I am not the enemy. I understand the feelings of these people who feel the world is unfair. I am going to leave it at that, I will not negate their feelings- they are theirs and they have a right to have them. But again, I did nothing wrong. I treat ...

I left and went to school nursing for other reasons but I have to say it has been a mostly miserable experience. I am treated quite badly and not seen as valuable- unless the blood is flowing. I love the kids and that is the only thing that keeps me ...

I have always given notice even when it was painful to do. The things they ask a previous employer are how you quit- was it voluntary? How long you worked there? And would they rehire you? Some places will not give much information but we are as some...

I love nursing. I do not love all workplaces. The actual art and science of nursing, the patients, the things I do, that I love. The workplace is what makes you love or hate work. The patients have never been my problem, though like everyone I have h...

This is only assuming that the white person in question has some sort of authority or is in a position to create harm for the blk person. If a blk person falsely claims that a white person did something to them the same harm could happen. You are mak...

I remember my good friend from nursing school went to LTC after school and she said she was able to really listen to heart sounds and do all those things that we learned in school but never had time for in the hospital. She said she learned to use he...

It explains it very well and presents bigger ideas- which helps explain why we have a failure to communicate here. Perhaps we see things in different ways. My view is one of personal action and personal responsibility. I have done nothing wrong, and ...

NurseBlaq- Read the ebook section through the link. It is fascinating. And if you refuse to hear from us (or just me) because you have blinders on (and are innately prejudiced towards me), then perhaps the points in this book will give you insight in...

I think it is pretty obvious who has the problems here. I am not going to discuss it anymore. I never said anything racist, neither did you. Truth hurts sometimes and people cannot accept that truth. As I have said I really could care less about the ...

I really like the way you worded this. It took me a long time to accept that I cannot always like the things I SHOULD like and I cannot always be good at what I SHOULD be good at. We have what is in our hearts and we have the expectation of ourselves...

I think the majority of violent and critical situations are probably drug related. They must have been expecting a big dealer or something. I do not think they would raid without the expectation of a big bust. The whole thing is unimaginable and scar...

Apologies. There may be blind persons on this site. I based my comment on the photo. Hence- are you blind. Did you not see the photo would have been more appropriate. Insensitive, I flagellate myself.

They should never be allowed to raid without announcing who they are. Perhaps none of that would have happened if the knew it was the police.

I know enough about the rest of the world. I have studied enough. In both grad school programs that I have attended there was great emphasis on global understanding and learning about other cultures. I get it. Everyone has their own way. Sometimes we...

You know that is uncalled for. You do not know me. I would have shot her because she was about to murder an unarmed person who was terrified and needed help. I could care less about the color of her skin. It was her actions. You need help with this p...

That sounds pretty good!! I had a weekend home health job when my son was young. Two 12 hour shifts and I could work extra if I wanted- holidays and things to get that time and a half. If you do not need weekends off it can be pretty sweet. I hear yo...

We are a sad bunch. But your post rings true. I think the key is to find the area you can cope with. I loved some things in the hospital as a student and an aide but as a nurse I wanted oncology and I could not get transferred there. Ortho was a horr...

I was so happy in hospital-based home care. It was a very demanding job though, with a lot of overtime. Home health did take up my life. I miss it so much. I tried a for-profit and it was awful, though maybe not for the staff. I was in a management p...

Truthfully NZ is a different society and I am not interested in what happens there. This is the world that I know. And I believe that most US police support the right to bear arms. It is the foundation of our nation. This is my world. If I wanted to ...

Are you blind? If I was a cop and saw this move with a knife I would have shot her too. She is about to plunge the knife- a huge knife by the way-into another human being. She is doing it knowing she is in front of a cop. She is daring him by her act...

But again, police are no fools. They know - here comes that 80% again- that 80% of gun owners are law-abiding citizens who keep them for self protection against the same bad guys that the cops have to worry about. Or, perhaps they are hunters. Perhap...

OK- part I. Yes, I have seen enough and studied enough and lived enough to believe that 20% of anything causes 80% of the problems. Conversely, 80% of anything, including people, cause little to no problems. It is a normal curve of sorts, a continuu...

But you cannot answer? Do you think that this is why a poster might use blk? Out of discomfort? It is not a disclaimer it is a possible explanation because I am curious too. But whatever. Ooze your hostility and insults at me if it makes you feel bet...

Let me ask you something. When I was young- some time ago- we were told not to use the word black when describing people. It still makes me uncomfortable because of that. Now the word Negro means black in Spanish. But it is also a no-no. Afro- Americ...
