  1. Where can I get male only patients?

    nehneh14 replied to Firas5's topic in General Nursing

    Just as I don't believe that pharmacists should be able to refuse to sell Plan B due to religious beliefs, I don't believe health care providers should be allowed to pick and chose for whom they...

  2. Can I be discriminated against for political beliefs?

    nehneh14 replied to helloego's topic in General Nursing

    In a way it's been great to be able to throw out the trash. After reading some of the things I've read friends/family post, it's been a pleasure unfriending/unfamilying them. It has been illuminating...

  3. Asked about citizenship during triage

    nehneh14 replied to inshallamiami's topic in General Nursing

    Don't play their game.

  4. Asked about citizenship during triage

    nehneh14 replied to inshallamiami's topic in General Nursing

    We'll agree to disagree. This is not the way it has worked at any institution I have worked in in my 25 year nursing career. The uninsured are referred to the business office or client affairs and...

  5. Asked about citizenship during triage

    nehneh14 replied to inshallamiami's topic in General Nursing

    I've read where Amnesty International has been known to get involved as

  6. Asked about citizenship during triage

    nehneh14 replied to inshallamiami's topic in General Nursing

    No, not loosely related at all. A hospital staff member reported the parents to ICE. As for immigration status inquiries at hospitals, they shouldn't be asking. They ask about whether a pt. has...

    Border Patrol Arrests Near Safe Zones Worry Immigrant Advocates : NPR And no, pt's are not asked about their immigration status; they are asked about

  8. Can I be discriminated against for political beliefs?

    nehneh14 replied to helloego's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, the cognitive dissonance GOP/Libertarian nurses face must be absolutely painful!

  9. Is this legal?

    nehneh14 replied to jessimee's topic in General Nursing

    Frankly, as nurses it's our responsibility to promote vaccines and to debunk the pseudo-science, outright hysteria and fabrications of the anti-vax

  10. Asked about citizenship during triage

    nehneh14 replied to inshallamiami's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely NOT. They should not be asking this question, and this needs to be reported. There are nurses turning in patients to ICE, which is reprehensible. Administration needs to be notified, and if...

  11. Can I be discriminated against for political beliefs?

    nehneh14 replied to helloego's topic in General Nursing

    Heh. It's like the cop that's in the news right now for having a Nazi tattoo. "But that doesn't mean I'm a Nazi!!!!" How exactly does that work again????

  12. Can I be discriminated against for political beliefs?

    nehneh14 replied to helloego's topic in General Nursing

    Keep your political allegiance to yourself, especially working in health care. What the republican party has become runs counter to what most health care positions have traditionally symbolized:...

  13. Calling patients by "pet" names.

    nehneh14 replied to dbabz's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We were trained explicitly that you NEVER address a pt. with pet names. Always Mrs., Mr. or first name (with permission). Being overheard calling anyone honey, sweetie etc. was a major no-no. Aside...

  14. Baby vs no baby... help!

    nehneh14 replied to Abby_3191's topic in General Students

    Please keep in mind that babies/children make EVERY SINGLE THING harder in life. You really need to make sure you're set up financially and support wise before you ever consider having children....

  15. Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    nehneh14 replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    When cops earn back the respect they have squandered by protecting their culture of brutality, racism and murder with impunity, maybe then I'll believe they only want the best and brightest amongst...

  17. Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    nehneh14 replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is what we get for allowing our police forces across the country to function as militarized units. This is a direct result of police forces pushing back against demands for reform. They now feel...

  18. If you could redo it....would you choose nursing?

    nehneh14 replied to ICURNPA92's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely not. I've been a nurse for 25 years and have worked in many different capacities. The common thread with all of my positions has been the general lack of advocacy, value, consideration and...

  19. Is it fianally time to retire NETY?

    nehneh14 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    BBM This is a tired trope. People have been offended for millennia, and have been offended by everything, and have been telling others about it. This is nothing new. I think it's a massive...

  20. IV Push med– do you always have to pull back for blood return?

    nehneh14 replied to missjune's topic in Patient Medications

    Absolutely true. Have had to use many a patent IV through which I could not get blood. On many patients you protect that IV with your life and if there is no sign of infiltration or extravasation, you...

  21. BSN salary?

    nehneh14 replied to Kaitlyn.w's topic in General Nursing

    In WI it's about $25/hr base. No difference whether you have a BSN or ADN. Inpatient settings then have differentials. Clinics may pay lower, but I know of some that start around $25 as well. I...

  22. Communication Discrimination

    nehneh14 replied to WinterLilac's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's interesting. That was drummed into us as a big NO-NO in nursing school. I would never dream of referring to a pt. with a term of endearment. Especially a pt. older than I am. We were taught...

  23. Education Conspiracy

    nehneh14 replied to Avid reader's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I would never say that I regret having been afforded the opportunity to have a traditional 4.5 year college experience at a highly nationally ranked college which ultimately resulted in my having my...

  24. "Breast Is Best": A Mantra to Promote Infant Health? or Stigmatizing Adage to Guilt Moms

    nehneh14 replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Nursing

    I can't help you. My post is very clear. Yes, I believe anecdotal evidence, when voluminous, matters enough that it needs to be considered. The "breast is best" is overblown, especially when long term...

  25. "Breast Is Best": A Mantra to Promote Infant Health? or Stigmatizing Adage to Guilt Moms

    nehneh14 replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Nursing

    Just the fact that some posters have used the word "heartbreaking" to describe their reaction to not being able to breastfeed is illustrative of how women have been manipulated and hounded into...
