    CNN: Abortion Performed on Wrong Woman

    Hoosier_RN replied to Alex_RN's topic in Nursing News

    Again, not sure what Korean standards are. I'd like to think that they'd ask, or that the patient would ask where she's being taken, but cultures are definitely

    Thoughts from a brand new dialysis nurse

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

    It varies by clinic, even in the same company and town. You would have to interview and hopefully shadow. Go for

    When patients film and post online!

    Hoosier_RN replied to RehabMelbourne's topic in Nurse Management

    Wanted to add, every facility's policy is different. I'd pursue that

    I would get supervisor involved to get that stopped ASAP, if

    MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    Hoosier_RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    You said that perhaps now I understand...so on. You had no clue what my race or any race of my family members was. Then you act as if I have no right to be offended, even though I find your tone to be...

    MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    Hoosier_RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Whether you intended to offend or not, your original comment was offensive. You don't get to choose to tell others how they are allowed to feel. And this @toomuchbaloneyis how many of others feel when...

    Dismantling the Police?

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

    As long as there is someone to help to maintain law and order, I'm all for it. Some make it sound like they want no replacement in their

    Nurses Refilling Prescriptions

    Hoosier_RN replied to Garden's topic in General Nursing

    My thought: what if their scale is wrong, or the like? I'm not sure I'd be up for that method. It leaves room for error, especially a new patient. Established patients probably get it. I'd be too...

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If you choose to be a member and TOS is part of it, then yes, its voluntary. No one is forced to join, thus agreeing to

    MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    Hoosier_RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Of course I was offended. You made the assumption that because I'm white, I couldn't possibly fear for my sons. Don't assume you know about others. By the same token, I truly believe all mothers worry...

    Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    Hoosier_RN replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    CNN, MSNBC, FOX, local channels. Pick one...any time I flip through, its there to the extent that I go to curiosity stream, or the like, and watch documentaries. The screaming and screeching of the...

    Black Lives Matter Protests and Medical Care

    Hoosier_RN replied to Chris___RN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if this falls under Good Samaritan laws or not, and those even vary by state. I'd be leery, you have potential for a lawsuit if one small thing goes wrong, as you are there...

    Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    Hoosier_RN replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's sad because the media sensationalizes and focuses on the negative. Many of us here know of, or at least have heard of, peaceful protest. Its hard to separate it out when you have the media...

    MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    Hoosier_RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I've had that appreciation for far longer than you will ever know. I grew up as one of the few white faces in an all black neighborhood. Luckily, most of the neighbors were friendly. Some weren't. My...

    Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    Hoosier_RN replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Oppressed people are not allowed to go where they wish, be it the hairdresser, church, or Dr. So it seems you have it backwards, by your own

    Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    Hoosier_RN replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Realistically, the disease is either deadly in largely populated gatherings, regardless of the reason, or it isn't. The government and the media can't have it both

    Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    Hoosier_RN replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    But still, if the virus is dangerous for one, it's dangerous for all causes. We don't get to pick and choose I took it as it was OK for one but not the other. Sorry if I

    Dismantling the Police?

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

    I worry because if there is no one to uphold the law, some people will run wild, without any fear of repurcussion. There will be no one for the victim to call. In the end, the wealthy will have...

    MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    Hoosier_RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    anyone who turns on a TV sees a diverse mix of all races and walks of life protesting, as well as the same type of mix rioting. Folks are being re-educated very quickly about the realities of...

    MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    Hoosier_RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    This was over 20 years ago. A little late now. And no, they didn't give a rats patoot. Nowadays, yes I would file a report and tell admin where to go. Back then, I was a young, single mom in the early...

    MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    Hoosier_RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    This horrid behavior doesn't happen with just former, or current,, police officers. Years ago, I had my tires slashed (and caught on hospital security camera) by a male coworker because I refused to...

    Could the police learn something from nurses?

    Hoosier_RN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    If they're standing around, it means that no crimes are being committed. Sometimes, police presence minimizes, or stops, crimes being from committed. Again, lumping all cops (which there is no way...

    Thoughts from a brand new dialysis nurse

    Sometimes yes, sometimes no. New nurses have to learn how to be nurses. Experienced nurses have assessment skills and intuition down pat. Newer nurses also tend to let the technology do assessments...
