  1. Relocating to South Florida from NYC

    michaeljr replied to Ladyt03's topic in Florida Nursing

    A 2 bed in the city of Boston or NYC is 2500-4k all day. That's a base price. In nice areas, upper end neighborhoods, if you have to ask the price you shouldn't be looking there. Those prices make 4k...

  2. Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    michaeljr replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I carry daily regardless. Rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have

  3. Nurse brutally beaten in a Brooklyn Hospital

    michaeljr replied to HGTVrn33's topic in Nursing News

    I was actually using the words "old woman" because I wanted to stress just how dire the situation was. Anyone over 65 in a physical confrontation is a recipe for disaster, and I was stressing just how...

  4. Nurse brutally beaten in a Brooklyn Hospital

    michaeljr replied to HGTVrn33's topic in Nursing News

    And the over 2,000,000 times per hear that guns are used to stop crimes by average citizens? (That's a real number per FBI database, look it up for yourself, inconvenient truth for antis). Rapes,...

  5. Nurse brutally beaten in a Brooklyn Hospital

    michaeljr replied to HGTVrn33's topic in Nursing News

    So you're not familiar with the real stats behind my opinion are you? Actual numbers, not emotions and knee jerk assumptions based on nothing but fear and

  6. Nurse brutally beaten in a Brooklyn Hospital

    michaeljr replied to HGTVrn33's topic in Nursing News

    I'm just stressing the importance of armed individuals in hospital settings. This incident was stopped, thankfully, but next time someone might not be as fortunate. I feel as though this is a perfect...

  7. Nurse brutally beaten in a Brooklyn Hospital

    michaeljr replied to HGTVrn33's topic in Nursing News

    I didn't use it as a soapbox, you're twisting my intention to demonize me and my opinion, failed on that. As for radical, you need to do some reading. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but...

  8. Fired for refusing??

    michaeljr replied to Indyrn00's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Education and life experience has no bearing on someone's ability to question authority. It's even worse if they have said life experience, and chose not to utilize it. I have a finance background,...

  9. Nurse brutally beaten in a Brooklyn Hospital

    michaeljr replied to HGTVrn33's topic in Nursing News

    Thankfully, he's going to prison. Unfortunately, our prison system is backwards, and he will more than likely slip thru the cracks, being that he's a "victim of circumstance" of the "disease" known as...

  10. Nurse brutally beaten in a Brooklyn Hospital

    michaeljr replied to HGTVrn33's topic in Nursing News

    Disrespectful? Really? Where did you come up with this conclusion? Okay...so, you'd rather nobody stop the incident? Supposedly it was the other way around, said maniac has a gun. Are you going to...

  11. Nurse brutally beaten in a Brooklyn Hospital

    michaeljr replied to HGTVrn33's topic in Nursing News

    Judged by 12, or carried by 6. Won't matter if you have a job or face charges if you're not around anymore. I'd rather be breathing and pleading self defense than dead. IMO, concealed means concealed....

  12. How do we support our mentally ill

    michaeljr replied to MatrixRn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Deinstitutionalization was a huge blow. They made mistakes, but were in their early stages. If they turned it around, brought back facilities, we would be heading in the right direction again. We...

  13. Lifestyle Discrimination

    michaeljr replied to utadahikaru's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Live and let live. If you're not hurting anyone else, I don't see how your lifestyle has any relevance. That being said, I so believe private entities should be able to hire/fire as they please....

  14. Nurse brutally beaten in a Brooklyn Hospital

    michaeljr replied to HGTVrn33's topic in Nursing News

    Law doesn't protect us. It's an illusion of safety, nothing more. The implied notion that all people follow laws. Criminals do not, making them criminals. Laws are invisible suggestions that protect...

  15. Nurse brutally beaten in a Brooklyn Hospital

    michaeljr replied to HGTVrn33's topic in Nursing News

    I'm fine with open carry too. I think it's completely relevant. Nobody was armed, nobody defended the old woman. If people were Armed, I dare say it would have ended much

  16. Nurse brutally beaten in a Brooklyn Hospital

    michaeljr replied to HGTVrn33's topic in Nursing News

    Damn those pesky numbers and facts, those fantasy 2,000,000+ people that stopped an assault/rape/home invasion. Let's not pay attention to facts, emotion only is the name of the game right? You did...

  17. Nurse brutally beaten in a Brooklyn Hospital

    michaeljr replied to HGTVrn33's topic in Nursing News

    Yeah, why not. And how exactly would he have taken it? While he was being plugged, or after? If someone tries to grab your gun, you create some distance with weak off hand, you pull the trigger with...

  18. Nurse brutally beaten in a Brooklyn Hospital

    michaeljr replied to HGTVrn33's topic in Nursing News

    Keep in mind though, this is NYC we are talking about, self help is discouraged and people lose their jobs for the such. Texas, on the other hand, I'd take a gander and say that said attacker...

  19. What do you think can be done to improve access to mental health care?

    michaeljr replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Deinstitutionalization was an enormous loss to this country. The practices were...less than ideal for quite some time. A reestablishment of it would be a great improvement. The stigma and complete...

  20. If we had a conservative nurses forum

    michaeljr replied to FLmomof5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'd

  21. Nurse brutally beaten in a Brooklyn Hospital

    michaeljr replied to HGTVrn33's topic in Nursing News

    I don't mean to sound critical, nothing personal, but what does an informational meeting

  22. Fired for refusing??

    michaeljr replied to Indyrn00's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well, which would you like me to address first? The list of FDA blunders, CDC failures, the members of each that have served on boards of big pharm businesses, etc? Doesn't take much to find hundreds...

  23. Another tattoo Discussion

    michaeljr replied to Alove725's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm covered, sleeves...no neck and hands though, nothing that can't be covered by a suit or business attire of the such. I believe the under 35 crowd is largely color blind, Not phased by tattoos,...

  24. Nurse brutally beaten in a Brooklyn Hospital

    michaeljr replied to HGTVrn33's topic in Nursing News

    It is awful. The assumption of safety anywhere is nothing more than an illusion. "Violence free workspace", "gun free zone", "safe zone", all just suggestions....hollow words that fall on deaf ears...

  25. MSN to Medical School

    michaeljr replied to starluka's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My intended route is also BSN to med. Spoke to BU med admissions, apparently it's not as uncommon as one would
