   Frankly, our country would be infinitely better off if everyone was a social justice warrior. The opposite of social justice is complacency with ignorance, bigotry, racism, lack of empathy, misogyny etc. This country is only as strong as the most vul...

   Absolutely. I recently attended a presentation by one of the leaders of the social determinants of health model and I think it's crucial that all healthcare professionals and institutions shift towards this model in order to even begin to get a handl...

4. Bringing in the Boys: How to Attract More Male Nurses

   nehneh14 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

   No, the entire twitter thread was about why cultural competency was so vital in a health care arena. The responding resident agreed that this was about race. There was code switching that needed to happen and no one else in the group was recognizing ...

   nehneh14 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

   I mean, my god. Imagine having all of the privileges and advantages of being male (let alone being a white male) in this society and still being bent out of shape that women feel they deserve equal pay. It's astonishing, really. Gotta laugh so you do...

   BBM "If you are 100% sure that all else is equal" Oh FFS, are you STILL questioning whether my experience was real???? All things WEREN'T equal, I had a BSN (he did not) and I am a woman. And no, I didn't negotiate, I was a brand new nurse, first nur...

   nehneh14 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, it's like a bat signal goes up any time a woman asserts her right to equal treatment. "The womynz are gettin' uppity in here, must go in and quash the rebellion!!!" Another easy way to spot MRAs is that they use the word "females" instead of "wo...

8. Bringing in the Boys: How to Attract More Male Nurses

   nehneh14 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

   She's wrong, because it happened to me. And of course people on the same floor make different wages. If you've been a nurse longer on your unit, you make more than a newcomer. The point is, he and I were hired THE SAME TIME. I had my BSN. He had an a...

    nehneh14 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    You're right. There's not enough time in the day. I'm not going to debate a MRA. You're right. Men are better, men deserve more, men are bigger, stronger, smarter, braver, more hard working, more selfless, maligned, persecuted, victimized, have no bo...

11. Bringing in the Boys: How to Attract More Male Nurses

    nehneh14 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    Um...yes. We were both new grads, new hires, on a med surg unit in eastern Washington state. Both night shift. There was no wage negotiation. There was no union. I was the only BSN on the floor (which went over like a lead balloon, and also I was not...

    nehneh14 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    Well, it's a well known fact that men get paid more than women with very, very few (any???) industry exceptions. You may want to read some of the highly relevant links posted up thread. This isn't really a topic for genuine debate; the gender based w...

    nehneh14 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    Snipped for brevity: BBM "Did"?????? Huh, missed the part where they "did" that... And as for "less like a hen house where the pecking order is the only order", you're telling on yourself. If you think male dominated work spaces are any less fraug...

    "Whatever expectations based on gender in a given society is not the invention of the male gender,": Debatable. To answer your questions: And I should say, I'm making the assumption that you're American, but from your response, perhaps not?) 1) Mayb...
