Due to a stutter I was the bullied. I work with a nurse who said she went to high school with a fellow nurse who she said was a bully. This nurse is nice, patient, and helpful. So how he was as a teen is not the reflection of his character today.

Worked in a casino. Dealer collapsed from a heart attack right at the table. While EMS was working on him the pit boss stepped over the EMS team and the downed dealer. Motioned for a new dealer to step up and the game only missed one beat. Life ...

We have been short in RNs and CNAs in all units of our hospital. This month I worked tons of OT. This week I am taking my 4days off. A friend asked me to come in when she's charge. I might for 6hrs, cause she is a hard work and a great CN. She recent...

" I'm vaccinated you ***** you have to take care of me, NOW!" Remember you can't deny treatment to the belligerent.

Nope.

Me thinks that some fully vaccinated people have a dangerous elitists mentality.

Comparing what? Vaccinated and the unvaccinated can both spread the virus. Going on about who can spread it more is a strawman and has nothing to do with my statement. Now if I claimed that the unvaccinated is least likely to spread it similar to the...

Rushed tested for COVID or claim that the patient is negative. I have no clue why it happens. Busy? I guess. Still is has happened a few times. Maybe the RNs in ER doing the tests aren't doing them correctly. When a pt comes to a unit and the nurse w...

Umm wrong. You are using a misinformation trope. I clearly said that immuned compromised can get covid from both the vaccinated and unvaccinated. Never said equally, you added that. By the way I checked my facts with the CDC and Clevland Health Insti...

At work someone pointed out that a dialysis tech was doing treatment in a patient room that was COVID positive, while only wearing a surgical mask. I don't know why. I assume that they didn't realize the room was isolated or the person was new. ...

You are forgiven my child. Now go in peace.

I like all matters of discussion. Cut and Paste articles, not so much. I want to hear from you, your thoughts, and opinions in your own words. 200+ responses. Yes!

I agree. Some are relaxed with the PPE because they are vaccinated. And remember there are those who cannot get vaccinated. These patients can get covid from the vaccinated AND the unvaccinated. So you get rid of the unvaccinated, leading to a h...

More concern should be for rushed tested patients from ER being transferred to a unit, instead of HCW who wear required surgical mask while on duty who may not be vaccinated. My last shift yet another patient had to be isolated cause a patient from ...

First, I am not pregnant nor have I ever been. Some coworkers who do have kids are balking at some coworkers who immediately go on light duty upon knowing that they are pregnant. They say they ran to their doctor so they didn't have to work. I've see...

Is there a point when vaccine/mask mandates can go to far? Can mandates never go too far?

In a post I mentioned my three strikes countdown. I give a job three chances and after the third I am usually gone. It not for petty things, but huge things. For example, a first strike at a nursing home years back was when I worked night shift on a...

Behavior and status are not equated?

Anyone and everyone can be rude. I'm connecting that why should pts be denied based on vaccination status. It is equating them to a truly belligerent pt. As for ER hold. When I float to ER on occasion a pt will be there. I never mentioned detox....

That's where we keep the entertainers until their performance is over. Amazingly when they don't have an audience they chill out.

That's ridiculous medical reasons or not.

I didn't think much of it until a few pointed it out. Besides I'd think seating down for 12hrs would be bad too if pregnant.

If someone is A&O with covid I don't understand why they are at the hospital. Home O2 and home visit is good enough. As for family in their home, that is on them. I had a friend who mom had TB when she was little. It was on her mom to have the ki...

Not all COVID positive patients on isolation in a hospital are on their death beds in ICU. Some are on med/surg units. Yes they are on O2, but they are alert, talking, and using their call lights. Did you think I wasnt going to point out that fact? ...

I wonder if units will have unvaccinated hcw not be assigned to COVID patients. Only have vaccinated hcw assigned to them.
