    Sainthood for going to NYC

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I didn't do this in NYC. It was a good experience that paid well. It wasn't the hellhole I've read about, just an ordinary ER trying to cope with ever changing protocols and

    DCFS opinions?

    Emergent replied to Rasberry_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    I'm also extremely sad at your lack of insight into the reality of life. God

    DCFS opinions?

    Emergent replied to Rasberry_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    An isolated moment of carelessness does not necessarily mean neglect. Let's say this was a car accident or a near-drowning where the parent should have been more vigilant or careful, but wasn't. Mom...

    Covid death rate 0.5-0.8% NYC data

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That is an interesting thought. I'd like to see some honest studies about that. Of course, some will come here and accuse you of not caring about the vulnerable, even though what you say is probably...

    VP Mike Pence visiting Mayo Clinic - Not Wearing a Mask

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

    Did anyone ask him about it? I saw the headline on a news site, but I guess it wasn't interesting enough for me to read article. It seems disrespectful of him to not wear a mask, even if he is...

    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...

    Why do some "Youtube doctors" say ventilators kill?

    Treatment protocols have shifted away from intubation with covid since outcomes were terrible. Now, aggressive oxygen support and positioning techniques have gained

    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...

    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...

    This is just like flu

    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...

    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...

    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%...

    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...
