    Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    heron replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    When did AN become a nurse triage line? This is not a professional setting, it's a nurse-focused social media site. I'm personally sick of being scolded for not being "therapeutic" enough every day,...

    Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    heron replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    It seems that every new anti-vax poster insists that we must be "open-minded" about myths that have been disproven over and over ad nauseam. It's like being required to re-re-re-reconsider the theory...

    When Your LPNs & PCAs Take Over

    heron replied to nursingforlife24's topic in General Nursing

    New member whose first post is packed with offensive stereotypes? Most likely a bored internet addict trying to have some fun by getting the libtards riled up. Glad no-one bit. And behold, OP has...

    Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    heron replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    It's apparently a reference to the supposed "special priveleges" enjoyed by lgbt folk. That poster may "remember" those days, but not very accurately. I suspect he's referring to the legislation and...

    Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    heron replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    What both of the above posters ignore is that the data are presented in each and every one of the biannual vaccine threads that have popped up over the years. Every single discussion of vaccination...

    Support Planned Parenthood Today!

    heron replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Your first paragraph makes no sense at all. No one is claiming that abortion prevents cruelty to children. What we are pointing out is the hypocrisy of crusading for fetal rights and at the same time...

    I don't speak for the poster you're addressing. The point I try to make is the hypocrisy of leaving real, vulnerable children twisting in the wind while you get all self-congratulatory about...

    heron replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Ask those men. Better yet, ask Tim Murphy and Scott DesJarlais - both self-styled pro-life legislators who weren't so much when their mistresses got pregnant. Meanwhile, I don't get your point. Your...

    California Requires Gender Pronouns

    heron replied to DaveICURN's topic in Nursing News

    If we were talking about just a pronoun used mistakenly or because a worker is new to working with trans folk, I would probably agree that this law is a bridge too far. It's the people unwilling to...

    Don't be disingenuous. You used the old stereotype of the poor ... that they are poor enough for public assistance yet have enough money for acrylic nails and cell phones ... to justify the lack of...

    Not only that, but he clearly believes that children deserve to be punished for the sins of their parents. Frankly, the whole "welfare queen" excuse for cruelty to low income children was already old...

    California Requires Gender Pronouns

    heron replied to DaveICURN's topic in Nursing News

    Once again, you and the OP are welcome to have any opinion that makes sense to you. The issue arises when that opinion is forcibly imposed on another in his/her own home. IE room assignments in ltc...
