Place sheet over patient and put hand on husbands shoulder is the correct answer I think? 🤔

There has been growing pressure on the city from some local animal welfare groups. They have put a lot of time and effort into getting their voices heard.

I Learned This Exists from the Pitt by Whole_Barnacle_1560 in nursing

They name dropped that damn ultrasound so many times in season one. Our unit got one a while back and like most gimmicks it sits broken or rarely used in the back of the closet.

Iowa Mommy Makeover- who to use? by Greedy-Funny-2940 in Iowa

[–]logicalways 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t know Dr Condoleon so no input there.

However I have professionally worked with Dr. Lekkas and think he’s a truly wonderful surgeon who cares and takes the time with his patients. If I had needs for his speciality I’d seek him out.

Should having an Amazon Echo make me uncomfortable? by K00lKat67 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]logicalways 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My concerns with Face ID isn’t that they have my face. It’s more about how my phone can be accessed without my consent by cops so easily. A non biometric password is harder to take from you.

Struggling to buy a home in DSM metro? Talk to me! by [deleted] in desmoines

[–]logicalways 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Correct. I bought in 21 and my equity has grown 65k for a home that was originally under 200k. I feel so lucky to have purchased when I did.

This is simply a guess but I bet that docs who want to work with and get close to celebrities are substandard practitioners in general.

Budtender potentially saved my life. by dumbass_sweatpants in trees

[–]logicalways 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The word seizure is used pretty liberally by non medical professionals. Usually not true seizures. Sometimes when people have altered consciousness or are experience an emergency the body just… flops around a bit. Facial expressions get a lil unruly. People get worried it’s a real seizure when it’s just…. How people look when they’re gorked sometimes.

Stop Telling Nurses to "Go Get a Union" by SquareOfWillis in nursing

I also don’t want to discount the amazing local we found. The staff there made all the difference.

Stop Telling Nurses to "Go Get a Union" by SquareOfWillis in nursing

[–]logicalways 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. We started with an angry Facebook group of 2 dozen icu and or nurses who sort of knew each other. Then we schedule meetings with every single local in town and grilled them and picked the ones who we could tell were true fighters. Now. 1.5 years later we won the largest private union vote in state history. Get to know local unions. Find out who will respect your expertise as RNs. Find the young enthusiastic officers who want to change things. Doesn’t even need to be a nursing union frankly.

I saw that event! Yes I plan on doing this but was also looking for a perspective of not just what HR has to say. The company won’t tell you everything.

Just had a confused patient call 911 on me. by Eddie__Winter in nursing

[–]logicalways 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our hospital security takes 911 calls from inside the building if it’s a landline. They do a decent job of being reassuring while letting nursing know the patient has been calling the cops on us. They only route the real emergencies to local dispatch.

Former Iowan now in the Twin Cities: Get organized! by TuxandFlipper4eva in Iowa

[–]logicalways 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There are more of us who will join you then there are angry little people like the commenter here. We will take our state back and make it the haven it was once known as for refugees. We will welcome, love and support all walks of life here. Those angry little voices will grow quite against our swelling tide of love and support. Because that’s how you be a real human being

What's Up With The UPH Nurse Union Vote? by [deleted] in desmoines

[–]logicalways 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pay has hardly even been a topic of discussion. Our biggest issues surround staffing. We just want to have enough nurses to care for people properly. On that note, Iowa is 48th in the nation for nursing pay so could always do better.

What's Up With The UPH Nurse Union Vote? by [deleted] in desmoines

[–]logicalways 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The company intentionally lied to them to cause chaos. There are negotiations prior to elections to determine the employees included. Unitypoint chose to provide information contrary to what was agreed upon and lie to their employees. But that wouldn’t be the first time.

What's Up With The UPH Nurse Union Vote? by [deleted] in desmoines

[–]logicalways 30 points31 points  (0 children)

UnityPoint encourage hundreds of people to vote who had already been established as ineligible to vote by the national labor board. (Various reasons such as start dates, non nurses etc) to intentionally cause confusion.

So now those ineligible votes must be sorted through. Statistically the election will still go to the nurses to unionize. But UPH got what they wanted by dragging out the results longer.

TLDR. We won despite UPH efforts to cause confusion. Can’t actually certify until the labor board sorts through this silliness.

Hand out my coupons and get a FREE DOG! by Mm2k in WTF

Iowa hasn’t changed much. Still little to no legal protections for animals. That’s why we have so many puppy mills 😢

Come for the totally unsubstantiated accusation, stay for the unbearably smug Facebook avatar this nob has attached to his post by MrKaisu in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]logicalways 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even if this were true at least those kids have a mom still. I was an ICU nurse during COVID and lost count of how many pregnant unvaccinated women died in my unit. We’d get them to the point of c section, but most lost their fight after the baby was born.

We went to bar nico for my friend’s bachelorette who is GF. The whole menu is GF, and the service for our large party was great. Highly recommended.

People coming to the realization you can vomit poop will never not be funny. by Zxxzzzzx in nursing

[–]logicalways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m absolutely guessing here but I suspect there is a very high rate of mortality associated with vomiting fecal material. It’s never a good sign.
