  1. Women's Right to Choose

    Horseshoe replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    How does having sex only in wedlock prevent unwanted pregnancy???? It doesn't. Putting this on women is offensive, but given your posting history, not at all surprising. Patently FALSE. Men are...

  2. Has internet fueled anti-vaccine movement?

    Horseshoe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Wait, how can you not know how a video you recommended starts

  3. Vaccination for clinical

    Horseshoe replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    So apparently the answer to your original question: Was "no." Thanks for the follow

  4. Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    Horseshoe replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    This is actually something worth repeating, no matter how old/young/experienced you

  5. Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    Horseshoe replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, that cannot be true, as we just learned the following: See? You must be imagining your wife's

  6. Women's Right to Choose

    Horseshoe replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    This argument has been made since time eternal. It DOESN’T happen on any significant scale, never has. So why people keep putting it out there as some kind of serious suggestion is beyond

  7. Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    Horseshoe replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    In 23 years of nursing, I have experienced NONE of those things except for being sent home after 2 hours because of low census. By that time I was working PRN, becoming dissatisfied with hospital...

  8. Women's Right to Choose

    Horseshoe replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    One can believe that the Bible is a work of fiction and still be a great nurse. There is no requirement that one must believe in the Bible in order to have the ability to respect their patients’...

  9. Women's Right to Choose

    Horseshoe replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's disturbing to me how religion is being used as a rationale for passing laws that affect all of us, even though all of us do not practice the same religion or any religion at all. That is why the...

  10. Women's Right to Choose

    Horseshoe replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that is actually true. Often the same people who are pro life are also the same ones standing in the way of free or at least extremely easy to access birth control and sex education....

  11. Women's Right to Choose

    Horseshoe replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that is actually true. Often the same people who are pro life are also the same ones standing in the way of free or at least extremely easy to access birth control and sex education....

  12. The Base Tan Myth on "Don't Fry Day"

    Horseshoe replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I had a dollar for every time someone has told me they are working on a base tan before their upcoming beach

  13. The Future of Nursing Retention

    Horseshoe replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    That may be true, but it's not a vast conspiracy by multiple agencies to enrich schools. It's about corporate greed of the hiring

  14. The Future of Nursing Retention

    Horseshoe replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    It seems like all these staggered shifts would be a nightmare for scheduling. If they want to improve retention, they should address the main reason for high turnover: nurse to patient ratio. People...

  15. The Future of Nursing Retention

    Horseshoe replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, that's why I put encouraged in quotes, to reflect my sarcasm. Otherwise I would have just used the word encouraged without highlighting

  16. The Future of Nursing Retention

    Horseshoe replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with most of what you said, but your repeated refrain that nurses are "encouraged" to keep getting more education because of some kind of vast conspiracy involving anyone and everyone to...

  17. Elizabeth Warren says doctors, nurses don't treat black women same way as other women

    Horseshoe replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    I've read your posts in the political forum. You weren't going to vote for her anyway, were

  18. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    Horseshoe replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    It's corporate greed, not a move towards socialized medicine. That is the last thing the suits would

  19. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    Horseshoe replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    While I think that the "nursing shortage" is indeed mostly propaganda put out by hospital systems in order to cover for the fact that they deliberately understaff their units in order to save $$$,...

  20. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    Horseshoe replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    It's kind of ironic that you want respect for your college degrees, yet show a notable lack of respect for the degrees of others. Your degrees should be considered an asset. Others' degrees are simply...

  21. May is Neurofibromatosis Month

    Horseshoe replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    One of the most popular (and genuinely sweet) girls in my high school graduating class had this. I was told she had a large tumor that was cancerous, but due to its proximity to her heart, could not...

  22. BON and alleged verbal abuse via pt

    Horseshoe replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, when you put something between quotation marks, it means that it is a literal representation of what you said.

  23. BON and alleged verbal abuse via pt

    Horseshoe replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    I doubt you will find anyone here at AN who will argue that it is a reasonable expectation that only two people should attempt to lift a 400 lb. patient. That's really not the primary issue. The OP is...

  24. BON and alleged verbal abuse via pt

    Horseshoe replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    By the way, based on your own words-the way you speak to your colleagues, the language you use to describe the facility owner, etc., it seems fairly likely that you did indeed speak of this patient in...

  25. BON and alleged verbal abuse via pt

    Horseshoe replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    If this is how you speak to your colleagues, you will never make it as a nurse; for that matter, you won't be successful in any profession unless you can manage to go straight to CEO, have no clients...
