    Patients and the race card

    metal_m0nk replied to CanadaEh's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I hope you understand that your comments do not speak for me, as a member of her race. If you want to reprimand someone for self expression (of personal pain it appears - which does no disservice to...

    Patients and the race card

    Assumptions can be dangerous and debilitating when a person in a position of authority holds them. Sometimes they affect your livelihood. Sometimes they affect your life. You are fortunate indeed....

    Patients and the race card

    metal_m0nk replied to CanadaEh's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You see what you want to see and funnily (read: ironically) enough, you assume that's the way it must be. You have been fortunate then, to have never had the prejudices and assumptions of others...

    If I get what Korky is saying, then there's no contradiction. Someone who acts out of guilt over the thoughts and actions of their ancestors is disingenuous. People want to recognized and treated well...

    "Nurses don't make judgments"...do they?

    metal_m0nk replied to Darjeeling22's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing school is full of information that is designed to encourage you to think about patient care/nursing actions in a particular way but that is not intended to be taken

    Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    metal_m0nk replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I get what you're saying. If I could interject though, not all schools are equal and there are plenty of nursing students who are facing much steeper challenges in funding their education than you...

    Flu shot issue

    They highlight the connections between the CDC and the FDA that the post you were responding to drew - the connections you vehemently demanded proof of from a reputable source. The websites also...

    The End of Men

    metal_m0nk replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    Multiple truths....Some might argue that with regard to women, the assumption was reactionary - especially considering the fact that the notion that men are unfit for female dominated professions is a...

    The End of Men

    metal_m0nk replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    I hardly think that in general, men face fierce cultural opposition from women (their mothers included) when they decide to become nurses. With women, more so than with men, there is a greater...

    The End of Men

    metal_m0nk replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    There it is. All the talk about feminism and affirmative action is smoke and mirrors. This probably more accurately reflects what's at the heart of why most men decide whether or not to enter into a...

    The End of Men

    metal_m0nk replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    *Chuckle* You're tragic, dude. No offense, but if your ego pushes you so far as to claim a monopoly on truth, some self examination is probably in order. You're missing the point and proving it all at...

    The End of Men

    metal_m0nk replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    *Shrug* Life before affirmative action for women is still pretty fresh in cultural memory. You aren't likely to win many allies by obfuscating the struggles women faced and still face. But hey,...

    I WILL read your response in its entirety when I have the time to devote to it, but I wanted to respond to just this sentence for now, for clarification... It isn't (in my estimation) that all men at...

    The End of Men

    metal_m0nk replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    It is certainly true that the barriers men face today are unlike the barriers that women faced in the past. Women's lib was in response to the cultural-societal position women were relegated to by men...

    Why is Nursing School So Flawed?

    metal_m0nk replied to TCASII's topic in General Students

    OP, I think regarding the majority of your concerns, you are dealing with instructors who neither write their own tests nor select exam questions that they coincide with the points they stress. They...

    metal_m0nk replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, the intent was only to say that yes, I do agree that perceptions of masculinity are changing. Yet, they are no where near changed on a universal level and it is going to take some effort (perhaps...

    The End of Men

    There may come a time when subversive action without directly addressing our society's concept of masculinity will prove unsuccessful at meeting its ends. Grandfathering men into largely female...
