    NewRN'16 replied to seeing123's topic in General Nursing

    No you won't be denied a job. Your condition requires the medication you're taking, according to your provider. Do not let them bully you into thinking you are doing something wrong. Take your...

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

  6. Workplace Safety and PPE

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

    K95s are better than surgical masks. Try to find those. I also wear a surgical mask on top of the K95 . I change the surgical masks quite often. On edit: I buy my K95s at $5 a mask at my local gas...

  8. No Scott Toilet Paper?

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

    They want to eliminate cash at all costs. So there is nothing left to trade, except maybe barter services. It's all about population control. They couldn't enslave us before, now they have their...

  12. Workplace Safety and PPE

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

    Hahaha!! The CDC doesn't live in reality, it's obvious! I can't discard my K95 that easily! (we don't have N95s) I could probably get a new mask every week or so. I ended up buying my own K95s but...
