1. Covid and Hospitals: How are things now?

   DesiDani replied to CrunchRN's topic in COVID

   Isn't the point is to scare people into getting the vaccine. COVID after all is deadly (true) so why not put a little deadly fear and shame on the ignorant who won't get vaccinated. Don't question me, question why you don't like the tone (I gue...

   Are you kidding me? Oh boy. Just stop too much.

3. Covid and Hospitals: How are things now?

   DesiDani replied to CrunchRN's topic in COVID

   Irony. Is it true or not? Will anyone who is not vaccinated either die or may eventually be the cause of others to die because they will spread COVID? Isn't that the desired and only message that should be shared about vaccines? Wait...why ...

4. Covid and Hospitals: How are things now?

   DesiDani replied to CrunchRN's topic in COVID

   So does that mean if you are not vaccinated and get COVID you are likely 100% (with a few exceptions) guaranteed to end up in the ICU and then die. That if you do get COVID and if you are not vaccinated you will definitely end up hospitalized. With ...

   The experience of a CNA makes all the difference, just like it does with an RN.

9. Can I still be a great nurse without prior CNA experience?

   DesiDani replied to azulaflameRN's topic in New Nurse

   I think it also depends on where a CNA has worked. In a LTC facility they may have an leg up with basic ADL care. If they are from a hospital and has yrs experience working in an IMC, ER, or Med-Surg unit they will have a leg up on way more than ADL ...

10. CNA's Are Tired Of Laziness

    DesiDani replied to mlmckenzie's topic in LPN/LVN

    CNAs get paid minimum wage in some states. Take that into account when reading all of the Task that they do. When the issue of patient to staff ratio comes up they are most likely referring to RNs. I don't believe there is a cap for CNAs. It cos...

    DesiDani replied to CrunchRN's topic in COVID

    Some reflection. Just thinking about that thread which mentions how a patient refusing her immune compromise husband to be treated by an unvaccinated nurse, despite that nurse properly wearing PPE. Now nurses are allowed to work while COVID positive...
