    Why Black History is Important in Nursing Education

    nursel56 replied to Stacy Winters's topic in General Nursing

    I just feel bad we apparently scared the author away. She tried to respond politely to the topic derailer at first-- then fatigue or disgust set in? Anyway, I read somewhere that 60% of...

    Why Black History is Important in Nursing Education

    nursel56 replied to Stacy Winters's topic in General Nursing

    That's the one! I think I remembered it for the genuine joy in their faces. So many family pictures have at least one who looks bored, po'ED, stilted,

    Why Black History is Important in Nursing Education

    nursel56 replied to Stacy Winters's topic in General Nursing

    @herring_RN @Davey Do Thank you so much for sharing these family photos. Herring, I remember you shared a picture of some of your family members some years back. They were kicking back in backyard...

    Why Black History is Important in Nursing Education

    nursel56 replied to Stacy Winters's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps: Finding New Ways to Be Kind in Nursing

    nursel56 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much for this article, especially the part about humility. I think it's a characteristic of strong people, not weak people. I'm a firm believer in the concept that I can maintain...

    Edit: Just after I hit submit I think I remember exactly who you're talking about. I did reach out to her after she'd been gone for a while, because she was so active, and then nothing. There...

    I know, Joe. I remember one particular person who used hot pink single-spaced, bolded some kind of really annoying artsy font. Then there were those who thought sky blue text would look really great...

    Former OMB director to set up Pro-Trump think tanks

    nursel56 posted a topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Trump and "think" is an oxymoron not unlike "Jumbo Shrimp". Trump's "policy" is the same knee-jerk prejudice he first embraced over 40 years ago. It isn't conservative, libertarian or liberal. It...

    Trump and Justice Dept. Lawyer Said to Have Plotted to Oust Acting Attorney General --Another Coup Attenpt

    nursel56 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    That's OK, Curious1997. My writing style is much more subdued than my offline self, and I have the battle scars to prove it with a few pro-Trump people in my family. I don't disagree with anything you...

    Trump and Justice Dept. Lawyer Said to Have Plotted to Oust Acting Attorney General --Another Coup Attenpt

    nursel56 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I'm not sure where you got the idea I don't think he should be impeached. The italicized part of my sentence signifies that I'm not arguing against this impeachment. "My only argument over this...

    nursel56 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    My only argument over this impeachment, if I were going to make one, would be that his "impeachable offenses" are really just a couple of threads in a completely corrupt fabric. He never...

    Question re: masks/lockdowns effectiveness and super spread events

    nursel56 replied to Peachpit's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I think there is leadership and there is leadership by example. I don't accept the idea that you reject the former because a few people failed on the latter. But then again I make the same...

    Just wondering if anyone thinks that there's a mental illness component involved?

    nursel56 replied to guest1163268's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I have a few Trump supporters and self-identified Republicans in my family. It's causing a great deal of strife on facebook where I refuse to discuss politics. Hate to see my child and my brother so...

    nursel56 replied to oldie's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. And as I am probably older than oldie, I can say I think it's gotten way worse over the years. oldie-- I think blood sugars can be delegated to CNAs in California, so that any problem...

    Maybe it is about taking away guns

    nursel56 replied to Beerman's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    But the point was to have means to fight back against tyranny. When the amendment was added, there was a certain parity, certainly with firearms, and having just checked briefly, it turns out a...

    nursel56 replied to Beerman's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Well, you did use a pretty provocative thread title to describe that letter, which looks to have been for internal consumption (one group of congresspeople to another group of congresspeople) rather...

    All the best to you, @Ilg. As I mentioned to Davey a while back, I'm taking the gradual approach. I've drastically scaled back my accumulated possessions and moved to smaller digs. I had no idea how...
