    Hot Cheetos are a public health menace

    BostonFNP replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately here your observations are subject to your implicit bias: those with means want to assume that those without means are without means due to their own bad decisions. It it is as simple...

    Hot Cheetos are a public health menace

    BostonFNP replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I don't either. I guess some people feel like the poor is spending their tax money on things they don't approve of so they have the right to judge them. I wonder if the poor approves of spending $8 on...

    NP schools now required to find clinical sites?

    BostonFNP replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    But the issue of poor quality programs accepting any students that apply is not unique to inexperienced RNs, rather it is a problem with the overall notion that anyone can be an NP because they just...

    BostonFNP replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    What if the cancer is lung cancer in a patient that is a smoker. Is it ok then? Or an alcoholic that developed HCC? Is it ok then? What about the patient that had treatable cancer that chose to go the...

    Hot Cheetos are a public health menace

    I understand the need to vent and the overall concern about the state of healthcare in the country, but this post absolutely makes me sick. It is ignorant and judgmental. Because the family brought a...

    BostonFNP replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Can I please get a Parking Spot!

    BostonFNP replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Nursing

    NP schools now required to find clinical sites?

    BostonFNP replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Who cares if some students are angry? Students can either take the site 2 hours a way or drop out. It's not my (or the schools') problem if it is inconvenient for the student. EDIT: FWIW, the...

    Texas Children's investigates RN for social media HIPAA violation

    BostonFNP replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Posters say that anti-vaxxers are unscientific because they are: their position is based on a mix of opinion, conspiracy theory, hearsay, and anecdotes rather than scientific fact. It has zero to do...
