    My Visit to China: Could This Be A Reason Why Coronavirus Started There?

    Emergent replied to Gadsale's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think that's what struck me wrong about the original article, the American triumphalism. I get tired of it. No matter how this virus developed it's here now. It needs to be dealt with. But, the...

    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

    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...
