  1. I do think we have differing definitions of "demonizing the oil industry". There was widespread support for us halting buying Russian oil. But where to go from there is perhaps where things...
  2. I think the TOS asks us to link articles and not quote the entire article in a post. I think when you first said that health care officials were leaving in droves, perhaps then would have been...
  3. As I predicted the oil ban will go into effect. But as McConnell said "what took you so long". I think Europe is in a bad position as a whopping 50% of their energy comes from Russia. Russia...
  4. https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/23/health/public-health-officials-quit/index.html I guess you can say health care officials are leaving in "droves" if 250 people if the total number of health care...

    President Biden thread

  7. When I was a tech in nursing school at the VA there was a patient that had a massive stroke, on tube feeding in a vegetative state, being cared for by the wife at home. He was admitted with pneumonia...
  8. I agree. If we were in a time of widespread infection and crisis perhaps I would feel differently. Here in Florida where we only report once a week on Friday, in our state of 20 million there...
  9. Again with the spinning. I never said anything about what Florida's policies are based on. But I'm done with you. Thanks for the discussion
  10. No. But taking good care of my patients means a good deal of stress so sometimes I just need to talk about it. It may seem it's all we think about but this is a nursing forum and it's skewed...
  11. The relationship with Saudi Arabia has long been a tricky and some hypocritical one. There's no denying with their trillion dollar oil fields they are better friend than foe. We've profited greatly...

    RNs Replacing Registered Respiratory Therapists?

    My first job as a tech 30 years ago the RNs were giving breathing treatments. Where I work now we can't even give a puffer, much less a breathing treatment. I think passing these medications...
  13. Here's the poll I mentioned above.
  14. Yeah it's interesting that we believe the press we trust even if they are the only one's reporting something but will attack a press we don't trust when they are the only one's saying it. Human...
  15. I think the pressure is just too great on him not to ban Russian oil. Any consequences that Republicans try to pin on him later he can point out that it was their idea too and he was hesitant. But I...
  16. At this point perhaps you're right since Biden withdrew his push for mandates for large employers when the Supreme Court shut him down. I'm not sure where people are mandated to be vaccinated since I...
  17. What is the definition to you "in
  18. True enough. I guess not working in covid or education I'm a bit out of the loop. I certainly don't want to minimize the threats and actual violence people have undergone. While I certainly...
  19. What kinds of threats was she receiving? Threats to her life? That's an outlier. But yes, it's ugly out there. It all comes down again to the idea that no matter what network they are watching...
  20. Sorry about not being clear. My posting about NYC was after I made this point "I think as covid rages on and becomes a part of our lives support for vaccinate mandates are going to dissipate and...
  21. I think that's a subjective view for the WaPo to say "many" when describing the crowd. But don't blame them for including them in the article. I think it is a habit of the press to describe the...
  22. I didn't pay it much attention but I think it was spurred by an expiration of some exemption and that unvaccinated drivers were required to quarantine for two weeks after crossing back into Canada....

    Good morning! Joe sounds like you had a good Sunday. Davey, enjoy your time in the art room. I looked over some of my posts yesterday and found so many mistakes and typos. Maybe I...

    One More Week Until I Leave Bedside…Forever

    I missed the patient contact, missed my coworkers, found it boring, and didn't like sitting behind a desk all day. It was a good thing to learn about myself. Sometimes in the stress of things,...
  25. I disagree. Fox is covering Putin and Russia in a very negative fashion as well as covering the atrocities they are committing. They are clearly pro-Ukraine. Of course they are sometiems using it...
