   KSinMT replied to EDnurseAmen's topic in Disaster Preparation

   KSinMT replied to EDnurseAmen's topic in Disaster Preparation

   I haven't read through all the comments, but just wanted to answer the question. Me personally I chose to NOT get the vaccine. I have not had Covid, even after working in a Covid unit for weeks. I...

4. Should every healthcare worker in the hospital wear full PPE if working with patients regardless of the unit

   KSinMT replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

   No to full PPE, regular surgical masks yes. I'm on the fence about weekly testing, but lean toward no. Maybe in hot

5. Is anyone else holy crap concerned?

   KSinMT replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

   Why can't people be accountable for themselves and their own choices? If Trump jumped off a bridge, then others did the same thing, is it his fault those people made their own choice to also jump off...

   KSinMT replied to theoneandonly's topic in Disaster Preparation

   You cannot fairly state these are all facts and I'm sorry, but I find it very disheartening to see a nurse spreading this kind of fear and misinformation. The fact is statistically most people who get...

   I work in an LTC and if any of our employees answer "yes" to the question on their screening forms about household members having symptoms they are not allowed to work. They would have to quarantine...

   KSinMT replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Disaster Preparation

12. Reported to the board, don't know what to expect, help!

    KSinMT replied to arothfuss's topic in Nurses Recovery

13. PLEASE HELP!

    KSinMT replied to superlvn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That is terrible! So what is a person supposed to do, not work at all? So you can't work any job, even if it doesn't require licensure? I was able to work at any non-nursing job that didn't require a...
