    Emergent replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Health, Stress Management

    COVID Immunized Guilt

    Emergent replied to TravelNurseLady's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm being vaccinated solely to help with herd immunity, and hopefully delay the economic and societal collapse of the First World in my lifetime. I'm no conspiracy theorist, but in my state half...

    Emergent replied to Guest 1152923's topic in General Nursing

    Covid causing increased AMS in dementia patients

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

    Maybe Mother Nature is trying to tell us something. As far as PPE, washable gowns are the solution that my hospital has used. CAPRs, hand washing, carefully storing N95s have worked for

    Hospitals in Phoenix, San Diego and Denver! HELP

    Emergent replied to Madeline Connors's topic in General Nursing

    If you love the heat I'm sure there's something in Phoenix for you. San Diego is not a hot place because it's right on a large Bay and gets a lot of Pacific influence in the Summer. I don't know any...

    Hospitals in Phoenix, San Diego and Denver! HELP

    Emergent replied to Madeline Connors's topic in General Nursing

    A diploma degree is probably a no go in California. I'll bet Denver is a good choice. Phoenix is awfully hot in the Summer. I hear the climate in Denver is great. It's a mild 4 seasons one, according...

    allnurses' netiquette

    Emergent replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    People speak their minds too bluntly online, and other people like to jump all over it because it's fun to bash people. I've seen lots of Internet bullies on this site. Often there is not a lot...

    Doc Won't See Me Because I Treat Covid Patients

    Emergent replied to bitter_betsy's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There are covid+ people everywhere. The eye Dr office has a weak grasp of epidemiology. So ridiculous. More likely to get it using the credit card keypad at the supermarket. In my neck of the...

    Dealing With Noncompliant Patient, "Cherubs on My Coffin!": Nurse in Action

    Attending nursing school without an MMR due to autoimmune disability

    Emergent replied to Thomas Murray's topic in General Nursing

    It's my personal opinion that if someone has an autoimmune disorder, they should work outdoors, away from chemicals and toxins. Their immune systems just don't function properly. A lot of those...
