  1. Doctors Without Borders Physician Tests Possitive for Ebola In New York City

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to herring_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Distant versus immediate areas of contraction makes absolutely no difference in my opinion on this matter. The bottom line is that this man is a physician who has received exceptional training...

  2. Doctors Without Borders Physician Tests Possitive for Ebola In New York City

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to herring_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree. Even moreso when one considers that this physician has had training in protocols, indications, etc that far surpassed Nurses Pham and Vinson. And I've pointed out in other threads how the...

  3. Esme Needs Your Prayers and Well Wishes

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I'm hoping to hear of a speedy recovery, Get well soon, Esme! And here I thought that you were taking a couple of days off from posting. I feel

  4. Nurses and FB "news"

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to Julie Reyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Is there by chance a link to this article? I'd be curious to see

  5. No call No show but

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to bs63136's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If you have to call off, you must speak to an actual human being. Yes, this means putting up with scrutiny (dependent on the facility and the individual you speak to within it), and it's not...

  6. "Clipboard Guy": What's wrong with this picture???

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    He's not a nurse. From the article: 'Clipboard Man' Without a Hazmat Suit at Ebola Flight Explained - ABC News Apparently, because he isn't a nurse, he's immune to criticism. /eyeroll So, it seems...

  7. What type of test did you get during your job interview?

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to Mrs.RNindeed's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Some agencies will. However I avoid them as it looks wonderful when the pay rolls in... at least until you have to file taxes quarterly due to being labeled an independent contractor. It's migrane...

  8. URGENT: Are CDC Ebola Guidelines 'Good Enough'?

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Human behavior isn't difficult to understand in any of these cases. Duncan (patient 0), comes from an area of the world where the average annual income is 436 dollars. After saving up for and...

  9. What type of test did you get during your job interview?

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to Mrs.RNindeed's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I've had to take a couple of those as well. I really didn't think anything of it as I've always worked agency (now full time but previously part time). I'd swear they are all using copy/paste for...

  10. What to do about a low ball job offer

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to MostlysunnyRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Yep, this is what I'm afraid of. 13 years as an LPN. 11 of those years working in level 1 and 2 ER's. And another 10 years before that as an EMT/Tech. All of it as absolutely worthless as my...

  11. Nina Pham being transferred to MD

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes, this post is directly in line with what I am getting from friends close to the situation. Thank you for sharing this as I had some reservations about posting this

  12. Second ebola nurse "okay'd" to fly

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to babyNP.'s topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree, Ruby Vee. The vilification, pitchforks, and torches absolutely need to cease in reference to *both* our compatriots in arms (fellow nurses) and Mr. Duncan. It's very easy to second guess and...

  13. *rolling my eyes*

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to OhioCCRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well said. Thank

  14. Second ebola nurse "okay'd" to fly

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to babyNP.'s topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think a large part of the problem, MedChica, is Urbanization. Ebola infections were isolated in the past to more remote and smaller populations of people. People who did not routinely travel to...

  15. Dallas Presbyterian Nurse Interview

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to annie.rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm actually very concerned for her. In this country the track record for whistleblowers isn't a good one. She's a relatively new nurse, now facing career ending stigma. She has two young children....

  16. Is it fair for the media to blame the RN in Texas for contracting Ebola?

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to luv2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So there was mention in the hearing that I found to be interesting. I'm assuming Ms. Vinson has a fiancee. And I'm assuming it's the fiancee that's been quarantined while the rest of her...

  17. "Houston we have a problem" This just got very real

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to Esme12's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is not good... I'm reading on my mini break on the CNN main page that there is a possibility of two more cases. One being a person in Ohio who had contact with Ms. Vinson. And the other being...

  18. URGENT: Are CDC Ebola Guidelines 'Good Enough'?

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am liking this article: Why CDC chief Frieden must resign over Ebola (Opinion) -

  19. GoFundMe account for Nina Pham RN

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to RNSue's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes. And this is precisely what I've done. After spending an unhealthy amount of time reading about mismanagement, fraud, and even the large amounts that the recipient never receives (admin fee/misc...

  20. Is it fair for the media to blame the RN in Texas for contracting Ebola?

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to luv2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I thought this was really quite amusing. The Physician counts 2 breaches in PPE using Hershey's to simulate a little bit of stool. I counted 5 actually......

  21. *rolling my eyes*

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to OhioCCRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We only need compare the coverage of Dr. Brantley to that of Nurse

  22. Media a bit too invasive of nurse's personal info following her catching Ebola?

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to Blue Roses's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That is essentially what it is. A large portion of this site does contain views I would find to be questionable. Yet I believe that anyone should be able to see what has transpired in the situation...

  23. Media a bit too invasive of nurse's personal info following her catching Ebola?

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to Blue Roses's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I would answer that because unlike Mr. Duncan, the only border she chose to cross was the one consisting of fear and potential panic. She stepped up to what was placed before her and did what she was...

  24. My Apology

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to NotMyProblem MSN's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations! You are a

  25. Other side of the bed...

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to LLC10's topic in Patient Medications

    Seems pretty clear that your care wasn't appropriate to your situation. If you are having pain, then that's it, you are having pain. That's what it is, and it's my job to address this immediately....
