No, I don't accuse someone of rudeness because I disagree with them. I’m a mature woman and a professional. I am fully capable of disagreeing with someone’s perspective, without accusing them of anything other than what’s clearly given off, in person...
Your tone was rude. Perhaps you don't think so, but that’s what came across (I.e. “Flying fig” and “stupid sticker.”) If you spoke to a colleague or patient in person with a similar tone, you may find resistance or someone unwilling to talk to you.
I don’t think it’s all stickers. I think I specified “I did my part” stickers. I agree with Wuzzie that “I got vaccinated” is akin to “I voted.” “I did my part” is a slightly different message IMO.
I fully agree. Have a look at my previous post. I said people can make others feel guilty for better or for worse. Guilt definitely isn’t always bad. I just think there is an inherent guilt trip with these stickers and I don’t think that’s the place ...
I would encourage you to be more specific then. However, it is most definitely propaganda and it absolutely elicits guilt for some, which isn't the role of health care providers. Our role is to educate and allow others to make an informed decision. "...
I'd have to disagree. It is entirely possible to encourage others to feel guilty because of their action/inaction. People do it to others all the time. Does the person feeling guilty ultimately yield their own feelings? Absolutely. However, it would ...
These are my exact thoughts. Pfizer’s & Moderna’s mRNA vaccines were tested in approx 78k people collectively (with only approx half of that receiving the vaccine). That is 0.0002% of the US pop. (using 2019 #s). In the world of science this says...

Hi there, I agree with others who say your manager was speaking out of her own disappointment. I have been a nurse for 9yrs. In that 9yrs I had been unable to get into the hospital. I finally did on an insanely busy surgical floor. I worked nights. ...

I understand the opioid crisis is a very touchy issue but a unused manufacturer sealed vial that is returned does not seem like a fireable offense. Even so, I'm curious as to why someone else needed to be alerted. Simply drive back to work and return...

Hi there, I was a dialysis nurse for nearly 5 years. Ive been a nurse 9yrs. Prior to dialysis I only worked on a subacute unit in the nursing home for about 1yr. To be honest, I truly beg to differ on the getting 1-2 years of bedside care experience ...
I wear only Calzuro clogs. My feet never hurt my back never hurts and my legs never ache. Danskos are uncomfortable to me possible because of the weight and the top banding squeezes the top of my feet.
