    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

    FolksBtrippin replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    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

    Yes, this is

    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...

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    FolksBtrippin replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I like this idea. Right now, Youtube and facebook are taking posts down

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    FolksBtrippin replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't think that social media giants should be censoring and my opinion has nothing to do with whether or not what they are censoring is true. When you censor an idea, you give power to it and you...

    Facial coverings effective?

    FolksBtrippin replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes, masks are effective at slowing down the spread. This is a droplet illness. Your mask protects others from your droplets. How is it that nurses don't know this?

    Fear-mongering in nursing school

    FolksBtrippin replied to Guest1033582's topic in General Students

    I did not find nursing school to be academically all that challenging. Once I got the hang of the NCLEX style questions, which are training you to think like a nurse, I did not find it that difficult....

    Where to go as a nurse if you dont want to work with patients at ALL?

    FolksBtrippin replied to guest1074618's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse manager. Inspector of nursing homes for the state. You could go into policy. Instead of nurse practitioner, try pursuing something that would get you away from patient care. Good

    DCFS opinions?

    FolksBtrippin replied to Rasberry_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    You are wrong if you are overreporting people with the false idea that if you don't over report, you will get in trouble. This is cover - your - *** culture, which is detrimental to your integrity,...

    DCFS opinions?

    FolksBtrippin replied to Rasberry_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    The first case you cited was head trauma, obviously inflicted by someone. That was a failure to report abuse. The second was of a severely handicapped child who was covered in feces and bedsores and...

    DCFS opinions?

    FolksBtrippin replied to Rasberry_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    Scenario B has never happened. And thank god, because I would turn in my license right now if this were the actual practice environment. We aren't fortune tellers. Look up for yourself how often...

    DCFS opinions?

    FolksBtrippin replied to Rasberry_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    I would not question myself on how the child got a hold of the brownie. I would question the child. As I stated before, if there is no evidence the parent gave the child the brownie on purpose,...

    DCFS opinions?

    FolksBtrippin replied to Rasberry_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    Sure. To me, a kid taking a bite of his parent's pot brownie is not neglect or abuse on the part of the parent, and the parent did the right thing by bringing the kid to the ER. If the parent refused...
