  1. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    DesiDani replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    No one claimed racism when Asian business owners defended their businesses during the Rodney King

  2. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    DesiDani replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Don't worry I will always have the time for impatient people who suffer from oblivious stupidity. Or maybe it is ignorance? Ignorance implies you know something, but do it anyway. Where as stupidity...

  3. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    DesiDani replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Let me add: When someone does speak ups, they are treated poorly. Like that female cop who stopped a chokehold and got fired. It signals that I better go along or I will be on the wrong side. Let...

  4. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    DesiDani replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    As for this black cop argument you'll are having I liken it to that study on authority, where half a study group was told to be prisoners, while the other are guards. It is the same effect, but on a...

  5. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    DesiDani replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Well that's obvious. You don't see color, because you are no affected by colorism and racism. Sure everyone has bad behaviors, but minorities are treated differently after and even before a bad...

  6. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    DesiDani replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    No it is not a good trait. No one wants to hear that. They want to enjoy time by themselves or their family without having some stranger tell them that they are not

  7. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    DesiDani replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Well perhaps you are one of those people who don't see color. I am not aggrieved at them needing the chair, but the needless disclaimer rant is insulting and implies that people are on the fine line...

  8. My patient is going to get a pressure ulcer and there's little we can do to stop it. How do you handle situations like this?

    DesiDani replied to wernicke's topic in General Nursing

    Like Tricia asked, is she ambulatory? If so can she use a

  9. Between a rock and a hard place (or Sedated patient deemed me uncompassionate)

    DesiDani replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing world is the Twilight Zone. People think that since you are safely managing their conditions you are cruel. While the admin who comes around with a checklist and promises them a cheesecake...

  10. Taking a break? How long until you came back?

    DesiDani replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Ha ha I thought you meant a break at work. I took a break for a bit, now with Yahoo Answers gone ?, who knows. At work (sly way of changing the subject) I don't take a break until, my first round is...

  11. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    DesiDani replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I quoted myself. My computer froze and I didn't know my comment posted. Guess it did. I just wanted to give an example of a typical unnecessary disclaimers minorities have to hear. Let's say...

  12. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    DesiDani replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    As a black female I just LOVE the long disclaimer a white person gives me before they tell me their opinion or ask me

  13. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    DesiDani replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Y'all do know that migrants are to be placed in the foster care system. The very same system that Bryant was in. The system is already short of qualified case workers to oversee them. Media reported...

  14. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    DesiDani replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I got pulled over by a white cop that thought I was drunk. I misjudged the off ramp twice. He asked me a silly question "what's at the casino?" Gambling. Any who I wasn't nervous or...

  15. Getting fired by a patient/ family member

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I wander if people know that everything that happens in a hospital sets off a chain reaction? That 15 min urinal task just delayed help to someone else. Even if another nurse helps out that nurse's...

  16. Getting fired by a patient/ family member

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    At least (tiny least) they used your name. They could of easily went by "that white, black, Asian, Mexican (Don't you know ALL latinos are Mexican?) nurse who took care of me". After all some...

  17. Getting fired by a patient/ family member

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Wow!?!?

  18. Getting fired by a patient/ family member

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think some misunderstood my question. One patient literally fired every nurse on the unit (in one shift). When the CN finally coerced a poor RN to deal with him. He didn't even...

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

  20. Coworkers Turning On Heavy Metal and Rock Music In the Dining Room For Elderly Residents

    DesiDani replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    This reminds me when at a LTC place they had some group play music for the residents. Well unfortunately for them one of the residents apparently was a piano instructor. She had dementia, but still...

  21. Which patients are you most scared to take care of?

    DesiDani replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    None. I have yet to have a patient that I was afraid to take care of, even after I've been given a heads up about a patient's tone. I have to get pretty close to patients and plus my unit is the only...

  22. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    DesiDani replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Healthcare workers need reform too. Some use excessive force and some are racist and prejudicial against there

  23. How many chances do you give a job before you quit?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Breaking point quitting runs the risk of you cursing out your charge nurse, doctor, or staffing. You can only hope the outburst doesn't follow

  24. President Biden thread

    DesiDani replied to Beerman's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Was it stoking doubt when Harris said she would take the vaccine if Trump puts it out? Well the vaccine is from Trump admin. This is such an unhinged thread. I can only speculate as to why...
