    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    mtmkjr replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I think that is due to the frustration over the lack of self-reflection/assessment on Radonda's part and of the flocks around her who want to shift blame away from her and disregard appropriate...

    Anti Vaxxer I Knew Became A Nurse

    mtmkjr replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

    mtmkjr replied to Beerman's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    First - can't open that because Fox News now thinks it has to charge for its amazing content. Second - why would anyone expect Biden to know how to wear hard hat? I certainly don't and it doesn't...

    What should I do if I feel like I can never get a job outside of the SNF

    mtmkjr replied to dsaprog's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing shortages

    mtmkjr replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would say it's not the money, it's viewing nurses like factory workers with human beings on the assembly line, always looking for ways to increase efficiency and productivity. This makes nurses feel...

    Patient Abandonment

    mtmkjr replied to DanT103's topic in General Nursing

    There's nothing in the OP to indicate that was the reason for quitting. And as far as accepting responsibility, he was an orientee. While having some shared responsibility due to his license is...

    mtmkjr replied to Beerman's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    This is a problem. Yes many sources will have a degree of bias, but that doesn't mean you can't find good solid reporting and be well informed of the facts. There are really good sources out there....

    Reading my reply, I may have come across snarky and didn't intend it that way Practice good hand washing, keep your clothing and environment reasonably clean. Don't over think it. Unless you...

    The Collapsing Healthcare System in the US

    mtmkjr replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Wait what? Beans would be an excellent choice for protein, fiber and lots of good nutrients. Is it the "whole can" you're objecting to? They don't need to be eaten all at once. 1/2 cup of beans...

    Have you ever wanted to see a coworker fail?

    mtmkjr replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    There's no one I have wanted to fail, in fact it wouldn't hurt me a bit for them to be so wildly successful in another workplace that they would never come back. I have experience with someone...
