Nurse practitioner here

We just got the email to order them yesterday, sized myself and placed the order so should be here in about 10 days. In mean time I have been reusing n95s and goggles because that's all we can get. Haven't been able to get any gowns

>tfw mask fetish
hot damn muh dick.

You're still a nurse.

Nah that's for travel medicine. If a patient is going to another country need to know the drug resistance in that country. For example, malarone may work in one country while doxycycline is better in another. Hard to memorize this since so many countries and the info changes often so that's what you use cdc malaria resistance info for

isn't TB a bacteria infection?

kek how many of you are /ourguys/?
Also is USA fucked?

We got the email, sized, and waiting for order. Stuck with smelly n95 that I've been using for 10 days at the moment. Can't wait for n99 though even though it looks obnoxious at least it won't smell like sweat

this is so fucking dumb. well you better wash your hands after EVERY patient you are around, and then wash them again before you leave the clinic. you are the ones spreading this disease now, you and the fucking nurses at the hospitals.

good thread user, followed all guidelines for a legit thread

Why not just post a video?

Tb is bacterial but the precautions are airborne (n95 or higher). Colds and flu historically have been considered droplet (no respirator needed just surgical mask). Corona virus at least covid19 is more of a cold virus just a particularly nasty strain, and in the past we never used airborne precautions for this

next time don't show your shirt dummy

nigger change your shirt, you asshole. why would you put on the coat with that
button on?

>BUY MY MASKS

as in you could be identified that way

How long does that one your wearing work? Do you bake and re use?

A nurse that can see my own patients now and prescribe :) fancy nurse. Rn and Np slightly different roles but yeah still not a physician. "Mid-level provider" they call it

you're a fag

go full gulf war anthrax my dude

Thanks for the info nursebro

Yeah it's awful. My coworkers are getting quarantined and not allowed to work when we are unlucky enough to get a covid patient since we don't have full Ppe. Cdc says if patient is masked+ you are masked and goggles risk is low so we've been doing that even for patients with toe pain or flu shots. Thing is outpatient clinic rooms don't have the best airflow so if someone w covid coughs in it we have to switch rooms for two hours. Kills your clinic volume. Went from seeing 20-30 people a day to about 5. Most are normal stuff though but now anyone w a sore throat, runny nose, cough, fever, etc is very suspicious

This. OP is some failed insurance salesman.

>not using P3 filters + 3m 7500's with cool air flow so you can use that shit for more than 2 hours without flooding the inside with sweat
ain't gonna make it

Also we wash hands and wipe down eveererything like 50 times a day even for normal visits like vaccines. It's obnoxious but I will say I no longer get sick anymore since doing all this

>Being a fat ass

post hand in sharps bucket

Hard to do that w.o getting personal identifying info, w pics I can crop out a lot of background stuff unique to my company or self. Would get fired for posting company info (guarantee a lot of US anons have been to my clinic it's a big company)

Good luck, my dude. My pops is an ICU doc assigned to a covid unit. My mom is also an ER nurse.

i'm surprised you do that, and glad. maybe it's because you're in a small clinic. the larger hospitals are worse than the third world when it comes to hygiene. i'm not even kidding, the nurses and doctors here never wash their hands. in the third world it is standard practice to always wash hands. that's why the disease isn't spreading in japan, south korea, singapore, germany, etc. it's because they wash their hands after every patient.

i'm just trolling nigger, chill
and the one thing you should learn with reusable is decontaminating it

:( Have mercy people just trying to post good info. I didn't know about N vs P mask prior to reading all that thought it would be useful

reusable masks**

You can reuse n95s? Da fug, isn’t that shit supposed to be one time use only?

only if you work in an hospital or really contaminated environment like OP does
every single country is releasing guidelines on how to reuse them

Cook in over at around 180 degrees for 15 minutes

OP is finna be a stinky little bitch. Those respirators make you sweat like a motherfucker.

I've been using it for roughly 2 weeks but I work 3 days a week and the clinic volume has really crashed w all this so I'm only seeing 5 people a day on average. I take it off after if it's not a patient w cough so I'd say have probably used it 20 hours total. Leave the inside open to air so any sweat dries and they are good until visibly soiled or torn. N95s filter air thru the tightness of the fit around your nose mouth race etc The thing in front is simply an exhaust vent so your glasses don't fit and it's not so hot, it's not the filtration

Thanks good luck to them as well. Switched IP cuz off WiFi now and going to work

>that level of (((organised))) mass hysteria

if going grocery shopping please use at a minimum a p100 full face respirator or at least half mask with goggles, a tychem f full body suit incl. bootees with heavy duty ncbr gloves. also carry heavy weaponry in case normies attempt to assault/remove your gear. the time is now to be on time to the grocery store rocking your apocalypse gear fully automatic virus slayer death garb

Nurse practitioner here as well - new york, cardiology, trauma center.

I called it that the virus was airborne for quite a bit of time. Nobody believed me. I have a p100 mask that I wear. If I get told to take it off I tell them to fire me and I'll go home and file bankruptcy.

It historically has been one time use but in the face of either having nothing or reusing, reusing is a better option. Cdc actually put out guidance on this for healthcare professionals essentially saying what can be reused and in what circumstance. If you can't get new stuff you should at minimum use it whole work day. N95s in particular can be used multiple days until soiled or damaged

200k dead in america, we'll never hear the end of this shit. it's going to reshape world culture for 90 years. fucking gay.

based. thanks for info dump. bought a 3m one of these sometime ago. stay safe user and post if anythign interesting you notice please.

You're probably safe, but it is good to take measures you know.

That was a mature response. Are you in the right place?

>Claims to be nurse practitioner
>Never heard of N99 masks
>Old timestamp
You're a faggot larper

>Cool though because these last three months and are reuseable (just clean mask and change filters q 3 mo
You don't think this has anything to do with it? It's not like we're going through a N95 shortage....

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respirator
Here you go nurse.
More info on filters so that you know what the numbers mean and what equivalents exist out there

Your masks won't protect any of you. Those masks are for sanding, choking, grinding and doing general construction labor. The only mask you'll ever need is the plague doctor mask. Not because it will protect you, but because it will scare the normies.

Why not skip the n99 and get p100 filters at that point?

Respirator filters last longer due to the valves protecting the filters from exhalation, they only intake air, which is usually clean. The life span is therefore only determined by barrier blockage.
Disposable masks gunk up within the day but you can remedy that by drying them up in the oven at 70C for half an hour.
That said, attachable filters with valve protection is the superior option.

However, I think for your patients sake there should be a post-protection barrier on the exhale valve (middle).
A valves respirator or disposable mask, such as the one here will not prevent the doctor from infecting people.

I have a design for a frame-respirator that uses non valved disposable mask material as filters and would make them clean, durable and safe both ways. It's rather ingenious, but I dunno who to pitch it to since it recycles cheap stuff, PPE manufacturers wouldn't be interested.

n99 is probably cheaper

Bump for interest.

Also hang the 3M execs for treason.
