   I am not Elizabeth Warren, but I am a Democrat, and truly care about the lives of marginalized people in our society. You are making generalizations that may or may not be true. Do you know Senator Warren? If not, judge her by her Senate record. When...

   I agree. I was simply giving the behavior a label, that I have seen a lot. Suffering is suffering. There should be no contest, when it comes to abuse, racism, homophobia, etc. It certainly doesn't make me feel good, when nurses, who are in a position...

   I am not ignorant of Senator Warren. She is an elected, US Senator, who is trying to use her position within the body which she serves, to highlight a huge problem in this country. To ignore her message, because she is the messenger, is ignorant.

   To return to the topic of the thread, the NY Times has an article about a Swedish law, that took effect in 2012, and gives PAID leave of 30 days, to a spouse, or other caregiver, of a postpartum mom. Sweden Finds A Simple Way To Improve New Mother's ...

   As another poster stated, get used to patients not saying thank you, and behaving as though you are concierge at the Ritz-Carlton Resort and Spa. Keep in mind, nursing is just a job. Don't let it define you. Develope outside interests, lots of them. ...

   The problem is, some folks on this thread, have allowed their political biases to cloud something we should all be able to agree on: Better maternal outcomes for women. I am unabashed Liberal. But when good ideas come from across the aisle, I embrace...

10. Is it like this everywhere now?

    guest52816 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, they are. The large teaching hospital in Lexington, KY hires ADNs (they hired me), but you must earn your BSN, within five years (they help pay for it). The second-largest hospital in Lexington, will also hire ADNs, with the same stipulations, a...

    Funny you bring this up. An MD, working in the VA system in KY, has been fined $5,000 and made to undergo education, as he was found to have falsified the blood pressure readings of patients. He charted 128/78, a normal reading, in order to avoid add...

    I do not understand your response. Closing the gap, of racial disparities in healthcare only benefits DNP students? If there is a joke here, I am missing it.

    Elizabeth Warren did not look silly. Those who look silly, are those who criticize her remarks, without knowing the studies that prove what she is saying is true. If it matters to you, you can probably do a Google search to find out more on the topic...

    Have you not read any of reports on racial disparities in healthcare? I was aware of the problem, long before becoming a nurse. While working as a public reporter, I produced a story about the inequalities in healthcare between Blacks and Whites back...
