~ 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. 



No one is attacking you.  You need to chill out some.  It is not right to belittle anyone for expressing their opinion.  No one should try to bully anyone.


Redneck I is...but bigot I taint!

 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.


 


Just to re-state, well said Kitty! AS mg1021 has said on her threads for Obama as she suggested others go to a different site because they did not agree with her, the door to an Obama thread can be found....on the Obama thread, this one is titled


MC CAINS VP PICK, I enlarged it for those of us that wear reading glasses!

AbusyRN2go, Yep, mg has requested that we leave our McCain support at the door of her post. Last night I started one on the TRUTH of McCain's Health Care Plan; come on over and make a comment or two. Annie

Yeah, I just read that too.  Seems as though she is the only one allowed to post "truths about Obama."  Out of 53 current replies only a very few are not posted by her.  God forbid, someone posts a truth by factcheck.org or some other sourse such as the Governement site on Congressional votes weblink.

 Annie thanks for the invite, on my way... I have been reading all of the posting by this member mg1021 not sure if she wants to be saluted or prayed too, I have not met anyone that could walk on water and knew everything there was to know,  wow, sounds a lot like my teenagers, they think they know everything as well, I did feel the earth shift though after that last post.

Busyrn: why in the hell are you bring up the points to me? I gave up on points months ago. Long after I gave up on points it was you who started a group about being fed up with points. remeber? Now, what the hell does that have to do with bashing the young and bright nursing students on here? Then, you turn around and bash mg1020 again. I am missing something here.

 CD my reference was the point that any member has the right to bring up anything that bothers them as you did, that was my point. It was important to you at the time, and the issue we discussed was important to the member who posted HER point. And NOBODY is bashing anyone, the member you feel so strongly about defending has been very rude and condisending to MANY others. MY point was to make THAT point!  You too are so quick to cuss and become nasty, and stating I am bashing bright nursing students with an "s" is just rediculous, do you ever read what you post? Why don't we try this: let other members speak for themselves, you last time I checked were NOT mother nurselink, or did I miss something? Posting info about a candidate you love is fine, but to be rude and make nasty comments to EVERYONE who disagrees is the problem, there have been dozens of complaints and as a moderator it is MY responsibility to try and prevent that from happening, members should NOT be afraid to post for fear of being attacked by you or anyone else.

I am sorry but I feel the need to bring this up. I wont name any names but I seem to recall some posts in other threads. Those pointing fingers to others about being bullying and nasty have done a fair share of that themselves. So lets all try to remember that we are all professionals and not in grade school!  We are all better people than this. I hope that when the election is over we all return from our cave man primate mindsets and get back to being decent people.

No, they would like for us to think we are going there for voting for Obamaa. But, Hell is just the place that this site is going to in a hand basket because the moderators pick sides and pick on people. Moderators are supposed to be neutral right?

Yup, that would be rude and nasty. Do not see it as rude in ansty in the context cd used it in. I have never had anyone be as rude to me as busyrn has been I do not come on here orpost much because of her. I had some very nasty emails from her that I kept for a long time. I even posted one of them. She can not see what a mean person she is. There has been more than one new nurse and student she has tried to run off. Look at her posts to people.

 teamrn the answer to your question is nothing! But to some here not voting for O makes you the enemy! Small minded bullies but it takes all kind to make the world go around! So just ignore them.

WHOA!! I checked this site out because a few of my friends are on it and I was curious. Is this how most discussions end up? If so, then I'm not as offended that so many people didn't respond to my post on Obama/Biden regarding the 'Race Card'. I really just like hearing others opinions...regardless of political association. If all discussions break down to name calling and and angry comments that aren't related to the subject matter, I can see why CDNurse sent me an e-mail that she doesn't like to get involved in political discussions.


Think I'll stick to forums about 'Must Love Dogs'

Now to the original question. I don't have an issue with Sen. McCain picking a woman for VP...I'm just surprised about his choice. I admit that I was speculative at first about his rationale behind the choice but it's done now. There are a number of experienced and intelligent women in Public office with much more experience. And no, I don't agree with her views. For a candidate that continued to remark about his opponents inexperience, Sen. McCain truly trumped that with his choice.


I know, I know...but she isn't running for President. True...but she is a heartbeat away from that post. Skip the idea that McCain is the oldest candidate to ever run for this position, remember 9/11? Bush was talking with elementary school kids when it happened (this is not a criticism) but...VP Cheney was in the War Room calling the shots until the President was in Air Force One. Regardless of your thoughts about Cheney...if I had a choice between him and the Gov. it would definitely be him.


Anyway, that's my very boring opinion on this queston. Since I posted that last remark, I felt I owed it to Claire Kruszka to comment on her question.

Moderators can have opinions to.  Being Athiest does everyone have to have a GOD like complex, this is what makes us humans.  THE POINT is,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,


WE are not able to post anything without you putting negative connatations on it.  It gets old.... REALLY QUICK.... The re-distribution of wealth is coming quick.. Hold on to your hats and wallets. 


True story, Obama went to dinner and a homeless man laid in the doorway, he ate and paid the bill, he told the waiter he was not going to tip him, the waiter asked was the service bad?? Obama said "NO, it was excellent"  The waiter asked then why are you not leaving a tip, He said there is a man in the doorway that needs the money more than you do........ Just like his dollar to his brother.  RE-Distribution of wealth, if you have it... HIDE IT>>>>> Woo Hoo Socialism, Here we come. 


Those past posts to ABusyRN2GO are flat out rude and unwarranted.  She cannot even make a statement without y'all being trashy......  Have a great day....... GOD BLESS US ALLL

I'm very new here (like 30 minutes!) and already something is compelling me to put in my 2 cents worth! I'll admit I didn't read all 22 pages of posts so maybe someone already mentioned this. It seems to me that if people want to make informed, intellegent decisions they would do some real investigation of facts. Real investigation does not include listening to and then believing all the promises OR mudslinging that has been going on. It also doesn't involve believing everything you hear from the media, and that involves Fox News and CNN. Snopes.com is a good resource for the BS that is forwarded so freely across the internet, regardless of truth. Votesmart.org is a website where you can look up voting records of anyone in public office. It scares the hell out of me that people are so uninformed when they cast their ballot!

Welcome to our board, first of all!


LPN, even, though we don't agree politically, I agree with your premise that relying on media to "make up OUR minds" for us is a bit of laziness, sort of "I've made up my mind, don't confue me with the facts." If we get our facts from a repputable source and then WE decide what they mean for US.


I read newspapers to get facts, then look to Wikepeia and read a few other papers (both liberal and conservative. I do watch FOX, but I also balance with MSNBC; but what do  you do when the press is so obvioulsly 'in the tank' for  Baracck Obama?

Lawsy......................should I get my kneepads for the kneeling?   I will right after I get my spectacles for my meager eyes.  Watch out.............they come out in 'packs'.  Wait, what do you call a pack of vultures?  Swarm? Thats bees.  Maybe I'll just have to tithe her.  Does she take checks? 


We only have one heart, take care of it!

Here is the original posting that started all this...Note ,it does not state Obama or McCain Nurses what are your thoughts, so can we agree anyone is welcome to post regardless of their political persuasion?


ckruszka says ...



So, what are nurses thoughts on McCain picking a woman for a VP running mate? Was that a smart move or an act of desperation?

Don’t believe the pundits when they say Senator Clinton supporters will come home.


They hate what is happening to Sarah and will never forget what happened to their Hillary. Despite their understandable anger, they still have a wonderful sense of humor.



Breaking News: A Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin Shocker


It can now be reported.


Following months of investigation by intrepid Big Pink investigators in collaboration with Big Media and Big Blog busybodies the real story of what went on behind the Hillary Clinton campaign can now be told…


The shocker rocking the political world is that throughout the primary campaign Hillary Clinton was pregnant. It was only recently, after the unDemocratic convention in Denver that Hillary finally gave birth. The gestation period lasted more than 44 years.


The shocker on top of this shock is that Hillary’s baby is non other than the Governor of Alaska, now the Republican Vice Presidential nominee, Sarah Palin. We will provide photographic proof of this amazing conception as soon as kooky Big Blogs post the shocking photos…

 cdnurse and iluvnrg you two are the meanest most evil people I have ever run across, you two seem to enjoy teaming up and attacking anyone that disagrees with you and you seem to attack in pairs are you guys married? No one was attacking that little smart mouth student you want to protect SHE has been mean to many on several other threads, you seem to just enjoy causing trouble. I have not been on here in weeks  because of you two and a few others of your posse always being so nasty to others how do you call yourself a professional anyways. This thread is to discuss Mc Cains VP pick since you are clearly NOT a supporter of him, go throw mud in a different thread you 2 are not welcome here. You can begin to attack me now, I could really care less. GO MC CAIN AND PALIN!
