    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    FolksBtrippin replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't think that was suggested. The idea is to defund the overfunded police department and put social programs in place of the overfunded police departments. Police departments should not be...

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    FolksBtrippin replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That's just not how I define voluntary. Like I said, being a member is voluntary. The terms of service are not. It's an important distinction that has been blurred by predatory "contracts" that...

    How far can hospital go?

    FolksBtrippin replied to RNTX31's topic in General Nursing

    My union would not allow this. If you do have a union, this is the kind of thing you grieve with them. My union contract specifically stated who could float where and postpartum could not be floated...

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    FolksBtrippin replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    For something to be voluntary, people must be able to choose yes or no on that particular thing. The terms of service are not voluntary because we can't choose no on any of the terms of service. They...

    Can I be a nurse if I have depression and was admitted into mental hospital??

    FolksBtrippin replied to bluedelta2803's topic in Michigan Nursing

    No, you are not disqualified. The board does not have access to your medical records. I recommend that you do not disclose your mental health history, as it is your right to keep that

    Ethical Issues

    FolksBtrippin replied to RN2020scm's topic in General Nursing

    Sure, I'll explain myself. I said "stick to anesthesia" because you know nothing about psychiatry and have stated that the nurse in question has "mental problems." You are pearl clutching. Your...

    When Your Preceptee is a Know-it-All

    FolksBtrippin replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    As to one of the roles of the preceptor as "Socializer"... Okay, but we are socializing a nurse to unit culture. As in, this is Harry the CNA. We put our personal items in our lockers. Feel free to...

    Orientation As A Semi-Experienced Nurse is Aggravating

    FolksBtrippin replied to AlmostThere19's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Getting babied is better than getting thrown to the wolves. As an agency nurse, I have been handed the most ridiculous situations with no orientation whatsoever. So just grin and bear the...

    When Your Preceptee is a Know-it-All

    FolksBtrippin replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I was kind of a know it all, and still can be a bit of a know it all sometimes. I agree with everything except for the advice about the social stuff. Stick to precepting on nursing stuff and let know...

    Got Written Up, Cant Stop Thinking About It

    FolksBtrippin replied to ThatNurseThough's topic in General Nursing

    2 very serious red flags for this hospital. 1. Making a policy that you are not entitled to report. You really should not accept a patient without report. This is a lack of respect for your process...

    Riots in Minneapolis

    Stop equating rioters to protestors. They are not the same people. Rioting is

    The culture of silence and police brutality

    FolksBtrippin replied to rebeccaUTA's topic in General Nursing

    It's not the unions. The last thing we need is to attack unions. It's because of "qualified immunity". That needs to

    Ethical Issues

    FolksBtrippin replied to RN2020scm's topic in General Nursing

    She's not wrong and this is not an ethical issue. Whether an employer can fire her for it, probably. Even if they make up some baloney reason. What other sexist *** do you want to talk about

    The culture of silence and police brutality

    FolksBtrippin replied to rebeccaUTA's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen this more than silence. Nurses throwing each other under the bus. Both are morally

    Does prestige of program matter?

    FolksBtrippin replied to ad2020's topic in General Students

    This. 100 percent. Also state schools are usually more affordable and also higher

    Is anyone else holy crap concerned?

    FolksBtrippin replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Am I concerned that Trump could develop a fatal arrhythmia? Hmmm.... I suppose that's one way this hell could be over. But then there's Pence and who knows what damage he'd do. As far as being...

    Full time jobs hard to find ?

    FolksBtrippin replied to Anotherdegree4me's topic in General Nursing

    My experience in nursing is that there are many jobs, and you will never be out of work or have a hard time finding benefitted full time positions, but there are few *good* jobs. At 50, you know...

    Nurse with mental issues?

    FolksBtrippin replied to Nurseunite's topic in General Nursing

    In nursing, there are a lot of jobs, but there are not a lot of *good* jobs. For this reason, nurses are often job hoppers. It's not a big deal. Folks will hardly notice. You'll stop hopping when you...

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    FolksBtrippin replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes, I posted on a social media site that has "terms of service". I would not actually call the terms of service a voluntary agreement, but I also don't think that niche sites like allnurses should be...

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    FolksBtrippin replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree with you that the local comedy club and bakery refusing to allow profanity or hate speech is not censorship. So, I am not really sure what you are getting at. My assertions are that: 1. Human...

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    FolksBtrippin replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes, what happened is called censorship. Private entities do it more frequently in this country than public entities. It is a problem and does hinder free speech. Examples: book burning, censorship...

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    FolksBtrippin replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Good question. I believe in protecting free speech. Speech has a definition. Speech is the expression of thought. Should pedophiles, nazis and Klan have free speech, yes. But let's be clear about...

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    FolksBtrippin replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's about how we define public space and private space. I don't think we should define the big social media outlets as strictly private spaces, because they really aren't and shouldn't be labeled as...
