Nurses are furious, may strike, over inadequate Ebola training

The country's largest nursing union is considering the possibility of picketing hospitals if they do not offer more extensive training on how to treat Ebola patient.

Nurses United executive director RoseAnn DeMoro said in a conference call Wednesday that her group may take "pretty dramatic action for nurses across the country" that could "escalate into possible pickets at hospitals."

"We have heard consistently across the country that there are no protocols in place," she said.

Didn't Hussein and the CDC say something different?

Strike until visas are no longer taken from West Africa..

Let the DNC care for them.

[blondee123]

Yes, force their hand!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

But . . . but . . . I thought we had a protocol in place, and after these few cases are done with, it’ll be all rainbows, skittles and unicorn farts.

Coming to a hospital near you.

PING!

I don’t know why, but I’m somewhat suspicious about this coming from a union. I agree that health care workers haven’t been adequately prepared for the Ebola epidemic. But I can’t help thinking there is some ulterior motive behind this “protest” — such as a demand for higher wages.

"We have heard consistently across the country that there are no protocols in place," she said.

Hey, where are the protocols? I bet you that Obama is hording them and only giving them out to friends. I believe it's time to march on Washington and demand out protocols. Right now, the only thing that can protect Americans from Ebola are Protocols. Demand action now! Where is Rev. Jesse and Al? They need to get out in front of this now and start demanding protocols.

The CDC is recommending N95 masks; meanwhile, they still mandate level 4 containment facilities and protocols for their own work with this extremely high consequence pathogen. The CDC also tells us that Ebola is not an airborne pathogen despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. and the media is regurgitating the misinformation. Ebola is transmissable in aerosolized droplets produced by coughing, sneezing, vomitting, urinating, defecating, flushing a toilet, etc. It only takes 1-10 aerosilized viral units landing anywhere in your respiratory tract or mucous membranes to cause the disease. millions of viruses may be aerosolized by sneezing or coughing. An N95 mask filters out 95% of airborn particles. I'm pretty sure that 5% that makes it through the mask to your respiratory tract is more than 1-10.

I read that aerosolized droplets can be as small as 1 micron and stay airborne for many hours. N95 doesn’t capture anything nearly that small

Why isn’t Nina Pham in one of these premiere care and containment centers while the other nurse was rushed right it?

They get what they paid for....

[BobL]

Don’t be surprised if this union-babe nurse changes her tune and tells us that Ebola is the fault of Ted Cruz and that the Obama Administration is really doing a bang-up job on it.

...and just after that she hits it big on, maybe, cattle futures.

The Dems don’t allow union-types to stray very far, and she has definitely strayed.

[skr]

We should all go on strike.

[RC one]

exactly.

[Goreknowshowtocheat]

Shep, at Fox said everything is just fine. Do not worry. Don't believe the nurses in Dallas

[grania]

I still have no answer to this question:

What if someone gets flu with Ebola? Will that flu symptoms intensify the spread of the Ebola? I'm guessing nobody knows.

[Candor7]

it’ll be all rainbows, skittles and unicorn farts>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Of course it will BUT AMEICA WILL BE A CHARNAL GROUBD. Thats just what the left wants for the presidential election of 2016, creating the ultimate dependency of Americans on their government.Martial law will be declared and the election postponed.

The left will be victorious phyricly, America will be a grave yard full of pestilence.Thats the future, and someone needs to change it NOW!

[samtheman]

Strike until visas are no longer taken from West Africa..

I really wonder why the nurses aren't saying this.
