    Is this rude or is it just me?

    Emergent replied to AlmostThere19's topic in General Nursing

    If I know another nurse is busy with another patient (or maybe taking a dump), I will let the patient making the request know, "Your nurse is tied up with another patient at the moment, hang in there,...

    What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Emergent replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, @SummitRN What you say about subclinical cases of the flu is exactly what proponents of the vaccine claim, that if it doesn't prevent the flu, it will lessen the severity of it. I propose that...

    What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Emergent replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    Incidentally, I'm pretty sure autism has been ruled out as being caused by vaccines. There is strong evidence though, linking it to bacteria in the gut. I think that points to overuse of antibiotics...

    What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Emergent replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    That might be something worth investigating. I haven't had the flu in over 30 years. I had it once at age 17, and twice in my 20s. All 3 cases were knock you on your orifice, 103+ fevers, in bed for a...

    What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Emergent replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    There are a lot of intelligent, dedicated nurses, who are not the dreadful 'Antivaxers', who don't want to be required to get a flu shot. The difference with the flu shot is that you need to get one...

    Scab nursing?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    What about them? If there aren't enough scab nurses, what happens to them? Should the fact that patients need care either course the nurses do not go on strike, or does it justify scab nursing? You...

    Gloves at all times?

    Emergent replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Government is passing, in my opinion mainly symbolic, laws banning plastic grocery bags. Meanwhile, it takes the jaws of life to extract many products from their plastic packaging. And the medical...

    Managers: Remaining Objective with All Employees

    Emergent replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    It might be time for a general, stay off the phones for the most part during work rule. One part of nursing is that you don't get to watch all the football games since you have to work every other...

    Emergent replied to Guest219794's topic in General Nursing

    The article I read was your typical sensationalism that the media loves, that is entirely one-sided. They don't even list the actual cause of death. Probably autopsy results are pending. We get short...

    Is it possible for a manager to smile too often?

    Emergent replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Every person is different on how they interpret the world. More introverted people might find too much levity and smiling unnerving. I find the happy medium a nice place to strive to be. Some people,...

    Emergent replied to nursechilespice's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's interesting, although off topic, these regional variations of terminology. We call those pink pads, even though the linen service no longer provides pink ones. Now they are green or blue. They...

    You need to develop detachment. This man is a manipulative bully. Be more businesslike. When you say "it's resolved between us", it sounds like you are in an (abusive)

    Doctors offended by TV show about nurses

    Emergent replied to FullGlass's topic in General Nursing

    So, some opinionated people spouted off online. What else is new in the world? Nothing... I agree wholeheartedly that it's ridiculous to portray nurses as selfless saints. THAT is certainly fake...

    Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Nursy- I happen to agree with you but don't like the NY mandate because of its narrow scope, favoring and endorsing the plant-based over other, viable alternatives. I totally agree with you. The...

    Addressing Student Body Odor

    Emergent replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    I would think that eventually the student will catch on. I remember with my boys, until middle school I had to insist on bathing. All of a sudden I had to insist they leave hot water for others due to...

    Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    That's actually inaccurate. My cousin is on plant-based for health reasons. The Paleo adherents I've met eat like that for health reasons, because they believe the pre-agricultural diet is the one...
