    guest52816 replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    I am not Elizabeth Warren, but I am a Democrat, and truly care about the lives of marginalized people in our society. You are making generalizations that may or may not be true. Do you know Senator...

    guest52816 replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    I agree. I was simply giving the behavior a label, that I have seen a lot. Suffering is suffering. There should be no contest, when it comes to abuse, racism, homophobia, etc. It certainly doesn't...

    guest52816 replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    I am not ignorant of Senator Warren. She is an elected, US Senator, who is trying to use her position within the body which she serves, to highlight a huge problem in this country. To ignore her...

    To return to the topic of the thread, the NY Times has an article about a Swedish law, that took effect in 2012, and gives PAID leave of 30 days, to a spouse, or other caregiver, of a postpartum mom....

  7. New Grad with Mixed Feelings

    guest52816 replied to nurse_bri's topic in Health, Stress Management

    As another poster stated, get used to patients not saying thank you, and behaving as though you are concierge at the Ritz-Carlton Resort and Spa. Keep in mind, nursing is just a job. Don't let it...

  9. Elizabeth Warren says doctors, nurses don't treat black women same way as other women

    guest52816 replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    The problem is, some folks on this thread, have allowed their political biases to cloud something we should all be able to agree on: Better maternal outcomes for women. I am unabashed Liberal. But...

  10. Is it like this everywhere now?

    guest52816 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, they are. The large teaching hospital in Lexington, KY hires ADNs (they hired me), but you must earn your BSN, within five years (they help pay for it). The second-largest hospital in Lexington,...

  11. Is it like this everywhere now?

    guest52816 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    Funny you bring this up. An MD, working in the VA system in KY, has been fined $5,000 and made to undergo education, as he was found to have falsified the blood pressure readings of patients. He...

    guest52816 replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    No one is calling nurses racist. And for the record, healthcare encompasses more than just nurses. The cause of the problem, is systemic racism. And systemic racism is all around

    guest52816 replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    I do not understand your response. Closing the gap, of racial disparities in healthcare only benefits DNP students? If there is a joke here, I am missing

  14. Elizabeth Warren says doctors, nurses don't treat black women same way as other women

    guest52816 replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    Elizabeth Warren did not look silly. Those who look silly, are those who criticize her remarks, without knowing the studies that prove what she is saying is true. If it matters to you, you can...

  15. Elizabeth Warren says doctors, nurses don't treat black women same way as other women

    guest52816 replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    Have you not read any of reports on racial disparities in healthcare? I was aware of the problem, long before becoming a nurse. While working as a public reporter, I produced a story about the...

  17. Elizabeth Warren says doctors, nurses don't treat black women same way as other women

    guest52816 replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

  19. New Grad on our floor continues to make mistakes

    guest52816 replied to swimmingfever00's topic in General Nursing

    Feel free to vent, anytime. That is why we are here! I think the poster who responded immediately after your original post offered great advice. Although, with eight patients, doing bedside report in...

  20. Nursing management necessary?

    guest52816 replied to Sarah2018's topic in General Nursing

    Mine doesn't do any of these thing either. Perhaps the good ones, are surrounded by so many bad managers, that nurses lose sight of their true purpose. My current manager, is useless, when it comes to...

    guest52816 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Well, well. Tonight, we were handed a time study sheet to complete. Management expects us to write down, how long it takes us to complete tasks for ALL of our patients. The explanation actually said...

  23. NPR's take on RV

    guest52816 replied to ruby_jane's topic in General Nursing

    What is wrong with reserving judgment? Clearly, none of us knows all the facts surrounding this unfortunate incident. I believe RV deserves support, and posted that I hope she is receiving mental...

  24. CEO Says More Nurses Won't Improve Care

    guest52816 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Okay. I get what you are saying. However, I would be hard pressed to find 20 at my facility, who would be willing to step out and take action. They are similar to triciaj's coworkers. Willing to allow...
