  1. Will nurses in the ER soon hear the following?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    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...

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

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

  3. Pregnant, when do you start light duty?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know. I don't want to sit for 12hrs. Some do. I guess they don't want to lose their PTO and still earn it. It is not like we live abroad with good maternity

    DesiDani replied to grammieRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'll take this red herring with some hot sauce. We have the chain of command at my job. I doubt that the charge nurse will find it imperative to pass it on. Besides it was my subjective observation....

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I expanded on your answer, just like many people expand on other questions, answers, and threads. Some state a simple POV and some cut and paste an ENTIRE news article. I don't know what else to tell...

    DesiDani replied to grammieRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    He was pretty harsh. I think the patient was one of his frequents. Berate would be a better word. So yelling with a little

    DesiDani replied to grammieRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    LOL. Yeah sure. Not going to answer that because it will be used as a red herring for why I didn't share my opinion, instead of the Dr's approach which was the point of my

    DesiDani replied to grammieRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Just recently a Dr, to me, strongly insisted that a patient be vaccinated during a start of shift visit. I personally didn't like his tone. I don't think his tactic was productive, it may have been....

  10. How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I know of a few from my unit. They give reasons like I'm taking zinc or the science isn't clear. Funny is that I doubt that they are crazed Republicans, because they are minorities from Hispanic to...

  14. How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I do. It will let the elephant in the room finally be noticed. Medical reasons or not, why isn't that person removed from their post or at least placed in a noncontact role. That person can...

  15. Being lax with PPE because of full vaccination status

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think it is too harsh, but I guess the Dr wants to send a message. Plus why is this zealous and COVID mandates are not? Going into a mrsa or c-diff room without PPE and then taking care of non iso...

  16. Being lax with PPE because of full vaccination status

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Why the Dr sends people home? They went into an iso room without PPE. Dr would demand they change their scrubs. I guess they could get new ones from ER, what I was told the Dr insist they go home to...

  17. Being lax with PPE because of full vaccination status

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

  20. At what point can mandates go too far?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm pretty compliant. I guess denial of services that crosses into complete isolation for individuals. Maybe denial of essential services. CNN reported that despite China's high vaccine output,...

  21. At what point can mandates go too far?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Because this is a forum that is open to all sorts of questions, even the hypothetical type. I think that is a good enough answer to your question, don't you

  22. President Biden thread

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

    Isn't that whataboutism? The last administration has been voted out. The but but but the last person did this or that is irrelevant at this point, don't you

  23. Covid and Hospitals: How are things now?

    DesiDani replied to CrunchRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My medsurg unit will have a 1/4 of the rooms for covid. They just put in those big air vents in the windows. It is only fair because other units were solely covid, now it is spread

    Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden all wanted to get out. The how falls on one

  25. President Biden thread

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

    Since this is a nursing site. I thought in nursing once you accept an assignment, how it is executed falls on the acceptor. "Well the last shift told me" Will be met with: "Why did you...
