    Conqueror+ replied to Guest07/13/15's topic in Immigration Advice

    I live in Florida and I work with MANY CNA's, housekeepers, dietary aides etc. that are hispanic and have over the years. It is fun to be AA and have everyone in the breakroom assume you don't speak...

  3. Strange Interview

    Conqueror+ replied to tattooednurse26's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Congrats. As I read about your interview I felt that she was giving you openings to jump in and sell yourself/convince her to hire you. I also felt that she was sharing her expectations of you should...

  4. Can I Refuse an Assignment?

    Conqueror+ replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    On graduation day my mom gave me one piece of advice "you can get another job, you can't get another license" It has served me well for 20+ years. Know that if anything happens the hospital will NOT...

    Conqueror+ replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    My husband and I have both been in the hospital and what you're describing has never become an issue. I see it becoming an issue when patients insist on a nurse addressing certain people in a way that...

  10. Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    Conqueror+ replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't say just fix their noses. I addressed a few ways than non blacks were able to integrate into mainstream white society and have better opportunities that were not afforded to blacks. but that...

  11. PRN- Should I feel bad?

    Conqueror+ replied to fifiandclea's topic in General Students

    Would they feel bad if they were well staffed and NEVER called you to work ? If you said anything about it their response would be "you are PRN so shifts are not guaranteed". That works both ways. So...

  12. Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    Conqueror+ replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Still don't see how that's racist. it's a historical fact. It was something done for survival just like practicing day and night to learn english with no accent. It meant a job vs. no job. The...

  13. Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    Conqueror+ replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    Conqueror+ replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    THIS. This is the thing that gets me. When some non Person of color deems to admit to the history of slavery they can't even be bothered to do it without throwing in non blacks as though the situation...

    Conqueror+ replied to LM2015's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't suggesting that LPN's aren't nurses I was one for 15 years. I was addressing the PP that stated she needed a Bachelor's degree to do CM/UR. You know, the post I quoted ? Moreover, the UR...

    Conqueror+ replied to katie92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  21. What kind of job can I get with an ADN but no license?

    Conqueror+ replied to LM2015's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure where the OP lives but we have many Case Managers and Utilization review jobs held by LPNs. Since it isn't direct patient care I would give it a shot and when/if licensure comes up stress...

    Conqueror+ replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So it's in her mind? Who knew we only had to click our heels and close our eyes to make it go away. When you have been discriminated against it isn't hard to think you may get discriminated
