1. Vaccination Mandating

   RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to Ariemay82's topic in COVID

   I think posting being replied to referred to staffing issues being fixed, not the fact that COVID is contagious. To that end, the number of DKA, COPD, CHF, etc., in the non-compliant patient category certainly DO clog up the system and are part of th...

3. Covid Omicron Variant

   RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to MunoRN's topic in Talk Politics

   Very sad about your friends family. Who is chastising people who ask? Did I say I would? Why did you bring it up in response to my post? I think I made it very clear I could careless about peoples status unless it is work related and definitely made ...

4. Covid Omicron Variant

   RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to MunoRN's topic in Talk Politics

   Definitely not. I'm vaccinated. Most I know are. Some aren't. They are still family and friends. If they have symptoms they know enough to keep their distance. Otherwise, why did I get vaccinated? It is to protect me. I of course do ask all my patien...

5. Covid Omicron Variant

   RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to MunoRN's topic in Talk Politics

   Since this thread is about the Omicron variant, thought I would add something very relevant. I would think anyone who values science and intellect over emotion would strongly consider what these distinguished medical professionals have to say in the...

6. Covid Omicron Variant

   RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to MunoRN's topic in Talk Politics

   Would it be more correct to refer to this as an endemic rather than pandemic at this point? COIVD is not going to be eradicated via vaccine as polio, small pox, etc. It has more in common with endemic influenza. To think we are going to vaccinate our...

   MN is very fortunate to have a glut of nurses. Wish we did here.

8. I'm Done

   RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to PMFB-RN's topic in COVID

   Not sure what you mean by a Mary's opinion website, but two of the three sources I listed were, what I would think a registered nurse would consider reputable: Journal of Clinical Nursing and the AACN website. Would love to see the website showing an...

9. Vaccination Mandating

   RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to Ariemay82's topic in COVID

   Hoosier, agree with you all the way. I'll take the unvaxxed COVID patients if they take all the non-compliant CHF/COPD/Dialysis, etc. patients. I'll have the smaller number of patients on a consistent day in and day out basis. As an actual example of...

10. I'm Done

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to PMFB-RN's topic in COVID

    I will have to respectfully disagree with your opinion regarding no nursing shortage before COVID. The facts say otherwise regarding the nursing shortage existing LONG before COVID. COVID may have exacerbated the issue, but it is not the cause. Looki...

11. I'm Done

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to PMFB-RN's topic in COVID

    And oh by the way. those high $$$ agency nurses are not just excess nurses sitting around waiting for a job opening and then taking jobs. No, they are ICU, ED, Med-Surg nurses in my and your hospitals that see all that $$$ and say "If I am going to p...

12. Changing the Conversation about COVID to Get More People Vaccinated

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to LeChele Mack's topic in COVID

    I am assuming you are vaccinated. If that is the case, the chances are very low that you will get truly sick from COVID. That is what the CDC, the medical experts at leading health institutions, and the manufacturers of the vaccines tell us. That is ...

13. Can I still be a great nurse without prior CNA experience?

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to azulaflameRN's topic in New Nurse

    Over course you can. The CNA experience would certainly have been a benefit, but that is not what makes one a great nurse. A genuine drive and desire to be your best is required. Neve settle for good enough. Seek a mentor that looks out for your int...

14. Dilutions/ Med Info

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to NewNurse_20's topic in Emergency

    When in doubt, consult the Pharm D. He or she is the expert who is qualified to answer the question regarding medications and their administration. I know in our EMR system EPIC I can look in the MAR for each medication for administration questions ...

15. Changing the Conversation about COVID to Get More People Vaccinated

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to LeChele Mack's topic in COVID

    I disagree with anti-vaxxers who argue about efficacy and safety of vaccines including the COVID vaccines. I am currently waiting for my booster. That said, I am curious as to how they deprive anyone of their freedom and body autonomy? Can you elabor...
