@OP’s response when senator walsh comes into the ER needing his assistance

If I can just pee once in the first 8 hours of my shift, it's a fuckin miracle, but yet I ask my patient10 times a shift if she has gone

Honestly, even if they were playing cards, they're paid to be on hand when shit goes crazy.
LanceD85
I’d love to be the nurse who treats her next inevitable heart attack. Or blunt-force trauma. Whichever comes first.
CanadianWhatever
If she is a good nurse, she will treat her like every other patient.
imcurrentlyatabar
But the nurse can be snarky as hell while doing so. And “miss” a few extra times when putting in IV / drawing blood.
This was my thought too. Give the same standard of care but make sure she’s miserable the entire time.
miados
Lets assume he is right they get more breaks then normal. I would assume the days they get no breaks due to chaos make up for it.

When the senator starts to flatline one day, the nurses will remember.

or hospice care nurses. i hear habenero powder in the depends is mighty unpleasant =D
Ronburdandysbrother
Whats a break?
badClementine
There are seriously days when the only time I get to sit, is when I pee, that is if I'm lucky enough to get to pee. Once. During 12hr shift

Nurse friend of mine has been celebrating landing a post where she no longer has to work nights, ever again. Apparently the worst because
they're the least staffed shift, but you don't necessarily have less shit to do. And the daytimes can be pressured enough as it is.
If there was a pack of cards on the ward it would only get broken out if there was a protracted power cut meaning all the ICU patients died.
upcountrycare
God. Was it only a year ago?
DetectiveSloth
The bill she was arguing against passed by the way.
ArchAzazel
She wasn’t arguing against it. She added an amendment that would give an exemption to hospitals with 25 beds or less. Which also passed.
Westmore8
She was against the bill initially and tried to amend it because it was going to pass.
LSUguy
Is she lobbied by certain groups to have these ideas or is she just plain stupid on her own?
Bad214
Apply this to, oh, FIREMEN/WOMEN! Don’t really care too much what they do on break, just during my heart attack!
JupitersWitch
Another Democrat. Does Montana just breed idiots or what?
CaptainSpazzo
She’s a republican. She said something stupid but her amendment was a smart addition. Why is everyone becoming so damn reactionary?
Idontlikeolives
Because it's easier to jump and bandwagon and bash a politician than it is to actually research anything.
The Senator Walsh I know is a dude. Not a stellar guy and had his degree revoked. Incorrectly attributed her comment to him.
CaffeineManic
Nobody in the room jumped up and shouted "Bullshit!" When she made that statements. Are they ALL ignorant?
LivingDecomposition
They're just required to treat anyone speaking with respect and not speak out of turn. Even if they're a dipshit

sometimes when i hear something so ridiculous i actually freeze, it's like my brain short circuits from the dumb lol

Senate parliamentary rules in WA say you can't talk unless recognized by the president, specifically to prevent that sort of thing.
sieg443130
RULES!!? The President doesn’t give a damn about the rule of law, why should we. The only thing he cares about is making himself richer
Not THAT President, not that Washington, you walnut. Try to keep up, here.
President of the Washington Senate. They don't just phone President Trump every time they want to speak on the floor.
macturlock
Yes I’m afraid they are
Bukkhockey
In context, it was simply a comparison of rural nurses to metro nurses.
And she was proposing to make working conditions worse for nurses in rural hospitals because nurses already don't like those hospitals.
Yes, she was claiming the mandate might effect patient care at rural hospitals. Context matters and everyone is ignoring the facts.

To be honest, I think the Reagan administration was where a lot of this came from. The twisting of what fiscal responsibility means.

ReticentCalifornianTigress
Coming from a republican family, I get it. They love to trigger fear to control people's feelings, always point the finger at someone else

Republicans don't want to spend money, or at least claim they don't, and offer incentives for private sector work in the form of tax cuts

We've moved away from those up top representing the majority, now both sides represent fringe minorities.
Thanks, Primary voters.

What makes this statement a partisan issue? People are just stupid, Republican or Democrat.

It takes a lot of stupidity to blatantly ignore objective scientific facts like climate change
Yea but this post isn't about global warming... it's not about politics at all. A stupid person said a stupid thing

The issue isnt Republican or Democrat, it is money in politics. With the exception of very few, their “opinions” are all bought and paid for
GaySocialistLiberalMuslimCommieAtheist
If you actually think that, you have not played attention to who pays who. And who says what. Democrats got payed too to vote against 1/2
Net neutrality, none voted against it. But please tell me it's both sides without any proof more. It just shows how out of touch you are.2/2
As of last October, only 17 dem senators were on board with universal healthcare. The remaining ones received a total of $36mil from health-
Care lobbyists. That can’t be a coincidence that they wouldn’t jump on that legislation considering the money they received
N0ticeablyFAT
I want to say it's a new thing, but the pessimist in me thinks that they're just newly emboldened to say the quiet part loud.
BenKrauter
It started about a decade ago with the surge of the tea party. Imagine if anti-vaxxers took over the Democratic party.
NotWelcomehere
That's.....not a terrible way to look at it...
gfrhino42
It started when Fox News went on air. Old people and dumbasses eat it up. And no, I don't watch MSNBC either. Try to use common sense people
ThatIsMyPassword
Both. There's always been elements of this, but decades of propaganda and infrastructure building expanded it to where we are.
LordBaneoftheSith
I honestly think I would be if i didn't have to be a bigoted climate change denier to be okay with most of who they've got in office.
Other than those staples, what of their platform interests you?
tj764
if i may politely retort, most Republicans i know dont deni climate change is happening, they just disagree with what to do about it.
Then vote for people who do the same. They are lying to save face in my experience. Since most I know used to say it's all fake.
for instance i am in favor of investing into nuclear fission, carbon scrubbers, and giveing a tax break for eliminating your green house gas
emissions. that way we have more companies invested in working on a solution, than a bloated government agency that will sit on their hands
and soak up a pay check. like every other government agency. I just find the best way to change a party is from within not throw a punch
Notme68
The modern Republican Party started when Nixon lost to Kennedy. Every Republican presidential term makes it worse. Nixon, Reagan, Bush W.,1
Trump. We - the rich need to have all your money, then make more money for us to have. We need to run everything - trust us. 2
Then the Democrats make everything worse by never having any agreed to plan - nor the spine to carry it out if they did.
Callistan
Unfortunately one of the major double-edged swords Democrats face is that they are more willing to compromise than Republicans, and the 1/2
net result is that Republicans have been able to drag the country further right (generally) in terms of policy over the decades 2/2

She. And she was making a comparison of rural nurses compared to metro nurses and how they have different work loads
Rubberducky2010
But they don't, not really. They are held to the same nursing ratio as metros... less patients just mean less nurses. In fact (continued)
Fewer patients likely means even fewer employees. Less techs/CNA's to share work loads with that larger metro hospitals have resources for.
Possibly. Rural areas also pay less so you could have 2 or 3 rural nurses for the cost of 1 metro nurse. 1/
