    Employee treatment after exposure

    BSN-to-MSN replied to Ele_123's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is how we were back in March. Non-COVID unit, couple of positive patients with no isolation whatsoever, many employees exposed. I asked the manager: "Should we just wear masks?", she replied: "...

    Guns at the Bedside

    BSN-to-MSN replied to rnrazzil's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Being in ED or admitted to the hospital can be upsetting, worrisome, and anxiety producing. Or anger producing. People are not themselves. Add a gun at the bedside.

    Covid wedding... am I the bad guy?

    BSN-to-MSN replied to zoidberg's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm surprised you are asking for advice. He is your brother, go to the wedding. There is compromise- wear a mask, go alone. I would go to my sister's

    No Alcohol, More Activity for Cancer Prevention

    BSN-to-MSN replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    The barrier for me is diet. It is hard to eat balanced meals with a hectic schedule. Every week I try to do better but that fades away in light of other problems. With the COVID-19 pandemic, people...

    Massive Shortage of ICU Trained Nurses During COVID-19 Pandemic: The Need for Cross Training

    BSN-to-MSN replied to simba and mufasa's topic in Disaster Preparation

    With all due respect, that is a very generalized line. I, for example, am mystified with outpatient positions, I don't know how they do it, there is not much back up to count on. I would never think...

    Massive Shortage of ICU Trained Nurses During COVID-19 Pandemic: The Need for Cross Training

    BSN-to-MSN replied to simba and mufasa's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Hi, I don't know if this is BETTER idea, but sometimes it works. I was sent to the ICU to do team nursing a couple of times ( I am a PCU nurse), and my experience was 50/50. I was assigned nursing...

    Racism and Covid-19: The Unmasking of Two Pandemics

    BSN-to-MSN replied to Stacy Winters's topic in General Nursing

    Correct. Patients and nurses give out endless stereotypes when it comes to any unfamiliar cultures. I listen to it, and at some point just tell them to stop insulting me. I have heard the statement:...

    BSN-to-MSN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I am somewhere in-between. A new nurse practices with her own license. At the same time, the new nurse medicating a patient on someone else's team without even asking the preceptor is a no-no. But.....

    ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

    BSN-to-MSN replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing
