    My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    klone replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    If the study you are referring to is the one I'm thinking of, you left out a very important part - that with loving support to explore their gender identity from the child's parents and other...

    How many chances do you give a job before you quit?

    klone replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    klone replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    You seem to have lost sight of my point, which was that typical homes do not cost $2,000/month in property tax. You also don't seem to grasp that a person who has poor time management and no...

    Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    klone replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    My point exactly. Property taxes are, for the most part, based on the tax assessed value of a home. A home’s property taxes are not going to be $24,000 unless the house is in the millions....

    klone replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    You are sorely mistaken. Annual property taxes of $24,000 is NOT typical unless you have a multi-million dollar house. I say this as someone who has owned a house in five different states,...

    I got a verbal warning for not greeting the new Director of Care?

    klone replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I think JKL is trying to say, it's okay to be professional and polite. "Not sugarcoating" is often a euphemism for going off on an unprofessional rant, which frankly does nothing positive, and makes...
