  1. Will Covid cause huge transfer of wealth out of hands of middle class?

    HiddencatBSN replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Eh, not sure I agree with that. I don’t think someone’s vote should count more because they live in a less populous state. Adding in the imbalance of senator representation to state population,...

    The Electoral College increased the slave—holding states’ weight in the election significantly because the roughly equal-population north and south had different suffrage rates because about a...

  3. How to deal with hate as a Nurse since we are getting special treatment during this time?

    HiddencatBSN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We ARE lucky to have jobs. I think you should consider the labor that went in to every “non-essential” item you have in your life that you enjoy today and imagine what you would do instead if...

    HiddencatBSN replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Because the founding fathers didn’t want regular people to have too much say in the government. It’s a process that is not beyond

  5. Will Covid cause huge transfer of wealth out of hands of middle class?

    HiddencatBSN replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think opening up the economy is just going to hurt workers more in a different way. The thing that is frustrating to me is that we have the resources to have made the stay at home orders...

  6. Best positions for nurse with anxiety/ ADHD

    HiddencatBSN replied to nursewellman's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    ADHD meds show up on a drug screen- I got a call and just had to give them my RX number and pharmacy for them to verify that I have an active RX for them. The testing company handled this, my employer...

  8. Suspension of clinicals d/t COVID-19

    HiddencatBSN replied to Lumina88's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    My school’s clinicals have been suspended....and they are asking us to teach virtual simulation and case studies to replace the clinical. I think this is a huge disservice and am thinking of bowing...

  9. New Clinical Instructor Getting Organized

    HiddencatBSN posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I’m really excited to be teaching my first clinical this fall in my specialty. I love precepting and having students with me, being a CI has been a goal of mine for a while, and this opportunity...

  10. How to commit to proper diet and exercise as a night shift RN?

    HiddencatBSN replied to ChooSoul's topic in General Nursing

    I try to do intermittent fasting on nights I work. Water, tea/coffee, dinner before I come in and breakfast in the morning. Aside from the benefits of intermittent fasting I think not eating at a time...

  11. Effect of 12 Hour Shifts on Patient Care and the Nurse: A Need for Change.

    HiddencatBSN replied to LindaGracie's topic in General Nursing

    The jobs with a shorter commute paid significantly less than the ones I commuted for, and we’d just bought a home and had small kids who were established with school and services in the community....

  12. To Vaccinate Or Not To Vaccinate, That Is The Question

    HiddencatBSN replied to Joe V's topic in Disaster Preparation

    A single case study against how many millions of vaccinations compared to how many people died that year from H1N1.....and the exceedingly rare reaction is the bigger risk to

  13. To Vaccinate Or Not To Vaccinate, That Is The Question

    HiddencatBSN replied to Joe V's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I’ve been getting my flu shot since before I became a nurse and having the flu shot clinics at work makes it easier for me to get them every year. I’ve never had the flu and the only time I’ve...

  14. RN in Medical School -Should I keep this to myself?

    HiddencatBSN replied to RNthenDoc's topic in General Nursing

    Every MD I’ve ever worked with who was a nurse first has been amazing. I think about how frustrating it can be to manage interns in those first months and how much easier that would be with ones who...

  15. Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    HiddencatBSN replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    That’s fair, and I mentioned that in my first reply here. I wanted to address the notion that considering the cost of education is holding back individuals and the profession as a whole. Financial...

  17. Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    HiddencatBSN replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    There’s a national student loan debt crisis right now. And while nursing employment outlook is very different than other fields, weighing the cost of education against the benefits is absolutely...

  18. Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    HiddencatBSN replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    In general I wouldn’t recommend it unless financial aid (grants and scholarships, not loans) makes it comparable to a public school. I think there are some situations where it might make sense (many...

    HiddencatBSN replied to dmstanl1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    “Females”?! Goodness that’s phrasing with a lot of sexism behind

  20. What city do you work in and how much do you get paid hourly?

    HiddencatBSN replied to Mortaaaay's topic in General Nursing

    I worked at a hospital once where the night shift diff was $0.50 an hour. Their pay rate was in general very low for the area. The only way they could keep night shift staffed like that was to only...

  21. Union-yes or no

    HiddencatBSN replied to RNBSN08's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Yes, you have, but you’ve never worked as a nurse so you don’t know what the conditions we face look like. That’s not condescension- that’s pointing out that you speak from position lacking in...

  22. Secondary PTSD spread the word PLEASE!!!

    HiddencatBSN replied to Messedup101's topic in General Nursing

    My husband was a paramedic for 12 years and recently left the field because of PTSD. It’s a very real risk and being told by management and industry experts to avoid it by doing more “self care”...

    HiddencatBSN replied to RNBSN08's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Actually, multiple posters have pointed out that your lack of nursing experience means you are speaking from a place of ignorance when you claim that individual nurses are able to successfully...
