  1. Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    macawake replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You’re right of course. There are many more unrights that need to be addressed. But I’m not sure I understand the reason you worded the quoted sentence the way you did. The fact that people of...

  2. Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    macawake replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Hoosier_RN, if you’ve only heard of, but not seen the many peaceful protesters, I think you’ve either been watching ”If it bleeds it leads” TV or a media outlet that has a political agenda and...

  3. Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    macawake replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Is that really all you see? Cities being burned down? I’m in Europe so I’ve only seen the protests on TV, but from here they look like most demonstrations l’ve ever worked. A majority peacefully...

  4. How Vietnam (97 million people) managed to keep its coronavirus death toll at zero

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Oh, gosh ? OP, I’m sorry. I just came off a long shift and my brain isn’t fully operational ? I just realized that your (user)name is Karen. You know I wasn’t referring to you in my previous...

  5. How Vietnam (97 million people) managed to keep its coronavirus death toll at zero

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think that Mike here thinks that his right to do what he pleases should reign supreme and that anyone (especially people named Karen) who is afraid of catching Covid-19 should just cower under their...

  6. The culture of silence and police brutality

    macawake replied to rebeccaUTA's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you that people who haven’t worked in law enforcement can often voice opinions about things they don’t fully understand and that they sometimes base their judgments on incomplete...

  7. Is anyone else holy crap concerned?

    macawake replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes, people generally are accountable for themselves and their own choices. But that choice includes the advice we choose to give others, the information/disinformation we choose to spread and the...

  8. Want some more fun? Here's another conspiracy theory.

    macawake replied to Kitiger's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thank you so much heron ? I’ve missed you as well, along with some other AN posters/forum friends I used to ”hang out” with in various threads. I hope you’re all doing OK. Take care you guys

  9. Want some more fun? Here's another conspiracy theory.

    macawake replied to Kitiger's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Bill Gates, The Illuminati, The Global Chairman of the Deep State and 5G network operators all over the world are welcome to stick a nano nasopharyngeal vaccine up my nostril anytime ? ”It just...

  10. Are We Too PC?

    macawake replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not privy to the thoughts of California lawmakers but my guess is that they want to send a signal about what values they want to promote in their society and also strengthen the protections of a...

  11. Are We Too PC?

    macawake replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I think that you're absolutely correct. If the complaints were legitimate, the people who make them shouldn't find it so darn difficult to come up with examples of things they'd like to be able to...

  12. Help me name my baby!

    macawake replied to audreysmagic's topic in General Nursing

    As some of you may know and some of you don't, I'm Swedish. I suggest Liv That means LIFE in Swedish and I can't think of a more suitable name for a CPR mannequin :) It's a Swedish/Norwegian name but...

  13. Are We Too PC?

    macawake replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Knock yourself out. I'm convinced that you're plenty smart enough to figure out that if you talk about or address a person in a different manner than they want to be addressed, you know that you've...

  14. Are We Too PC?

    macawake replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    The song doesn't make me think of date rape but rather that I'm glad that I wasn't young in that era. Since I've never been shy about stating what I want, I probably wouldn't have been very content to...

  15. Are We Too PC?

    macawake replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I'm quite convinced that I could fly to Sea-Tac International and run around all the terminals yelling Easter egg at the top of my lungs and not have to worry about being scolded and flogged...

  16. Are We Too PC?

    macawake replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard that song before now and I must admit that listening to it annoyed the **** out of me. Mostly because it was painfully repetitious. Should it be banned though? No. I can change...

  17. Did this patient overreact?!

    macawake replied to Apatientnow's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you have doubts? I mean, in my hospital we always refer to childbirth as "letting it all hang out". And we always talk to our patients like that

  18. Did this patient overreact?!

    macawake replied to Apatientnow's topic in General Nursing

    I'm always suspicious of first-time posters whose first literary contribution to this forum is about either memberes or lady partss. The above quote doesn't help. At all. Anyway, you're asking a...

  19. Understanding the Risk of Firearms: Suicide vs. Homicide

    macawake replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't fact-checked your claim but since few, if any, countries have more firearms per capita than you do and there are countries with higher homicide rates than yours, your assessment sounds...

  20. Understanding the Risk of Firearms: Suicide vs. Homicide

    macawake replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    I think knowing our history is extremely important, but I wonder about the conclusions you've drawn. Of course I've heard the same claim you're making here, many times from other gun rights advocates...

  21. Understanding the Risk of Firearms: Suicide vs. Homicide

    macawake replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    No apology necessary in my opinion, but thank you :) It's easy to overreact to some of my posts, especially when I deliberately attempt to push buttons (or at the very least not care if I do) :)...

  22. Understanding the Risk of Firearms: Suicide vs. Homicide

    macawake replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    I do agree that there is clear evidence of some pretty blatant attacks on your status as a functioning democracy. However, I'm not sure how you think your peashooters will protect you against that....

  23. Understanding the Risk of Firearms: Suicide vs. Homicide

    macawake replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I used to study crap like domestic terrorism. I wasn't a nurse when that bombing took place, so I'm aware. Not sure why you bring it up though, surely you realize that I'm not advocating that...

  24. Understanding the Risk of Firearms: Suicide vs. Homicide

    macawake replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    Schools are "gun free zones" in a majority of other "first-world" countries too, yet they have no way near the number of mass shootings as yours do. Why do you think that is? Home invasions aren't...

  25. Understanding the Risk of Firearms: Suicide vs. Homicide

    macawake replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    How is your response to OP's post supposed to be interpreted? Does it mean that you feel that any education on gun safety is a waste of time and energy and that public health concerns are of no...
