    Is the Coronavirus beginning the breakdown of our society?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree. This global shutdown will hurt China very much, since what hurts its best customer, hurts them. I don't know what's going to happen when this really hits the third world. Although, with their...

    Is the Coronavirus beginning the breakdown of our society?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's an accident of nature if a mutated virus can damage the health of organisms. It's rather random. There are conspiracy theories out there about the origins of this one. I don't subscribe to them,...

    The thing is, I don't think it really has much to do let's go happens to be in the president's office, or what party is in charge. I think that we are depending on an infrastructure that is so...

    Is the Coronavirus beginning the breakdown of our society?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I believe this virus is just a taste of things to come. It's not really that virulent compared to something like Ebola. It's just picking off the weaker members of the herd. Most people skate by...

    Is the Coronavirus beginning the breakdown of our society?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm also worried about the solvency of our healthcare system, government, and the public. The government is handing out money it doesn't have, since it's totally in debt. The hospitals in my region...

    Did I make the wrong call?

    Emergent replied to FolksBtrippin's topic in General Nursing

    The LPN is one of those insecure nitpickers. She felt threatened by a newcomer. She knows her own corner of the world well, but probably is ignorant of the wider world of

    World Health Organization

    Emergent posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    What are the strengths and deficits of this organization? I've heard pros and cons lately. I do think, if there are problems, the time to address them is AFTER this crisis. I'd love to learn...

    Nursing Homes. The bodies are just pilling up.

    Emergent replied to xanderx's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think this coronavirus virus is bringing to light the fragility and weaknesses in a healthcare system that profits by artificially extending the lives of very unhealthy people. Let's speak bluntly...

    Should nurses be getting involved in the Reopen America protests nationwide?

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

    I'm in favor of reopening and letting nature take its course. The vast majority of people who succumb to this virus are medically fragile, either because they are over 80 years old, or because of...

    Drawing blood from IV line policies

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just finished a covid 19 crisis nurse short-term contract in an ER. At this ER we were expected to draw Labs from pre-existing IVs. At the last places I've worked that was a no no. We could only...

    Emergent replied to MarkMyWords's topic in General Nursing

    I took care of an older fellow years ago who had been a guitarist who played with a lot of the Bluegrass guys like Chet Atkins. He had heart problems, and he said it was because of all the speed he...

    Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    What do you think of the new bill passed in New York State requiring vegan options on the menu? It does appear to be a political endorsement of this diet over others, such as paleo, which had...

    Emergent replied to MarkMyWords's topic in General Nursing

    I had a dream that I took care of the Queen of England. She was very polite, and I got her IV on the first try thank God! Then one of our socially challenged, frequent flyers was brought into the room...

    COVID-19 and extinction of human species

    Emergent replied to DannyBoy8's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's ridiculous to assert that a virus that mainly kills old people, who are probably only alive because of modern medicine in the first place, will cause the human race to go extinct. Meanwhile, the...
