  2. Considering taking an assignment in NYC to help

    Anonymous666 replied to adorkable8605's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I would imagine most contracts would provide accommodation...sure, maybe shared with other travel nurses, but

  3. Amazon deliveryman spits on package

    Anonymous666 replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    From the second view, it looks like he was just cleaning the barcode in order to scan

  4. Getting back to work after a year off?

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I’m currently stationary. Unless things get worse, like war zone-style, I have no desire to hit the floor during all this

  7. Coronavirus and Pay

    Anonymous666 replied to Marianna5's topic in Disaster Preparation

    All this ‘if you don’t feel safe and fear for your patient’s safety, etc.’ is all well and good, but... we all know the reality. In a crisis situation your manager is not gonna wanna hear...

  8. Acute COVID, What We're Seeing

    Anonymous666 replied to MunoRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Regarding the ACE thing, Fauci acted like it’s a given that COVID hooks up with ACE receptors. I didn’t realize this was common knowledge. A little worrying selfishly as I just started...

  9. COVID-19. Should I return to nursing?

    Anonymous666 replied to mc1992's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I’m in the same boat. I have an elderly mother-in-law living with me right now, so no, I won’t be walking into an ICU any time soon. If enough nurses currently working walk or get sick and...

  10. Covid-19: New York starting to feel it

    Anonymous666 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    New York City hospitals are already straining under the onslaught of novel coronavirus cases, even as state officials say the real peak of the outbreak is nearly a month and a half away....

  11. Are those fish bowl helmet things I keep seeing European bipap masks?

    Anonymous666 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    You know, the ones that look like the pt has a fish bowl in their head? If so, I think they look cool. Less claustrophobic, and they have a zipper at the front for taking meds

  12. Are those fish bowl helmet things I keep seeing European bipap masks?

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yeah, kinda like the thing you wear for N95 fitting, but air-tight, obviously. Looks like it's some kind of non-invasive mechanical ventilation...

  13. Getting back to work after a year off?

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the responses, guys. I can’t go back to the old job as I moved away. I can’t go back to work sooner as I’ve still got some traveling to do. I’m assuming nurses are gonna be...

  14. Nursing for Intimate care for men

    Anonymous666 replied to RNMikeMiller's topic in General Nursing

    As a man who's received a prostate exam by a male doc and had a testicular ultrasound performed by a female tech, I'd rather have a female take care of all that "intimate" stuff. If they're...

  15. Do nurses make a difference?

    Anonymous666 replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of the time I feel like I work in one of those human battery fields in the movie The Matrix. I feel like I’m part of a system that is keeping people who should be dead alive to create revenue...

  16. Nurse vs Respiratory

    Anonymous666 replied to TheSixFootThree's topic in General Nursing

    I’m sorry, but I really liked this part. What was the dose of the neb you gave? Half of 2 mg? ? Most places I’ve worked respiratory document their meds late. Sometimes they’ll sit on the MAR as...

  17. Strange HTN case

    39 year old male 6 ft 200 lbs No significant hx BP in right arm 180/120. BP in left arm 144/98. HR 80. Radial pulses, pedal pulses 2+ Bilat. No bruits heard. Pt is basically asymptotic Been taking...

  18. Strange HTN case

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in General Nursing

    I thought if US positive, you’re supposed to do a CTA (according to you and the medscape piece you cited)... Also, the vascular surgeon would indeed order a CTA before going anywhere near a scalpel...

  19. Strange HTN case

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in General Nursing

    What if the doc sent the workers to look for a dissection? Do you think they probably missed that, too? I wonder what else they missed... If that’s the case—these workers miss traffic congestion...

  20. Strange HTN case

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in General Nursing

    As stated before, the patient is now taking Norvasc 10 mg and Lisinopril 10 mg daily. He has been on a daily exercise regime and eating healthy for the last 2 weeks. He’s lost 7 lbs since his last...

  21. Strange HTN case

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely. In this particular case, however, the doctor decided that the reports of traffic congestion were so extreme he figured he’d skip sending the drone up and employ teams of workers on to...

  22. Strange HTN case

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in General Nursing

    The patient had been experiencing a very stressful life situation— moving to a new state and dealing with a neighbor that involved the police on a number of occasions. I imagine he checked it out of...

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in General Nursing

    I hate to be pedantic, but in your traffic analogy the drone is the US and the several teams of workers are the

  24. Strange HTN case

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in General Nursing

    Don’t worry. I remembered my medscape password. The work up section actually states that CTA has replaced the current gold standard, conventional angiography, as the first line modality for the...

  25. Strange HTN case

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in General Nursing

    I’m unable to read the “work up” section, as it requires medscape membership. Maybe you could just paraphrase? Why would a CTA be the follow up test after an US shows flow disruption, only to...
