    Working From Home: What's it really like? A Day In The Life Of A Clinical Appeals Nurse

    Wuzzie replied to Lunah's topic in General Nursing

    Just to clarify though. Are you logging on early to compensate for being "away from your computer" to get your daughter ready for daycare? The way you wrote it does sound like you are caring for her...

    Short Staffed: An Epidemic

    Wuzzie replied to KellyM RN's topic in General Nursing

    Yesterday we needed 23 nurses to run the clinic properly. We had ten. We take care of very sick oncology patients. Let that sink in. Meanwhile they are falling all over themselves...

    Rant About Covid Antivaxxers

    Wuzzie replied to SunDazed's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Again with the strawman arguments? I'm not saying anything of the sort. Just stop it. I have not put words in your mouth and would appreciate you returning the

    Rant About Covid Antivaxxers

    Wuzzie replied to SunDazed's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The minorities in my region are not anti-vax. They are vaccine hesitant and with good reason. I deal with this on the daily and have had some terrific, honest discussions. I believe the OP was...

    Rant About Covid Antivaxxers

    Wuzzie replied to SunDazed's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's a rant on a nursing site. If you read the subsequent discussion nobody is advocating for this in real life. Conflating into the discussion the morbidly obese and smokers are simply strawman...

    Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    Wuzzie replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I also think if I have to work in an enclosed space with someone that the ethical thing to do would be to let my coworker know if I was unvaccinated. Fortunately all of my coworkers understand this...

    Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    Wuzzie replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes, but if I told you I am at a higher risk because I have severe asthma I would think there would be a quid pro quo. At least from a decent person. If someone, even a patient, refuses to answer or...

    Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    Wuzzie replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If they don't "feel the need to" then they can do without whatever they need me for. I always consider the source. I believe the question I was answering is if it's okay to ask...

    Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    Wuzzie replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That is not a new concept for me however this is a different situation. I always mask and if the people I need to interact with are not vaccinated I expect them to mask as well. If they are vaccinated...

    Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    Wuzzie replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes, because if I have to interact with them then I need to know I'm safe. If they aren't vaxed then they will have to wear a mask and I will conduct my business with them in a safer environment. If...

    Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    Wuzzie replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The problem starts when someone else's choice has the potential to harm or kill me. That is the fundamental difference. I should not be required to suffer those

    Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    Wuzzie replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There's a big difference between being vaccine hesitant and anti-vax. At least in my state we have seen a big jump in the hesitant getting their vaccines unlike the other group. They, at least, can be...

    IV help

    Wuzzie replied to Kitkatmat's topic in General Nursing

    We use them. They are super sharp and tend to go out the back side of the vein before you know it. Flatten your insertion angle...a lot! If you got a flash then nada back it out a smidge until you...

    Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    Wuzzie replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes but they are also the most likely to be open to hearing correct information if it is presented sensitively. At least they are on the fence. It's the ones who have their backs turned to it that are...

    FORMULA FEED ERROR

    Wuzzie replied to stxnurse12's topic in General Nursing

    Unless the formula you used was one you concocted from antifreeze and strychnine you aren't going to lose your license over this.
