    January 6 Select Committee

    Tweety replied to nursej22's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    um...the investigation that is the topic of this thread. I don't think it's a "witch hunt" or a "lynch mob". It's a worthwhile

    Yes I took notice he didn't say what they would go to jail for. Like before even if nothing is found I think there's justification for the

    January 6 Select Committee

    Tweety replied to nursej22's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Thanks At first I only saw "Dems" on Fox News and certain posters here so I didn't like it. But I think it is a mainstream term and not an insult, just sounds like one

    January 6 Select Committee

    Tweety replied to nursej22's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I hope I usually say "Trump supporter" and not "Trumper" because in a mature discussion I don't find it helpful. For a while I never really liked the word "Dems" because it's so widespread I've...

    Tweety replied to Rada's topic in General Nursing

    With the current rate of DM in the US, I'm pretty sure most schools educate in how to draw up insulin and what a unit vs. ml is. I meant that the original poster has learned the hard way to pay...

    It never happened, but makes for some interesting reading.

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

    Totally agree that the death toll is just part of the picture. This is what frustrated me in the past with people saying "we're getting excited over a virus with a low death rate". Florida's...

    Gotcha. I've read some of those covid threads here and shake my head and ask "are they really nurses"??? Nurses and doctors are the ones making headlines about the severity of covid....

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

    It is a word being thrown around and an understood professional definition would be important for people to understand. I'm not really seeing where health care professionals are saying it's...

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

    I think it's pretty much assured that it's here to stay. That it's "endemic" really can't be said because it doesn't quite meet that definition and it's not set up a predictable pattern, say like...

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

    The one thing I can take away from this is that the number of deaths is lower now than during the delta wave even though number of infections is probably three to five times higher now. Is...

    January 6 Select Committee

    Tweety replied to nursej22's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I don't think that people are blinded with Trump hate to make something up to bring him down. If there is something they want it uncovered. My guess is like before people around him might fall but...

    Insulin drips where I work are always in a critical or step down unit. However, treating hyperglycemia with insulin and dextrose can be done where I work if the patient is otherwise stable (and...

    Tweety replied to Rada's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure an education about the difference between a ml and a unit would be helpful. This was learned the hard way. Often this is how we learn on the job after school. Doubtful the OP will...

    I wasn't equating gun violence and covid and yes please let's not discuss guns. I was equating the mindset of people that don't care if your kids die from a crazed killer, certainly aren't going to...

    I can't say I disagree. I've discussed several times that I feel we are in the age of the dumbing down of America. I definitely think the Trump administration let us down in their approach, but as...

    Tweety replied to nursej22's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Good points all. I will say that the truth doesn't always unite us. But it's the eventual acceptance of the truth that gives us some semblance of closure and moving on and in some ways defines us as...

    President Biden thread

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

    Agree, it's not a concern of the average person. Myself for example, I always have Tuesday's off, am not a felon, don't use mail in or early voting, so I just go around the corner and vote. I don't...

    President Biden thread

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

    I do stand corrected then. 26% of people may say they are republicans but much more than vote Republican obviously. It's closer to 50% that identify with Republicans and vote that way. I...

    Fair point, then the poll is not an accurate poll that reflects the populace an I would call it into suspect. The rest of your post isn't something I'm going to address because I'm on the way to...

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

    I don't see what's so meaningless about "did you think Biden is divided the country" or "do you approve of the job Biden is doing". But yes, it's interesting when the polls didn't suit Trump...
