    I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    NurseSpeedy replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    While quitting a job and moving to a remote area seems a bit of a stretch the first part I have to agree with-big liberal government has never been a welcome thing in my option. I don’t believe...

    I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    NurseSpeedy replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have thought about it and will get the vaccine when available. Unfortunately, my work as a nurse is not in a hospital or nursing home so I will problem not be able to get it early. My husband...

    I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    NurseSpeedy replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Because it is probably going to take that long to have enough vaccines to give it to those who want it - and have enough time for them to show immunity-and masking will be required if people resist...

    80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    NurseSpeedy replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    This may go back into effect after COVID-right now I think a nurse with recent experience and an RN behind their name is enough during a crisis. I even got a letter from the department of health...

    Mask Fatigue

    NurseSpeedy replied to Cjones864's topic in General Nursing

    This looks very much like the device in a KN95 (made in Finland of all places) that I bought-thinks for my own protection at work since we were only getting one surgical mask a shift, and um no-I’m...

    COVID-Positive Nurses Working: Irresponsible or Smart?

    NurseSpeedy replied to J.Adderton's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Seems that nurses are once again expected to be superhuman and show up for work no matter what they are sick with-and how dare they call out for catching something at work! Just drag them in until...

    How to deal with mean staff

    NurseSpeedy replied to emmafrancis's topic in General Nursing

    I would tread carefully. Many physicians are part owners in the practices, even large practices. You may have a boss that backs you up, but if he doesn’t like you and is willing to pursue it, he...

    Tampa Galen LPN to RN PROGRAM

    NurseSpeedy replied to Stefanie40's topic in School, College Programs

    I graduated in 2016-it was the same pace as the on campus program. I can’t imagine they would change anything, especially now with social distancing. Some students would take a term or two longer if...

    Trump’s assault on Postal Service and voting is a plot against American democracy

    NurseSpeedy replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I am so OVER this virus and I am so OVER how it has become a politicized debate. Unless either party offer a solution to the issue without either causing another Great Depression by throwing us all in...

    NurseSpeedy replied to chocoholic1's topic in Nursing Career

    Not within the past six months but it really doesn’t matter-with COVID19 you will likely get phone screened and then a virtual interview before anything final and in person. I know you could...

    Blacklisted from HCA

    NurseSpeedy replied to nursingsprettycool17's topic in General Nursing

    I worked for a company that was owned by HCA as a per diem nurse. At the time they were Parillon but I believe at some point they were health trust. They are owned by HCA-even though agency-first call...

    Is it appropriate to "show off" that you are a Nurse on social media?

    NurseSpeedy replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Much care should be used as to when and what to post-or not post-on social media. When in doubt-leave it out-too many have lost their jobs due to stupid posts on social media-and nursing is a much...
