It WAS an alien invasion! Just one person, an alien, from Liberia who had Ebola.

As an RN myself I completely agree with you on this.

I read on Pham’s bio that she graduated from nursing school and went directly into critical care nursing. When I graduated from nursing school, this rarely happened and was discouraged. It was believed that a new nurse needed experience on general medical surgical floors gaining experience before being considered for a position on a critical care floor. The things you learn on a general med surg floor are building blocks for patients that have more demanding care needs.

A new nurse is just not going to have enough practice and experience to deal with such complex patients. For example, on a general med/surg floor she might have practiced donning PPE for a MRSA patient who was under contact precautions. Here she (hopefully) would practice taking on and off equipment that she needed to protect herself...but without the risk of dying from Ebola.

Again, you are 100 percent correct on this issue. The reason why hospitals are putting green nurses in over their heads? They can pay them less.

Could be airborne, but the workers had completely inadequate gear and were overrun with overstacked waste.

Thanks for your response. My grandmother was a nurse and I learned a great deal from her. Thanks for all you do ;)

I’m not in the medical field but this surprises me. One would assume that more experience would be needed before critical care duties would be assigned.

I guess I shouldn’t assume anything.

I don't think Neil Young will be penning a song called '4 million dead in Ohio' anytime soon.

Nurses without experience are routinely hired into critical care units.

My husband is a neonatologist and his hospital frequently hires newly graduated nurses that require a lot of hand holding for a long time.

Well, based on past proclamations, that means those people, and those around them, ARE SO SCREWED.

Nothing in that story about where she came from. Just flying into Cleveland. Hmmm


I read somewhere that she was visiting family in Akron for 3 days.

Thanks, Dave. Pretty crazy huh?

What on earth would possess a (so-called) health worker, who was self-monitoring herself for signs of Ebola, to take a round trip flight to Cleveland??

Did in not occur to this moron that she just MIGHT be infectious?

Damn!

“2nd health worker will be the 1 transferred to Emory for treatment”

All of these ebola patients should have been isolated under negative air pressure at a level 4 facility

DUH

___________
Incubation period

The period of 42 days, with active case-finding in place, is twice the maximum incubation period for Ebola virus disease and is considered by WHO as sufficient to generate confidence in a declaration that an Ebola outbreak has ended.

Recent studies conducted in West Africa have demonstrated that 95% of confirmed cases have an incubation period in the range of 1 to 21 days; 98% have an incubation period that falls within the 1 to 42 day interval. WHO is therefore confident that detection of no new cases, with active surveillance in place, throughout this 42-day period means that an Ebola outbreak is indeed over.

It's all BS.. This Ebola hype is all BS. Think what you want but I'm
not buying it for a second. 30k+ die from auto accidents and we're all up
to our necks over Ebola. Give me a break.

So you going to restrict the right to travel for all healthcare workers who take care of an Ebola patient from here on out?

Yes.

I think it's like small pox....the virus is deposited everywhere as an infected person moves around.

They say the bug only lives for a little while. I think we'll find that's a hypothetical, too.

All the stats on this bug are hypothetical as it's never been a massive outbreak and "confinement" was enforced.

Obama is insane but will blame everything on the CDC.
