  4. African American patients - a cultural question

    The reading and comprehension are the basic skills required and usually tested (together with critical thinking skills) by nursing schools. This is nursing forum, right? In my version of reality - I do read, I do comprehend, and I do not side with ra...
  5. African American patients - a cultural question

    No need for crystal ball on my side. Maybe necessity to comprehend a written word on your would be sufficient. I wrote: "The reason is, some of them, one portion of those ignoring African Americans is that they are exhibiting sings of racism, as they...
  6. African American patients - a cultural question

    As I believe I said - some of them give attitude to white nurses only. Only and only and only one ethnicity. That fully fit the word of racist. (If I omit the comment about white potato, they gave to a white CNA attempting to take vitals.) If you hav...
  7. Hostile work environment - Violent Doctor

    Hi, ED is never boring! I can ensure you.

  12. Hostile work environment - Violent Doctor

    What I think about it: Oothers said, that the actions are not public and they are only between the MD and superior. Huh, that is true. Now think about it. Who the superior is? The director who hired this MD? What was the hiring process? Enclosed proc...
  13. Sabotaging in nursing

    There also is not a law, that would say that questions like: rate on scale one to five (one is the least, five is the most) employee was always (whatever they want to) are illegal. Anyone can say whatever they want. Sometimes, it can happened, it is ...
