    Emergent replied to Kitiger's topic in Disaster Preparation

    LOL, he is just rambling on and on about his paranoid musings. I used to love those sugar cubes. My mother was anti-sugar (thanks Mom!), so those were such a treat! I like the way he says at the end...

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think parents should have a right do not vaccinate their children, just as they have a right to feed them junk food. I tend to fall in the libertarian philosophy for many things. There are some...

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I know the FCC is supposed to make some attempt to allow fair access. I personally believe that it's a bad idea to suppress even conspiracy theories. ZDoggMD also mentioned that he disagrees with the...

    "At Burger King, We're Updating Our Safety Procedures"

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It irritates me that junk food chains have the ability to stay open and make money, but independent restaurants with no takeout do not. This whole 'essential business' thing seems awfully arbitrarily...

    Emergent replied to jennifer.nadal's topic in Nursing Career

    Right now might not be the best time to make a career jump. Due to the covid-19 crisis, many hospitals have ceased hiring. I started my career in long-term care. The job market was poor when I...

    LOL, not much of a contribution to this discussion. You stated the obvious, that this is an opinion piece. The Atlantic is a fine, respected, mainstream publication. If you aren't interested in...

    50% of fatalities in nursing homes in some States

    Emergent posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I was wondering, do you think that countries that do more elder care in family settings, rather than institutional ones, will fare better in this crisis? I read today, on a mainstream news outlet,...

    Nasal cannulas behind the head

    Stop Hating on Psych Nurses

    Emergent replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    I find that, when people have decided to be offended oh, they will be offended. A lot of people really enjoy being offended. It's sort of a conditioned response that seems to happen in

    Stop Hating on Psych Nurses

    Emergent replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Psyche is a specialized field of Nursing that doesn't appeal to a lot of people. I'm certainly one of those. I can't stand Psych. Sometimes I find myself making fun of the whole psychiatric industry....

    Yes, I was wondering about that. It's one thing to purposely expose yourself, if that is what you think is right to do. It would be an entirely different thing to go out into society, possibly...
