Feelgood RN

Probably a reason many religions believe in being born again! ?? Although, they don't say you have to change!

Wish I lived in West Virginia. I literally told someone the other day I'd get the vaccine if they gave me a Desert Eagle .50. Guess we'll see how far that goes! ?

Some of my best learning experiences I had as a new nurse were when I'd see some patients orders and be like "Crap, I forgot ALL the steps on how to do this." Feeling in adequate and not wanting to screw it up. Eventually Asking a co-worker our policy or steps just to find out "Yeah, I don't remember how to do that either!" LOL

LOL, if you can't tell that I can obviously see the nonsense, then you're blind. I can also see and understand how people get to believing that "nonsense". I can and have heard all the nonsense and have come to my own conclusions on the nonsense. Just because your nonsense is more acceptable than someone else's doesn't definitively make you right.

My point, as it apparently wasn't clear enough, is that information can easily be wrong. One way or another. Someone's fault or not. It can be manipulated, controlled, or just fraudulent. It should be easy to see how people can think the data, with all associated craziness of this pandemic, may be being manipulated. To assume those people don't have critical thinking skills is arrogant. Make your points, provide your CORRECT data, and if they don't change their minds, then good job trying. That's the best part of being American, human, we don't have to agree and that's OK. Although if you don't agree with the last part of the last sentence, you're probably.........................

Now we have basically a whole page where we look stupid because of a copy pasta mistake. Should all that be deleted because of its stupididty and "uselessness"? This is a simple and easy to see example of how easily data can be erroneous and in at least one instance...people take it at face value with no question. As a nurse, as a human, always question and come to your own conclusions.

Sorry if it wasn't clear. I was saying, how does the US have more deaths than the deaths of the the world wide population...not more deaths than the number of people on the Earth...?

You see how easily "misinformation" is spread by intelligent people?

Thank you. That makes more sense, I finally went to the link. Also, the US cases are 33,000,000 ish, not just 3million.

You just posted the exact same thing, and it still looks ridiculous. I know how many people live in the US. John Hopkins Univ. Covid-19 dashboard Worldwide stats 6/11/21 @ 1045 AM: Cases: 174,940,496 Deaths: 3,775,180 U.S. stats Cases: 3,775,180 Deaths: 3,775,261 Here is math: WW Deaths: 3,775,180 < US Deaths 3,775,261 US Cases: 3,775,180 < US Deaths 3,775,261 Maybe I'm missing something, but these numbers look wrong.

Then, maybe don't indulge them? I've seen many posts on here I'd consider downright stupid from people that claim to be nurses. I don't engage them because I know from experience, which you apparently haven't gained from this or any other interaction, that they'll continue to drivel that stupidity as long as someone will listen. My opinion is that as a nurse you should know and respect other people's points of view, no matter how stupid they are. It tells us what they know, their intelligence level, their background, the ability of their information to be trusted. It tells us many thing. Apparently as an anesthetist you forget the nuance of nursing care and how to use information. It's OK though, you go all that extra schooling to make sure you don't have to listen to patients. In short, it's my opinion that it all has a place here. Besides, there's not really that many people posting on here anymore, especially not enough to keep it interesting.

Maybe you can ask John Hopkins how this works? How does the US have more deaths than the total world population? How do we have more deaths than total cases? This looks like an error, possibly, misinformation.

I've heard this term pretty often. I feel like it's usually use to help nurses get out of their own head. We are the nurse, we care for our whole patient, but sometimes we get a patient/patients that have diseases/procedures/medications that we're not familiar with or we have to use equipment or do procedures that haven't recently been in our HealthStreams ?. Fake it until you make it is like saying, hey, show your patient you know what you're doing, you're in charge of them and their care and they expect that. We haven't been the most trusted profession for the last decade because we know every medication, every procedure, every obscure piece of equipment in the stockroom. I feel it's because we care for our patients and show them, as much as possible, that we know what we are doing...maybe even when we don't.

Maybe they are trolling. Maybe not. If another point of view adds nothing of value to the conversation, then you are a part of the larger problem this country is having. For some reason we've lost the ability to fathom that others can have a different point of view, and they have that right. Giving you the opportunity to see how and why people think/see/do what they do is value. Apparently you're too arrogant to realize that you can use that information to better make arguments, conversations, or explain things to those people.

My body, my choice. That's the new thing right. It's nobodies business if get the vaccine or not. I don't go around with my childhood immunization/flu vaccination record expecting to get put into a lottery. If a "normal" version of the vaccine is created, I'd have no problem getting it. I've basically already had the vaccine, but due to hysteria and vaccine propaganda it's no longer good enough to "get the chickenpox". Thank you to all those that have chosen to sign up for this massive test and get the vaccine. If in the future it works out that these new vaccines work well, then great, maybe we can figure out how to use it for other things. I hope that it works out and everything goes fine. Many people don't realize that if this goes tits up in the future, that there's nothing they can really do about it and the drug companies will be laughing while Scrooge McDucking it in their pool. I'm not willing to be part of the experiment just because people think natural innoculation isn't good enough. Good luck to all those that are getting into the lotteries, you're welcome.
