    ThePrincessBride replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I thought you were taking your pot stirring self up out of here? I can't argue with someone who wants to deny facts or believes in fake news. I also can't talk with someone who wants to downplay...

    ThePrincessBride replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    No, you mentioned religion. I just responded. And who has died at these recent protests? Where are you getting your fake news from? Why do you care more about buildings and other inanimate objects...

    ThePrincessBride replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Anyway, I don't know why I even bother. It is clear that white nurses along with white America does not care about racial inequality and disparities black nurses and black America faces. They would...

    ThePrincessBride replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Don't be so obtuse. When people mention all lives matter in response to BLM, it is to diminish and dismiss the disproportional rate of violence black people face when it comes to the cops. Also, the...

    Please go! Your hateful, racist, anti-BLM gibberish certainly isn't welcome in a thread that wishes to speak against

    No offense, but you are proving my point. Your hostile, dismissive behavior is what black posters have to put up with on AN and quite frankly, it is tiring. And to add, very few revolutions/movements...

    Exactly. And people who complain about looting seem to forget one small little fact: windows and buildings can be replaced, but those innocent human lives taken by the police can't

    So in other words, you would rather be complacent than be a part of the change. Jesus certainly wouldn't want people to be silent in the face of

    Yikes. This kind of post exemplifies microaggressions many black people deal with on a regular

    ThePrincessBride replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    That is the thing: this board has never been respectful to ALL of its posters, and quite a few black nurses who used to post regularly left for that reason. Unlike my white counterparts, I don't get...

    ThePrincessBride replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I'd rather not say but believe me I and other black posters have been dismissed and accused of "playing the race card" when we have called out or spoken against racism, microaggressions and

    I am a black RN and let me tell you: AN has ALWAYS been polarizing and unwelcoming towards black RNs. I have been on this forum for many years and the level of intolerance and acceptance of bigotry...

    FNP jobs with RN schedule: 3-12 hours shifts

    ThePrincessBride replied to jensfbay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree that they shouldn't work as a sole provider in an UC. From what some of the NPs I know have told me, they are usually alone but help from multiple sources is just a quick phone call

    Not really. Retail clinics usually have very strict protocols and a narrow amount of conditions they can

    Hey OP, I too have no desire to work Monday through Friday. Corrections, Urgent Cares and even some school districts do a few days per week. CVS hires them like crazy and they are

    Grading Changed to Pass/Fail?

    ThePrincessBride replied to sdgirl1's topic in General Students

    Even graduate schools are going to a P/F system. My grad school is given us the option of choosing a letter grade or P/F. Because I am getting A's, I am choosing letter grades over "P" on my...

    PTO

    ThePrincessBride replied to snickers17's topic in General Nursing

    OP, that is pretty bad. I thought my previous job had terrible PTO, but at least we were given six paid holidays and a little over 3 weeks PTO.

    How to balance out working heavy hours and having a relationship?

    ThePrincessBride replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Was this due to the pandemic or has she always been like this? Work is overrated and I don't blame the boyfriend. As an ER nurse, she should be able to work only 3 12's and have plenty of time for her...

    Would you recommend a direct-entry Masters Program or Accelerated BSN?

    ThePrincessBride replied to Dhooy7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What about med school did you not like? I am confused. You do realize that NPs are more like MDs than they are bedside RNs....right? To answer your question, I never recommend direct entry. Get an...

    ThePrincessBride replied to Bjessica's topic in General Nursing

    Seven patients is ridiculously unsafe, and studies have shown that quality goes down and mortality rates go up once you add a fifth patient, let alone a seventh. Do not let this deter you from...

    Corrections NP: questions

    ThePrincessBride replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Correctional

    Hi Oceanbaby, Thank you for your reply. I do have another question: Is it better to be a psych NP or an family NP as a corrections NP? I am in the FNP track but am considering adding a post-master's...

    Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

    ThePrincessBride replied to gcupid's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree. The martyr complex is going to get some nurses killed. We are not martyrs. We are licensed professionals with an in-demand skill-set and we deserved to be compensated

    NP Dilemma

    ThePrincessBride replied to NPdilema's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    If you are truly only nine years from retirement, then no. I wouldn't. It would take a minimum of two years just to get a license and perhaps another several months to get a job. Then you are down to...
