    Pt's wife just snapped at me

    Orion81RN posted a topic in Private Duty

    I've developed a bad habit of ordering McDonald's at work. I crave coffee and end up ordering it bc I can't get myself up earlier to make coffee at home. I asked my patient's wife if it was ok to...

    Coronavirus questions for home care

    Orion81RN replied to Kitiger's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think an educated guess is more accurate. Luckily I don't have to worry about it as I scheduled time off and don't have to be back for a

    Coronavirus questions for home care

    Orion81RN replied to Kitiger's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I remember in microbiolgy my professor telling us the biggest/main portal of entry for airborne and droplet viruses is the eyes. We touch our eyes with our hands repeatedly throughout the day. I'm...

    Coronavirus questions for home care

    Orion81RN replied to Kitiger's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Maybe I should post this under HIPAA, but, I'm curious. On the surface, this makes sense. BUT... HIPAA is based on need to know. Don't I need to know if I were exposed to the virus/disease? Wouldn't...

    Coronavirus questions for home care

    Orion81RN replied to Kitiger's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If I read the question correctly, it was really about our risk as nurses of becoming infected. And what the plan is. Not how the patient is going to get sick. Which of course would be by caregivers. I...

    Withholding paycheck

    Orion81RN posted a topic in Private Duty

    I am about to lose it. I started emailing my work then stopped because I will definitely be fired if I continue this email. My work took away my direct deposit benefits a while back because I was late...

    How would you improve the nursing profession? (beyond better staffing, higher pay, etc)

    Orion81RN replied to labordude's topic in General Nursing

    My classmates were learning with their assigned patients. I was completely left out of clinical that day. I worked as a CNA/sitter, so my instructor offered me up. She DID ask me. But it wasn't really...

    Orion81RN replied to labordude's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't so much as change an IV dressing in nursing school let alone a "complex" dressing change. Our school only had us take on a 3rd patient (2 patients) the last week of clinical. And for some...

    Orion81RN replied to labordude's topic in General Nursing

    True, but....I'm STILL not being taught. When do you have time for that being short staffed? I had strong physiologic and pharmacologic knowledge upon graduating but was one of the students who did...

    What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Orion81RN replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    You are not the same as OP, then. She is outright refusing the vaccine. Can you fathom what it would take for you to actually completely give up your career over your beliefs regarding a vaccine? To...

    I'm curious as to why you had to take his clothes. I've been in a handful of behavioral health facilities, including in the hospital, and it was never required. Just

    Orion81RN replied to guest1074638's topic in General Nursing

    I was simply explaining why there will be strong reactions to your opinion. I happen to disagree that it is mostly people who think things should be free. My mom thinks that way, too. That people feel...

    Well, if you haven't noticed, healthcare is a huge controversial political debate right now. Not to mention the way you stated, "and people think they want single payer healthcare," was

    Orion81RN replied to guest1074638's topic in General Nursing

    That really makes me wonder if I missed some of her comments. Because while I completely agree with the posters here, I wouldn't call her comments inflammatory. I find this post very interesting, but...

    What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Orion81RN replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, you mean bc you are FORCING that on us by not giving us a choice? How incredibly ironic. My strong belief to not be treated by an anti vaxxer bc in no world would I trust his/her judgement just...

    What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Orion81RN replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    Something tells me you are glad that others are "well with their spirit" enough so that you and your family can benefit from the herd immunity. I'm very curious how you are "well with your spirit"...

    Orion81RN replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    1) Fetal tissue is not in vaccines. The virus is GROWN IN the cells. 2) The viruses aren't even grown in the original cells. They have divided, (third generation) and THOSE are the cells used. 3)...

    What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Orion81RN replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    You are showing a very clear lack of even a basic understanding of how the vaccines are made. I can only conclude that you are in fact simply regurgitating what you have heard, not researched...

    Orion81RN replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    Great. Put your VENT patient at risk. You bet your butt if my family member were on a vent, I'd be VERY interested to know the nurse's anti vax beliefs and vaccine
