  1. Elizabeth Warren says doctors, nurses don't treat black women same way as other women

    KonichiwaRN replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    Then by these so called claim... Japanese Americans, Korean Americans, Chinese Americans, and Indian Americans..who are no doubt "minorities," would also be receiving the short end of the stick when...

  2. I hate fake call outs.

    Oh my goodness emmjayy. That is torture. I'm referring to the "you know who group" that uses the mysterious sick days in front of a beautiful weekend. Again, I ranted enough and my feelings are...

    KonichiwaRN replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    And which of these studies can quantify the variable, "prejudice?" The burden of proof exists with Elizabeth Warren. She claimed prejudice. Now, quantify

    Prejudice. A subjective variable that cannot be quantified nor observed, being stated as the one singular thing that explains a outcome in the health industry. According to Elizabeth Warren. Nah, not...

    KonichiwaRN replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    “And there is a specific problem, as you rightly identified, for women of color who are three, four times more likely to die in childbirth,” Warren said. And here's the thing, even after we do the...

  6. Does anyone here actually like nursing?

    KonichiwaRN replied to Sumdaymurse's topic in General Nursing

    Believe it or not, I got bullied by a CNA once. Never takes vitals, never does anything..on the cell phone all the time. And this CNA was basically the jester for the director of that unit. Needless...

    KonichiwaRN replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    “That doctors and nurses don't hear African American women's medical issues the same way that they hear the same things from white women (Elizabeth Warren, 2019).” Notice. She didn't use the word...

  8. I hate fake call outs.

    KonichiwaRN replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nah, I have not "signed up" for this "on call." It was shoved on us. Also. I have a hard time understanding people that will know exactly when they will be sick and how they will get better, when the...

    They don't read the boy who cried wolf in schools

  10. I hate fake call outs.

    KonichiwaRN replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree sort of. Sigh, but I'll just remain quiet. As someone else pointed out, it's not wise to have a huge sign on my back by "rattling the system." But lessons learned though. ? I will never place...

  11. I hate fake call outs.

    KonichiwaRN replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    They "are" separate. In my hospital. And all the other hospitals in the area as well. Sick days accumulate in hours comparable to the PTO hours that accumulate. People use the PTOs accordingly,...

    Sick days and PTO are

  13. May your words come true.

    KonichiwaRN replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in Men in Nursing

    Thank you Davey. I'm just going to "let it go," and enjoy the extra hours. Actually thinking about going to the director for permission to pick up all the "extra shifts" certain nurses cause for the...

    KonichiwaRN replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    I'm originally from Massachusetts. I think her claim is as valid as her "claim"of a certain heritage she boasts of. The percentage (degree) of it, doesn't provide the whole picture. Will there be...

  15. Does anyone here actually like nursing?

    KonichiwaRN replied to Sumdaymurse's topic in General Nursing

    No matter what happens at the floors.. the drama, the lying or lazy coworkers, etc. at the end of the day, I am not a nurse for them but a nurse for the patients. I wanted to serve, and nursing is a...

  16. I hate fake call outs.

    KonichiwaRN replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    If people used "sick days" (if they are dedicated sick days) for actual sick days, and came into work as they are supposed to when they are feeling better (let's say, the very next day).. we wouldn't...

    I feel pity for her

  18. I hate fake call outs.

    KonichiwaRN replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would be much more understandable. I'm suspecting she is just enjoying a beautiful weekend of rest and relaxation. Life itself I think, is built on the sacrifices of others. It's just that some of...

  19. I hate fake call outs.

    KonichiwaRN replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh no. I know that there are real reasons. However with my personal experience, this was just getting outrageous with this particular "suspect" person. I suspect if she had 1/10th of the work ethics...

  20. I hate fake call outs.

    KonichiwaRN replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Forgot for a moment that weirdly, the "secure forces" seem to exist for the nurses who a) always calls out b) always arrives late (alright. not always. five out of ten times) c) always is...

    KonichiwaRN replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Agree. ? I feel much better after ranting about it

  22. I hate fake call outs.

    KonichiwaRN replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    But my mood is much better after ranting here on Allnurses. I specifically joined to rant about this (have been a lurker on this site for awhile). And you're right Klone. I take back "hoping" for the...

  23. I hate fake call outs.

    KonichiwaRN replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    They're specifically for sick days. I'm just ranting my emotions as you can

  24. I hate fake call outs.

    KonichiwaRN replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Didn't they use a "sick day?" Aren't sick days reserved for "sick days?" I mean, they could foresee their sickness from Friday, to last through Saturday and Sunday. Not each day at a

  25. I hate fake call outs.

    KonichiwaRN replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is the part where the "individual personality" plays a role. I'm for the, what you speak, must resemble the state and action. Otherwise, we do have an ethical dilemma. I see no wrong in hoping...
