    Killing them or helping them?

    NurseBlaq replied to Fayren's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    That's tantamount to patient abuse! If a hospice patient has morphine ordered, give it to them. If a patient is crying in pain because the hateful nurse refused to medicate them for her own personal...

    Essential Employee Letters

    NurseBlaq replied to Tait's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I was thinking along the lines of showing them your ID instead of the papers people were talking about. I would definitely lost the papers but not the badge. But I get it, some people may abuse the ID...

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    NurseBlaq replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm on the fence on this one. Most conspiracies are usually proven to be true. Having said that, there are some who just enjoy creating havoc and conflict and getting people riled up for their own...

    Essential Employee Letters

    NurseBlaq replied to Tait's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's a shame any of this is happening. Maybe employee ID badges with some form of color coded sticker system should be implemented. No matter whom your employer is, the color coded sticker on your ID...

    When a Covid 19 vaccine becomes available, will it be absolutely mandatory for healthcare staff?

    NurseBlaq replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Or maybe all the governmental health agencies, and especially the current regime, have already proven their incompetence and/or lack of following safety protocol. But hey, if the regime who thought...

    When a Covid 19 vaccine becomes available, will it be absolutely mandatory for healthcare staff?

    NurseBlaq replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I read in a few places that N95s were not being sold to the public and redirected to medical facilities

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

    You see that AFTER they were started by WHITE people. Also, they're not from those areas and many are even foreign, even the police and feds said that. So my point stands. The comment I replied to...

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

    Agreed. That's all the more reason to have a real discussion. We're medical professionals. If no one else, we need to hold these discussions because we take care of patients from all walks of life....

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

    They still exist. I see them and interact all the time. Informational threads too. None of them went away. Matter of fact, there are people I disagree with in threads like these and agree within other...

    Are you aware the BLM protests have been peaceful and riots/looting started by alt-right perpetrators pretending to be BLM affiliates to start a race war? Literally, all the violators on...

    Not to mention the BLM movement was started by LGBTQ men and women. Feminism and queerness intersects with Black issues they're not exclusive. Black people are in every part of society, there is no...

    Explain. Let me tell you from my viewpoint, and I'm not right or left, I vote my best interests and not along party or racial lines. That is part of the problem. Anytime someone Black has an issue,...

    Let me ask you an honest question. Had the girls in the bathroom not been Black and had the same reaction, would you have considered it a racist act or just them not wanting you to hear their...

    Thoughts from a brand new dialysis nurse

    NurseBlaq replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    What is your typical schedule? Is it physically demanding? I've always been afraid of dialysis because everyone said the hours are rough and they're ALWAYS super

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

    Not true. 99% of cops aren't good. There are studies and several examples of racist cops. They have infiltrated all levels of law enforcement and are known as ghost cops, or something like that. Also,...

    I literally just went through this in another thread and apparently I "attacked" someone because I was offended? My post expressing why I was offended and how/why the racist tone offended me was...

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

    Absolutely this! It's still like that in every thread regarding race in some form or fashion. And don't be offended, it's like you offended them because you're offended. I can't like this post

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

    I agree. However, in the case of not speaking because someone not in your circle coming in and being able to hear your conversation, no matter what race they are, is not racism. They would have more...

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

    NurseBlaq replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    No ma'am, you're doing way too much. You've lost sight of boundaries a long time ago. Leave that patient be. If you're concerned about family not doing anything, have social work check into it. The...

    Could the police learn something from nurses?

    NurseBlaq replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    So all the back and forth in this thread, y'all going to ignore the fact white supremacists infiltrated law enforcement nationwide? Yes, the bunch is rotten because not saying/doing anything to stop...

    Microbiology course online?

    NurseBlaq replied to Amethya's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, they're actually not. The micro class I took we used actual viruses, bacteria and did several procedures that would require an actual lab setting. Plus, being in a lab reinforces what you learn in...
