  1. My boyfriend is still unvaccinated

    OUxPhys replied to vio's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As a guy I can tell you men won't change. Not for you, not for anyone. I think it's pretty obvious he doesn't want to get one. Like others have said you have to look at what you want out of life. If...

  2. This job or that job? Cardiologist or Hospice?

    OUxPhys replied to Kbroom's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like they are desperate if they want to keep talking salary. That's a red flag IMO. Im a little biased because my background is in cardiology and I think you made the right choice. Id rather...

  3. Does Nursing Cause Weight Gain?

    OUxPhys replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah. Night shift can cause people to snack out of boredom. Stress levels are high (which ultimately leads to weight gain). I left bedside for a M-F gig and I can now exercise regularly and eat...

  4. Is Anonymity Important to You?

    OUxPhys replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely it's important. If current and former employers knew who was posting what about their facilities you know they would come after them legally or punish them at

  5. Ageism in Nursing?

    OUxPhys replied to Guest1176712's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't see this at my hospital (where compared to other area hospitals mine has a lot of floor nurses with a lot of experience....which is a great thing). I do know a couple of the area hospitals,...

  6. Fear of Floating | Life of a Nurse

    OUxPhys replied to JeanstarMSN's topic in General Nursing

    All I see is an article saying what hospitals should do and we all know they do the opposite. I will say though that when I did float I had no problem opening my mouth if I felt I was getting the raw...

  7. Vaccination Mandating

    OUxPhys replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Now you're moving the goalposts. COVID is an infectious disease (as are the ones I mentioned above). Your whole argument is the loss of freedom to choose. So if you are pro-choice for covid...

  8. Vaccination Mandating

    OUxPhys replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Interesting. So you're comfortable with making the military vulnerable to disease as well as school children and bringing back diseases like smallpox and polio all in the name of freedom eh?...

  9. How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    OUxPhys replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not many tbh. Our hospital actually has a high vaccination rate. I tell ya what though. There is one nurse who didn't want the vaccine . Well her kids may have gotten it and so she has had to stay in...

  10. Vaccination Mandating

    OUxPhys replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So you are against the military mandating vaccines and public schools mandating

  11. Anyone taken a pay cut for sanity?

    OUxPhys replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Yep! Left the floor for a M-F gig. I lost about $800/month but it was worth it. No

  12. The Art of Delegating | What Nurses Do

    OUxPhys replied to JeanstarMSN's topic in General Nursing

    Can't delegate when you don't have someone to delegate to or they end up not doing it correctly or at all. Better off getting it done

  13. Yes, I'm Vaxxed But...

    OUxPhys replied to grammieRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes. We should make obesity illegal. While we're at it let's make drugs and doing drugs illegal so that frees up ER roo-wait, drugs are already illegal? Huh. Then why are ERs clogged with drug users?...

  14. Yes, I'm Vaxxed But...

    OUxPhys replied to grammieRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Even MI pts aren't being treated due to the unvaccinated occupying all the ICU beds ?

  15. Yes, I'm Vaxxed But...

    OUxPhys replied to grammieRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Except that only applies to a medication for that particular pt. Refusing your blood pressure meds affects only you. It doesn't cause me to get high blood pressure. There was a supreme court case...

  16. Pity Party - US Hospitals Hit With Nurse Staffing Crisis Amid COVID

    OUxPhys replied to JKL33's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No the crisis is and always has been the result of administration. All covid did was finally expose them. Too long they treated nurses like an expense and a burden and now that nurses have had enough...

  17. To Care for Him Who Has Borne the Battle: Veteran Care in Community Hospitals

    OUxPhys replied to Ellen720's topic in General Nursing

    The VA needs to update alot of their hospitals. They need to fill the thousands of vacant physician openings as well as nurse openings. They also need to become more efficient. All of these factors...

  18. Do you think you are a "hero"?

    OUxPhys replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No. Im a vet and I hate they call me a hero for that too. Im

  19. Which Religions Exempt Covid Vaccinations?

    OUxPhys replied to Jordee's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So a fellow nurse works PRN at a private school as a school nurse. Every year she has to make sure the kids are up to date on vaccines. There are two religions that she has seen that has an exemption:...

  20. Using Your Nursing Credentials to Validate Anti-Vaxxer Theories

    OUxPhys replied to Helen Crump's topic in Disaster Preparation

    IMO, if you are a licensed medical professional spreading misinformation on Youtube, TikTok, Twitter, facebook, etc then you should have your license suspended and/or removed. There has to be some...

  21. The US is Officially Nuts: Judges now telling hospitals how to treat COVID patients

    OUxPhys replied to Anonymous865's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This really opens a can of worms. Can courts force doctors to do procedures because the family wants it? Can the courts force doctors to prescribe medicine even if the doctor advises against it...

  22. How long should I stay on a unit I don’t like?

    OUxPhys replied to Elizabeth1414's topic in General Nursing

    Wait a full year then jump

  23. RN Doing Non-RN Duties

    OUxPhys replied to NurseAnnie123's topic in General Nursing

    I would be careful. Like most of the time if something does happen they will look to blame the nurse regardless if it is their fault. This is the BS hospitals keep getting away with. Instead of hiring...

  24. Being lax with PPE because of full vaccination status

    OUxPhys replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Im all for PPE but why send them home to change? Covid is airborne. TB is airborne and you aren't required to wear a gown. It's been established that the primary mode of transmission of covid is...

  25. Covid and Non-Covid on Same Floor?

    OUxPhys replied to P IV's topic in Disaster Preparation

    On the covid floor at my hospital the nurses take care of covid and non-covid pts. Eventually it will be like
