    Finding a job with pending accusation

    Emergent replied to aspirationpneumonia's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry this happened to you. You were obviously thrown under the bus. You might want to settle in one place and get a regular hospital job. I've heard that travel agencies don't work with people on...

    VP Mike Pence visiting Mayo Clinic - Not Wearing a Mask

    Emergent replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Masks are symbolic in my opinion. I will use them ( once I'm off this self quarantine) in order to make other people feel at ease, and do the socially acceptable thing in this crisis. He's probably...

    This is just like flu

    Emergent replied to Guest219794's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is worse than flu, that's obvious. Whether it's sensible to live in fear and shut down society in response, however, is a reasonable thing to discuss. Everything is relative. Common cold, which...

    Kern County ER Docs C-19

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    @Hoosier_RN that is troubling. Unfortunately, entities such as Youtube are huge corporations. Their huge profits are dependent on support of the powers-that-be. The internet used to be a lot more open...

    Kern County ER Docs C-19

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    One thing that strikes me is that we were given the rationale that we would run out of ventilators. In the meantime, treatment protocols have changed. Statistics point to the fact that roughly 90% of...

    Here in Washington we are starting to loosen up a bit. Despite the initial drama of multiple deaths, we are doing fine and hospitals are actually in trouble because of low volumes. The governor has...

    And, do you know that they said that they would allow boating but no fishing. That's because of all the rich people in western Washington who have their boats on a dock. But ordinary people like me...

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The important thing is, the Governor has said we can go fishing now. That fishing ban pissed me off more than anything. What kind of fool doesn't know that fishermen are the ultimate social...

    I'm not sure what the name of them was. They just rolled it out while I was there. Every day brought a new change. It was a good experience over in western Washington. I think the information is...

    Kern County ER Docs C-19

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Interesting. When I was doing my covid-19 crisis RN job in an ER, we were doing a quick swab on anybody who got admitted. We were told and negative was definitely a negative, but a positive had a 30%...

    Drug manufacturing shift to US

    Emergent posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I was watching a bit of Face the Nation yesterday. It looks like there is bipartisan support to bring things like drug manufacturing back to the United States. This crisis really brought home the fact...

    @juniper222 thank you for the link to the video. That is an excellent presentation of data, and a very insightful analysis, in my opinion. He gives excellent insights, in a very dispassionate manner...

    DCFS opinions?

    Emergent replied to Rasberry_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    I doubt it. I don't have the statistics in front of me, but Europe is more liberal with alcohol for young people and I don't think our alcoholism rates are much different. In fact, they probably are...

    Drug manufacturing shift to US

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What about shifting manufacturing of many things to Mexico? In spite of some of the friction over the border and immigration, Mexico is really our ally. We have so many things in common. Mexican...

    I don't know about that site either. The article sounds legitimate. It might be that the pharmaceutical industry is lobbying hard to keep manufacturing in China. I'm sure that helps their bottom

    DCFS opinions?

    Emergent replied to Rasberry_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    Any ER doc worth his salt will drug screen a child with these symptoms. I don't doubt that he gave you a verbal order, it's very common in the emergency room. I don't know why people are doubting the...
