    What do you think about with current News and Opinions?

    Hoosier_RN replied to guest1163268's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Unfortunately, nowadays, it seems every news/media outlet has their own slant, depending on what they wish to promote, be it good or

    Hoosier_RN replied to guest1163268's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    If I believe everything I've heard from the media about Trump and his clan, then I have to believe the Biden stories from his own daughter, or the emails and voicemails ala Hunter and Joe. That's just...

    I could pull a lot of what about isms here, but won't. Serving in the military, I saw fascism/socialism in progress, and hope to never see it again. Our country may have issues, but we are currently...

    Hoosier_RN replied to guest1163268's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Then we're just going to have to agree to disagree. I think that there's so many crooks on both sides of the aisle at every level of govt. When someone says "oh no, the Dems would never do that" , to...

    TMB, I agree with you about Trump and loud liars, but we have to acknowledge that they exists on both sides of the aisle. To fix this mess that is called American politics will take the realization...

    Taking a Long Leave of Absence from Work

    Hoosier_RN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Go back and read all of the posts by SB over the last 2 years. Perhaps you'll see my point...many others on here have said the same exact thing over the course of time. If you allow people to...

    Hoosier_RN replied to guest1163268's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I feel like it's time for "new blood" in both parties, at all levels. Otherwise, it's going to continue to be the same ol' song and dance. Someone younger, with energy, may be able to do what's needed...

    New Grad RN Can’t Find Job

    Hoosier_RN replied to Stcloudmnnurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Oddly, now that covid has died down, many hospitals in my area have stopped hiring and crazy OT. They've went back to the basic short staffing. LTCs are staffed normally. Some areas are experiencing...

    I disagree. After multiple posts on here of allowing others to determine SB's path, a Boss is definitely not the title that I'd give. Sorry, not

    New Nurse, Thinking About Throwing in the Towel

    Hoosier_RN replied to SICURN19's topic in General Nursing

    Non-nursing. Not many jobs like hers in this area. She can't move as, like my hubby and I, she and her hubby are farmers. We can't just up and move at the drop of a dime. Believe me, we'd love

    Should Male Nurse Work In L&D?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Apotheosis's topic in General Nursing

    In the military, all of my nurses during the births of both of my sons were male, except the CNMs. Aftercare were males, even the lactation specialists who told me that it was my fault that I had no...

    I think that there's more going on than you realize or care to address. In this day and age where many areas are very desperate for nurses, it takes a lot to get fired. You're either missing something...

    New Nurse, Thinking About Throwing in the Towel

    Hoosier_RN replied to SICURN19's topic in General Nursing

    You may be onto something. I have 4 non-nursing friends, in the last 3-4 weeks, that have had job offers withdrawn. 3 had already departed their jobs, and can't find anything that meets their...

    Roe v. Wade abandoned by Supreme Court

    Hoosier_RN replied to Ado Annie's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I agree that he may feel that way, but it doesn't guarantee that it actually will be that way. Every day, I wake up and wonder 'what's it going to be next?' Strange times that we live

    I hope not. People should be able to marry who they love, not who society says they should. As far as the Bible, I'm canning that argument before it starts: if God has a problem with a person's...
