  1. People with asthma in England fear being harassed and denied services for not being able to wear a mask

    HiddencatBSN replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Living in a society means limiting personal freedom for the benefit of the larger group. If you want total freedom go live in the woods by yourself. Seriously, do you whine about drunk driving laws...

  2. Why haven't hospital systems in hard-hit areas reached out to state BONs to find out if there are former ICU or other high-demand specialty nurses?

    HiddencatBSN replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I’m impressed by the dedication of the crisis actors who are scripted to die. That’s some next level method

  3. Dr. Pimple Popper Thinks Nurses Have No Place Educating Patients

    HiddencatBSN replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in General Nursing

    I once moved our breakroom coffee maker to an empty patient room so it could use the red plugs during an unexpected and LONG power outage so we could all have coffee on our night shift, and the...

    HiddencatBSN replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Disaster Preparation

    They did in New York State. Everyone with an RN license got multiple surveys asking if we were available to be deployed in hard hit areas, and the governor also put calls out to health care...

  5. Complaints of Complaining

    Unionize or quit. That’s

  6. Taking Vacations

    HiddencatBSN replied to caal19's topic in General Nursing

    I’ve never worked anywhere that would accommodate 3 weeks off at a time for vacation regardless of how much time you had accrued. Different facilities have had different levels of how hard it is to...

  7. Radonda Vaught Fatal Error Case Timeline

    HiddencatBSN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! I tried to Google to find the CMS report but didn’t have any luck so I’ll chekc out your posts. And I agree, even based on the limited info I do have on the case this seems like so much...

  8. As a Nurse, is it normal to be pushed around doing different jobs at the place you work?

    HiddencatBSN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    The nurses that complain about floating to other duties or units still end up going anyway- they just develop reputations for being whiners and poor team players. There’s nothing dignified or...

  9. Help! Potential job opportunity and not sure what to do!

    HiddencatBSN replied to slove2718's topic in General Nursing

    Most places I’ve worked at hire people for CNA roles who don’t have any CNA training and provide it on the job. Being a CNA is hard work but it’s hard work you can learn as you go. And it’s...

  10. Radonda Vaught Fatal Error Case Timeline

    HiddencatBSN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    From what I’ve read, Vaught missed so many warnings that she was giving the wrong med (I mean really, vecuronium instead of versed? That right there, where the names are very different, should be...

    HiddencatBSN replied to justjRN's topic in General Nursing

    Was just going to say, I don’t remember the last time I haven’t eaten at the nurses station. We drop staffing at 3am regardless of whether our volume has dropped and there isn’t always float...

    HiddencatBSN replied to justjRN's topic in General Nursing

    The Public thinks that when their doctor tells them to go to the ER and that The Specialist will be waiting for them or tell the patient that “they called ahead” that they have a scheduled...

    HiddencatBSN replied to justjRN's topic in General Nursing

    I hate to break it to you but the ER nurse doesn’t have time to get the level of details on the patient that you want. That’s why they’re going to you, and why they need to get out of the ER

    HiddencatBSN replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Why do you think the government is neutral? Do you think the government always does the right thing? Heavily policing Black communities, red lining, higher penalties for poverty-associated crimes,...

    HiddencatBSN replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    It always cracks me up that the right uses social justice warrior as an insult/dismissal. Like, I get it’s uttered with oozing sarcasm but it still sounds pretty darn cool. I feel like the name...

    HiddencatBSN replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Oh my dear, we’ve been living in a crumbling empire for quite some time. Hard disagree on who the baddies are though. Maybe look a bit more critically at the colonial structure at play. Also,...

    HiddencatBSN replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    The deaths I’ve heard about are protesters* killed by police or alt-right terrorists. Last count I saw there have been 120 killings by police since George Floyd was murdered. EDITING to add:...

    100% this. What we are witnessing is a rebellion. I am hopeful that it becomes a

  20. allnurses has Become so Politicized

    HiddencatBSN replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    We've been told for years not to judge police based on the actions of a supposed few so if that's one's position I think it's fair to extend the same courtesy to the protesters. But also....riots are...

    HiddencatBSN replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Apparently you must pick one issue and one issue only to be told is not relevant to general nursing

    HiddencatBSN replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I’m sorry, I just don’t buy that anyone actually believes that when we say Black Lives Matter we mean only Black lives matter. Or that responding to the crisis facing Black people in America right...

    HiddencatBSN replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    You’re kinda explaining why here: you could leave and change your environment. Black people can’t stop being Black. That is one of the huge differences between your experience and the experience...

  24. allnurses has Become so Politicized

    HiddencatBSN replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Not to mention the scarily high percentage of police who abuse their intimate partners. Frankly, if you’re a good apple who stays silent when the supposed very infrequent bad apple is bad...

  25. allnurses has Become so Politicized

    HiddencatBSN replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    The difference between prejudice and racism is power. The power differential between the colonizer and the colonized is not equal and not comparable in terms of harm caused. Additionally, racism...
