  1. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    anewsns replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    OK, fair enough. I was wondering if you thought health facilities mandating other vaccines would be a slippery slope towards

  2. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    anewsns replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    When you signed up to be a nurse, were you worried the vaccine mandates (hepatitis, MMR, etc.) Would become government

  3. Nurses are Fleeing the Hospital

    anewsns replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, you barely need to walk out of your office at all really to find out if a place has adequate staffing levels or are meeting outcome measures. Now, I believe TJC does look at a lot of factors...

  4. Syringe Disaster

    anewsns replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. Also, regardless of the risks at work, (which you are clearly well aware of) your mental well being will always come first before hanging onto any job, and you do need to always be a step ahead...

  5. Syringe Disaster

    anewsns replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    I hear you friend. I have bipolar, adhd, and panic disorder. I think in this scenario, it is just a lesson learned. You don't want to replicate this mistake in the future but you can definitely...

  6. Which Religions Exempt Covid Vaccinations?

    anewsns replied to Jordee's topic in Disaster Preparation

    At one of my friends jobs apparently a bunch of nurses are going to pretend they are Muslim for this. I do not know Muslim teachings very well but am wondering what logic they are

  7. Doctor refuses to treat the unvaccinated

    anewsns replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Jive, When parties cant agree on basic facts there is zero room for coherent discussion. If you are so obsessed with the answer and are not satisfied with ours then write that

  8. Doctor refuses to treat the unvaccinated

    anewsns replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No, we already covered it. Jive, maybe write to that doctor and ask him why he is refusing unvaccinated patients so you can get the exact

  9. Nurses are Fleeing the Hospital

    anewsns replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I worked LTC for a while, it wasnt quite that bad, but it was still bad!! Very similar. No empathy for nursing staff whatsoever. We were really disrespected by everyone above the

  10. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    anewsns replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    "Rights, then, play a central role in ethics. Attention to rights ensures that the freedom and well-being of each individual will be protected when others threaten that freedom or well-being. If an...

  11. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    anewsns replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    In a theoretical world, unvaccinated people could have their own unvaccinated country with their own insurance or medicaid and own hospitals. Because if you yourself are unvaccinated, it is OK if...

  12. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    anewsns replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The big picture: This virus is causing us to run out of ICU beds, and it is very communicable unlike some of these other problems like obesity or diabetes. You don't spread heart attacks to everyone...

  13. Do you recommend a year of med/surg in 2021?

    anewsns replied to FolksBtrippin's topic in General Nursing

    I think if it is needed for your future that its a good idea, but if it is not required for your future then no. In many nursing jobs, youve got to pay some dues first, but if you have a definite...

    Same thread, different

  15. Nurses are Fleeing the Hospital

    anewsns replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Gandalf, this is the worst mass exodus story I've ever heard. (Jokes aside, it definitely is the worst.) Im so sorry , I hope you can get out of

  16. Nurses are Fleeing the Hospital

    anewsns replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is a domino effect. Covid was probably the catalyst, then the staffing, followed by the morale or simply that tense atmosphere and people leave. Honestly Covid didn't have a great deal of...

  17. What would you do?

    anewsns replied to EDNURSE20's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh ! Im so sorry that is awful. Let us know if you can

  18. Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    anewsns replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We keep praising those who fought for our freedoms, heroic Americans. Apparently we are not willing to make our own smaller sacrifices to gain freedom from this virus. We are just leeching off the...

  19. Anxiety over making mistakes?

    anewsns replied to pecantreechipmunk's topic in General Nursing

    Thats quite normal, even my most competent new grads say that in different ways. I just did a project on new grad orientations (im gleaning that youre within a year?) And giving people too much...

  20. Big Money. No Orientation.

    anewsns replied to Kspeed's topic in General Nursing

    Good call!! The residents deserve

  21. Per policy, I am not allowed to give an opinion on whether to COVID vaccinate

    anewsns replied to FolksBtrippin's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Just list the risks and benefits and answer follow up questions. Then let them decide if the benefits outweigh the risks, even if its very

  22. Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    anewsns replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ugh, thats so rough but I probably would have done the same honestly. Sometimes I would rather not know peoples opinions. It can mess up my relationship with them. But once I do know, I cant turn...

  23. Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    anewsns replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Preventing my own death from covid is only my secondary reason for getting the vaccine. It will take 70% of people to have antibodies (vaccine or infection) to greatly slow this infection and prevent...

  24. Doctor refuses to treat the unvaccinated

    anewsns replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think the main things being discussed are overlooked by many. Masks, social distancing, and handwashing. Im not sure of actual early treatments besides the basics though. In one sense, I think, "if...

  25. Doctor refuses to treat the unvaccinated

    anewsns replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think it is probably unethical to not treat unvaccinated patients. Im not sure the right way to choose who and who not to admit when ICUs are full. It seems as it should be a combination of acuity...
