  1. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    macawake replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If you read my post carefully you’ll see that I am a bit concerned. As far as I am aware, there is nothing magical about a three week interval. If someone is better educated on the...

  2. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    macawake replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think you did the right thing. As subee wrote, who knows when or if a one-dose vaccine will be approved. I know that I will take the vaccine the second it’s offered. It was only approved in the EU...

  3. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    macawake replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That’s what I thought because as I said, I do try to keep up with recent developments. Don’t you think that it would have been helpful if you’d included that fact in your first post? Do you not...

  4. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    macawake replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What do I think? If I’m honest I think that you are looking hard for reasons to become alarmed. I certainly am paying attention but perhaps drawing different conclusions than you appear to be....

  5. COVID Misinformation/Ignorance

    macawake replied to GS ED RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It might be harsh, but completely understandable. In my opinion you’ve earned the right to feel/think

  6. COVID Misinformation/Ignorance

    macawake replied to GS ED RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is so dumb it beggars belief. I saw one poster mention this infertility rubbish a couple of weeks ago. Seeing as an infertility evaluation is normally initiated (for women under 35) after one...

  7. COVID Misinformation/Ignorance

    macawake replied to GS ED RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There’s really no need to apologize. These past nine months have been extremely hard for many people and healthcare professionals like yourself working on the frontline have born the brunt of it. My...

  8. Nurses make me sick

    macawake replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    That about sums up my feelings as well. Plus I’m convinced that most of my patients are intelligent enough to not hold it against me if they happened to see a completely different nurse post...

  9. Nurses make me sick

    macawake replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    Not commenting on OP but addressing the questions about trolls in general. If you want to understand an internet troll you need to stop thinking like you and instead figure out what kind of...

  10. Huge Zoom Mistake....Nurse Instructors Caught!

    macawake replied to Pre.Nurse_tobe's topic in General Nursing

    Did you watch the recording and see the private conversation? I’m assuming it wasn’t just the targets of the professors’ ugly comments but also other students who witnessed this? Spot...

  11. Nurses make me sick

    macawake replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    Is it wrong that I find this oddly comforting...? Good call ?? I’ve avoided social media since its inception. Oh, and welcome back. I remember you from your previous equally flamboyant...

  12. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    macawake replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Herring, I do agree with the rest of your post but I have to confess.. those pictures don’t really do it for me ? I only agree with the third one. Both pants and masks are decent source control, but...

  13. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    macawake replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I’m curious about this. Confirmed reinfections are still as I understand it quite rare, yet you are the fourth or fifth poster I see on this forum saying that you’ve been infected by SARS-CoV-2...

  14. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    macawake replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Do they at least have a outdoors location or separate entrance for the Covid tests? In my opinion a grocery store seems like a supremely unfortunate choice for a Covid testing site

  15. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    macawake replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    But this isn’t really what the Barrington Declaration suggests, is it? Yours sounds more reasonable as you at least appear to think about actions aimed at preventing/slowing down the spread of...

  16. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    macawake replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Of course the Barrington Declaration method, enhanced or not, hasn’t been tried anywhere. I would be unethical. Sweden never had a strategy even close to the one proposed in the Barrington...

  17. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    macawake replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I believe that your proposed Great Barrington Declaration 2.0 appeals to you for primarily ideological reasons, not epidemiological. What you’re not hearing or taking into account is...

  18. Covid Vaccine

    macawake replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Gosh, I have no reason to suspect that my fellow posters are moles placed by the pharmaceutical companies. I’ve known most of them for years and they write posts on all sorts of different topics....

  19. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    macawake replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There is no doubt that lockdowns come at a cost, both in financial terms, liberty and in mental health. But attempting to minimize contacts between people when a pathogen is spreading unchecked in a...

  20. Covid Vaccine

    macawake replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I had a quick look at your post history and this isn’t the first time you’ve tried to scare people regarding vaccines. The rate of 1 in 35 (or rather 3,150/112,807) translates to...

  21. Could masks be another vector?

    macawake replied to guest584920's topic in Disaster Preparation

  22. How to Answer a Patient Who Asks: "Does God Exist?"

    macawake replied to S.I.C.'s topic in Spirituality, Religion

    You quoted a post of mine that was in response to OP’s statement that patients have a right to ask nurses questions about faith/religion. I’m trying to figure out how your reply to me that I’ve...

  23. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    macawake replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    How young? Is the over-thirty age group safe? No, that wasn’t a serious question. It was a reaction to you posting unscientific scaremongering **** You ”read something about”?!...

  24. I hope this is not true about colleague violence

    macawake replied to porscheXN's topic in General Nursing

    Aside from being semi-ancient, what type of article is this? Where was it published? Peer-reviewed? Does the article simply make the claim that ”studies consistently show...” without listing the...

  25. Covid 19 precautions or SARS-CoV-2 precautions?

    macawake replied to guest1143647's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well, technically speaking we implement precautions to prevent transmission of the pathogen SARS-CoV-2. In my opinion it’s more important that a facility is consistent when choosing how to...
