  1. Nurses Deleting Orders to Reduce Charting

    macawake replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Ha ha SilverBells, you are incorrigible ? I’m curious to see how many posters will take this seriously and also be suitably offended from hearing about nurses who to such an astounding degree...

  2. I got a counseling letter because I refused to help another staff member with her personal problems?

    macawake replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Well, you do you. I reckon we’ll just keep seeing a new thread every couple of weeks about some friction you have in your place of work. It doesn’t affect my life whether you get on with...

  3. I got a counseling letter because I refused to help another staff member with her personal problems?

    macawake replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly DK123, judging by this and previous threads you’ve started you do seem to be the center of an inordinate amount of drama involving social interactions with your coworkers. You can be...

  4. Omicron Variant Update

    macawake replied to J.Adderton's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There a many more Covid variants than I think most people are aware of. The ones that we often hear about on the news and media in general are the five variants that have been designated...

  5. Tricks to getting an Spo2 reading on a difficult patient

    macawake replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm.. I was wondering the same thing. While it’s always better to call one rapid too many rather than wait too long, did the nurse try to check the patient’s pulse in any other way than...

  6. If You Quit Your Job Rather than Get a Vaccine, What is Your Specialty?

    macawake replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is a fact. It might not be a fact that those who try to spread vaccine hesitancy feel overly ecstatic about but nonetheless, it is accurate. This is anecdotal, but my coworkers are 100%...

  7. I’m Disgusted and Disturbed

    macawake replied to angeloublue22's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I’m very sorry that you had to experience this. After eating your post I’m angered and saddened by the fact that a person was treated this way by healthcare ”professionals”. I agree...

  8. I’m Disgusted and Disturbed

    macawake replied to angeloublue22's topic in General Nursing

    I agree 100% ?? Some patient populations can be quite challenging to deal with but that’s not a valid reason to practice poor nursing/medicine or for dehumanizing a

  9. Finding Churches that Support Fighting COVID19

    macawake replied to FlameHeart's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I was just going to comment on the Covid aspect of this thread but it seems I’m unable to get past that T-shirt… Particularly the part about man = knight in armor with a big sword; leader and...

  10. Vaccination Mandating

    macawake replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Oh trust me, I know.. Most of the time when I reply in the Covid-19 threads, my post isn’t really aimed at the poster I’m responding to. I guess it bugs me to see a nursing site inundated with...

  11. Vaccination Mandating

    macawake replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is why I’m convinced that the Youtube videos and linked abstract was only posted here as an attempt to scare people off the vaccines. Any nurse would know that if what the researchers have...

  12. RN Jobs That Do Not Require Covid Vaccine

    macawake replied to TraumaRN52's topic in Disaster Preparation

    A vaccine that offers 95% or 86%, or any similar high number of protection against hospitalization and death is very much worth taking. And having a shorter period of time when an infected person is...

  13. I'm Done

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

    Ka-ching! Several posts accusing OP of being angry and hateful. Most by new members or posters who don’t participate regularly in other than the Covid subforum. Not one iota of compassion...

  14. RN Jobs That Do Not Require Covid Vaccine

    macawake replied to TraumaRN52's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You posted that nurses like myself who promote vaccines are people who also abuse their patients (threatening patients with restraints for no other reason than the patient being rude to the nurse),...

  15. COVID: It's Time to be Outspoken

    macawake replied to Jenna Arsenault's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We haven’t had a pandemic like Covid in a hundred years. The pandemic has disrupted the entire world, and has had a huge negative effects on people’s lives and the economy. ”The world” has...

  16. COVID: It's Time to be Outspoken

    macawake replied to Jenna Arsenault's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That is not correct. Public health authorities in all the Nordic countries recommend that all persons of eligible age, barring medical contraindications, get vaccinated. All persons include males...

  17. RN Jobs That Do Not Require Covid Vaccine

    macawake replied to TraumaRN52's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Hardy har har… Unlike OP who’s only tossed out numbers with nothing to back them up, at least ”our side” actually posts sources to back up our claims. In this thread it’s been links to The...

  18. No autopsies allowed for covid positive deaths?

    macawake replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This right here is why I don’t think murdering someone and trying to blame it on Covid, will make for a very exciting or plausible murder mystery. If the Medical Examiner works the same way in the...

  19. No autopsies allowed for covid positive deaths?

    macawake replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That’s what I suspect as well. The title of the thread seems rather misleading to me. I’m assuming that it isn’t correct to claim that the autopsies aren’t allowed; I.e. forbidden, but...

  20. What do you think about with current News and Opinions?

    macawake replied to guest1163268's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I agree subee. There are likely vaccine hesitant people of all political persuasions, but it would be strange if there weren’t more among those who heard this every time they turned on their

  21. If you didn't have to bite your tongue?

    macawake replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    That’s fine Emergent. You don’t have to answer the questions I asked you if you don’t want to. But I didn’t bring up a new subject matter so I don’t know what thread it is you think...

  22. If you didn't have to bite your tongue?

    macawake replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Why don’t you go back to my first post in this thread and see if this is an accurate description of it. The post wasn’t self-congratulatory. That’s simply your perception of it. And it...

  23. If you didn't have to bite your tongue?

    macawake replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    By a thred’s post that you loved was directed at me. That would logically mean that I’m the only one who’d have reason to be hurt by it. If you think that I’m going to be hurt by it, why not...

  24. If you didn't have to bite your tongue?

    macawake replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Why would anyone’s feelings get

  25. If you didn't have to bite your tongue?

    macawake replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I think I lost my filter sometime during my previous career. Those shifts spent at the police station, being in charge of the arrest cells, dealing with extremely absurd and often violent behavior,...
