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

    We are criticizing commentary because it's not just-the-facts reporting? Really? It's like criticizing apples because they're not oranges. As for Russian collusion ... has anyone here read the...

    Not sure what you're asking. The "who" I'm referring to are the organizations required to adopt affirmative action policies who are now off the hook. I will be interested in seeing who continues to...

    What makes a good nursing supervisor?

    heron replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    I think the first place to look is the design of the documentation itself. Then it would be helpful to know how documentation fits in with their current workload. Do they chart in the nurses' station?...

    Snopes is accepting the early reports as true. I have also seen clips on which I clearly heard "we're here, we're queer-we're not going shopping." (The shopping chant is a protest against the...

    Hear, hear? After all, nothing's stopping them from making reparations on their own. Why not just continue to do what they've been doing since the beginning of affirmative action? If it's not...

    My late partner performed with her at the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival back in the 70s. (I pm'd you with her name in case you want to Google her.) Women's music was never very lucrative....

    Reparations is a complicated thing, not to be solved overnight. A good place to start might be for us white folks to stop telling everybody else to go back where they came from. It makes us look...

    If there was any actual evidence, it would be shouted from the rooftops. Instead, we have invisible audiotapes recorded by a dead guy and a tip that not even Bill Barr was able to take seriously. Not...

    Taking things too personally

    heron replied to Lostsoul123's topic in General Nursing

    OP, the kind of obsessive ruminating you describe is the dark side of a de-briefing process that all good nurses use to learn from experience. When it gets mixed up with underlying issues of anxiety,...
