    Do you know anyone who was offended by Eskimo Pie ice cream treats?

    Emergent replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Another attempt by the corporate food industry to get publicity for their unhealthy crap. Similar to the new Coke / classic Coke PR campaign years ago. Meanwhile, the people who eat their toxic...

    I turned in my mentor because she was diverting morphine

    Emergent replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in Addictions

    I turned in a co-worker once. It was very stressful at the time. It doesn't bother me now, he is back into a monitoring program and working as an IV

    Family not taking Covid-19 precautions and only myself!

    Emergent replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You can always not go to the barbecue. Otherwise just do what you want and let them do what they want. I wouldn't get into a big argument about it. I have a lot of family members that are super into...

    No Scott Toilet Paper?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The thing about the Scott 1 ply toilet paper is that, the rolls last forever. You get a lot more bang for your buck. It's also excellent for septic systems. It might not be as softest something like...

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Update: I stopped by Fred Meyer today for the first time in forever, my main purpose was to see if they had German Chamomile seeds (they did). I just happened to walk down the TP aisle, and lo and...

    Coronavirus Second Wave?

    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...

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

    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....

    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....

    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...
