    Wuzzie replied to Cdonocdo's topic in General Nursing

    Ummm, I don’t think that’s kosher at all. Agree with FBT take this up the chain. It might get messy for you but it’s a patient safety issue. They might bluster about it but they are on the wrong...

    Wuzzie replied to EDnurseAmen's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not all experts are subscribing to this. I think Fauci’s “we might have to mask until 2023” and double-mask idea is an overreach. I supported him until this nonsense. He needs to stop making...

    Sick all the time first year at the hospital

    Wuzzie replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, I finally got exposed to just about everything and developed a robust immunity as a result. It does get better. PS: Other than required PPE I don’t do anything special. I don’t...

    Managers, Nurses and Delegation: Who Has Authority?

    Wuzzie replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    This is a giant smokescreen to cover up that the OP just doesn’t want to do it. OP none of the tasks you’ve been asked to do are beyond extremely basic level nursing. Some of them aren’t even...

    Wuzzie replied to Cdonocdo's topic in General Nursing

    Clearly the guy was in distress and you did a proper assessment but other than slightly decreased respirations nothing else supported a narcotic overdose which, in the end, he wasn’t actually...

    Wuzzie replied to Cdonocdo's topic in General Nursing

    I’m fairly certain the report goes up the chain. Also, agree with JKL, I don’t think Narcan was the right intervention in the first place. Your assessment does not support it so making a big stink...

    Wuzzie replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    This. This right here is the problem. I’ve said this before. This. Is. Not. Normal. The OP needs to explore this with a professional to fix it before it’s too

    Covid and Hospitals: How are things now?

    Wuzzie replied to CrunchRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don’t work in the ICU so I’m mostly speculating. There were 31 patients on vents a week ago and more the week before. The number has been steadily dropping and not all due to deaths but I...

    Update. The Good! The refrigerated semi has been removed. Our admitted COVID/PUIs are down to around 100. 24 on vents. The Bad! Only 6.4% of my state’s residents are fully vaccinated. Most of...

    COVID Faces

    Wuzzie replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don’t think you’re crazy. The tip of my nose is pushed down from where it used to be and I have a permanent dent on the bridge. It’s obvious in pictures. Hope it goes back to normal.

    What’s the farthest you would be willing to commute?

    Mine was around 2 hours depending on traffic getting out of my city. Longer if the roads were bad. It made me a zombie. I had no quality of life and it beat my car up something fierce. Wasn’t worth...
