    COVID: It's Time to be Outspoken

    heron replied to Jenna Arsenault's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Maybe those articles aren’t slashed all over the media because basic fact-checking suggests that they are less than rigorous. We know that at least two foreign governments have been involved in...

    RN Jobs That Do Not Require Covid Vaccine

    heron replied to TraumaRN52's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This same victim card gets pulled whenever a poster is challenged to get specific about their vague pejorative characterization of anyone who attempts to pin them down. ”if you don’t already...

    No autopsies allowed for covid positive deaths?

    heron replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Frankly, I looked askance at the original post as well, but decided to take it seriously and assume that you really wanted to read possible explanations. I guess not. I guess the “I know a...

    No autopsies allowed for covid positive deaths?

    heron replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You may not be getting the whole story. When my partner died, the coroner elected to forego an autopsy. I was told that if I wanted one done, it would have to be at my expense. If the cause of death...

    ER and schedule VS hospice and schedule?

    heron replied to justanurse19's topic in General Nursing

    Just want to add that “on call” could translate as out all night, depending on client needs which are notoriously hard predictable. Hospice shifts are nowhere near as controllable as other...

    RN Jobs That Do Not Require Covid Vaccine

    heron replied to TraumaRN52's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Covid misinformation is most definitely against TOS. Re-read the original post: an ER nurse exposed to Covid the way he claims could not have been wearing any PPE, thus implying that Covid is not...

    Just don’t bother with New Mexico … all healthcare workers, regardless of setting, are mandated to vaccinate here. Between federal mandates ( OSHA, CMS and holders of federal contracts ) state and...

    OK, I think I get it now. I was confused as to why so much time was being spent discussing post-viability terminations. It goes back to what the forced pregnancy advocates fondly believe to be the...

    How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    I’m not “johnny come lately” to the pandemic, however, and have direct personal experience of the dramatic difference made by having the majority of our staff and residents vaccinated. The story...

    Staffing agency or direct apply to hospitals?

    heron replied to Mal23's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Agency or traveling assignments require that you hit the ground running. If you are VERY lucky, you might get a shift with a staffer to get oriented, but at the price the facility is paying for your...

    1. The word you’re looking for is “coy”. Koi is a species of fish. 2. Your personal attacks on TMB are against TOS. It seems to be your go-to tactic for attempted intimidation of someone...

    Mandating vaccine for children

    What’s interesting is that neither anti-mandate poster has addressed this question. Why is that? We already know what happens in the absence of a mandate. What is it about the current situation that...
