  1. Is there a flu outbreak in your area?

    InfirmiereJolie replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Not in CA yet, hopefully never! Not many people ever go out of the state (just stay within it for touristy), so that's

  2. Petition to help new grads get experience

    InfirmiereJolie replied to Brian's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The nursing colleges in my area get 200 applicants each semester and only accept 40. Another has a 3 year waiting list. It's like this all around the country. You have to have a 4.0 to get in, great...

  3. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    InfirmiereJolie replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    All I can say is that the American Nursing Association supports it and a long list of authorities and

  4. Today's Dr. Phil shocker: Nursing home abuse

    InfirmiereJolie replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I *did* in-home care for a woman with Alzheimers. I've also *helped* people do in-home care for non-relatives. (The assumptions that I don't have first hand experience is WRONG, actually, without that...

    InfirmiereJolie replied to Joe V's topic in News, Announcements

    Time to do the Defillibrator New Year

  6. Today's Dr. Phil shocker: Nursing home abuse

    InfirmiereJolie replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Considering that a person is caring for another human being's welfare, $18,000 is not very much money, especially when it is a family member. I would pay $1,000,000 if I had that money even if it made...

  7. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    InfirmiereJolie replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If people think anyone who disagrees with the use of definitions, data, statistics, and scientific evidence is being "condescending" then I don't know how anyone could possibly have a logically-based...

  8. False accusations.

    InfirmiereJolie replied to Capp's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We like to joke that it's not "right to work" but the "right to get fired." Anyhow, the only negative is the 30 minutes for EMT/ambulance to arrive. It seems heinous that it would take 30 minutes for...

  9. Today's Dr. Phil shocker: Nursing home abuse

    InfirmiereJolie replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The video of this is here: http://drphil.com/shows/show/1949/# This is disturbing. There are many injuries and cuts (one going across the entire arm and deep), and an unbelievable amount of bruises...

  10. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    InfirmiereJolie replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Everyone, all these chop ups of my post is called Shotgun argumentation - the arguer offers such a large number of arguments for their position that the opponent can't possibly respond to all of...

  11. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    InfirmiereJolie replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Did you know that your state (WI) has gun regulation laws? Indeed, it receives a grade of C-. The D and F states I was referring are the prime examples of not enough laws for protecting their...

  12. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    InfirmiereJolie replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Msn10, how does being a cheesehead and liking the Packers have anything to do with gun control? This is a hasty generalization and a logical fallacy. It's called trying to falsely bandwagon, another...

  13. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    InfirmiereJolie replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I write posts with bolded emphasis and in quotes because if I wrote it any other way no one would read it. Who wants to read some large essay? No one pays attention to essays, they want to read bold...

  14. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    InfirmiereJolie replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I used to live in Arizona and it has an unbelievable gun-death problem. They also have some (if not the) most relaxed state gun laws in the country, receiving an F grade. There would be people...

  15. Implications of Obamacare... what's your opinion?

    InfirmiereJolie replied to Nurse_AV's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  16. How can I spiritually learn this...

    InfirmiereJolie replied to gloryfied's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Brilliant! God is good! When you need help or guidance, ask him to stand beside you. I remember hearing this story (not certain where it comes from) where there was a man who was walking on the beach...

  17. Implications of Obamacare... what's your opinion?

    InfirmiereJolie replied to Nurse_AV's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is interesting from the OECD study as well: Heath Insurance coverage for core set of services (Rank 4th lowest out of 34 countries) and Private Health Insurance coverage, by type (This doesn't...

  18. Implications of Obamacare... what's your opinion?

    InfirmiereJolie replied to Nurse_AV's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    They are because of their origins. Who started the term "Obamacare"? The TP. What was on their signs at the rallies? The word "Obamacare" and pictures of the president as a baboon, tribal pictures and...

  19. Implications of Obamacare... what's your opinion?

    InfirmiereJolie replied to Nurse_AV's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    WILL EVERYONE JUST STOP USING THE TERM "Obama Care." It was started and used by extreme racism at Tea Party rallies in 2009 (and still is being used). It has the same implications as "Hillary Care"...

  20. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    InfirmiereJolie replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Medical Error is a world-wide problem and has no relationship with gun control laws or the number of guns owned. "One reason for the observation that system-wide progress in patient safety is slow...

    InfirmiereJolie replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  22. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    InfirmiereJolie replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You just used Ad Hominem, Red Herring, and Poisoning the Well... However, as you can see above, homicides and suicides (over half, nearing 16,000) (which neither are classified as "self defense,"...

  24. I think I'm done with nursing.

    InfirmiereJolie replied to MBrickle's topic in General Nursing

    I know you love nursing, this is wonderful, but with herniated discs, I don't think nursing is the right career for you. I don't know if you have standing or sitting problems (i.e., have to rotate...
