  1. allnurses has Become so Politicized

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

    Police officers choose their profession and they can choose to leave it, they could choose not to support “problematic cops”. The entire protest squad in Buffalo resigned from special duty after 2...

  2. allnurses has Become so Politicized

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

    I highly recommend Ijeoma Oluo’s “So You Want To Talk About Race.” She’s also a great follow on facebook and instagram. One thing that I’ve been seeing folks who want to challenge their...

  3. allnurses has Become so Politicized

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

    No. Black people being rude to white people isn’t a microaggression and isn’t racism. Kids not wanting to be your friend didn’t make it extra hard for you to get a mortgage, didn’t affect you...

  4. New RN, how to pick a specialty?

    HiddencatBSN replied to nikki1018's topic in General Nursing

    Start in the specialty you’re interested in if it’s an opportunity you have. Med surg is its own specialty and while you will learn a ton starting there, you’ll learn a ton wherever you start....

  5. allnurses has Become so Politicized

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

    But again, so often "respect" and "productive" means respectful and productive for those who aren't marginalized because the marginalized aren't making a fuss. YOU felt things were more collegial, but...

  6. allnurses has Become so Politicized

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

    There are many reasons to engage beyond changing the person you’re arguing with’s mind though. There’s the audience of people who ARE often listening/watching with a more open mind. There are...

  7. allnurses has Become so Politicized

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

    Often “peace” and “everyone getting along” means marginalized people are tolerating a ton of microaggressions or straight up injustice. And “the way things were” was comfortable and safe...

  8. Night shift new nurses-day shift classes

    HiddencatBSN replied to DrwngRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nearly everyone who works nights, I’d wager. I’ve never kept a night schedule on my days off: I have kids, there are appointments, errands to run, things to do, etc that happen during the day. It...

  9. Is 6 times a day too many to visit a favorite patient who isn’t on your caseload?

    HiddencatBSN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    This is a good update to read, and I’m glad that giving yourself some space has helped you feel less stress. I think apart from the boundary issues everyone has discussed at length, it sounds like...

  10. Facial coverings effective?

    HiddencatBSN replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Disaster Preparation

    But they’re not meant to “filter” anything; containing respiratory droplets is an important aspect. Surgical masks have never “filtered” anything and yet they are effective at droplet...

  11. Ethical Issues

    HiddencatBSN replied to RN2020scm's topic in General Nursing

    We DO know however that what Andrew Weiner was doing was

  12. Facial coverings effective?

    HiddencatBSN replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Apologies, my brain was still in general public

  13. Facial coverings effective?

    HiddencatBSN replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't think you can make that claim because our exposure and use is very, very different. The general public is not intubating anyone or administering nebulizer treatments or spending extended time...

  14. Facial coverings effective?

    HiddencatBSN replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Why would we "take out" part of the population with comorbids or in nursing homes in looking at risk? When we're concerned about a population that includes people in nursing homes and with...

  15. Facial coverings effective?

    HiddencatBSN replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Adding the links to the studies establishing asymptomatic transmission:...

  16. Facial coverings effective?

    HiddencatBSN replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Disaster Preparation

    How did you evaluate and choose those sources out of all the available research? The first link is a >5 year old study looking at healthcare workers specifically, not the general population. I...

  17. Facial coverings effective?

    HiddencatBSN replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yeah the thing is we’re at sources stage. Here’s a fresh one: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)31142-9/fulltext Preventing the asymptomic infected from spreading...

  18. WHO guidance: Healthy people should wear masks only when 'taking care of' coronavirus patients

    HiddencatBSN replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The also recommend against reusing single use masks, while the CDC has recommendations on extended use and limited reuse: https://www.CDC.gov/niosh/topics/hcwcontrols/recommendedguidanceextuse.html...

  19. WHO guidance: Healthy people should wear masks only when 'taking care of' coronavirus patients

    HiddencatBSN replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think of it more as bad versus worse honestly- not having enough masks for healthcare workers versus wearing a single surgical mask all shift and reusing an N95 over multiple shifts is a disaster...

  20. Role of Unions in keeping bad cops

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

    I don't think any field that has actively fought against the labor movement and the interests of the working class should get to unionize. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯...

  21. Facial coverings effective?

    HiddencatBSN replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Disaster Preparation

    10 pages of replies and guess how many times we've addressed that there actually IS evidence that they reduce the spread of illness in the general

  22. Riots in Minneapolis

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

    Oh WOW!, never mind, I didn't think you'd come right out and say it. I'm no longer curious either if you were intentionally dog whistling in highlighting rape in an otherwise general list of violent...

  23. Riots in Minneapolis

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

    I mean....there's a pretty clear causal link between poverty, lack of opportunity, poor education and crime. Not to mention the intentional introduction of crack into the inner city, Black community...

  24. Riots in Minneapolis

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

    School funding is based on property taxes and with white flight cities usually have a much lower tax base that suburbs, with high earners like private colleges tax exempt. School funding and...

  25. Riots in Minneapolis

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

    I mean, that’s one of the points of looting and vandalizing in a political context. No justice? Then we’ll feel some of this cost too. And saying that people not perpetuating injustice are paying...
