  1. First Omicron Case Detected in the U.S.

    NewRN'16 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    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...

  3. COVID Vaccine Safety

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

    *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. 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...

  8. 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...

  9. 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...

  10. 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...

  11. 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

  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

  16. Monulparivir

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

    Well , I guess Molnupiravir is about to get approved for use soon. I can't say I'm not

  17. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    NewRN'16 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    Are we going to be able to refuse it, or will it be mandatory? I have had severe reactions to the influenza vaccine and eventually I declined it. Do we need to have a severe reaction in...

  18. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

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

    I can't believe I was contemplating not getting vaccinated, less than a year ago.. wow .

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

    NewRN'16 replied to PerkyWallflower10's topic in General Nursing

    Have you tried nursing homes? They hire RNs as supervisors/unit managers/DONs .. and they're desperately looking to hire more nurses at the moment . Working in a nursing home is not easy by any means,...

  20. Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

    NewRN'16 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    And our governor does nothing about it. He even banned municipalities from enacting their own mandatory masks rules. I am truly terrified, even thought about leaving my job and start some travel...

  21. Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

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

    I am so sorry you tested positive hopefully you won't have as many symptoms, since your body has already antibodies in it's system. But to answer your question, It could mutate and most like it will...

  23. Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

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

    Well, now they have started reporting daily . Yesterday the number of new cases was 21,000 in one day , it's not a not weekly toll. Florida sets pandemic record with 21,000 new COVID cases in a...

  24. Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

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

    My gut feeling is this virus will mutate no matter if the host is vaccinated or not. Of course ideally , I wish everyone was vaccinated, but it won't stop the mutations and the need for new vaccines...

  25. Covid causing increased AMS in dementia patients

    NewRN'16 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not an article, or peer studied review. Just my take after 8-9 months of battling this virus in a nursing home. It is a well known fact that Covid 19 is causing confusion/ams even in non...
