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

    If they don't want to support their employee's lives then they should fork over a lot more in taxes than what they are currently paying so that the Government can support them. After all the point of...

  9. Covid-19, No Beds, Ugly Stuff

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to Ado Annie's topic in Disaster Preparation

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

    The thing is, is that these companies CAN afford to pay a living wage they just don't WANT to pay one. They have to pour millions into the pockets of their executives and stakeholders. I realize that...

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to Stacy Winters's topic in General Nursing

    You're 1st post on this forum sounded as though you were offended by the OP because of what American Indians had been through. It is not uncommon for some white to get defensive and offended when...

  14. Chiropractors

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to Davey Do's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Health, Stress Management

  17. We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think one of the big things that needs to change is making students arrange their own clinical experiences. For one, with the amount of money these programs are making there's no reason they can't...

  18. COVID Vaccine: False sense of security or green light?

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to Schweet's topic in Disaster Preparation

    In my area the vaccine has a very long waiting list and they're administering every single one they've been allocated. I hate that people are having to wait but I'm glad so many people are willing to...

  19. New ADON Job Concerns

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to cmf2021's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, they completely snowed you. That is just too much for one position, no wonder the ADON walked off. And having you wait outside the building? What is up with that? Yeah, that place sounds like a...

    Recognizing and reflecting on the mistreatment and oppression of one minority does not minimize of downplay the struggles or persecution of other minorities. Why do white people feel so threatened by...

  21. I am under investigation by BON. Ethical question: Share or not share with potential employers?

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    An investigation that is still pending doesn't need to be revealed to an employher because it will inevitably cause bias against you. You are innocent until proven guilty even though the BON doesn't...

  22. Let the Healing Begin

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to amoLucia's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    What I've found so disturbing is how global the embrace to authoritarian leaders and fascist ideologies has been since the rise of Trump. That's what I fear, that his influence has awoken something we...

  23. Let the Healing Begin

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to amoLucia's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Alien very well can be dehumanizing, "different way of thinking" is pretty benign and with as passionate as this thread has been I doubt it was meant in such a way. Alien, freak, outsider, when you're...

  25. Let the Healing Begin

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to amoLucia's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I admit "sub-human" was the incorrect term, "inhuman" would have been better as he had said that Trump supporters seem "alien" to him. That is a dehumanizing statement and throughout history that type...
