    Nurses Eat Their Young

    heron replied to Dairian's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Indeed, some of this rhetoric around bullying seems to be geared more to dictating others' behavior and forcing co-workers to be more therapeutic than is really called for in a work

    Climate Change Nursing?

    heron replied to algorhyme's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Actually, there's substantial reason to believe that climate change is affecting public health now: increased range and survival of various disease-carrying critters like deer ticks, the effects of...

    Homeless working the system, multiple admissions

    heron replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Psychiatric

    Why did you like my posts? I couldn't disagree with you more. Frankly, your posts put me in mind of the stories of Russian trolls tasked with fomenting anger and discord among the US electorate....

    LTC nurses...

    heron replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    QED - exactly why we challenged your characterization of LTC nurses in your OP (which, btw, demonstrated that you had no clue about why a nurse would be legitimately unable to provide the help you...

    LTC nurses...

    heron replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Many of us already do. Check out some of the threads here where nurses vent on the subject of lazy, entitled and officious CNAs. Do you believe that their experiences entitle them to make broad...

    "Green House" model

    heron replied to vampiregirl's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I wonder how such facilities deal with total care or behaviorally disturbed/severely demented

    LTC nurses...

    heron replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It's not the sharing or experience that's the issue. It's the claim that your experience somehow "proves" that all LTC RNs are lazy, incompetent and solely responsible for the poor care provided to...

    LTC nurses...

    heron replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Your profile page says you have six years of experience. How many different facilities? Even if you changed your facility every year, that's obviously not enough to find out how much you don't know....

    How to Identify and Respond to Bullying and Incivility

    heron replied to Damion Jenkins's topic in General Students

    OP, your last post is a prime example of the double standard in this whole bullying discussion: If I hurt your feelings or offend your sensibilities, I'm a bully. When you do the same to me, it's...

    How to Identify and Respond to Bullying and Incivility

    heron replied to Damion Jenkins's topic in General Students

    How's about you take a look at your own behavior, OP. From where I sit, it looks as though you are the bully here, attempting to silence disagreement by way of sarcasm so thick it comes across even in...

    heron replied to jess124's topic in General Nursing

    I usually quote the entire post and delete the parts that are irrelevant. Keep within the (quote) signs, including the parentheses. If you accidentally omit them, the quote loses the white field and...

    Support Planned Parenthood Today!

    heron replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Your proposal is wrong. All rights end somewhere. The rights of your fist end at the bridge of my nose. That is why the question of when a fetus becomes a separate person is central to the moral...

    Support Planned Parenthood Today!

    heron replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Good question. IOW, when does a fetus become a separate person. I would love to see the thinking of those who are ok with abortion up to the point of actual birth. Haven't heard that particular...

    Support Planned Parenthood Today!

    heron replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I believe that the guideline in Roe v. Wade is a rational one, in that it attempts to allow the procedure only until the point of significant extrauterine viability. Prior to that, I personally...

    Oh, please ... don't be disingenuous. You chose to join a thread started specifically to discuss support for Planned Parenthood. Since you agree with pmabraham, it's clear that you do not. You explain...

    All I know about your beliefs is what you've written here. In what I think was your first post here, you commiserated with a previous poster, telling him he was casting pearls before swine ... meaning...

    Pretending that the rest of the post you quoted doesn't exist doesn't change the fact that your disrespectful pronouncements on this thread violate your own god's instruction. Maybe you should look to...
