.134 OSHA: 1910.134(a)(2) A respirator shall be provided to each employee when such equipment is necessary to protect...

  4. Quarantined Nurse’s Scorching Anti-CDC Rant Goes Viral

    eerrmm replied to MunoRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Google Strategic National Stockpile. They've started to share now so that's nice.

  5. Canada’s preparedness compared to USA

    eerrmm replied to meganvl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    True. Unfortunately we're looking at the potential for a very similar scenario playing out in our privately funded health care system. At least Italy's grieving families aren't also now bankrupt from...

  6. Canada’s preparedness compared to USA

    eerrmm replied to meganvl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    True. It is premature to assume that Canada's health system will come out of this unscathed. However, Germany, South Korea, Japan and Iceland are faring far better than us. The United States is the...

  7. Was Covid-19 Here Already?

    eerrmm replied to BSNbound21's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yep. Otherwise people may be walking around w/ a false sense of security thinking they already had it. Or are still in fear when they may not need to

  8. Was Covid-19 Here Already?

    eerrmm replied to BSNbound21's topic in Disaster Preparation

    November? That's very unlikely since it was probably just getting its foothold in the human population in Wuhan at that time. First known case was diagnosed in early December in Wuhan. So if your...

  9. ARDS

    eerrmm replied to Lookingforhope's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm sorry to hear you and your loved one are going through this. Best wishes for a full recovery. Sometimes people don't consider hypertension much of a "disease" because it's never caused a symptom...

  10. Was I a complete idiot for wanting to get into OB? Now I'm lost and don't know what to do with my life.

    eerrmm replied to RubyJuly2020's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, not an idiot for being interested in OB. You're an idiot for not taking the NCLEX immediately after graduation. Prep and take it asap. Get a job - apply for OB positions - who knows, you might...

  11. Use of IS with COVID

    eerrmm replied to jharvey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It sounds like most people who end up with severe disease go down so rapidly and severely that encouraging IS isn't an option. Maybe it'd be a bit helpful for people w/ mild-moderate

  12. Canada’s preparedness compared to USA

    eerrmm replied to meganvl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Each hospital can bid against its neighbor hospital, supplies go to the highest bidder. Free market medicine baby. It's perfect and don't try to tell us otherwise. We heard 30 years ago that publicly...

  13. All out of Sterile Gloves

    eerrmm replied to anitalaff's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'd look to see if medical relief organizations like Doctors w/out Borders or maybe the WHO has guidelines on using exam gloves for a usually sterile

  14. The Drug Investigations - Three So Far

    eerrmm replied to NormaSaline's topic in General Nursing

    Currently the FDA can't logistically regulate/oversee overseas generic drug manufacturing. Congress should ban generic drug importation until either the FDA figures out a way to reliably and...

  15. Not Interested in Nursing after getting my BSN, HELP!

    eerrmm replied to sammy0000's topic in Nursing Career

    Google "services for disabled children" in your state and do a little research on the different organizations that come up. There are all sorts of agencies that provide care to disabled children and...

  16. Holy SATA!

    eerrmm replied to PennyS's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ok, so update - I passed. :) The PVT was accurate in my case even though I was sure it wasn't. Congrats to anyone else who got the good news this

  17. Quick results ??

    eerrmm replied to grneyz083's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats, Penny!!! That's awesome! You're giving me hope.

  18. Pearson Vue trick 2014 -still works!

    eerrmm replied to terri8's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    From what people have been saying it sounds like the holiday and weekend don't actually matter and we should have our unofficial results today at

  19. Multiple Time test taker and FINALLY PASSED! 76Questions My experience

    eerrmm replied to Rn4rmFL's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats! It must be such a relief!

  20. Holy SATA!

    eerrmm replied to PennyS's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks, PennyS, but I really don't think I passed. I'll update though just so everyone knows if it really is possible to get the good pop up and still fail. I agree with you, MLW84. It definitely...

  21. Holy SATA!

    eerrmm replied to PennyS's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Same here. Out of the 75, 50-55 were SATA. It was my nightmare come true and doubly so since it was crazy heavy on pediatrics (which I know exactly sh*t about). Where was all my cardiac, neuro, even...

  22. Ready to Apply CT Community Colleges- Nursing Program 2012

    eerrmm replied to CJ223's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    @ saramisu - yeah, I paid in full when I registered so I don't know how that works. I hope they aren't unreasonable about it, it seems like paying by July should be in plenty of time! Thanks for the...

  23. Ready to Apply CT Community Colleges- Nursing Program 2012

    eerrmm replied to CJ223's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Oh, also FYI I had the exact same registration problems. The advisor (who shall not be named :) said it was because they didn't have a final grade on Micro.. even though it's not a prereq. Makes...

  24. Ready to Apply CT Community Colleges- Nursing Program 2012

    eerrmm replied to CJ223's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    @ Saramisu - Wow you've already dropped off your health form?! Did you get a flu shot already or did they tell you you could wait till the fall? I spoke with someone who said to have it done by...

  25. Ready to Apply CT Community Colleges- Nursing Program 2012

    eerrmm replied to CJ223's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Oh and Saramisu, I was trying to register online for English 102 to get my last co-req out of the way over the summer, but it wouldn't let me. So I spoke with an advisor at CCC today and he told me...
