    ThePrincessBride replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Honestly, to the people who think white privilege doesn't exist, google. Read a history book. I find it mind boggling that people here are so angry over the term and refuse to believe that people of...

    As I mentioned earlier, privilege doesn't just come in the form of race. In America, privilege comes in the form of white, straight, male, Christian, well-off SES status. I am sorry that you have...

    ThePrincessBride replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    No, it isn't "racist." If you read my last post, you would see that I talked about having heterosexual privilege. Does recognizing heterosexual privilege mean that I am being heterophobic? Nope. It is...

    People really need to stop coming into nursing

    ThePrincessBride replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    Ha! I worked at a hospital that only gave an extra 85 cents more on the weekends. Screw that mess! The nurses at my facility don't know how good they have it. $5 for nights, $5 for weekends, 2.5x for...

    I have also been followed around and harassed in stores. One time was so bad I turned to the woman and stated that "not all black people steal" and called the manager. This was in a store where my...

    It is not that you are "too white" to understand, it is that you are too ignorant and close-minded to care to understand. I am not sure what you are getting out of this, but I find it pathetic that...

    I don't have to explain anything to you, nor should I have to "prove" anything to someone who blatantly disregards people of color and racial inequality so callously. Sorry, but that would be a waste...

    What makes you think that the black experience only refers to one kind of experience? And thought you were done with the "pity party"...you are still here. Why do you care so much to invalidate or...

    Where have all white people been condemned? Saying that white privilege exists doesn't condemn a group. I appreciate the white people who recognize racial inequality and don't minimize or dismiss the...

    And anyone who ignores and dismisses racial inequality and pretends white privilege doesn't exist and that all black people are just a bunch of whiners who play victim is

    Per TOS personal attacks are not permitted. Just letting you know. There is a difference between being opinionated and having an attitude. In fact, all of my coworkers were shocked when they found...

    Yes! The only black students I know to receive full-rides/lots of scholarships were from really poor families, usually first generation who were GREAT students in high school. As for myself? I worked...

    Slow your roll. If you read my previous thread, you would realize that it was MY dream job and of course I was disappointed (as just about anyone would, duh). I have only gone on one interview since...

    Yeah. I really shouldn't get worked up over some ignorant stranger, but I can't stand the audacity and arrogance. JWG223, look at the thread. Pretty much NO ONE is agreeing with your posts....

    Just stop. You are making yourself look foolish, spouting off this racist nonsense. I am black and from the middle class. I have NEVER received anything for my race, and how dare you try to tell me...

    NCLEX- how many attempts is too many?

    ThePrincessBride replied to dinah77's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This really isn't as big of an issue as some people make it out to be. About 85% of people pass the NCLEX on their first try and about 50% pass on their second attempt. So that leaves about 7.5% who...

    No offense, but people with your mentality are part of the problem, not the solution. I suggest that you educate yourself; minorities have not benefited from affirmative action as much as their white...

    I'm not arguing that doesn't exist, but white privilege is real, especially in a white woman's profession that is nursing. Being black is a whammy. I have a BSN, PCA experience, great grades and...

    ThePrincessBride replied to Godsfavorforeve's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree. I took Hurst, used Kaplan and ATI for questions and did another NCLEX review course. I passed the first time with 75 questions. Employers aren't going to care whether one passes the first...
