  1. President Trump was likely largest driver of COVID-19 misinformation “infodemic” per Cornell University study

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Hmmm.. This reminds me of when you a few posts back told me: with all respect, none of your business. Saying or typing ”with all respect”, doesn’t change the message which was ”none of your...

  2. President Trump was likely largest driver of COVID-19 misinformation “infodemic” per Cornell University study

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I’ve never been asked to send AN a copy of my nursing license either and I don’t believe that non-nursing individuals are forbidden to join and post. But don’t you think that when someone joins...

  3. President Trump was likely largest driver of COVID-19 misinformation “infodemic” per Cornell University study

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I’m still trying to figure out exactly which claim or claims made in this thread he thinks ought to be supported by references. Since the request for references wasn’t in response to any specific...

  4. President Trump was likely largest driver of COVID-19 misinformation “infodemic” per Cornell University study

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    It may not be any of my business what education you have, but it has a direct bearing on how I interpret your opinions on healthcare related matters. Seeing as you refer to the media as the...

  5. President Trump was likely largest driver of COVID-19 misinformation “infodemic” per Cornell University study

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    This is a nursing forum and the thread is about the Covid-19 pandemic. Trump’s relevance to this thread is his response to the pandemic. Matthew, are you a nurse? The reason I ask is because...

  6. Standard COVID Precautions

    macawake replied to rooftop-yawp's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Admittedly our knowledge about the SARS-CoV-2 is still limited and we are constantly gaining new information. But three reinfections in a single facility sounds unlikely to me. We have almost 40...

  7. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    No apology necessary ? Another poster started to use the strange acronym and I guess it just caught on. I refer to the Secret Service as the USSS if I don’t write their complete name....

  8. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    You really, really don’t have to have served in the military in order to realize that people don’t always do smart things.. DesiDani, you don’t know what experiences other posters have....

  9. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Absolutely nothing I wrote ought to lead you to the conclusion that I believe the Secret Service are only around for dinners and crowds. Your reply to me doesn’t make any sense. What do you...

  10. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    What does that you? Did you mean to ask what that tells us? I haven’t fact-checked your claim that the head of the detail volunteered but if true, I’ll tell you what it tells me. I...

  11. Who is responsible for lab results?

    macawake replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    You sound like a conscientious person. I think it’s good to always reflect on how we practice nursing. Analyzing situations and our actions, identifying areas that need improvement and learning from...

  12. RNs and CNAs how much time do you spend being a patient's personal pep squad

    macawake replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t really understand your question. I feel that there is a disconnect between the title of this thread and the additional questions in your post. Regarding the title, I’m not a cheerleader in...

  13. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I know this isn’t the politics part of AN but I still think the following clip is relevant even though it’s a political ad. (If the moderators feel differently, please remove it). I think the only...

  14. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Doesn’t make it any less accurate though. Both scenarios involve endangering others solely for self-gratification as opposed to something essential. It’s only far-fetched because most generals...

  15. Being written up

    macawake replied to Springdaisy04's topic in General Nursing

    The patient’s husband called the facility after his conversation with his wife had ended, and said that his wife had told him she’d been punched in the face by a member of staff. As I understood...

  16. RNs can a CNA save an RN's hide?

    macawake replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Is that your own modus operandi? If this is how things are at your place of work, it sounds rather toxic. If it’s been/being done to you, I’d consider changing jobs if possible. If it’s you...

  17. What's your opinion on nurses dating doctors?

    macawake replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    To answer your question, I don’t have an opinion. There are some people who will take advantage of naive persons in different ways. It’s not a particularly appealing trait, but it’s hardly...

  18. New CDC guidance says COVID-19 can spread through airborne transmission

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thank you for posting this ? I don’t really consider this ”new” information, but more of a clarification of what we know is true about many respiratory viruses. So what exactly are...

  19. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I know ? but that’s usually to keep stuff out. That poor security detail

  20. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Not in the U.S., but we give 6 mg once daily for 6-10 days. Generally for severe or critical cases requiring oxygen therapy or

  21. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    It’s kind of cute, and surely an indication of his genius status, that he seems to think that his presidential experience of n=1 is generalizable to the entire population. Never mind those +200,000...

  22. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Does he have a heart... ? ?

  23. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I’m sorry that you got infected and that your hospital doesn’t sound as if they have very stringent protocols in place. I hope that you’ve now made a full recovery! Take care

  24. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I’ve been wondering about the timeline. Is it accurate that he first became symptomatic late Thursday evening? If I’ve understod that correctly his disease seems to have progressed rather rapidly...

  25. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I personally don’t think that mask wearing is the Covid panacea. Social distancing, good hand hygiene and isolating when symptomatic, including mildly symptomatic, is at least as important....
