    Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Wuzzie replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I belong to a union and have never, ever seen that kind of behavior. In fact, we have a “no-strike” clause so never expect to. Our union did, in fact, get us PPE when the hospital took ours away....

    It is and guess who’s bearing the brunt of it.

    What is your "favorite" procedure?

    Intubating.

    Facial coverings effective?

    Wuzzie replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think some people may be confusing "strain" and "mutation". There are several mutations but that does not equal new

    How to reject a weekend assignment from staffing company

    Wuzzie replied to hapham3693's topic in General Nursing

    So it isn't that it's a weekend nights position then, it's any assignment? That makes more sense. I was confused by the details. You can tell them you're too far into your pregnancy to take a new...

    How to reject a weekend assignment from staffing company

    Wuzzie replied to hapham3693's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you think this will risk your baby? Without a good rationale this will likely not be an excuse that will continue your friendly relations with this

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    Wuzzie replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Their numbers were totally debunked by several epidemiologists. Also did you notice one of them stating he is being forced to sign COVID on death certificates which is highly unlikely since he works...

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    Wuzzie replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well, considering that infectious disease happens to be my area of specialty I believe that I do carry a little credibility. I have no problem with people expressing their opinions if they are willing...

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    Wuzzie replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Amusing but a bit polarizing. So far this has been a pretty good discussion. I'd like to keep it going but it won't if people start sniping at each

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    Wuzzie replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No it isn't and you lose credibility with statements like this. There is misinformation coming from both sides. Statements like this are not conducive to intelligent

    Covid 19 visitor restrictions

    Wuzzie replied to Susie2310's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We are currently on "no visitors" except for new patients,EOL discussions or someone who cannot advocate for themselves (defined as someone who cannot legally give consent). This initially has people...

    Facial coverings effective?

    Too late. Happened in Flint some days

    Dismissed, what now?

    Wuzzie replied to Forever Curls's topic in General Students

    This is super important and must be well-thought out. You need to take a brutal look at the part you played in your situation because that is the only thing you can change. Do not make excuses. If you...

    Facial coverings effective?

    Wuzzie replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's fine to rely on herd immunity by exposure for illnesses that aren't as dangerous as COVID or for that matter the flu but the risk of severe illness/death is much too high. That is where vaccines...

    Facial coverings effective?

    Wuzzie replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That would be true except again...how do we know who the sick people are? Unlike nearly all the other viruses we are used to, people have been shown to be asymptomatic carriers of this particular...

    Will it be hard for me to get a Girlfriend during this Pandemic since I am dealing with sick people?

    Wuzzie replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So this is the second post you've made about this subject. Maybe you could talk to someone about your anxiety regarding this issue. It might

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    Wuzzie replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    But they are. They're private companies and have no responsibility to the public to post anything at all. If FB decided all they want to post is on the topic of cars and get rid of everything else...

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    Wuzzie replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well, they have that right. Who are we to impose on that? It's not like the information can't be found on other

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    Wuzzie replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sure, leave it up but at least put some sort of disclaimer on it letting the unwitting know that it is not supported by scientific facts and should not be trusted. Frankly I think it should say "This...

    Wuzzie replied to Kooky Korky's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Your RT friend is repeating nonsense to you and has no idea how things are billed. Do you really think physicians are getting personal bonuses for Covid patients? That's not how it works. That's not...

    Should I ignore people who say that every career should have a week dedicated to them?

    Wuzzie replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Tell them they can have the bag of 5 Hershey's Kisses I got for Nurses' Week. Will that make them feel better? Big whiners. And please, show them this thread. I'm embarrassed for

    New nurse, asthma, Covid-19, What do I do?

    Wuzzie replied to AnonymousNurse2012's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Those of us working in "non-COVID" areas (ambulatory, etc) are getting a very high incidence of accidental exposure. In fact they finally returned our PPE after repeated exposures. Our "screeners" are...

    Facial coverings effective?

    Wuzzie replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So I'm guessing you don't cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze either? Have you seen the videos? Why bother? It doesn't really do that much and you don't owe anybody any consideration anyway...

    Wuzzie replied to Kooky Korky's topic in Disaster Preparation

    From what I was able to research yes but that is beside the point. The subject of this thread, identified as an expert, straight out told people in her video that vaccines have mouse cells in them....
