    COVID: It's Time to be Outspoken

    LisaNICUrn replied to Jenna Arsenault's topic in Disaster Preparation

    OK I will look into the viral load information. I haven't researched it in a few weeks. And I definitely understand the immunocompromised wanting to have the freedom to live their lives as well and...

    Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    LisaNICUrn replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The whole point the OP is making is there is no science. What science? The vaccine hasn't even been out a year yet. People who say "don't go to the doctor or take medication." That just shows how...

    LisaNICUrn replied to Jenna Arsenault's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Oh, no I understand, as a BSN prepared RN that it's not specific to the covid vaccine, and that vaccines aren't an antidote. Studies have recently proven that the viral load for vaccinated and...

    LisaNICUrn replied to Jenna Arsenault's topic in Disaster Preparation

    COVID: It's Time to be Outspoken

    LisaNICUrn replied to Jenna Arsenault's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Why do they need to be vaccinated when all it can possibly do is lesson their symptoms if they get sick? If they get covid (whether vaccinated or not) they can still spread it to you, and you (whether...

    I'm Done

    LisaNICUrn replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Everyone has a right to choose what they put in their body. Your vaccine? That doesn't even last 6 months before you need a "booster" because you're no longer protected? Or the chance of you having a...

    LisaNICUrn replied to pinkdoves's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Congratulation. Well your orientation will probably be 12-16 weeks depending on what level NICU you are at. NICU is different from any other unit. What should you expect. Well my "normal" shift...

    LisaNICUrn posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'm at a loss for words and feel so discouraged and like a complete failure as a NICU nurse and am doubting myself as a nurse right now, wondering if I'm really capable of doing this job. I work in a...

    Oppositional defiant disorder

    Just wondering what the child/adolescent psych units do to treat their ODD patients. Not what meds or things like that but what do the nurses to do care for them when they are in the hospital. I work...

    New Grad Struggles Want Psych Nursing

    LisaNICUrn replied to KenyakeoniRN's topic in Psychiatric

    Well I for one knew I didn't want any traditional bedside nursing. I started out in psych and went to NICU for 3 years, and now I'm going back to psych. I missed it tremendously. I did travel nursing...

    will it get any better?

    LisaNICUrn replied to gintama's topic in Psychiatric

    Hi, I truly hope it gets better for you. Are you understaffed every day? Is management in the process of filling positions or does it seem that that's the norm and nothing is going to change? Like...

    Registered Nurse VS Psychiatric RN

    Registered Nurse VS Psychiatric RN

    LisaNICUrn replied to LisaNICUrn's topic in Psychiatric

    Did you not read the entire post? I was not, by any means, trying to demean "pill passing." And my patients don't normally go to a nursing home. I wasn't looking down on "pill passing." I was speaking...

    My first assignment was to Alaska. Like you, it was pretty short notice, and I didn't have money saved up, so I took the company housing. It was a nice 1 bedroom apartment. Nice area, close to the...
