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

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

    Plenty of us realize this. We bring it up at times to the "white privilege" haters who think our lives are cream puff. They do not want to hear it. My ancestors were persecuted for their religion. Do...

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

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

    How could it ever be fair? Anyone who watched the video footage already saw the moments in question. But the camera doesn't lie. Justice may be blind, but today everything is on camera. An opinion is...

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

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

    I wasn't even going to comment. Tried not to follow this after an earlier attempt at rational discussion was blasted by a radical whom can only be described as a fanatic. But whether he did drugs or...

  4. Racism and Covid-19: The Unmasking of Two Pandemics

    Wishinonastar replied to Stacy Winters's topic in General Nursing

    I tried to bring up my own experience with ageism- trying hard to relate to those who feel the world is biased against them- and was pretty much told that nothing matters except the BLM racism issue....

  5. What is your minimum base pay on Covid-19 unit???

    Wishinonastar replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well let's just say a specialty that will hopefully put me in a different area of nursing. I am ready for a change. At least in nursing we can reinvent ourselves again and

  6. What is your minimum base pay on Covid-19 unit???

    Wishinonastar replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am currently going back to school. And I have had a couple of opportunities that were pretty juicy, but I am in a retirement plan right now that I have to stay in for a while. Catching up after some...

  7. What is your minimum base pay on Covid-19 unit???

    Wishinonastar replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I never went into nursing for money. It is just when you read these statistics about what nurses make all over the country, and you look at your own paycheck, you begin to feel worthless. Not worth a...

  8. What is your minimum base pay on Covid-19 unit???

    Wishinonastar replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think that is one of the saddest things ever. People do not understand how we grieve for animals who are our best truest friends. It is no different than grieving for a person. I had one kitty girl,...

  9. Is the worst of this over? My disciplined license

    Wishinonastar replied to The0Walrus's topic in Nurses Recovery

    And you would be right...I had two pages open.

  10. Is the worst of this over? My disciplined license

    Wishinonastar replied to The0Walrus's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It depends on what you did I think. Some municipal offenses might not be considered a crime. Others

    Sorry- wrong

  12. Had panic attack, past drug use, my Dr is reporting me to the board! What do I do?!?

    Wishinonastar replied to Maryslamb77's topic in Nurses Recovery

    DMQ48 if you are in finance, why are you on this allnurses site anyway? ALL NURSES. It is for nurses. It scares me that there are others on this site. Or, are you an ex-nurse? Kind of miss us? I...

  13. Nursing may not be for me.. help!

    Wishinonastar replied to Vmanzini's topic in General Students

    Nursing is many different things. You are seeing one side of it. But like school, you get out of it what you put into it. If you think school stinks, it is too hard, it is boring, then you won't do...

  14. FAILED the NCLEX 3x! HOW to pass?!

    Wishinonastar replied to CAgirl23's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    A lot of it is based on critical thinking. Memorization only gets you so far. Solid knowledge helps the critical thinking process. I took mine a long time ago but I never used any test prep- just my...

  15. Vanity Plates?

    Wishinonastar replied to mrcleanscrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Veterans- my husband has a hat from an aircraft carrier he was on. I think veterans sometimes like to show pride in what they feel is the most important thing they have ever been part of. He totally...

  16. Post-Baccalaureate Nursing

    Wishinonastar replied to sns2100's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You would have to research what is in your area. I would think you would have to start at the bottom in a program that can take you from RN to NP all in one continuous program of study, but you would...

  17. Post-Baccalaureate Nursing

    Wishinonastar replied to sns2100's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Now we are getting somewhere. If medicine is your passion- a PA program or NP program would get you to more of what you are interested in. Both can work in public health areas if that is your...

  18. Post-Baccalaureate Nursing

    Wishinonastar replied to sns2100's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not clear what your undergrad was? These are very different career paths. What are your goals? I wished I had gone with an MPH after my BSN but really there has been only one true public health...

  19. Killing them or helping them?

    Wishinonastar replied to Fayren's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think you would be great as a hospice nurse. In hospice, they often give meds that are shocking to inpatient or LTC nurses. You have to remember, people build a tolerance to narcotics. That bit of...

  20. Is 6 times a day too many to visit a favorite patient who isn’t on your caseload?

    Wishinonastar replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    We all have patients we connect with and grow close to. It is a natural part of the human experience. I have had some patients that I hated to say goodbye to, but I was glad that they no longer needed...

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

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

    I want to hear personal experiences because generalizations just does not help. It is not socially acceptable to call anyone names. I have never heard anyone call a black a derogatory term. I am not...

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

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

    Institutions do not in and of themselves do anything. It is the people that make up the institutions. The hiring manager who is biased and is allowed to be because of apathy on the part of...

    Society is made up of individuals. There really is no difference. You must change individuals to change society. Peaceful protest to state your concerns is one thing, Working on changing policy-...

    What you say makes perfect sense. And you said it well, without stooping to insults. I appreciate that. I would like to hear about the personal experiences of those who have experienced perceived...
