  1. 200,000 people have died from Covid-19 in the US (so far)

    DesiDani replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Some healthcare workers are not working during shutdown. So it isn't accurate to assume that all nurses are working despite the pandemic. Plus this may last for a yr more so it will be...

  2. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

    DesiDani replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I wear a mask when out all the time. While out I see A LOT of people half A wearing their masks. Wearing a mask greatly reduces your chances, it doesnt 100% prevent your

  3. Do you have a charge nurses who are afraid of that one RN

    DesiDani posted a topic in General Nursing

    The RN who ALWAYS loudly protest any and all assignments that don't make them happy. So when a new patient is assigned the scared CN will avoid giving that patient to the Special RN and will give it...

  4. Be honest, when do you start working on your CEUs?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I know huh, but it's true. Some on my unit will share. I've been asked, I politely say no. Some accept it, while some get offended "why not?" I don't casually say at work that I've finished my CEUs...

  5. Be honest, when do you start working on your CEUs?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I do know some who have their kids (high school) or spouses finish their CEUs. That's obviously

  6. Be honest, when do you start working on your CEUs?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Oh you mean the "How to make a paper swan from a patient's dinner menu": 1 CEU

  7. Be honest, when do you start working on your CEUs?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    They still could beg you to tell them the answers if they bought the exact same package. I imagine Dr. House paying some resident to completed his CME for him or arguing why he shouldn't have to...

  8. Be honest, when do you start working on your CEUs?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Then there are those who never do theirs, gambling on the hope that they will never get an audit. I know plenty of people like that. They say "I've never been audited in YEARS, I'm not doing any...

  9. Should patients all patients in every unit have to wear masks while in the hospital?

    DesiDani posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    Including those on ICU units. On my M/S unit they only have to wear them while being transported or if they are ambulating on the unit. What about if they are in their rooms and they are in a shared...

  10. Be honest, when do you start working on your CEUs?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have sympathy for those who beg others to give them answers to their completed CEUs, when a suspension is on the line for them. I don't share my CEUs. Why should I, you had 2 yrs just...

  11. Be honest, when do you start working on your CEUs?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I need to do that, but that goal doesnt last a week after I

  12. Why is it called the nurses’ station when it should be called the CNAs’ station?

    DesiDani replied to JJBookman's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Wow?!?! Um will CNAs are Nurse Assistant so I assume it is fitting. Wouldn't you prefer that if the CNA isn't doing anything to be close to the nurse station, instead of far away or outside? Also...

  13. What are your covid + medical floor/non ICU nurse patient ratios? And other questions..

    DesiDani replied to justjRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I work on a MS floor. We do have units that are sort of designated COVID units (rule out/positives), but they may still have other patients. The only thing is the COVID wings are separated by some...

  14. Your thoughts on Florence Nightingale?

    DesiDani replied to londonflo's topic in General Nursing

    I read that she preferred the company of men over women. She didn't have a good opinion of women, Ironic since she herself was a

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    My job offers "Nursingcenter.com" for free, guess they have a special deal with

  16. Has anybody else switched from an RN job to a CNA job?

    DesiDani replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    Why don't you be a CNA instructor? Then you can be a RN and at the same time teach student CNAs, you can give them the RN perspective

  17. What is a BLM medic and what are their qualifications?

    DesiDani posted a topic in General Nursing

    I saw TYT and they said a BLM medic attempted to offer aid, but she was pushed aside along with her supplies. Who can call themselves a medic and can such a medic act in all medical

  18. CDC states only 10,000 patients died DIRECTLY from Covid

    DesiDani replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    My bad. Thanks for the respectful response ? Regardless of the why. They still have it. So they still have those issues

  19. Now has Covid, thought it was a hoax

    DesiDani replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Very cautious people who never thought it is a hoax can still get COVID. On my unit a few RNs and CNAs got COVID and they are very strict with their mask wearing, PPE, and washing hands. So you never...

    DesiDani replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    More concerned for COVID over underlying conditions. What

  21. CDC states only 10,000 patients died DIRECTLY from Covid

    DesiDani replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Not sure how you twisted that around. Anyway, people should still worry about their other health conditions and not just COVID. I mean wouldn't help if ALL medical preventable conditions were cared...

  22. CDC states only 10,000 patients died DIRECTLY from Covid

    DesiDani replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Is the CDC telling people not worry about underlying conditions, only covid? If you wear a mask your uncontrolled diabetes won't kill

  23. Do you ever feel guilty for calling in for reasons other than being ill

    DesiDani posted a topic in General Nursing

    You had a crappy run the night before, so you call in, leaving your unit short . Sure mgt should hire more staff, but that won't make them

  24. What is your minimum base pay on Covid-19 unit???

    DesiDani replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Where I live CNAs make $22 an hour and in some hospitals up to $25. I believe cost of living per state matters too. I was told at my place new RNs make $33 per hr. What's the use of moving up if in...

  25. What is your minimum base pay on Covid-19 unit???

    DesiDani replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The COVID units don't get a pay increase. Not the CNA, RNs, or critical care units. Which I think is wrong. I don't think it right for units who are not designated to have positive or rule out to get...
