Then there is the whole Worker's Comp issue. If you aren't tested did you get it at work?

FYI I went to the latest news on Nina to see how she is doing and clicked on a page that took me to a Facebook community page titled Help Nina Pham. There was a link to GoFundMe by Christine Sweeney. I donated some $ and backed out of the site. I t...

HaHa I have Hiking EDRN's T-shirt saying on a coolie cup in my car!!

Whew! Where do I start? 1. I do not want to play the blame game of nurses vs. doctors. I feel in the face of this situation it is humans vs. ebola. Playing the blame game is a moot point now. There are more important things to worry about. 2. I wa...

Missy Write-- But what about Amber Vinson?? She had a low grade fever and still came up POSITIVE! RNSue

Dr. Craig Spencer has tested positive for ebola after a week with no new diagnosed cases in this country. He was out and about the day before--going bowling, riding in the subway and a taxi-- before being admitted to the hospital this afternoon with ...

Thinking of you and wishing you a speedy recovery. RNSue

What about STAFFING? None of the new recommendations say anything about ebola patients being one on one or two on one. Who can do all this donning and doffing and taking a shower AND have other patients? You KNOW the hospitals will push us to the...

A whole week with no new diagnoses!! Amber is negative! Nina, I am sending you prayers and well wishes! RN Sue

As far as we know, no one has been diagnosed with Ebola in the past 3 days in our country. I just want to say THANK YOU to whomever is in charge. Nina and Amber, Hang in There! ,,,>^.I.^ RNSue

6 DAYS! No new diagnosed cases of ebola. The lab worker on the cruise ship is cleared. Inside Edition just had Dr. Preston, author of "The Hot Zone" on their show. He said ebola can easily mutate. He also said that whoever was in charge of recomm...

OH NO THEY DIDN"T!-- I am reading the new CDC guidelines on USA Today. I'm not sure they are up to standards for where they SHOULD be yet. For example--either respirators with air blowing in OR N95 masks under the hood. N95 masks are not in level 4...

October 20, 2014. No new cases diagnosed in 5 days in the USA. Mr. Duncan's friends and family can sigh with relief. They have passed the 21-day mark. The unknown person in Emory will be discharged soon and the photographer is negative for ebola...

GOOD NEWS!!! The Spanish nurse has tested NEGATIVE for ebola! I'm optimistic that Nina and Amber are going to be OK too. Don't forget that, overall, people in developed countries have better health than people in third world countries. Maybe it is a...

Well, an UPDATE---- I'm having trouble with my email and I can see the titles of my emails but can't open the content. So I can see that I got a refund from the GoFundMe account on Facebook by Christine Sweeney but I don't know the details of WHY. ...

With him on his way to the unemployment office, Tom Frieden should take Dr. Varga, CEO of the Dallas Presbyterian Hospital, the parent company CEO, the Chief of Infectious Diseases and the Infection Control Nurse. Don't these people stay on top of t...

Just watched the speech from Ohio. I've read every comment on this thread and others and did not know until now that the 70-some healthcare providers who were known to be exposed to Duncan were still going about their lives as usual. So I gather t...

SOME THINGS TO THINK ABOUT... On a random non-medical news post someone brought up the fact that ebola is now in the sewer system in Dallas. The dog in Spain was put down because dogs can carry ebola without symptoms. What about rats, cats, opossum...

I think it would be a good idea and fun for any nurse who has been working for, oh let's say 15+ years, to post a message for the younger and/or less experienced nurses, so they can see where us veteran nurses are coming from. What do you think??? I...

MY personal anthem... She works HARD for the money do do do do So HARD for it, honey She works HARD for the money so you better treat her RIGHT!!!! Donna Sumner(?) The video had at least one nurse dancing in the street. Easily converted to cover bot...

LoriAlabamaRN, Thanks for resurrecting the post I started on 12/12/00. It was fun remembering things from back then. Allnurses even included it in one of their newsletters. I have one more: "I Remember When..." the level of professionalism was mu...

Also, "Wall of Silence: The Untold Story of the Medical Mistakes that Kill and Injure Millions of Americans" by Rosemary Gibson and Janardan Prasad Singh. A broad overview of the health care fiasco.

Had I not just finished reading "Wall of Silence: The Untold Story of The Medical Mistakes that Kill and Injure Millions of Americans" by Rosemary Gibson and Janardan Prasad Singh, I would have been shocked out of my drawers by these stories. But now...

I've read the two Readers Digest articles, the "Crisis in White" in the 8/29/03 issue of USA Weekend, and "America's Nursing Crisis" in the10/7/03 issue of Woman's Day. For the most part all the articles are very good. Did anyone else see the "advice...

In my parents phone book there is a listing for Jabloughmee, Haywood. Really, try looking it up in the Internet White Pages.
