    Paralyzing weakens the muscles used to breathe, so it is harder to wean people making them subject to many more potential

  2. Hospital Profits Over Patient Safety: The reasons you should not be a nurse

    maji2002 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    So I see these complaints all valid and frequent, yet no one seems to know how to write their legislators, that's where all of this should be directed, over and over. Also, healthcare is in shambles,...

  3. One Nurse's Approach to Discussing the COVID-19 Vaccine

    maji2002 replied to nataliadab's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Calling it "gene therapy" totally negates your argument that you have thought critically , are educated and considered the science. You indeed have

  4. I Am Absolutely Miserable Because I Hate Being A Nurse

    maji2002 replied to PerkyWallflower10's topic in General Nursing

    I had similar as a young nurse, found out I had Graves disease, got that fixed and found my chill. Been a nurse for 37 years, but if that is not the case for you, you have time, and your education...

  5. Where do you go when you don't trust official data sources?

    maji2002 replied to 10GaugeNeedles's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Too many nurses are intellectually lazy. Day to day nursing doesn't require being able to rattle off how the Krebs cycle works, or how other detailed cellular biology works, so it is easily...

  6. How to Stop the Mass Nursing Exodus?

    maji2002 replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You are part of the problem. Just because things haven't changed much for you and you are willing to accept low wages and unsafe patient conditions, you will perpetuate the status quo. Sounds like a...

  7. How to Stop the Mass Nursing Exodus?

    maji2002 replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in Disaster Preparation

    "Nursing is not a difficult job IMO and 50/hour is 100kish which is just outlandish for the level of work required." Just wow. Prepare for

  8. How to Stop the Mass Nursing Exodus?

    maji2002 replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in Disaster Preparation

    "Unpopular take: There are a certain percentage of nurses now that didn't really want to be nurses in the first place. They did it because they could make good money, because their first choice...

  9. Covid-19 Vaccine Trials in South Africa: Another Tuskegee? #Black Lives Matter Around the World

    maji2002 replied to simba and mufasa's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Major eye roll.... Big players and controllers of capitalism have largely been the US and Europe. Consequently they also have exploited workers from Asian countries and others for profit. This has...

  10. Covid-19 Vaccine Trials in South Africa: Another Tuskegee? #Black Lives Matter Around the World

    maji2002 replied to simba and mufasa's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Who said anything about being pro socialist? Triggered much? Fact is capitalism has been dominated by mostly white countries, Europe and the US. Asia is a relative new comer to modern capitalism....

  11. Covid-19 Vaccine Trials in South Africa: Another Tuskegee? #Black Lives Matter Around the World

    maji2002 replied to simba and mufasa's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Black leaders are also subject to human greed and debauchery just as white leaders. Some sold their own people as slaves in the past, and some will sell their own out to whatever interests serve...

  12. If Tulsa becomes a hotzone, I won't be volunteering there

    maji2002 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not that they hosted a rally, I don't think many in the city wanted it there, but there are so many blatantly and belligerently disregarding science, CDC recommendations because "their rights," to...

  13. If Tulsa becomes a hotzone, I won't be volunteering there

    maji2002 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Caring for patients having consequences for the lifestyle is not an issue. None of us can "catch" their CVD, COPD, Type 2 DM. However, we can catch and die from this virus, from folks who flagrantly...

  14. Can I Refuse to Work If My Facility Does Not Have Proper Personal Protective Equipment?

    maji2002 replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Disaster Preparation

    OK boomer. From a (barely) boomer. Get off the generational high horse, it's divisive and unhelpful, and frankly

  15. Can I Refuse to Work If My Facility Does Not Have Proper Personal Protective Equipment?

    maji2002 replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Disaster Preparation

    When are we as nurses going to quit allowing ourselves to be victimized? It is long past time we take our place at the table and demand rights. Advocacy does NOT end at the bedside. Out highest...

  16. Refusing Care of a COVID-19 Patient Due to Inappropriate PPE

    maji2002 replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I find it ironic, that in times of plenty we could be dismissed for not wearing correct PPE, or denied workers comp for the same if we were harmed, but how quickly its suddenly OK to work with...

  17. How to Support the Next Nursing Generation: The Z's

    maji2002 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    There is more cultural research now than back then. When we know better, we do better. Knowing what makes a new gen tick, certainly can help us understand. Being open minded also helps us learn...

  18. Unethical behavior on my first day of floor orientation

    maji2002 replied to TJMICHAEL's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Read the policies and procedures and stick to them. That is your legal and ethical standard. Do what you know is right, you may have to take some initiative to do the learning on your own. Good...

  19. 10 Ways Nurse Leaders Can Make Work Enjoyable for Staff

    maji2002 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    I find it interesting that in nursing's quest to prove ourselves as a "profession" similar to engineers and the like, we try these tactics to improve morale. Do other "professions" do this as well,...

  20. Incivility And The Workplace

    maji2002 replied to armygirlabn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We are looking at some of those same issues. Administration is taking it seriously as a retention concern. Some advice is to be the kind of co-worker you want to work with. Don't adapt to their...

  21. Getting yelled at by a doctor for the first time....

    maji2002 replied to NewbieNurse93's topic in General Nursing

    I feel it ultimately can affect patient safety, because getting yelled at makes a person think twice about calling this doc in the future. It is not acceptable, every. Yes, it will happen, but it...

  22. Getting yelled at by a doctor for the first time....

    maji2002 replied to NewbieNurse93's topic in General Nursing

    I find it sad that in our profession, getting yelled at "for the first time" is like it's an acceptable and anticipated part of the job we are expected to tolerate. Write an occurrence report on this....

  23. Beyond Bedside? Advanced Practice? Really?

    maji2002 replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    "But the patient is what it's all about. Not the staff meetings, not lobbying Washington, not scientific papers, none of that. I understand nurses will do all of those things. I just think NPs should...

  24. "I Narcanned Your Honor Student"

    maji2002 replied to EAGirl's topic in General Nursing

    "Because THEY didn't invtervene soon enough? Where is your compassion?" I think sometimes, ok many times in our society, compassion is confused with enabling. Parents and people in general are not...

  25. "I Narcanned Your Honor Student"

    maji2002 replied to EAGirl's topic in General Nursing

    I think it pokes fun at the high and mighty in society with the attitude it only happens to "other" people and "other peoples kids". It is an across the board problem, that needs to be addressed....
