  1. Should I leave this racist town?

    chopwood carrywater replied to ChutneyFries's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It is good you were able to deal with this situation and gain their trust. But to me it indicates that you - a woman, and for the OP - an African American, have to prove that you are deserving of...

    chopwood carrywater replied to ChutneyFries's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In England and Europe where the nazi swastika is illegal, the confederate flag is used in its place. What is the racial divisiveness that President Obama - you do not even have the respect to say his...

  4. Should I leave this racist town?

    chopwood carrywater replied to ChutneyFries's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And who has disassociated the confederate (battle) flag from racism? There may be exceptions and it may be out of ignorance of what it represents- the right for the southern states to maintain human...

  5. Should I leave this racist town?

    chopwood carrywater replied to ChutneyFries's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Dear Roser, I mean no disrespect, but how can someone born of our generation not be aware of racism and prejudice. It never, ever, went away. Not to say that some things aren't better, but racism...

    chopwood carrywater replied to UpinawayRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Work per firm in hospice. Find an acute care/hospital job that might suit you better. As for your dad's comment... At least if my career is going to die, it will be pain free. Seriously though, I...

    chopwood carrywater replied to Elsa15's topic in General Nursing

    chopwood carrywater replied to Raviepoo's topic in Hospice, Palliative

  11. Providence hospital 'let's go' of 68 crna's sounds fishy

    chopwood carrywater posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I came across this article in the Detroit free press. It's worth reading the comments there since the article does not offer enough information. 68 nurses say St. John Providence fired them in...

  12. Libertarian Nurses View on Core Measures

    chopwood carrywater replied to bluelion's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    chopwood carrywater replied to bmel's topic in General Nursing

    During the final hours as a pt is actively dying, their respirations are often shallow, abdominal or agonal in nature. At this point the O2 is mostly for the family. And if the noise or just the...

  16. I'm leaving floor nursing...

    chopwood carrywater replied to newbieRN2012's topic in General Nursing

    A lot will depend on how understanding your employer is and how well your team works when it's crunch time. This has been a harder then normal week for me, but I still love what I do and the amazing...

  17. Hello out there......anybody there?

    chopwood carrywater replied to qaqueen's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    It could be related to the number of IPUs compared to population density and number of those people who have inpatient insurance coverage. Whatever the reason I'm glad to know you're there for the...

    chopwood carrywater replied to qaqueen's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    They're closing bc of high costs of operation along with a decrease on pmts from Medicare as well as a decrease in pts who have private insurance coverage. The folks who had that coverage often had a...

    chopwood carrywater replied to nursecathi's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    chopwood carrywater replied to EMSnurse411's topic in Spirituality, Religion

  22. An Atheist Nurse in King James Hospital

    chopwood carrywater replied to EMSnurse411's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I did not mean to thank! I was trying to quote only and say "what". How would this lead to trouble? Unless the op was being snide or condescending or otherwise disrespectful, I don't think it would...

  24. Could this be discrimination?

    chopwood carrywater replied to FutureRNKKP's topic in General Students

    Maybe she wants to. Maybe she shouldn't have to go to another 'drinking fountain' or lunch counter. Maybe it is discrimination maybe it's outright racism. There's nothing wrong with demanding...
