    Racism in the workplace

    ZASHAGALKA replied to staygold's topic in General Nursing

    From "Somebody Else's House" by Tamar Jacoby: "Integration, (Stokely Carmichael) wrote . . . in his widely read book, 'Black Power', is not only unrealistic, but 'despicable', based on the assumption...

    Racism in the workplace

    ZASHAGALKA replied to staygold's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I concede to let your links on Mr. Jones speak for themselves in refuting the candidate's obvious political and intellectual shortcomings. . . The reason Rush rarely acknowledges his absurdity is...

    Racism in the workplace

    ZASHAGALKA replied to staygold's topic in General Nursing

    By accepting a lessor goal of self-segregation, and not full integration, we allowed the issue to settle on the backburner. There is still miles to go, and we, as a nation, are asleep at the wheel....

    asn or bsn

    ZASHAGALKA replied to trustar's topic in LPN to RN

    You are probably better served going LPN-ADN RN route. There are programs there that let you use your LVN/LPN experience to 'transition' into those programs. Then, set your sights on ADN-BSN...

    Racism in the workplace

    ZASHAGALKA replied to staygold's topic in General Nursing

    I could argue that that the candidate was referring to an American study about swimming, generally. But, you know what? I'm just not vested in defending those comments. So, I completely concede to...

    Racism in the workplace

    ZASHAGALKA replied to staygold's topic in General Nursing

    Not really. See, this reminds me of a local Cali town that wanted to pass an ordinance preventing loitering near ATM machines. Why? To cut down on robberies near ATM machines, of course. But to me,...

    Do you belong to a nursing association?

    ZASHAGALKA replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    For the ANA in 1965 to harken back to outdated concepts and adopt those terms -'technical' and 'professional' - was nothing more then an intentional slur, a backhand at the nurses that surpassed their...

    Do you belong to a nursing association?

    ZASHAGALKA replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    i stand corrected, that'll teach me to get my info from the ama's website. although, 250,000 out of 700,000 is more like 35%. but, still, the point is valid: 25% is 5 times (35% is 7 times) the...

    Racism in the workplace

    ZASHAGALKA replied to staygold's topic in General Nursing

    It's because the historical institutionalism and contexts of the black/white focus overshadows all others. For example, the Irish had the same problems assimilating after the potato famine sent...

    Do you belong to a nursing association?

    ZASHAGALKA replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    Did you know that there are 2.9 million RNs in the U.S. but only 150,000 members of the ANA? What kind of professional organization chooses to represent only 5% of its constituent members? Oh, it IS a...

    265 in tears

    ZASHAGALKA replied to newyorknat's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    See. Worry is a great emotion, because it raises our awareness of potential dangers. But, when you worry about things you can no longer control, it's an expensive emotion that has no result. I tell my...

    Racism in the workplace

    ZASHAGALKA replied to staygold's topic in General Nursing

    I don't exactly agree, but I haven't really discussed this topic on this thread because it has it's own thread. You are kind of cross-quoting me from the other, and older, thread. And my comments...

    Safe Harbor/ Working Under Protest

    ZASHAGALKA replied to melpn's topic in General Nursing

    Before I take 20 min and explain the details of Texas' Safe Harbor program, let me ask you: are you in Texas? I can explain how to do it in Texas, but I don't know the legal process in other states....

    Racism in the workplace

    ZASHAGALKA replied to staygold's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, I don't normally listen to Rush anymore because I'm asleep when he's on the air. I had to look up the comments you referred to BECAUSE I don't think they've been posted here:...

    I Put In My Notice!!!...Now what???

    ZASHAGALKA replied to msmel321's topic in General Nursing

    It shouldn't affect your ability to get a job at all. Constant nursing movement is a CONSEQUENCE of hospital mismanagement. They are all saavy enough to know that they have to deal with problems of...

    Didn't follow doctor's orders

    ZASHAGALKA replied to mediatix8's topic in General Nursing

    You shouldn't just walk away from low sats. But, if you disregarded the doc's input from the last call you are obligated to call him back. If he continues to disagree with you and order otherwise, you...

    Racism in the workplace

    ZASHAGALKA replied to staygold's topic in General Nursing

    From your link: "This show has the potential to set back our nation's race relations by 50 years." THAT strikes me as over the top hyperbole. Hello NYC Councilman Liu: IT'S A TV SHOW! ~faith,

    ZASHAGALKA replied to msmel321's topic in General Nursing

    I do agree with several things mentioned in this thread: 1. Ultimately you are responsible for assignments you accept. That's a fundamental notion of most BON's NPAs. Your standard of care is neither...

    What would make you happy?...employee satisfaction

    ZASHAGALKA replied to natsfanrn's topic in General Nursing

    A real place at the table where decisions are made. Not just by managers, but by the rank and file. Actually, both the ANA and the Amer Assoc of C-C nurses demand that this is a basic need: for 'end...

    Should there be a limit on trying to pass NCLEX?

    ZASHAGALKA replied to 2ndCareerRN's topic in General Nursing

    By the same token, you could say that those who haven't taken the exam yet have a vested interest in open-ended retakes, but that those that have already taken it can view it more objectively. But, I...
