    Meanwhile, those migrants who do get through and start working will be too intimidated to leave their abusive employers. I notice that there's no mention of enforcement aimed at those who hire the...

    The Trump Thread

    heron replied to Tweety's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    This is why it's important to avoid being distracted by the trump circus. We have a fatal tendency to demonize one person or group and assume our problem is solved by eliminating that one...

    Yes, please do. I saw those circular wards at Peter Bent Brigham on a tour with a nursing instructor who graduated from there. I remember being envious of them while sprinting up and down...

    Crusty Old Bats

    heron replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    I remember ... White polyester uniforms over pantyhose with a wobbly cap to top it off. Pantsuits were a scandal in 1972. Maalox and heat lamp for decubes. Ventilators the size of a...

    I'm with j22 - I think there's a case to be made on both sides of the equation. On the one hand, I want to see the evidence for myself, not as curated by media organizations who, incidentally,...

    I cut my aggressive gay minority teeth on the feminist self-help movement. It taught me that there is truth in personal experience, even when it doesn't conform to the pronouncements of conventional...

    heron replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    It's obvious that I can't speak for Klone. My own suspicions center on the current push for a theocracy. Radical right Christians have a long history of preaching the death penalty for homosexuality...
