Just because YOU don't see it does not mean that it doesn't exist. That is a pretty ignorant statement. It's funny to me when white people try to give their two cents to a minority dealing with racism-perceived or real. OP, hang in there. I wish you ...

I'm sorry, but I would be offended if someone told me that my cousin "is not a close enough relative." Who are you to say that? Also, I find you to be very intrusive by asking for such details. It is none of your business. Sick time is earned. Period...
I already speak Spanish and I'm so glad I do. I would love to learn more Polish (I speak a little bit). I'm in Chicago and there is a huge Polish speaking population. I would also love to learn Arabic and Tagalog.
I do not think you are a diva. You have a valid point. Nursing is the only profession where we are not rewarded for our experience, further education and certifications. And many just put up with it and then wonder why we are mistreated, overworked a...

What you are experiencing is a normal reaction to trauma. Make sure you're taking care of yourself-eating right, drinking water, taking time to relax, spending time w/loved ones, etc. I know that seems minor, but believe me that helps. Focusing on wh...
Exactly. If they're drug seeking in the ER, I doubt they're ready for rehab. Plus, it's soooooo difficult to get any sort of CD tx with or without insurance. But that's another thread...
That is your opinion-not a fact. In my opinion, nurses overall are way too overworked, underpaid and disrespected. At least my hospital's union looks out for us nurses. And no, I'm not lazy and negative. I work my tail off as do my fellow union co-wo...
Nursing is the only profession where advancing your education is seen as a bad thing. It is so embarrasing for the profession. How are we going to gain respect with this mindset? Also, I'm not sure where you live, but taking Spanish courses is a good...
I cannot comment on geriatrics since I've never worked with that population. However, I give the utmost respect to nurses who do. It has many challenges and setbacks that people don't consider. I've worked peds my whole career (8 yrs). I now work in...
Ok, first of all you haven't even mentioned saving for your daughter's college or your retirement. I guess material things are too important for all that grownup stuff. But I'm not taking this too seriously.
From lvn2bsoon: What? School board, as in college, I hope! But, you are liberal, so naturally I don't agree. You are against creation and against abstinence? Good, you pay for those teen girl abortions. I'd rather not. My choice. Wow, you're line o...
