    Judy Mikovitz, Ph D and Anthony Fauci, MD

    Serhilda replied to Kooky Korky's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Seriously? You have no idea what's true and what isn't? Why are you, or anyone else for that matter, giving this quack any consideration? Do your research on every single one of her claims through a...

    pay scale for boston RN's?

    Serhilda replied to surferbettycrocker's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Yes, "these people" being Bostonians. I'm not sure what you're alluding to when mentioning perception here though. Their perceptions are indeed influenced by their biases and my perception is...

    New grad

    Serhilda replied to ABSNnewgrad's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Well Boston already had a surplus of nurses, so now with elective procedures having been canceled and censuses being down, the market is even worse and may continue declining. Just my two cents. Some...

    pay scale for boston RN's?

    Serhilda replied to surferbettycrocker's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I'm glad you mentioned how accepting they are because that's been my biggest gripe. I'm about 40 minutes away from downtown but these people have been some of the most subtly prejudice people I've...

    Informed employer I was going to NYC to help with COVID crisis and was threatened to be reported for pt abandonment

    Serhilda replied to Butterflygrl38's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Many contracts are currently being canceled or changed into float pool positions. I signed up for a crisis position specifically at a field hospital recently. This was changed when I arrived for my...

    Genuine question that I know is going to make me sound like a TERRIBLE nurse...

    Serhilda replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting how some of these responses are "it's our job because it's our job" instead of realizing we do have the option to hold people exclusively accountable for their actions. While double checks...

    RN fired from ICU and not offered transfer to another floor.

    Serhilda replied to HansRN's topic in General Nursing

    WOW!! I thought my situation was bad but that's some pretty blatant discrimination. Did you talk to HR about this? I'm from the south and once they heard my accent, they told me I wouldn't be able to...

    New Nurse now?

    Serhilda replied to kingjder263's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You're right in that you wouldn't receive the best orientation, for multiple reasons. One, your orientation could be cut short or two, your experience would be limited to mostly COVID patients. I'll...

    At Least 9,000 U.S. Health Care Workers Sickened With COVID-19, CDC Data Shows

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

    Even if we ignore the morality rating here, 10% requiring hospitalization is significant. The hospital bills alone would be devastating and you know workman's comp won't cover

    Should nurses be getting involved in the Reopen America protests nationwide?

    Serhilda replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Disaster Preparation

    "15 minutes of fame." Amazing. It's almost as if you have absolutely no clue who or what you're talking

    Why are some RNs rarely busy, while others are always busy

    Serhilda replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I typically combed through the patient's chart to make sure everything that could be done, was done and clustered since I worked night shift. Clustering tends to result in a nurse zooming around for...

    What is it like in your hospital right now?

    Serhilda replied to FloatFNP-C's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Incredibly helpful post, thank you. This is exactly what I've seen as well in our ER. In our hospital, we just had our local police department donate p100 respirators to all ER nursing staff. Before...

    Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

    Serhilda replied to gcupid's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Interesting you should mention this. I was job searching today and came across several COVID19-specific jobs. They were usually contracted and paying anywhere from $60-72 an hour with benefits. They...

    Boyfriend wants me to stay away

    Serhilda replied to LauRN3367's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Many of the replies you've received have been nothing more than character bashing. I'm sorry they've been like that. I read some more of your posts and honestly girl, just throw the whole boyfriend...

    Peer-review journal DIY surgical masks

    Serhilda replied to Lumina88's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'd sooner go in with a middle finger to my hospital than a bandana. This is a job and my one and only life. Value that or I'm out

    Boyfriend wants me to stay away

    Serhilda replied to LauRN3367's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Would he have this same attitude if you were married? Would he stand by you "in sickness and in health?" He has yet to take those vows, but if marriage is in the back of your mind with this guy, I...

    MA Hospitals using Epic?

    Thanks a lot for your input, I appreciate

    Abandoning Ship

    Serhilda replied to cin808's topic in Nursing Career

    Leave, and to hell with lining up another job first too. Find something far away from direct patient care and run. Don't feel an ounce of guilt. I sure wouldn't. You don't owe the general public your...

    Refusing Care of a COVID-19 Patient Due to Inappropriate PPE

    Serhilda replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Personally, I don't recall becoming a martyr as part of my job description. As such, I expect adequate, evidenced-based protection. There are risks involved in direct patient care that we all...

    COVID-19 and Nursing Ethics

    Serhilda replied to Mursing's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If you want to come back to the ED, come back because you want to join in on the chaos a pandemic brings, not because you feel a moral obligation. There are plenty of elective procedures that are...

    "Addiction" Nursing is an outdated term.

    Serhilda replied to havenrn's topic in Addictions

    Disagree. Until there is no longer any moral component to addiction/substance abuse/substance use, it will always be a controversial

    Are you friends with coworkers? Maybe you should be...

    Serhilda replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mean to sound rude saying this, but your lack of female friends probably has something to do with your stereotyping of them... You've already categorized yourself as "not like other girls" and...

    Is asking too many questions to other nurses a problem? (new nurse)

    Serhilda replied to joytotheworld21's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My unit loved it when new grads asked questions. It made us feel confident that if they had any doubt about what to do, they'd ask for help and not try to wing it. I agree with Rose Queen though,...

    Need advice/feedback on response I got from job interview

    Serhilda replied to Peachpit's topic in General Nursing

    I probably would've been happy someone remembered me after such a brief encounter. I wouldn't worry though, that's for

    Night shift to day shift

    Serhilda replied to AmieCooney's topic in General Nursing

    If there are openings, it's generally not an issue. Sometimes they require you to stay on your current shift until your position can be filled but it depends. Just ask and go from there. I did it, had...
