Nurse Your Way Back to Jesus

As a former Corrections Nurse, I will not remain silent on the issue going on in New York State right now. Corrections Officers are taken for granted. They are forced to work 8 extra hours on an almost daily basis. *Imagine going in for a 16 hour overnight shift from 3pm to 7am and then at about 6:30am when you are "finally almost done" you are ordered to stay until 3pm the next day - for a total of a 24 hour shift that you hadn't planned on. *Imagine being the only person assigned to a cell block for your entire shift, sometimes without a break because you are short staffed. *Imagine knowing that the prisoners are accused but not yet convicted of murder, and you have no idea if they might have a shiv/shank in their cell/room that could be used on you at any given moment. *Imagine knowing that when the nurses come on the unit with another officer to give out medication, you then feel responsible for their lives, too and would never forgive yourself if you fail to keep th...

I’m sure I’ll get hate for this, but it’s the truth. I didn’t judge others for making their own personal choice, but they sure as heck judged ME and anyone who didn’t agree with them. I’m honestly starting to get more and more frustrated being four years out from when people had to choose between their jobs and the sh0t…. Saying that you “were forced” to get it truly isn’t accurate. We all had a choice. I’m a nurse. I’m also a single mom of two. I left my career to stand up for what I believe in. I’m not judging you for making the choice that you felt was best for you and your family based on information you had at the time… Even though many of YOU judged people like me for “not complying”. You possibly even called me a conspiracy theorist and told me that if I didn’t get it, I shouldn’t be a nurse anyway. But I AM saying that as a mental health nurse, I know the difference between holding someone down and forcing them to take an injection and giving them a choice with an ultimatum or...

💥I’m not a fan of Biden But I can acknowledge that what happened to him at the end of his term was a complete disregard for his human dignity when he had actual cognitive issues and it made me sad just to see him getting made fun of by MAGA and put on display by his own wife. 💥I’m not a fan of Zelenskyy But I can acknowledge that making fun of someone from another country in a room full of men laughing and then being berated in front of the whole world is absolutely disrespectful and is bullying at if’s worst. Vance and Trump could absolutely have been kinder and still stern. You don’t humiliate another world leader whose country is at war while trying to make a deal. 💥I’m not a fan of Trump But I can acknowledge that no matter how you FEEL about HIM, it needs to be put aside when his guests are parents of a girl who was brutally murdered and a little boy with cancer. Those who didn’t stand or clap out of respect last night should be ASHAMED of themselves. I am absolutely disgusted ...

Unpopular opinion: You don’t always have to “pick a side”. Being against one thing doesn’t mean you’re automatically in full agreement with the other thing. We can acknowledge that Trump and Vance went overboard to “show their control” or “puff up their chests” at Zelensky without actually being FOR Zelensky. It’s called basic human decency and Trump doesn’t have it. He spreads hateful speech, just like people do towards him. This doesn’t mean I “support” what Zelensky has done. Did I think Zelensky’s “disrespect” warranted the DEGREE of condemnation that he received from Trump and Vance? No… I think it was a show - Trump wanted the world to watch him “own” Zelensky. It’s what narcissists DO. AND YES I voted for Trump because it was like playing Russian Roulette with him versus Kamala (pun intended). I voted based on my Catholic beliefs and the commandments and POLICY, but that does not make it okay for him to treat other humans like shit. I am very disappointed in humanity these ...

First, to everyone accusing me of not watching the full almost hour video before posting about my opinions, you obviously don’t know me very well. I absolutely watched it all before weighing in. This is another comment I made under my other post. Let me be clear. I am not saying I agree with with Zelensky. I am saying this was a “how are we going to react to his comments and actions” situation? There are ways to put someone firmly in their place while not risking losing the trust of other foreign countries. Putin now has an upper hand. I agree with those who have said that Zelensky was definitely trying to push his limits and see what he could get. Absolutely. I also think that we planned to stop helping them with money either way, yes. AND that he definitely needed to dial it back acting like we somehow HAVE to help or owe him something, etc. But I would have also not just ASSUMED that what he said was a threat - I would have tried to clarify some things with conversation and stil...

This was originally just posted as  a comment under one of my Facebook posts. Welcoming some friendly “debates” and opinons. If anyone name calls each other or is rude to one another I will remove the comments - I don’t care if you're a troll or a friend. I actually want to understand how people watched this and heard and saw the same thing but perceived such a different interaction. I took it as Zelensky AGREEING with Trump who was insulting our efforts. Trump kept saying Biden did this, Biden did that - which I obviously agree with. But it seemed like things were “okay” and then Zelensky asked one question they didn’t like, then they just completely freaked out at him. And then Zelensky asked them if they’d ever been to Ukraine in order to be able to talk about what is going on there and JD stumbled over his words saying UH yeah i watched things…. WHAT??? That is literally the SAME THING “the right” had been attacking Kamala and Biden for. I get it - America first, but if someo...
