    Experiencing racism and xenophobia when coming to CA to help with Covid

    NurseBlaq replied to xwill327's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You can hide your sexuality, you can't hide your skin tone. Also, what about the people who are a POC and gay/transgender? They're both and more than likely experience double bigotry. I've also been...

    Experiencing racism and xenophobia when coming to CA to help with Covid

    NurseBlaq replied to xwill327's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    *sigh* For the umpteenth time, no one in this thread has validated in any form or fashion what was said to OP and all have said it was wrong and needs addressing. No one said OP or anyone in the LGBTQ...

    I am a male nursing student - What Did I Get Myself Into?!?!?

    NurseBlaq replied to nomadd917's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Add in clinicals and lab and you're in nursing school! You won't have a life so don't even think about making plans until you're done. As for you being male, I don't care either way. I've worked...

    Experiencing racism and xenophobia when coming to CA to help with Covid

    NurseBlaq replied to xwill327's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm speaking to the OP's attitude and situation in this thread. Why are you offensive and accusing people of saying/doing/having attitudes about things unsaid or not relayed in this thread? This isn't...

    End of life in primary care

    NurseBlaq replied to BSN2DNPFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    We had training on this in my ADN and BSN programs. Plus, I've had to have this conversation as an RN many times. But that's just my

    Too old for NP school?

    NurseBlaq replied to Guest1030824's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't think age is the issue, more so saturation in the job market depending on your location. People are having a hard time finding jobs because there aren't enough in saturated markets. Don't...

    Seeking AGNP program

    NurseBlaq replied to lindsieshae7's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    How long have you been in their program? Are there programs at local schools? Most colleges won't accept more than a certain number of credit hours so this is important. How are you doing in the...

    Experiencing racism and xenophobia when coming to CA to help with Covid

    NurseBlaq replied to xwill327's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't think anyone in this thread has not acknowledged those coworkers were wrong, OP has the right to his/her sexual preference, and those employees should have been fired because they also take...

    Too old for NP school?

    NurseBlaq replied to Guest1030824's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No such thing as too old! If you want to be an NP, go for it. You'll still be less than 50 when complete. There are new grads of all ages, 20s to 60s. If your desire is to be an FNP, let no one tell...

    Nursing fields: What has been your favorite?

    NurseBlaq replied to DyerRN's topic in General Nursing

    I never worked them but knew I didn't want to since undergrad. I hated those rotations with a passion because there were a few parents I wanted to choke out. I decided then if I wanted to keep my...

    President Trump was likely largest driver of COVID-19 misinformation “infodemic” per Cornell University study

    NurseBlaq replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Damn near 200k cases and over 1K deaths per day is slowly, but surely adding up. Will we have healthy people next Summer? I'm thinking we won't see a breakthrough until the end of next year or early...

    Nursing fields: What has been your favorite?

    NurseBlaq replied to DyerRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think I have a favorite but everyone is different and has different experiences. I say work in places/on units that interest you for a minimum of 1 yr before moving to the next to get your...

    Experiencing racism and xenophobia when coming to CA to help with Covid

    NurseBlaq replied to xwill327's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So do you want real answers or only those that you like? You can't ask questions and then bite the heads off of everyone who has a different opinion than your own. That will only shut down dialogue...

    NP student seeking a preceptor

    NurseBlaq replied to Excellence1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Does your program not help you find preceptors? This isn't the site for that. However, I would advise you to call around or ask upper-class individuals in your program for preceptor referrals. Ask...

    Trump has barricaded himself in the WH. Welcome to the Twilight Zone.

    President Trump was likely largest driver of COVID-19 misinformation “infodemic” per Cornell University study

    NurseBlaq replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Their speeches were done where people were in their cars. However, I do agree, it should have been virtual or they should have had TV specials. This is not the time to be out in the streets in mass...

    President Trump was likely largest driver of COVID-19 misinformation “infodemic” per Cornell University study

    NurseBlaq replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Wholeheartedly agree with this. However, I was upset to see people out in the streets cheering that Biden/Harris won as if we aren't in the middle of a deadly pandemic. I was pissed! I get it,...

    Trump’s assault on Postal Service and voting is a plot against American democracy

    Trump’s assault on Postal Service and voting is a plot against American democracy

    NurseBlaq replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I didn't read all of that. I said what I said and I meant it and you will deal! Stop trying to derail the thread acting like a 3rd grader throwing a tantrum. Trump lost. Now what? Will you throw a...

    Trump’s assault on Postal Service and voting is a plot against American democracy

    NurseBlaq replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    The post office is throwing the court's order to the side and disappearing ballots. I don't think military personnel overseas had their votes counted either. Looks like another election is about to be...
