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 Columbia's post BSN DNP AG-ACNP program, but the website s...

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 their experience, we don't know if they can safely man...

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 profitable for them to hire temporary staff that hits th...

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 are moving smoothly these are the most rewarding exp...

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 years ago that I didn’t want to do floor nursing but...

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 care in rehab than in the hospital, and my previous...

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 behind a computer.

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 orientation is cut short? This is setting you up for fail...

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 argue about how sh***y Eugen Fischer was. The conference...

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 it's trajectory and the issues that affect global ...

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 matches no results. I also am not able to find anything...

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 abortion, and it will remain that way.

I'm asking again- please cite this, quote it, where did she speak and who spoke at her event?

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 defense is seen as problematic in today's society....

This sounds familiar https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/16/sunday-review/ralph-northam-blackface-friends.html

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 know what anyone else's motives are to terminate. I...

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 Women for America is a socially conservative move...

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 fund get the time back that mom had to take off from...

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. Abortion is healthcare, and healthcare should be fund...

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 accusations you're making. https://www.npr.org/sect...

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, including 14% who were married and 31% who were cohabi...

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 home for years. 2) that is your opinion 3) congratu...

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 hear back, then don't let another great opportunity s...

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 about as much relevance to the abortion issue as b...

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 are had by women at or below the poverty line? how...
