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

    I think, if you claim to be healthcare professional you should have a basic understanding of physiology/immunology. Also, that you should actually utilize the internet to look up stuff before posting...

    Ebola Nursing Survey: to Quarantine or Not to Quarantine

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

    Actually, she is an excellent example to the nursing community. She used EBP. She spoke her mind, and even when she was disobeying the illegal quarantine order she went out of her way to do it in...

    Really, that was a problem? He had been afebrile and checking his temperature regularly, so even though he later developed a fever he still wasn't contagious at that

    Ebola Nursing Survey: to Quarantine or Not to Quarantine

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

    Ebola Nursing Survey: to Quarantine or Not to Quarantine

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

    Then why not quarantine all ebola caretakers, and not just the ones returning from Africa? Why are stigmatizing a subset of ebola caretakers not based on scientific evidence, but based out of fear...

    Ebola Nursing Survey: to Quarantine or Not to Quarantine

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

    I would venture a guess that the nurses taking care of ebola patients in U.S. are facing social stigma from fellow co-workers and others afraid that they are going to pass ebola to them or their...

    Ebola Nursing Survey: to Quarantine or Not to Quarantine

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

    If it is so important to quarantine these ebola care takers then shouldn't we have quarantined all the NIH staff that took care Nina Pham? How exactly would that work, if we quarantine all healthcare...

    Moderate Sedation-Propofol

    wtbcrna replied to Gottago's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I don't routinely do routine GI scopes. When I go to do GI scopes is usually due to a recent failed sedation or history of failed sedations. In those cases I try to determine what drugs those patients...

    Moderate Sedation-Propofol

    wtbcrna replied to Gottago's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Anesthesia doesn't give moderate sedation. We give monitored anesthesia care or MAC. This encompasses the whole range of sedation from light to deep according to what the patient needs for the...

    wtbcrna replied to Nurseboy1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    That is true, and as I have said it is all just conjecture at this point. We do know that it had to be either an MDA or an RN doing her sedation. IMHO I would still guess an MDA just from past...
