    Coronavirus Second Wave?

    Emergent replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Throwing around the grandma killer card is getting old. Grandma should wear an N-95 mask when she's out and about, not expect society to come to a halt for

    Protests and Systemic Racism Stop Blaming Underlying Health Conditions and Comorbidities

    Emergent replied to herring_RN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Everyone is trying to jump on the bandwagon with the new angle on why they don't like racist cops. It's like the slacktivists on facebook sharing memes about it, as if they are some big time social...

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    Emergent posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I understand that private entities can control what speech is put on their media. But is that a wise idea not to air alternative points of view on huge powerhouses such as Youtube, facebook, Twitter...

    Removing Racial Stereotypes from Products

    Emergent replied to sirI's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I don't buy those lousy foods anyways. I don't think the image of a comforting, nurturing black woman who cooks is at all negative, though. These big announcements of this type are stupid publicity...

    Coronavirus Second Wave?

    Emergent replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think the virus is here to stay. We, in the first world, have gotten used to such a high standard a care that it shocks us to see vulnerable people taken out by a virus. Of course, throughout human...

    Best States for RN's and NP's both in terms of pay and practice?

    Emergent replied to myoglobin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I live in Washington State. Of course I can go to Oregon relatively easily, and was passing through there a couple years ago. I needed an item from a hardware store. I looked in the Oregon store, and...

    allnurses has Become so Politicized

    Emergent replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I see my feelings of being intimidated as a 17 yr old girl are irrelevant to my colleagues here. Yes, I was afraid to complain to the school for fear of being belittled as a racist. They obviously...

    Emergent replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Speaking of microaggressions. My last year of high school I moved in with my father and had to switch schools. The new school was approximately 50% black, 50%white. I remember, only black girls...

    Charmin Commercials THE WORST!

    Emergent posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I just watched another obnoxious covid-19 related commercial by Charmin toilet paper. They reported how hard they are working to keep us supplied with toilet paper, and then try to emotionally...

    Emergent replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    It is an extremely rare occurrence for someone to change their mind from an internet debate. It's basically a way for people to spout off, then congratulate themselves on their brilliant articulation...

    You don't have any persistent, stalkerish tendencies at all. Most people don't. Occasional quotes of a post one disagrees with is OK. Repetitive behavior like that is

    Emergent replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    There are a couple people here who are just so repetitively political that I had to put them on ignore. They like to debate endlessly and quote someone constantly in order to get a response from them....

    Is 6 times a day too many to visit a favorite patient who isn’t on your caseload?

    Emergent replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    My intuition tells me this patient was being manipulative. Patients can do this by showering a caregiver with compliments, and telling them that no others can do the job properly. I don't know what...

    Emergent replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Telling other posters here "you need a psych eval", is highly insulting. That's a lot different than suggesting maybe talking to a counselor. A psych eval is associated with someone in a major crisis....

    could the covid-19 have made it harder for new grad nurses with no previous medical experience to find a job?

    Emergent replied to short cake's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Hospitals are not desperate for new grads right now in New York City. They have shut down a lot of services. You are in the same boat as a lot of people who are being affected by lockdowns and...

    I don't think the OP is insane. She recognized that she was getting drawn in too much emotionally, came here for advice, and willingly received it. I think hurling around derogatives like that...

    New Nurse - unhappy with first job

    Emergent replied to Flashsomefang's topic in General Nursing

    Stick it out until you have passed NCLEX and have another job lined up. You're lucky to be able to work before NCLEX. Hopefully soon the economy will get going. The hospitals will be inundated with...

    Public health officials fighting Covid-19 virus face growing threats, get security details

    Emergent replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There is a legitimate debate going on over the necessity of lockdown vs the deleterious effects on the economy. People like me, who are more on the side of allowing herd immunity to occur naturally,...

    Emergent replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    One thing staff would do with Edna (she was a favorite of many), was to spend their lunch break with her. It was a 60 bed nursing home in a small, rural area where Edna had lived her whole life. She...

    No Scott Toilet Paper?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Every time I go to the store I'm buying a few things extra to stockpile. I will look and see what is on sale. I bought a tub of lard, dried beans, canned chili, beer and wine. I have a freezer full of...

    Emergent replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I get it. I loved Edna, years ago. But you can't let it affect your duties. Edna became a surrogate grandma for my little girls, 2 and 4, whose father had died. We would visit her, on our own time....
