    Dealing with panicking co-workers

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

    This HCW does not want the serology testing or tracking or tracing, or special card issued. It is my decision. I just want to be done with the

    Mandated to serve

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

    This sucks, I'm sorry. In my home country the healthcare workers are also mandated during emergency. Even the

    Famous person as patient?

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

    I had this doc who wanted a special treatment... she did not receive a special treatment she wasn't even famous just an arrogant jerk of a doctor as a

    Does it annoy you when you see employees with little to no direct patient care wearing much needed PPE

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

    No, it does not annoy me. They can walk around all covered in plastic. People in the grocery stores that wear gloves and bandanas over their face annoy

    Dealing with panicking co-workers

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

    Need I say, I am disappointed in the society as a whole. I am sure I already had COVID-19. What did the people in the Middle Ages do during the plague? They had no TVs, no phones, no social media. Yet...

    Is it wrong to turn down a shift?

    BSN-to-MSN replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in Disaster Preparation

    With all due respect, it is easy to say "quit your job". Having a child to take care of requires some kind of job. Having no support network is

    Is it wrong to turn down a shift?

    BSN-to-MSN replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Please, don't feel bad. If you were cancelled due to pandemic, picking up extra shifts is not a part of your job. You have to look out for your child first. Do not ever be sorry you did not pick extra...

    Nursing Is No Longer Worth It

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

    Newsflash! I also don't care for my hospital administration. Fake smile them and do my thing. Never-ever feel guilty for calling in either. So sorry you are disappointed in nursing

    Are Big City Hospitals Really Getting Hit With COVID-19 Pts?

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

    We are affected here. About 20-something patients in the hospital of a hundred beds, a dedicated unit, and thinking of converting another. It is tiresome to care for these patients, PPE on and off, no...

    Home health nurse working as a maid?

    BSN-to-MSN replied to mzsuccess's topic in Home Health

    Think of quitting if at all

    Difficult doc

    BSN-to-MSN replied to missourinurse2b's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Please, use paragraphs. In 11 years, this is the first time you see and arrogant MD? I say, that's pretty darn good. Anyways, he is this way because of HIMSELF, nothing to do with you. Tell him you...

    To mask or not to mask

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

    Universal masking now in my hospital. Our facility gave us cheap masks on the way in, a brown paper bag to keep it there for a week! We are expected to wear a mask while entering the building, so this...

    To mask or not to mask

    Haha, running with a mask on makes for a very short of breath

    Can I Refuse to Work If My Facility Does Not Have Proper Personal Protective Equipment?

    BSN-to-MSN replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What oath? I even skipped the pinning ceremony, took a test, and they gave me my licence. No oath there. I am not a millennial or a baby boomer, so there, quit generalizing and go take care some COVID...

    Can I Refuse to Work If My Facility Does Not Have Proper Personal Protective Equipment?

    BSN-to-MSN replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Job abandonment is not the same as patient abandonment. A nurse can quit at will after the report was given. Giving a notice and working for 2 more weeks without proper PPE? Yeah,

    To be a coward, or to be a fool?

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

    I am sorry, but you went into that job full of hopes and dreams. And now all that is crashing. It will pass, though. You will awaken and see how the hopes of helping your patients by being there for...

    I don’t have kids

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

    It's their own anxiety and fears in those comments. It is hurtful to you, and you are keeping it in by not saying anything back. Good for you, I would tell them a few things back, though, and that...

    Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

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

    Yeah, our hospital system sent out email last night saying: " We are going to ask hospital staff and outpatient locations to wear a surgical mask for the whole shift". Now I will probably need to dip...

    Am I a coward for going on FMLA due to COVID?

    BSN-to-MSN replied to ML1376's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is true. Especially the managers part. Fake, fake, fake. They say they care, but in reality they care about their numbers. Floor nurses are just bodies that patients get assigned

    Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

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

    Our hospital offers incentive pay to pick right now. Extra 15 an hour, plus if one goes into overtime, then more. I guess one can call it hazard pay.I looked today, and the only openings are on the...

    Unreasonable Risks are not part of the job

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

    I think that once report is taken, the nurse has to care for the patient. Sadly, also true even if no appropriate PPE. This is why if I am at home, I have no patients, and ignore staffing office when...

    Boyfriend wants me to stay away

    BSN-to-MSN replied to LauRN3367's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm sorry, that does make you feel awful. If it was me (personal opinion here!), I would dump the boyfriend. He has the right to be selfish, you have the right to move

    Exposed to patient positive with coronavirus

    BSN-to-MSN replied to IRN2011's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes, sounds about right. This is what management told us as well. We had a man with respiratory symptoms, he later spiked a fever, and THEN it was decided to swab him, but not before the entire staff...

    Coronavirus and Pay

    BSN-to-MSN replied to Marianna5's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I wonder how safe are these "pop-up daycares"? Who is caring for children? How do I know if they are any good, have child CPR? How do they keep track of them? I feel like I would be worried if my kid...
