1. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

   milmom35 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

   @Numenor are you saying that: 1. The media is the problem because they don't feature stories about non-black folks getting murdered? Seriously, aren't we all tired of constantly hearing ALL these reports about black men getting shot, arrested, beaten...

2. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

   milmom35 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

   interesting observation...by "society" I'm guess you mean the media? Help me understand, are you saying: a) saying the media needs to stop reporting on "black and white issues" since they've filled the quota? Do we need to vote on a limit on how man...

3. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

   milmom35 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

   You mention safety...So who will police the police if their #1 priority is to go home (at all costs, even that of human life)? Isn't it ironic that their job is to KEEP the public safe? Wouldn't you agree that respect is to be earned? As for nurse sa...

4. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

   milmom35 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

   That's an important step because bystanders have a legal and responsibility to step in when they witness a colleague perpetrating such a horrific act. It's unfortunate that there's a culture of silence which allows the "bad apples" on the police forc...

5. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

   milmom35 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

   Would you please clarify what you mean by "non-black police killings"? If you're talking about the police killing people of other races--I'm sure that happens too. There are avenues to address violence among BIPOC and in fact there are a lot of coali...

   milmom35 replied to JDougRN's topic in COVID

   @want2bsuccessful I'm glad to send a message to my recruiter contacts to get more information. The crisis positions I've seen so far range from Critical Care and ED to Telephone Triage. Will follow up with a DM.

8. New grad RN - feeling alone and lost at sea

   milmom35 replied to covidletmebeanurse's topic in COVID

   Sorry you're going through such a traumatic experience with work and personal life. 1. Does your employer have an EAP (Employee Assistance Program)? Contact them ASAP and get connected to a therapist. Taking care of your mental & emotional wellbe...

9. Crisis travel assignments for Covid-19?

   milmom35 replied to JDougRN's topic in COVID

   I was a Traveller on the West Coast and my assignment ended right before the pandemic (thankfully). I advise caution even though the high pay is very tempting for many of us. Whatever they're paying you, know they're making much more $$ while you are...

10. Am I a coward for going on FMLA due to COVID?

    milmom35 replied to ML1376's topic in COVID

    You've got to take care of yourself first. No job is worth your health and wellbeing. As nurses, we often sacrifice ourselves endlessly, but there has to be a limit and this is clearly one for you. All the best.

11. MBA or no? Need Major Advice

    milmom35 replied to raecudzy1's topic in Post Graduate

    Sounds like you're not committed to this MBA program so may be best to leave and return later on. This is what I would recommend: 1. Before you drop the class, talk to someone who knows more about your academic background and strengths--ie your facul...

12. Best nursing job for a returning to workforce mom

    milmom35 replied to jplcp's topic in Career Support

    It depends on what your career goal is: if you want to get back to the hospital then a refresher program followed by a New Grad residency is an option. But, this often means doing rotating 12hr shifts, holidays, etc and not the best balance for famil...

13. How important is it to get a BSN?

    milmom35 replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Students

    Like most people who posted here, I urge you to go for the BSN if you plan on having a nursing or other healthcare career (even non-bedside roles). Even being near retirement may not give you an easy pass--one of my nurse managers went back for her B...

14. Hospice Nurses is my Wife getting lowballed

    milmom35 replied to Vraktar's topic in General Nursing

    Pay varies by location of the country. But this sounds low for the amount of hours they require her to work, even in places with lower cost of living.If I was offered this, I'd keep looking for another job. A company that doesn't value one's contrib...
