Kittyrn says ...



What a disrespectful thing to say about your brother and the troops "Brainwashed".  Half this country is brainwashed by the liberal media.  The troops, an all volunteer military service are serving this country and laying their life on the line.  They know what is going on, because a lot of them have actually been there.  Your brother's service to his country is what gives you the right to sit on your chair and spout that he is brainwashed.  But, having said that, your brother knows if Obama gets in, that we are putting this country at GRAVE risk.  Hell, even Joe Biden, an expert on international affairs agrees with that.



 


LISTEN....DONT YOU EVER TELL ME I AM DISRESPECTFUL TO MY BROTHER OR ANY OTHER SERVICEMEN!!!!!!!!  YOU DO NOT KNOW ME AND YOU DO NOT KNOW MY FAMILY!!!!  I was nice to you the last time you got all sensitive about on eof my posts but you don't talk shit about my relationship with my brother and expect not to hear from me!


I have nearly raised my brother myself......I have spent hours upon hours listening and talking with him to offer support and guidance regarding the awful things he has endured and been disappointed by over there.  I have spent thousands upon thousands of dollars sending care packages to him and his fellow marines.  As he has continued with his military career, he has been enlightened thank you very much!


Nothing I said was disrespectful.....you need to check yourself because as you will see if you return to my posting I said "might"!!!!!  In other words, another perspective/opinion besides your own that may account for the stats you referenced.  I'm not brainwashed by the liberal media.....and I don't find anything wrong with being liberal.....that is your perspective.  If anyone is disrespectful here it is you my friend.  I did not attack you....you attacked me.  Now, are you proud of yourself!!!!!  Anyone who has ever accused me of being pissy just because someone doesn't agree with my ideas should really examine what has just happened RIGHT HERE!!!!!


My brother will come home safely and one day he will be emotionally and psychologically healed of what he has endured for a war that had nothing to do with salvaging our freedom and saving us from terrorists.  You need to open your eyes!!!!  Bin Ladin was not from Iraq.  This is old news......you and everyone here knows that we were lead to this war on false pretenses.  Even the Republicans and conservatives were outraged by this.  WAKE UP!!!!! 



Mg, don't let her bother you!! It has been my experience that the most rude and disfensive people are those who are Republican. They really, really believe that if you do not agree with them then you are wrong, and they will go to any lengths to make you believe that.You are not allowed to have your opinion, no you must have theirs. Just remember that your views here are supported, you are not alone. The Republicians are behind in the election and are FREAKING out. I am a Independent, but it is people like her that make you shut down to listening to anything they have to say. It is why I can't listen to John McCain. He started this negative crap, and I just turn off, can't stand it, tells me only that he is losing and panicing. I am for Obama and I have already voted and proud of it. My father was in the Navy before this so called expert was out of diapers, and according to "HIM" the military does attempt to brainwash you, so remember once you are brainwashed you do not realize that you have been. My husband too was in the Navy and he also agrees, so I guess it just depends on whether or not you were brainwashed whether you agree with that or not.


For her to concern herself with your profile just shows you that she has little to do with her time. I can not believe that she would write such crap on here and tell you to take it off. You leave it on!!!!!! She probably doesn't have a BSN and is jealous that one day you will.

LOL, I'm a democrat.  I recognize that McCain is a superior candidate.  Our profile is not a wish list, otherwise I could put on anything I wanted as long as I'm going to school for it, it should reflect what our status is, not what we want to be in four years.   I'm not an expert, but Joe Biden is, and he is telling you what is going to happen.

Hi five to ya JUDLEERN,


Thanks for coming to my defense.  I can see right through all this crapola.  It's called PHULOSHITE!!!!!!   LOL!!!!  I am rolling on the floor laughing right now!  I kindly sent this woman a couple of links regarding military brainwashing (from the military personnell perspective) to enlighten her as to the existence of multiple views.  She did not like!  Seems you are on to something my friend.


You will like this one JUDLEERN.....

Well, there you have it, my profile in black and white as it has always been and will stay until school ends next Dec..  It says STUDENT.  Apparently someone doesn't know how the creation of the profile works.......you only have degree options for the "service" line.  In other words.......what degree do you have OR what degree are you working towards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   LMAO!!!!!  What a joke.


Oh, and JUDLEERN, I will be joining the ranks of fine nurses such as yourself in Dec 09......just a little over a year.  That's right.....accelerated program baby.  No four years for me.....just 15 months!  Seems somebody has a problem with making assumptions. 


We should go somewhere more civil and entertaining than this JUDLEERN.......I'll see ya around!  


PS....I informed my professors of nursinglink.....they are Obama fans too!  Awe.....sorry to disapoint.

Sorry, but you are still not an RN.  You do not have to select a 'service option'.  It should be left blank.  You are not an RN, until you graduate and pass boards.

leave her alone.  Nowhere has she said that she is anything other than a student. You do have to select an option. She is going for her RN and she selected student. She has more than once in her posts IDd herself as a student. Give it a break.

You just crack me up sometimes, totally off the subject... i mean this with the warmest regards, I just found it cute. I personally do not put all my information out there, but I have learned from experience that even you name in the phone book can bring you problems.

I think McCains pick for VP may have been a little of both.  I think by choosing Palin he has swayed some of those who were Hillary supporters & hey she (Palin) can't be all bad since she like McCain is 1) in favor of drilling, 2) a pistol packing momma, 3) supports our troops, 4) believes in hard work, 5) is seemingly a devoted mom (ok maybe McCain isnt a devoted mom).    Considering how Obama doesn't even respect our country enough to show respect by covering his heart & facing the flag, I have tremendous doubt that he will respect anything else about our country...MY COUNTRY!   Though I may not be in agreement with all of the McCain-Palin plan, I am certain that they will get my vote.  McCain-Palin all the way!!!!

Wow, I've never called anyone of you any names.  So, you need to rethink your statements.  If you say you have an RN/BSN and you are a nursing student, it means you are going for a masters degree.  IT's that simple.  She is not an RN and should not carry that on her profile.  She intends to be an RN, and we all know that is a long road to haul.  Call me all the names you want, I haven't called any of you names.  You can only claim to be an RN if you are one.

I just can't understand why you guys are picking on each other for trivial little things. Aren't we all older than that? Please grow up so we can have a good healthy debate here! This site isn't about picking on each other!

Kitty, you are right, people should left that part blank if your a student...........maybe they need to have 'explicit directions for those who need it' and you are no bully.         JUDLEERN................you're not a bully either ;  your like the  bully's side kick.   I still cant figure out why you bunch are in here just pick at conservative beliefs.  Wait..........you didn't have any new fights going on in the Obama threads so had to hang out here.  You must have been bored, alot of us conservatives were either at work or church this am!  Toodles and have a great night.

Thanks Nursjenny for putting things into perspective. This is one of the ways nurses eat t heir young and it's unnecessary. We've also drifed FAAAAAAAR off topic. Let's start a new one or stop picking on each other.

 I must chime in  here for a minute- this site is for all of us to participate in and at times discussions get heated, we should all remember that one day soon this election will be over and we are ALL be stuck with one or the other candidate. In the end we are all either professionals or in school to become one, we should act accordingly and remember that we have freedom of speech BECAUSE of our families and friends in the Military fighting for our right to say the mean and nasty things that are said to others in this very site. Get a grip guys do not take things so seriously, and do not always resort to being nasty, hopefully we will ALL vote for whomever we want and that will be that, the next day the planet will go on.


As for our registration on Nurse link it is unclear for many who sign up when they post there "service" your service should be what you are doing NOW for service, if you are not an RN yet, your service should be blank, then you state student. But it is not clear for so many who have registered and really NOT that big a deal although it does appear to be another annoyance to some, the site is not perfect, but hey what is??

Well said. "Freedom isn't free" and if we don't or are unable to serve for one reason or another, I feel that we owe it to the people who DO to have civil discussions on these boards. Hey, with civil discussions, we may make a few friends out of the deal! What a concept, cdnurse and a bunch of others on this board and I are friends and clearly we have different politics.

According to your bio you are a nursing student. In your rebuttal to a previous post you made a judgement on a "nurse" for her beliefs which apparently you do not agree with. I am a R.N., conservative, Christian and yes, a registered Republican who does not make over $50,000 a year. The main reason I had to reply to your remarks that came across as angry, judgemental with language that indicates a need to study vocabulary to learn more accurate words especially if you are studying to be a nurse. I am not trying to belittle you. It is that I want you to succeed and become a nurse who represents a person who puts the patient first even when they may be unpleasant and unthankful for your assistance to help him/her to recover  from illness or trauma, etc.  And as nurses we can not talk about our personal lives or oppinions as they may offend the patient and or family. You will learn all this when you are in nursing school. Or you may want to reconsider if nursing is the right "fit" for you.


Respectfully,


Raydelle

 ray, maybe I blinked and missed it, but who are you referring too? I have been an RN 30 years now, teamrn is also a current RN, so I am not sure who you were addressing, maybe you could make a reference to who you are addressing because it sounds like you were thinking of someone inparticular, if it was a general statement, then I still do not get it sorry. PS I agree with your post just not sure who it was too.

There is NO blank option on the service. Leave the kid alone. She is an RN student. What is the big deal here? I see many who have NP under serivce and they are not NPs. The profile page set up is not so user friendly. Give it up. Again, she has always said she is a student. She is one of the brightest students on here. Brighter than many of the "educated" ones on here. Just look at her posts. We need her in nursing. Do not run her off.

 cd, I do not think she really needs another mother or protector, but I do not think ANYONE was trying to run her off, we have MANY bright nurses and nursing students on this site, it is NOT clear when you register and many place service saying they are RN BSN when they are still in school, it is misleading and does seem to be an annoyance to some, you MUST still remember the BIG deal you made about the points and how they annoyed YOU! You did NOT hold back on your dozens and dozens of comments about the points, here we have another minor annoyance that was brought up by another member and her words about this is JUST as important as your concerns were to you. My comment was an attempt to clarify and answer a concern by another, not to start a fight with you.


Now let us go one about this thread being Mc Cains VP pick...

~ I have not misrepresented myself


~ The functionality of the inner workings within the profile options have been discussed ad nauseum


~ I have not attempted to practice the profession of nursing and therefore have not committed a crime to justify an analysis of my profile


~ My profile includes more than one area where my status as a student can most clearly be identified if one so chooses to see


~ I am not changing anything on my profile


~ The profile options work just fine.  There is an option for a specific level of nursing ie. (service) and an option for present activity within 


    that realm ie (status).  I am a nursing student working toward the RN-BSN


As far as I am concerned, this discussion is over.  This has lasted far too long already, and it is unimaginable to me that any of you do not have other more important ways to spend your time.  I will share with you some excellent examples.



  • Volunteer at your local homeless shelter

  • Put together a care package for the many men and women serving in in Iraq and Afghanistan

  • Become a "Big Sister" for children's foundation in your area

  • Spend some time with the multitude of very lonely seniors living in your area

That should be plenty!


Really, this subject is over.....carry on with something more meaningful to prevent you from looking so petty.

 mg101, I do not think anyone or at least I did not accuse you of misrepresenting anything, the point was made it is confusing for many when they register and misleading, you spent a lot of time hear going on about nothing, nobody is attacking you, but you certainly can get yourself into a tizzy very quickly. People are free to discuss anything they want to on this site and YOU do not decide by your proclamation that ANY discussion is or is not over, that is up to any one of our members to decide if they care to comment or not, you need to calm down. As a moderator on this site I spend hours reading posts and gathering comments of others to try and improve our site here, the profile issue has been brought up many times before. EVERYONES comments are important on this site. It is not your job to accuse anyone of being petty, everyone has a right to there feelings and to express there feelings. You need to leave your bully hat at the door.

Mg< I agree wth you. This discussion was abotu John McCain's VP pick of Sarah Palin; now we're talking of people representing or misrepresenting  themselves as as RN ow whatever. Le's leave credentials alone. That's a nasty one.  Having a discussion about that under a  separate heading  could work; if it's a CIVIL one.
