    Nursing and Sign Language

    Kitiger replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    At that pace, I could go . . . 3 steps . . . possibly 4! Now, walking, I'm fine. I normally walk a couple miles/day, plus 100 miles/month on my AirDyne bike. Sorry. We're supposed to be...

    Nursing and Sign Language

    Kitiger replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing and Sign Language

    Kitiger replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Do you think Biden can fulfill his promise to vaccinate 100 million people in his first 100 days?

    Kitiger replied to DesiDani's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I think the idea of giving out only the first dose - with the second dose to happen "sometime" and not as it was done in the phase 3 studies - is a poor idea. It isn't following the science....

    Would this covid prep doc help?

    Kitiger replied to dontknowmuchaboutanything's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It will take me a while to digest this. Some of the suggestions are not likely to be practical, for instance, "- remove PPE for 15 minutes every 2 hours (if possible, or 4 hours max) - drink lots...

    How to do one-person turn for quadriplegic / trach/vent Pt?

    Kitiger replied to allthesmallthings's topic in General Specialties

    In one home, I use a slightly different kind of draw sheet. It's a piece of satin-like fabric (slippery) that is large enough to fold once and cover the entire bottom sheet. The waterproof bed pad...

    I work for at least one agency where the Program Director (the person above the nursing supervisors) is very involved, up to date, and helpful. The nursing supervisors are great, too. I must...

    I took the first vaccine offered, knowing that it took two shots. Now they say I can't have the second shot for 3 months? Should I have waited and maybe gotten a vaccine that only needs one shot...
