  1. Bullied at work, and the DON won't do anything about it. (venting)

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

    I just wanted to thank every each and every one of you for your input, I actually learned not only what* but how I should/ how I should act before I leave, to lessen their attacks. On a positive...

  2. State Mandates Restricting Travel to Other States - What Do You Think?

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

    I'm sorry but I don't understand your logic either. If travel is allowed, hotels and attractions/restaurants will become incubators. There is no such thing as hospital grade cleaning in a hotel...

  3. Bullied at work, and the DON won't do anything about it. (venting)

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

    I forgot to add, I wasn't born here either, so the whole thing doesn't make any sense.

  4. State Mandates Restricting Travel to Other States - What Do You Think?

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

    Umm... If it will help the craziness of another huge wave (which in my personal opinion is inevitable anyway) , why not try it? If less "travel" will save a life, just one. I would be happy....

  5. Penn State study says mouthwash can kill coronavirus — in lab dishes

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

    Even if it decreases the viral load, I would do it. I heard about this many months ago from an ID doctor from TX. He is originally from the same european country I'm originally from and I used to...

  6. KN95 mask?

    NewRN'16 replied to guest1143647's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Do you cover your KN95 with a surgical mask? That's what we do, and dispose of the surgical masks on the end of the shift. The KN95 is nowhere near as good as an N95 because you can't get fitted...

  7. Standard COVID Precautions

    NewRN'16 replied to rooftop-yawp's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I work in a nursing home as well, and I can relate. I honestly lost all hope when I see nursing staff pulling their masks down to talk to each other or on the phone. Pretty much everything you...

  8. 200,000 people have died from Covid-19 in the US (so far)

    NewRN'16 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    And some still don't believe it is a real disease. Or that it will affect them or their loved ones .. "200,000 people have died from Covid-19 in the US. That's more than the US battle deaths from...

  9. New CDC guidance says COVID-19 can spread through airborne transmission

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

  10. Anyone else wearing old scrubs whilst shopping/running errands?

    NewRN'16 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So lately I have been wearing sets of scrubs I no longer wear on the floor, while running errands, especially when shopping. I have gained quite a few pounds since I've started working as a...

  11. Help! I Can't Hear Lung Sounds

    NewRN'16 replied to msdecember31st's topic in General Nursing

    I would try an electronic stethoscope. I do not have one, but you can find them in places such Uniform Advantage , etc. Or you can just order one online and return it if it doesn't work for

  12. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

    NewRN'16 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I am not surprised one bit. What was he thinking not wearing a mask most of the time? Were none of his advisors a bit smarter than him?

  13. 200,000 people have died from Covid-19 in the US (so far)

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

    I can't believe it either. I'm in FL and everyone it's pretty terrified and shocked at my work. Our ID doctor keeps shaking his head when asked what is going to happen . The general advice is to make...

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

    Hahaha!! That would be a hoot!

  19. CDC tells states: Be ready to distribute vaccines on Nov. 1

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

    Well, I don't know if I will volunteer for it. If it is mandatory I will have no choice but accept it. Interesting that they warn states to "get ready". What do they mean by that? National Guard...

  20. What is your minimum base pay on Covid-19 unit???

    NewRN'16 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I just need an approximate point. They are offering us way below the other facilities around . I want to help, and have been , but I come home and I feel used, as my life is worth only a few $ more...

  21. How bad will it get in the fall/Winter time?

    NewRN'16 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    And is there anything we can do to prepare ourselves for what is to come?? Best case scenario, there will be a vaccine, however I highly doubt it we will have anything in the next few months. Is...

  22. How do you deal with the skin breakouts from wearing a mask for so long every day?

    NewRN'16 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I haven't found the answer. I sweat in my masks(kn95 plus regular surgical mask) and face shield a lot. I have to remove it to cleanse my face every shift multiple times Maybe I should switch back to...

  23. How bad will it get in the fall/Winter time?

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

    I may sound like a complete nut, but what if the virus survives in athmosphere more than previously thought? This thing is definitely airborne IMO. I at a loss

  24. What if Covid-19 doesn't go away

    NewRN'16 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    They are saying the antibodies are only lasting 2-3 months at best. What is it going to happen??? Are we all going to die? This virus is horrible and if a human being "designed" it, I wish they will...

  25. What if Covid-19 doesn't go away

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

    Ty Megan. It is frightening, and I guess none of us are prepared or know how to deal with this. I am looking into the supplement you mentioned . Ty so much for your reply. I am doing OK now, it's...
