    frenchtoastwaffles posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I've been doing a little early research on graduate programs while I'm still in nursing school (a little more motivation keep my butt on the Dean's list:whistling:) and I'm very interested in...

    Nurses make more than median salary, so you should be grateful for what you earn?

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to pecantreechipmunk's topic in General Nursing

    This, and also I don't know how everyone else does it but we generally don't give really hard assignments to travel nurses because we don't know them. We don't know their skill set, we don't know...

    Nurses make more than median salary, so you should be grateful for what you earn?

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to pecantreechipmunk's topic in General Nursing

    There's actually truth to this. Hospitals benefit from paying these wild contracts for travel staff but do actually save themselves a buttload of money by not paying benefits towards them. It's...

    Does it feel to everyone else that many newer nurses glamourize the ER and ICU?

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Nursing

    The problem with floor nursing is that while ideally you have the opportunity to build rapport and teach, you oftentimes do not have time to do so in a meaningful or effective way. Yes, when things...

    Does it feel to everyone else that many newer nurses glamourize the ER and ICU?

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Nursing

    Why do we still wonder why new grads want to work in ICU or ED when floor nursing has a reputation for being understaffed and doesn’t peak the interest of many people? I knew when I was in school 5...

    Working smarter, not harder?

    frenchtoastwaffles posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey everyone, I recently changed jobs from subacute rehab to tele, and I'm having a bit of a hard time managing my time when there are so many different things going on. There are different goals of...

    Any nurses that love nursing and love their job??

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to nets5010's topic in General Nursing

    Love being a nurse, hate the bureaucratic bs that surrounds it. It’s hard to actually do what you love and what you trained for when non-nurses dictate how you work your shift. Too much time spent...

    Unsafe Environment for Graduate Nurse?

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to KMcRN19's topic in General Nursing

    I would be interviewing with other units if I were you. If a 14 bed ER only has 2 nurses on it, what happens on the days when it's that nurse with a 2 week orientation and you alone after your...

    Women's Right to Choose

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

    This is a straw man argument, you’ve stated in your post that you think her writings seem patronizing and that you think she had a dim vision of humanity, and this is opinion based. No one will...

    Thanks, I'm able to find it but from what I'm seeing Sanger only edited these proceedings? This was in 1927 prior to the Holocaust. It seems that this conference was mostly about world population and...

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

    I still have access to my school library but don't see anything linking Margaret Sanger with Eugen Fischer. I don't see anything for Proceedings of the World Population Conference 1927, my query...

    Women's Right to Choose

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

    My beliefs wouldn't be in laws, it would be a lack of beliefs in law to allow a pregnant person to choose what happens to their own body. Most will carry, some will not. You do not know my opinion on...

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

    I never said you were a bad person, and no one said anything about evil intent. You made a statement that your favorite family is a religious minority, and I attached a link to a story about how this...

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

    Find the quote that says it was "best to abort poor minorities and the disabled". My personal opinion on someone's decision to terminate a pregnancy has no bearing in this conversation, and I don't...

    If you read my whole post, you'd see that you can click the research directly from the NPR page. It seems you skipped over this. You mentioned independent sources, but failed to realize that Concerned...

    Okay, so the people like who, who are "pro-life" will crowd fund the expenses that this child will incur? The medical expenses that mom will have? Schooling? Food? Adequate housing? Will your crowd...

    This is why a ban on abortion will affect the lives of people of color at or below the poverty line more than anyone else. This is wildly exclusionary and makes care that people need inaccessible....

    Where on earth did you find this information? Are you looking up the right Sanger? Are you getting your facts from Ben Carson and Fox News? This article contains links to research that counters the...

    On this dated note, "In 2014, some 46% of all abortion patients had never married and were not cohabiting. However, nearly half were living with a male partner in the month they became pregnant,...

    1) no one should be guilted into staying pregnant because there are not enough babies to be adopted. There are plenty of children available for adoption, many of whom have been waiting for a loving...

    New Graduate, Only one interview, Should I Be Picky

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to Mrsvirgomama's topic in General Nursing

    I would follow up on the MPCU position. It doesn't look like you have an offer yet and if you want one then you have to express interest and make the ask. Follow up with the OB folks, if you don't...

    Women's Right to Choose

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

    Pro-choice means right to choose to have or not have an abortion. If you believe women can choose only different birth control methods, parenthood, or adoption; then your definition of pro-choice has...

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

    Someone referred to a Guttmacher study and left a lot of info out. Sure 45% of people who have had an abortion had more than one, but the other statistics are much more startling. How many abortions...
