Yes. Some real bad stuff was about to drop so he needed an extra-large distraction Wonder how long Trump can continue his apparent pattern of declaring emergencies so he can play out his dictator fantasies for however long it takes for the courts to stop him.

It seems like a straightforward question-- I would have thought so too. The problems often relate to the state where you intend to be employed, scope of practice considerations. and a fair amount of argument from professional associations pro and con related to supervision and patient safety. It gets pretty heated at times based on the discussions we've had here. I've read many posts regarding the "you can't work below your license". I don't know whether that's true or not. Last time I looked into that topic they basically stated that you can be legally employed to perform duties which would be considered within the scope of your license to practice, depending on whether you relinquished your license or it's on "inactive" status (you still pay fees) Having worked in clinics for years with licensed nurses and MAs I absolutely respect the skills in their roles, which while within the nurse scope of practice aren't typically included in nursing programs. In small clinics you're likely to encounter many "learn on the job" procedures. I found that I enjoyed learning how to do allergy testing for example. Anyway, I hope this gives you a place to start. All the best.

His nutty reply there I'm pretty sure he made up on the spot. I'll wager he's not going to do anything except to continue to spin his fantasies as other autocrats have done but without a large scale model of the proposed monument to himself. You would think this might evince the slightest skepticism from those who are hearing his narcissistic nonsense unspool yet again. Maria Shriver's post was spot-on. None of the lawsuit threats became lawsuits They were convinced they would lose most likely.

Would that be considered unusual behavior for a prosecutor? If you look into the Iran-Contra scandal and what Lawrence Walsh and his associates were doing in pursuit of Reagan officials and in quite a number of the Watergate related proceedings you will see the same thing. Cassidy Hutchinson related a similar feeling of pressure when she was being represented free-of-charge by someone in the Trump orbit.

Aye aye Cap'n Grumpy! The streamlining of the procedure is much appreciated! ??

Yes, I'm still logged in computer and out of android phone. I'll just keep it that way for now. Looking on the bright side of life, at least (whispering) Joe V. has not gone the mandatory 2-step verification route when the site (not allnurses) itself is not all that bulletproof. Yes, I get cranky when I look for my password, having hid it from myself or coded it or something, am unable to find it, finally give up and reset the password, and now you want to send a code to my phone? arrggghhh

Hi Hippiemama! First, congrats on the birth of your fourth baby! I faced a similar situation with a much longer "mommy track" but financial woes made a job mandatory at the time, so I took a deep breath and jumped in the water. I had kept my license on inactive status (meaning in my state you continue to pay fees but don't need to take the NCLEX-PN over again, just the CE requirements) While that simplified things my knowledge base was so out of date I was overwhelmed. My textbooks were in a box in the attic I think. What ended up working for me was to just start filling out applications and doing interviews. Even a job you think is a no-go can be the one where you just click with the staff and they're willing to help get you up to speed. Instead of trying to relearn everything (unless you need to take the entire licensing exam again), I did very targeted online research relating to each specific interview. While I ended up in private duty for vent patients due to the more flexible schedule, I had a job offer on the front burner at a nearby cancer hospital as well. Lastly, I needed to be honest with myself about my family support system in terms of meshing the non-negotiable realities of being a parent and each job or unit you are considering. It can be tempting to downplay that if everything else about the job seems positive. All the best!

Hi lavachicken! I'm not a school nurse, but I have experience in pediatrics. First, I think it would be a good idea to shadow the nurse at your son's school if you can. There are a group of school nurses posting pretty regularly Their complaints usually involve clashes with adults = teachers, parents and administrators rather than the children. A while back the admins started a project in which allnurses members would write articles about their particular specialty for people who are considering whether or not it would be a good fit for them. A good place to start... School Nursing: Everything You Need to Know

Where is the told you so part? He's talking about what he would do if he were a defense attorney and this was a trial. Obviously her free-wheeling conjecture would be ripped apart if he was in the role of Trump's defense attorney.

Of course we should know the answers to those questions, because people have been alarmed over the delayed public disclosure of very serious conditions kept under wraps while that person was still in office, and the American people deserve to know if the person they elected has a mental or physical impairment that could affect the performance of the duties of that office. There seemed to be a consensus on that policy, probably because it was the best choice for the governance of the country as a whole. Trump isn't concerned about that. Trump is concerned about Trump. He's surrounded by concentric rings of loyalists and sycophants including many in the media, who frankly don't seem to think his behavior is all that bad. They continue to do things like put Stephen Miller on TV when they know ahead of time exactly what he's going to say. Stonewalling and spouting one absurd lie after another is what he will continue to do, because it works for him.

I just saw this trending as well. I've been checking in infrequently, too. I still get email notices for long-running threads, which is why I saw your post. I always read posts from you and some of the other very crusties replying here. A few weeks ago I realized I crossed the 20 year membership mark last June (eek).... I wasn't sure if I should stop posting or write a retrospective which would absolutely be about people, not the practical or procedural aspects of this career, although that is what brought me here in the first place. I'm still fuming that during one of the overhauls they deleted all my "likes". Anyway, all the best to you, Emergent!

I agree, fairly generic terminology and accuracy, maybe check facility policy -- with changes for specific patient as needed...not seeing the problem. In the age of Grammarly especially (kidding somewhat). Checklists and flowchart documentation replaced lots of laborious printing. Yay!

People magazine is usually pretty straightforward imo, even though it's an anonymous person describing the incident. I wouldn't mind having Dr. Oz around if myself or others crumpled to the ground. But I thought he proved there's a real doctor inside the TV doctor. Insider Explains Where RFK Jr. Was Really Going When He Ran Away from Fainting Man in Viral Oval Office Clip (Exclusive)

I love how they seemed not able to commit to the obvious in the title, especially with that photo they used. I'll go way out on a limb and say that, yep-- his eyes are definitely closed! Images of Trump appearing to close his eyes during Oval Office event spread across social media

That's because "they" didn't ask Trump to do the right thing. You might not have noticed I was clearly talking about one person. This would be pure speculation on my part, but I doubt Trump is taking calls from Michael Cohen these days, as I believe he was the first guy to testify in front of Congress with specifics of Trump's unethical and criminal behavior.

Michael Cohen (and others )didn't get a pardon from Biden, but he thinks maybe his request was denied because Biden was impaired, so he's asking Donald Trump to do the right thing. Maybe Trump will review the record, and decide Michael Cohen deserves the pardon so unjustly denied him by Joe Biden. File under "you couldn't make this s--- up if you tried." https://thehill.com/opinion/criminal-justice/5325492-with-new-questions-about-his-acuity-bidens-pardon-choices-should-be-revisited/

I don't know about fun, but it's definitely funny that Trump world now considers a card-carrying member of the left coast Hollywood elite a diagnostician on par with Alois Alzheimer himself. Why? Biden didn't seem to recognize him, and what's worse, Yeah.

As a matter of fact, she did not say the authors are absolving themselves of responsibility. She said: That is 100% true. They want to say it, but they don't want to be fact-checked or called out on it. Cowardice at its's worst. I find it peculiar that anyone would imply unnamed anonymous sources are more trustworthy than a family member.

Well, I'm sorry you feel my comment was peculiar, but I was quite certain the person I was replying to would understand the reference, since I've only seen or heard one person use the phrase in recent times, and that was Naomi Biden. Perhaps we are seeking news and current events in altogether different places. This is her entire statement. I do think the definition of "smut" encompasses more categories than just fairies having sex, although the last person I heard actually say the word in general conversation was my grandmother, and she passed away in 1969.

The reason I directed my question to another member is that had I just thrown the question to the group in general, there would be a high probability of getting a comment like this. I know you believe, without a scintilla of doubt that Joe Biden is completely incapacitated by dementia, and was unable to perform any of his duties as Chief Executive. Nevertheless, it's apparent to me that: You did not carefully read my post, specifically to the timing and reasoning of both the trying to pinpoint the exact moment abnormal cells began to proliferate, (no matter what any particular doctor says on television), and when they decided to share that diagnosis with the public. I can't answer your question about believing "any of it". Any of what? I understand that Trump supporters have attempted to connect the aggressive prostate cancer with their evidence free, unschooled diagnoses of "dementia" and "dementia cover-up". The cover-up claim was necessary to explain why nobody, not his MAGA enemies, not Putin, not the suddenly enlightened reporters people who's only job it is to report on the Biden White House. sounded the alarm until the last few months of his term that there is no captain on the bridge! The "fairy smut" term was coined by his granddaughter Naomi Biden, but his family is part of the cover-up, right? The entire Biden family just doesn't care enough about our country to tell the truth.

I'm having trouble following this story. All of this fuss about trying to nail down the exact day, month or year his cancer started. Is it based on the premise that Biden knew of his cancer diagnosis years ago, but decided not to tell anyone, let it spread to his bones, without seeking treatment (cancer cover-up!) in order to add credence to dementia cover-up claims made in a fairy smut book written several years in the future?

That article certainly picked some pretty frumpy looking outfits for the Press Secretary, RitzyCinnamonRoll, although I usually see her standing behind the podium. Now with Sarah Huckabee-- I remain at a total loss. Yes, it's sort of frumpy, but one day she shows up in a farmer girl calico mini-dress and knee-high leather boots, and another day a horrifying cross between a mu-mu and a granny dress emblazoned with enormous plums (I think?) I know first ladies are held to a different standard, but now I know how much Hillary Clinton hated the suit jacket and skirt. I totally relate to that. I see nothing inappropriate about her pantsuits. Bottom line I guess would be you don't want people talking about your outfit to the point they aren't listening to what you're saying.

never mind/ lengthy rant removed

That's what I didn't understand either. I assumed that for some reason, as he said "many people have called and written to complain. In fact, they are actually angry about it!" Meaning he only saw the portrait after people complained. By the way, I don't agree that Obama's portrait looked wonderful. Here's the one she painted of George W. Bush. He looks OK. I think the artist makes the cheeks look too puffed out, seems quite noticeable on Trump's portrait. I just don't think it was deliberate.

The video in this tweet does shed some light on the situation. Below the link is an excerpt from that video. https://x.com/Sjacobs2020/status/1903972854020059400 I believe what happened is that once again, the space went unnoticed for some time, even when the portrait was finally put in place. When it was noticed, the outrage torch was lit, and the result was his lengthy Truth Social tirade and attack on Jared Polis, who was elected after the imbroglio. Kevin Grantham was Republican president of the Colorado senate, but he left in 2019 when John Hickenlooper was governor. .
