   Hopefully it will be a milder version * fingers crossed*, but it's definitely too early to

2. COVID Vaccine Safety

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

   I guess I don't visit the site often enough. I really didn't expect an antivax OP on here though. (So fed up with nonsense antivaccine propaganda on social media, I have a hard time blocking...

   *sighs* Seriously now? I didn't expect I was going to run into antivax propaganda on here

4. Does your employer give you hell for calling in sick?

   NewRN'16 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

   You obviously didn't read my post correctly, I never said the OP had the symptoms I had. And unless you're her provider and had assessed her , you can't possibly say that she would have been better...

5. Does your employer give you hell for calling in sick?

   NewRN'16 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

   I disagree with you there. As someone who had side effects after both vaccines, I would do the same thing as OP and call in sick. How can you get through a 12 hour shift with fever, nausea, body aches...

6. Is it wrong to ask for a raise?

   NewRN'16 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

   I am not a manager but have worked as shift supervisor I understand your situation. What I would do Is I would speak to my nurses and ask them for their help until your get someone else on your team....

7. Relatives Invited Themselves For Thanksgiving...

   NewRN'16 replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

   Growing up overseas, and not being in touch with my ex's family makes it null and void of having any panic attacks over relatives just dropping by. The only unexpected visits I get are from...

8. Moderna Booster - What was the dosage used in your facility?

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

   Apparently it was ordered 0.5 for all residents who consented to the booster. I panicked because I am one of the nurses who administers the vaccines. They came in vials of 7.5 mL , for 15 doses from a...

9. Moderna Booster - What was the dosage used in your facility?

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

   That is probably what happened. I will ask my DON tomorrow. So far we haven't had any adverse reactions from anyone receiving the vaccine booster , I just panicked when I saw 0.25 ... I will update...

10. Moderna Booster - What was the dosage used in your facility?

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

    This is what I found yesterday. We just gave boosters to everyone (who consented) in facility with 0.5 ml as per DON order. What do I do next??? Should I report

11. Moderna Booster - What was the dosage used in your facility?

    NewRN'16 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I work in a SNF and I just read the other day that the Moderna booster vaccine is only half of dose (0.25 mL) of regular shot. Our facility gave the same dose (0.5 ml) to all residents, regardless if...

12. I don’t want to work extra!

    NewRN'16 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    Good idea, I've never through of that. We are not unionized, and of course I could call corporate and tell them what's happening but obviously it would be my last day

13. I don’t want to work extra!

    NewRN'16 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah I planned on saying that next time I get stuck for a double (which usually turns into 18 hours). I was about to call the corporate, no one was answering, no manager on call , no DON, no...

14. I don’t want to work extra!

    NewRN'16 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    Not all places have supervisors. In many SNFs you're on your own, if you don't have relief, you're there to stay.

15. I don’t want to work extra!

    NewRN'16 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    I think Case Management would not require you to pull doubles. I'm thinking of leaving bedside too, I'm so tired of being stuck at work , especially if I am already exhausted and don't feel
