3 Ways nurses can survive the zombie apocalypse

Zombies: they are everywhere you look nowadays.  You may think that, for nurses, zombies and all they represent are works of fiction.

However, most zombie plagues in movies, television, and books portray the spreading of the undead as an easily transmissible infection.  Whether through bite, air, or blood, zombies are the ultimate pandemic horror story.

As nurse, we are the on the front lines when it comes to pandemics.

We are the most at risk if influenza becomes airborne, if Ebola breaks out, or if a bird or swine flu makes the jump to humans.

Will nurses ever see zombies?

No, but you can learn from the idea of a zombie apocalypse to help protect yourself, your facility, and your family from a pandemic that is really scarier than any zombie ever could be.

Mode of Transmission

Transmission in zombie movies usually occurs from a bite wound as the creature seeks to feed on the flesh of the living.

In some fiction, though, infection seems to be airborne, meaning you’ll turn into a “walker” even if you die from some other reason.

This is an important point of consideration when looking at real pandemics.

Although it isn’t common for nurses to be bitten by patients – though certainly not unheard of! – we are often exposed to blood and blood products.

Blood borne epidemics are nothing new.  AIDS and hepatitis are both examples of pathogens that travel this way, and that’s why we employ universal precautions.

The problem will arise when infectious diseases become airborne.  Tuberculosis and some forms of avian and swine flus can be transmitted this way, but luckily, they have not broken out of the small areas of influence to impact the world.

Handling the Infected

Of course, knowing how the zombie plague is transmitted helps you to understand how to treat them.  Shooting, knifing, or bludgeoning them in the head may help you to save your life in a zombie encounter.

Similarly, you need to take measures to protect yourself against pandemics and those who may become infected by them.

Universal precautions can block against most pathogens, but airborne and droplet transmitted diseases require more protection.

In addition to wearing gloves, eye protection, and gowns, a pandemic situation may call for various types of masks.

Simple masks may be enough to stop the transmission of some diseases, but respirators will be called for with virulent and highly contagious conditions.

Your facility should have measures in place to react to large-scale pandemics.  For this reason, knowing how to use the masks and respiratory equipment can keep you safe in the event of a wildly contagious epidemic.

Vaccines and Medicines

In the world of zombies, there are no vaccines or medications to take.  Once you are infected, you turn, and you never get well again.

Fortunately, most of the known contagious conditions do have vaccines and medications available for them.

Although all nurses should get their yearly flu shot, it will not help in cases of new strains of the disease.

Medications are also available for some infectious diseases, such as antibiotics.

However, some diseases such as Ebola do not have any known cure and may as well be a zombie plague for all the help medicine can give it.

As a nurse, you will be called upon to receive the newest vaccines against epidemics to ensure that you can safely care for your patients.  Antibiotics may be in short supply, but most conditions tend to respond well to these measures.

If a pandemic starts, nurses will be needed for their medical expertise and patient management.

Unlike the zombie apocalypse, measures are in place to keep medical staff and further patients safe from a spreading microbe.

Watch The Year After Infection Now!

The outbreak is over. The government couldn't stop it. Modern medicine couldn't cure it. The military couldn't contain it.

Four stories. Four seasons.

Through each season, the human condition is explored after the apocalypse. The very things that saved them during the outbreak eat away at them all.

Survivors deal with long term isolation, lawlessness, illness, the emotional scars of the actions they took to survive, and the failure to adjust to the reality that has emerged The Year After Infection.

Will they survive? Will they want to?

Is this cheating...?

Romero Disses 'The Walking Dead,' Calls It a 'Soap Opera'

Oh no you didn’t, George Romero! The legendary horror filmmaker of “Night of the Living Dead” told a British magazine he said no to an offer to direct episodes of the AMC mega-hit “The Walking Dead” because the drama is “just a soap opera with a zombie occasionally.”

“They asked me to do a couple of episodes of ‘The Walking Dead,’ but I didn’t want to be a part of it,” Romero said in the Halloween edition of The Big Issue. “Basically it’s just a soap opera with a zombie occasionally. I always used the zombie as a character for satire or a political criticism, and I find that missing in what’s happening now.”

Romero, the father of zombie cinema whose seminal “Night of the Living Dead” is in the National Film Registry, also seems to have an issue in general with modern film and TV zombies and the pace at which they try to track down their human snacks.

“I guess Zack Snyder started that with the remake of ‘Dawn of the Dead’ — fast-moving zombies — but the zombies in ‘World War Z,’ my God, they’re like army ants! But in all the [advertisements] here, they never called it a zombie film,” Romero said.

He also never referred to his zombies as "zombies" in “Night of the Living Dead,” he pointed out. “I never thought they were zombies. To me back then, zombies were those voodoo guys who were given some sort of blowfish cocktail and became slaves. And they weren’t dead, so I thought I was doing a brand new thing by raising the dead. Not that the dead haven’t been risen before… It goes back to Jesus, doesn’t it?”

“The Walking Dead,” which airs the fourth episode of Season 4 this Sunday, certainly isn’t hurting for viewers. “Dead” is far and away the number one series on cable, and one of the top-rated series in the 18-49 demographic amongst all broadcast and cable shows.

So we’re guessing the “Dead” folks won’t take the remarks by Romero — who’s also expressed his disapproval of “The Da Vinci Code,” the level of Ron Howard’s passion for filmmaking, and “Saw III” in the past — to heart.

Still, it is fun to think about a Romero-directed adventure with Rick Grimes, Michonne, Daryl, and The Governor…

"The Walking Dead" airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on AMC.

Yet ANOTHER Remake of Romero's Day of the Dead Planned

          (my interpretation of the new poster with zombie art from salejovic @ deviantart.com)


With the tremendous box office of director Marc Forster's World War Z and "The Walking Dead" continuing to be one of the most successful shows on television, it doesn't look like zombies are going anywhere anytime soon. It should come as no surprise then that Deadline is reporting that one of the all-time undead classics, Day of the Dead, is planning a big screen remake.

George Romero followed his genre-defining Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead withDay of the Dead in 1985. Set in an underground military base, the film follows the zombie apocalypse from the point of view of both soldiers, scientists and a zombie test subject named Bub.

The new film will arrive from Vicarious Entertainment, who has teamed with Campbell Grobman Films to develop Day Of The Dead, a remake of George Romero’s zombie extravaganza that is set at Millenium Films.

Day of the Dead was previously remade in 2008 as a direct-to-home video effort. The producers on the new film are promising that it will attempt to honor Romero's original and assure that the zombies will be of the slow-moving horde variety. 

Production is planned for later this year with a 2014 release being targeted.

 

                                      I feel your pain, Bub, I really do...

UF grad’s Chicken Soup zombie book pulled from Amazon

A zombie-themed spoof on the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” books created by a UF alumnus has been pulled from Amazon.com due to trademark concerns.

“Chicken Soup for the Undead Soul” was published on the site Oct. 12 and removed Nov. 1.

The e-book includes a collection of stories that touch on zombie pregnancy, mummy love and self-esteem issues of the undead.

Jordan Alva, creator of the book, said most of the stories were intentionally left unfinished so that readers can write their own endings. In light of the recent suspension, those stories may never have an ending.

“Amazon emailed me and said that they’ve suspended book sales, and have done so because a third party has notified them that there may be some trademark concerns,” Alva said.

Alva said he is looking into alternative ways to distribute the book but hopes to resolve the issue.

“I plan right now on continuing on the path that I’m on,” Alva said, “until I’m convinced that I am actually doing something that’s wrong.”

Alva said he has always been interested in donating proceeds of the book to a charity that encourages writing among students. The book may become available online for free with a requested donation for this cause.

“It’s not about money; it’s about having fun and getting people to write,” Alva said.

Emily Olson, a contributing author to the book, said she supported Alva’s idea of making the book available with a donation to a charity.

“If it gets people writing more and thinking more creatively, that’s something that I could easily get behind, no matter what motivates it,” she said.
