These contracts are likely emergency contracts, which pay outrageously but often require a full week of 12-hour shifts or something similar with the expectation the nurse will only do one week then recover. I've seen this for COVID pea

I would add that travel nurses are treated better in a lot of ways. Staff nurses must attend certain meetings and training aimed at standardizing care and improving outcomes. The travelers don't have to attend. Travelers can take off p

Or take a friend's jet? Or rent one? There are a lot of ways to travel via plane that don't broadcast your body's location.

Not to discount your friend's experience, but I haven't seen a recent study for which this is true. Selection criteria aren't secret; they're on clinicaltrials.gov and published in the eventual data used for FDA approval

For what it's worth, I'm an in vivo pharma researcher, and the standard is to not euthanize unless we need tissue. Unfortunately, I'd guess that 99% of the time, we need to collect blood, spleens, livers, etc. and doing so r

The immediate similar product that springs to mind is the speed cameras. They'll tell you your speed along with a speed limit sign as you drive by them, but every single one I've seen in the past decade will just flash and say som

I work in a pharma company, and I have been working with the animal model they use for this paper regularly for the past 4 or 5 years. I am not an mRNA therapy expert by any means, so I'll only comment on the results from the MOG35-55

I don't know, but the way they casually let them in doesn't look like they're retreating from the position. If they were, why open the barriers? Why wouldn't they just back up from the position to their fallback position

Shooting into a moving car is insanely dangerous. The expected outcome is an uncontrolled moving car.

I haven't heard that about Wirecutter, and I think that would devastate their brand (and maybe hurt NYT's) if true.

I was trying to figure this out before. As I understand it from other discussions (someone please correct me if I'm wrong), the majority of developers bundle Epic's engine with their game, so it is delivered with the game in the a

It's possible Apple would then proactively reach out to the largest developers to make similar deals, but the risk is pretty low to Apple if it takes a company willing to launch a multi-year lawsuit costing millions and millions of dol

In short, they can right now. There's an Association of Art Museum Directors. Usually, the consequence for selling art to pay bills would result in that museum being censured by the art museum directors. They announced a couple months

That can be very difficult. Increasingly, physicians employ a staff of PAs and/or nurse practitioners who handle cases. Those staff seem to move around more frequently than physicians, so even if I keep going to the same office, the st

It is entirely possible that the national parties will never back these reforms, but that local party candidates for city government could see success backing some or all of them.

Protesting can have a lasting effect. There are small changes happening all over the country already. In my city, the mayor has requested a total overhaul of the police use of force policy within 14 days. In another city, the mayor (who doe

Right. And this is the justification given during a press conference the next morning; it's not some on-the-spot question asked to the deputy chief of Indianapolis Police. It's a dumb excuse. Plus, it's literally one block lo

I can weigh in a bit on what the police claim happened here in Indianapolis. They won't account for all of their CS deployments, which I think is crazy, but they did address why it started the other day (Saturday?). Their claim is that

Partially, maybe. But there's also a large role of qualified immunity and poor use of force policies in departments around the country. If an officer isn't required to report every time they threatened lethal force, it doesn'

If they don't respond in their reporters' interest, they won't have reporters risking arrest and hazard to report for them.

It's possible, but also, there's precedent from 2014 in Ferguson. Several members of credentialed media were arrested and assaulted to various degrees. Pretty much nothing happened by way of punishment other than a settlement from

If this is true, then people smashing property is actually the effective way forward. Pressure on property owners should cause them to push elected officials to rein in police forces. I'm not convinced it's true, but it does make

There's a difference between the kind of quarantine expected with a positive test vs not knowing. Once you test positive, you're not supposed to leave the house at all for 14 days, and only then with clearance from the local healt

I know this isn't the point you're making, but I find smart lights useful for automatically turning on or off at various times. I don't use Hue, but I think that part should still work if you lost internet connectivity. I sus

That seems to be a big difference to me. I wonder if this is more like SeedInvest than KickStarter, but more people understand the Kickstarter model. I can't look now, because I'm getting a "site can't be reached" e

No, that's exceedingly rare. That kind of thing that only happens for super rare diseases, maybe like the ebola vaccine that was quickly developed over the past few years, where the economics are very upside down for companies to do th

I'm not sure I'd notice if it rolled out to a lot of the apps I use, though. I mostly stay logged in for things that don't require login every use (lastpass, banks, etc).
