    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...

    Drug manufacturing shift to US

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Canada has managed its finances much better than the United States. Their standard of living is still excellent. I've heard that their national debt is

    Drug manufacturing shift to US

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    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

    This is just like flu

    Emergent replied to Guest219794's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The economic impact on the rest of America is a very big part of this discussion. Economic damage to people will also cause a myriad of Health problems. It's all part of the equation. There are a lot...

    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...

    Medical professionals counter coronavirus lockdown protesters

    Emergent replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There is actually a lot of new data pointing to the fact that large portions of the population have already dealt with this virus. Therefore, the death rate is pretty small. Herd immunity is already...

    Medical professionals counter coronavirus lockdown protesters

    Emergent replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There is an obnoxious right wing aspect to these protests. I joined a facebook page started to try to get the economy of my state opening up. I'm in favor of loosening up this quarantine for economic...

    There's "no evidence" coronavirus survivors can't be reinfected, WHO says

    Emergent replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I hope you don't mind me quoting you. Thanks for posting this. I had to figure out how to use the ignore button recently. I kept getting quoted by someone that I really didn't want to interact with. I...

    What do you think of this staffing agency being sued by nurses for allegedly misleading them on NYC travel contracts?

    Emergent replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Disaster Preparation

    People act like they are such heros to go to NYC. But, no one quits their nursing home job to make $13,000 a week for altruism. Did anyone expect a walk in the park? That was foolish. You had better...

    This Covid19 has livened up Allnurses

    Emergent posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'll have to say, covid-19 has made this site a lot more interesting. There are some good discussions going. I'm glad that allnurses is nourishing such interesting

    Protecting a child during Covid

    Emergent replied to Corbin Dallas's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Children do not get seriously sick from this covid-19, except in very rare cases. That is evidence based information. All data points to the fact that the people seriously hurt by this virus are...

    Kern County ER Docs C-19

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thanks for taking the time to watch this, it's a rather long video. It was sent to me on facebook by two different friends, one is a lefty and one is a righty, and they both took this seriously which...

    ... we don't care... about nurses.

    Emergent replied to wedontcare's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There are some loudmouths protesting, yes. But many are merely justifiably concerned about the economy, their livelihoods, businesses. I'm seeing a lack of empathy from both sides. I've seen, on the...

    Due to the Coronavirus, are freed prison inmates going to malinger their way into psychiatric hospitals?

    Emergent replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There are a large amount of people who know how to play the system. These are people with nothing to lose. Because we are always bending over backwards to help people, they figure it out pretty...

    Why not quarantine McDonald's and ban soda pop?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    E all have our guilty pleasures. Moderation is key. Fortunately, no shortages of craft beer.

    Why not quarantine McDonald's and ban soda pop?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The problem is that the government is already in debt and now is bailing everybody out. Who's going to bail out the government? Nobody has any reserves. I posted on our community page that I was...

    Why not quarantine McDonald's and ban soda pop?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Some people might say it's over reach for the government to force everybody to stay home too. The vegan thread was just because vegans annoy me when they talk about it all the time and try to push it...

    Nursing Homes. The bodies are just pilling up.

    Emergent replied to xanderx's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't think allowing people to die a natural death is at all equivalent to Adolf Hitler's mass murder of millions. That is a ridiculous comparison. People should be allowed to have a different...

    Emergent replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Hospitals are closing all over the United States. This has been a quiet crisis that hasn't gotten a lot of press attention. The healthcare system is straining under the weight of bureaucracy, billing...

    Why not quarantine McDonald's and ban soda pop?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As a serious rebuttal, we were told that the quarantine was to keep the hospitals from being inundated with patients all at once. There was a stated realization that most people would get exposed to...
