    GrumpyRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Sorry Tweety, but at no point did I say or imply that your troops are incompetent. I did say that they are not seen as professional as other troops because for one thing they "don't play nicely with...

    GrumpyRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Nope, me too. This seems to be a very American thing. Around the world the military are not held in such high esteem - really would not expect anyone to say "Thanks for your service."...

    Yeah, that's not how it works, you're the one missing the point. Multiple studies being done and evidence shows that wearing a mask prevents (or at least reduces the risk of) YOU from spreading the...

    GrumpyRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I saw this on a (medical) facebook page I follow, (yes, yes I know...) but I had honestly not thought of it until then - would not surprise me and would get Trump a lot of sympathy. The comments were...

    In theory, do nurses know enough medical knowledge to give advice?
