  1. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    macawake replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t know if it’s right or wrong or if that is even the relevant measurement for evaluating a response in threads like this one. I think that at the end of the day all you can and should do...

  2. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    macawake replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You haven’t provided a link to the survey you’re referencing but I’ll take the numbers at face value. Isn’t it true that many black people for understandable reasons have a distrust...

  3. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    macawake replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Well, of course. That applies in both scenarios, whether he is Ms Bells or whether he simply pretended to be Ms Bells. This comment isn’t about Davey or OP, but writing styles in...

  4. "Thank you for your service"

    macawake replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely ?? I do appreciate when people express that what I’ve done has made a positive difference in their lives and I will definitely thank someone when they do something positive for me or for...

  5. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    macawake replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    ? Yeah I know, ya poor thing. Mikey really botched up the covfefe on that one. Yes I agree, it is all quite strange. (And yes, some of my own posts are included in that

  6. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    macawake replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, the self-proclaimed woman ? Naw, I suspect the profile pic was mostly used to attempt to trigger ”lefties” as they were reading his posts while cowering under their couches... Or perhaps he...

  7. "Thank you for your service"

    macawake replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I know you were asking Grumpy, but I’ll answer for my part of Europe although I suspect that the reply might apply for the rest of Europe as well. It’s the ”for your service” part. If you get...

  8. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    macawake replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Assuming the latest twist in this continuing drama is true, all I can say is that I’m not very surprised. You have been very defensive of and kind of been fawning excessively over SilverBells,...

  9. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    macawake replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, you kind of blew it there ? I must say Donergent, your language here on AN is much more evolved and your persona much more

  10. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    macawake replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I’ve quoted the posts that show the context in which the phrase psychological peculiarities was used. As you can probably see they were in response to you implying that I have a Messiah complex. I...

  11. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    macawake replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Your point being? It may well be based in fact but in order to prove that I or any other poster, would have to get very personal and identify and name certain traits displayed that indicate a certain...

  12. "Thank you for your service"

    macawake replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I’m Swedish-Norwegian. I have lived in more than a dozen countries, about half of them as a child and the other half as an adult. So yes, I picked up most of the languages along the way. While I do...

  13. "Thank you for your service"

    macawake replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    No, it doesn’t. I’m Scandinavian and it might be a cultural thing. No one says thank you for your service to a member of the military either and I think we would think it was a somewhat odd thing...

  14. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    macawake replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I’m glad, because I do like and appreciate your posts here

  15. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    macawake replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    ? I’m sure there might be a component of that involved... But it’s mostly the consequence of having experienced ad nauseam, people being hurt or used by other people with certain...

  16. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    macawake replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Are you trying to pick a fight Emergent ? After more then a decade of dealing with criminals and the mind games many of them play, I have a pretty well-developed radar when it comes to people...

  17. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    macawake replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I’ve noticed. And called it out. It’s an effective way to frustrate people. For a moment they think that they might be getting through to the person, only to find out that they aren’t....

  18. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    macawake replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Don’t you think that’s what empaths or any medical professional really, will likely do if they fear that a person might be actively harming themselves? I think it’s to be expected that many...

  19. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    macawake replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. You are correct, this is a strange topic. Your posts are worded in a way that are likely to elicit a strong emotional response in people who are empathetic. This is a forum for nurses...

  20. My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    macawake replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    And you were wondering why I find this thread strange? This is a prime example of a very odd comment. I think generally on a forum where relative strangers interact, it’s safe to assume that...

  21. Is it wise to work from home?

    macawake replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, I know you’re not unintelligent. The content of this thread is a pattern with you. Why are you attempting to log in from home and reporting back to us that you are having...

  22. Is it wise to work from home?

    macawake replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Sure. You could set up a weekly delivery of one pallet of a cola beverage of your choice and one pallet of Peanut Butter Cups and have at it. Make sure to work at least 20 hour days and limit your...

  23. Does the shot mess with your DNA?

    macawake replied to Floor_Nurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree, it is absolutely ridiculous. Not only would there have to be a large number of hospital wide conspiracies, but worldwide conspiracies. I wonder what the people who believe this think the...

  24. Does the shot mess with your DNA?

    macawake replied to Floor_Nurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is a nursing board and we've discussed risk factors associated with a serious outcome several times. I have no idea why you think no one is talking about it. But you know what, it is possible to...

  25. Does the shot mess with your DNA?

    macawake replied to Floor_Nurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Vaccines aren't treatment, they're prevention and protection against disease. Don't you understand the benefits of herd immunity to both individuals and society as a whole?...
