  1. Nurse Stealing Narcotic And Get Away With It

    macawake replied to April90's topic in General Nursing

    I’ll echo Sour Lemon and ask you; what have you actually seen? Meaning with your own two eyes. Saying that a coworker is pocketing narcotics for himself, ie stealing, is a serious accusation. If you...

  2. Trump Fires Mark Esper, His Defense Secretary

    macawake replied to chare's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Thanks for posting chare! I’ve got to say, even though it doesn’t come as a huge surprise, this makes me a bit uneasy. I’m hoping this is just the usual White House musical chairs drama, but...

  3. Mother/Baby RN-Desire to become a Lactation Consultant-Considering CLC to start?

    macawake replied to thankyounurses727's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi there, welcome to AN ? Unfortunately I can’t offer anything helpful on the lactation consultant query you have. I work in anesthesia, in Europe to boot. So I’m kind of useless on that...

  4. Bilateral Mastectomy and Blood Pressure

    macawake replied to gpmedsec's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that there is no supporting evidence and that it’s axillary lymph mode removal, and not the mastectomy, that’s been thought of as a potential risk. I don’t agree that the pressure a...

  5. BBC says Joe Biden has won

    macawake replied to Silverdragon102's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    As a Republican there might be policy decisions made in the next four years that you don’t fully agree with, but having read your posts and semi-gotten to know you, I think you would have felt much...

  6. Ever date a patient? Or would you?

    macawake replied to MarkMyWords's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it pretty is much mommy issues I’m describing. Something I have a fierce allergy to ? I agree that dating is about getting to know the other person but I’ve never gone on a date with...

  7. Ever date a patient? Or would you?

    macawake replied to MarkMyWords's topic in General Nursing

    Of course it happens. There are millions of nurses worldwide, so it’s bound to have happened and will no doubt happen again in the future. However I don’t think it’s very common. You do not have...

  8. Trump claims victory with many states still undeclared, hints at possible Supreme Court case

    macawake replied to chare's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Yes he is. There is nothing fraudulent about counting all the votes cast. That’s how things are done in democracies and it’s how it’s normally been done in the U.S. during previous elections....

  9. Trump’s assault on Postal Service and voting is a plot against American democracy

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I never said it was different, did I? I try hard to avoid calling all of anything something. When I criticize something someone says, I always try to be specific about what it is I’m disagreeing...

  10. Trump’s assault on Postal Service and voting is a plot against American democracy

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    You’ve called people who have a different political preference than you name like commies, left wing nuts, commissars, the charming ”gruppenführer” with its nazi connotation, socialists,...

  11. Defunding the Police: Win /Win Situation Or Recipe for Disaster?

    macawake replied to simba and mufasa's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    OP, I don’t quite understand what you’re asking here. Win/win for who? First of all, are you talking about reallocating a minor part of police department budgets to social services, housing,...

  12. Defunding the Police: Win /Win Situation Or Recipe for Disaster?

    macawake replied to simba and mufasa's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I’m confused. I’m not an American and English is not my first language so maybe I’m missing something here. I don’t think the ”Erickson” that OP is referring to is the Trump fan who thinks...

  13. President Trump was likely largest driver of COVID-19 misinformation “infodemic” per Cornell University study

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Honestly I think the ”science” behind it, both here in Europe and in the U.S., is that they realize that if too many healthcare professionals are off sick at the same time, patients will suffer...

  14. President Trump was likely largest driver of COVID-19 misinformation “infodemic” per Cornell University study

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I wonder if Trump and the people who believe what he says about the pandemic think that ”TEST, TEST, TEST” also explains the increasing positivity rate? (It doesn’t). It’s not a ”fake media...

  15. Bullied at work, and the DON won't do anything about it. (venting)

    macawake replied to NewRN'16's topic in General Nursing

    By refusing to leave, aren’t you in effect cutting off your nose to spite your face? We spend a significant part of our lives at work. Personally I wouldn’t voluntarily spend that much time...

  16. Trump’s assault on Postal Service and voting is a plot against American democracy

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Okay... But you’re not really answering any of my questions. Of course you don’t have to, but why not do it? You’re spending time here, same as me, and took a couple of minutes to type the above...

  17. Trump’s assault on Postal Service and voting is a plot against American democracy

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    For the sake of transparency: I’m a European which of course means I won’t be voting in your upcoming election. We have elections every four years in my country as well. I never listen to...

  18. Trump’s assault on Postal Service and voting is a plot against American democracy

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    So are the two ”teams” and their respective track records and behavior equivalent in your

  19. Trump’s assault on Postal Service and voting is a plot against American democracy

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Did you just come here to yawn? Are there any details in the articles that you think you can disprove? I haven’t read them, but I’m guessing neither have you. But if I was to declare them untrue I...

  20. Trump’s assault on Postal Service and voting is a plot against American democracy

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Any disease with a 6% mortality rate (or a 94% survival rate as you put it) is actually pretty scary. But that’s not what the CDC said that people without comorbidities have, if they get infected...

  21. New Medical Syndrome (can I have it named after me...)

    macawake replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    ICD-10-CM code please. There’s no way in hades I’m charting

  22. President Trump was likely largest driver of COVID-19 misinformation “infodemic” per Cornell University study

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    You have a point, but I guess I don’t mind getting a bit dirty ? Back in my old career, some shifts you were put in charge of the cells at the police station. These shifts were generally spent...

  23. President Trump was likely largest driver of COVID-19 misinformation “infodemic” per Cornell University study

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I realize that your post was in response to a poster. I was just informing you about something that ought to be extremely obvious. The way you chose to word your reply has a very low chance of being...

  24. New Medical Syndrome (can I have it named after me...)

    macawake replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I feel your pain ?

  25. President Trump was likely largest driver of COVID-19 misinformation “infodemic” per Cornell University study

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I’ve always felt that your man has all the debating skill and persuasive talent of a malevolent gnat, status post-brainectomy. A bit harsh I guess, but that’s my perception. Perhaps we can...
