    Facial coverings effective?

    Thanksforthedonuts replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sometimes, if you’re not careful, they ain’t always just gases... if you know what I mean ? To stop the spread is the goal. I’m just not sure this is very effective to reach that

    Are Big City Hospitals Really Getting Hit With COVID-19 Pts?

    Thanksforthedonuts replied to EPS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I can’t tell you from the hospice side what is going on. I’m in the greater Seattle area. We had three people in our church die this week. I think stats are helpful so I’ll add -> stats: non...

    Was Covid-19 Here Already?

    Thanksforthedonuts replied to BSNbound21's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I can swear our family caught it in January. I had a cough that last roughly 5 weeks, I’m suprised I didn’t break any ribs from all the coughing fits. Not sure about you guys, but who seriously...

    Really America?

    Thanksforthedonuts replied to GrumpyRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I’m being dead serious here, my dad actually makes his own bullets. He’s an obsessed hunter, starving to death will never be a concern in our home. We are a family of hunters. Except me, I shop...

    Really America?

    Thanksforthedonuts replied to GrumpyRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I live in a bordering city to Kirkland, Wa. The TP obsession is just insanity. TP, Clorox, hand sanitizer, Tylenol, ibuprofen, cold and flu OTC MEDS, ALL GONE! It took me DAYS to get into Costco for...

    Attendance Overboard

    Thanksforthedonuts replied to ChristmasNurse's topic in School

    All I can add is that, as a parent, the push for no absences is a huge stressor. My daughter missed 2 weeks of kindergarten due to some awful bug that caused our whole house to have vomiting and...

    Agree, I was thinking the same thing. I use judgement and common sense. If a resident is aspirating, I downgrade their diet, no questions asked. I think a lot depends on the

    Why The Future of NP Practice Maybe A Two Edged Sword

    Thanksforthedonuts replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    This is very true. I’m in Seattle area (Eastside) too Myoglobin. It appears that this business approach would be the best bang for your buck if money is their primary gripe. There are quite a few NP...

    Why The Future of NP Practice Maybe A Two Edged Sword

    Thanksforthedonuts replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I don’t want to stir up a can of worms... but should LPNs and RNs or Medical assistants get paid cause they “like do they same thing”? I know plenty of LPNs that can run circles around some...

    Why The Future of NP Practice Maybe A Two Edged Sword

    Thanksforthedonuts replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Obviously. If I have a cold do I go to a primary care provider or a veterinarian? If I’m in labor to I see a Derm or an OB? Forgive me, but that’s a petty

    Why The Future of NP Practice Maybe A Two Edged Sword

    Thanksforthedonuts replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    NPs don’t have the same education or training as physicians, therefore the pay reflects that. The responsibility is similarly high, yes, but unfortunately we don’t get paid solely based off our...

    Is Southern California affordable on a psych NP salary?

    Thanksforthedonuts replied to ForensicPMHNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I’m not sure how familiar you are with the area, I would return to SoCal in the summer to see if you really like it. Boston and SoCal are totally different climates. Coming from Seattle, I enjoy...

    How hard is bedside nursing on the body?

    Thanksforthedonuts replied to starter12345's topic in General Nursing

    I gained almost 86 pounds in one pregnancy... I’m still crying over that weight. Especially since that baby now weighs over 86 pounds herself and I still haven’t lost anything

    Show drivers license to patients in home health

    Thanksforthedonuts replied to guest1074618's topic in Home Health

    Where do patients go?

    Thanksforthedonuts replied to NextGen's topic in General Nursing

    I can see how that would put you in a difficult place. It’s not easy, and sadly no one seems to want to correct anything (those in acute care). There has been a noticeable uptick in these type of...
