"That Black Nurse......Uncut"

Registered Black Nursepodcasters.spotify.com
We are not intimidating! Incompetent! Can't get along with our peers, patients and family! Statements such as "FEELING unsafe around Black Nurses,"is a bigoted atrocity against us that's been tolerated far too long! The Black nurses are threatened BY White bosses and coworkers NOT towards them. We must remember that the higher ranking positions aren't diverse. Silence is a learned behavior amongst Blacks and a survival skill that needs unlearning. NOW, let's talk about that BS. DISCLAIMER: you will be offended and that means it applies to you. I will not be held liable for your bigotry.

Death...Comes like a thief in the night.

Dealing with death as a lay person who later became a nurse was hard and different because I wasnt use to comforting "strangers." I found myself crying and comforting the patient's family members although the patient may still be alive and well. Pain is pain when losing or even celebrating the loss. These two deaths were sudden and one had took a hold on my heart 20+ yrs ago! Come on in and listen to another page of my crazy career!

The Judge asked, "Nurse, Mam, why didn't you say no?"

This story I heard right after nursing school that taught me to 1) You have the right to protect your license and the lives you care for by saying, "No, I won't do it." 2) Keep malpractice insurance no matter what because no one cares for your license and livelihood except you? 3) At the end of the day as in the beginning of your shift. Only you as the Nurse are the boss until the day your license are taken. 4) The company you work for is just that and have every right to fire you at any time be...

HR is not your friend! They are small time paralegals for your company.

This is a common belief of most people on their jobs. It is not so nurses. They gather information and takes it to your boss and guess what happens next? I'll happily tell you that same ease on down the road MJ sings about and Dorothy traveling the yellow brick road while meeting all kinds of clowns. At the end of that road they simply were wanting to find a way home. Well, if you look like me then HR and your boss or bosses may very well help you get there! Ohhhh here they come! Watch out they ...

"Black Nurses have Depression, too!"

Yes, Black Nurses can be resilient! Yes, we can do more than one thing at a time because we have to! At the end of the day. We are women and men that have feelings, too. We don't usually have an outlet because of "We must be strong!" We are Black ladies and gentlemen and we should not show weaknesses! Bullshit!

"You are the Smartest, Stupid, RN Graduate!" "Suppositories don't go there!"

I admit as a new grad I too, was an asshole! However, I wasn't that arrogant and if I was I wasn't a dummy! Nasty attitudes come a dime a dozen because I can BE a bigger than life, attitude and run you over! This bitch though was just an dumbass undeniably. Go on and listen to this Validictorian with a BSN ya'll. This is a, "I can do this at home," procedure. Dumbass! Because of little Miss Elise, no longer do I precept!

"Remain positive at all times because he was the CEO!"

Ms. Elsey once again was operating outside the laws of equality called her big wig friend in the hospital. Little did she know that I talked to him often at work and at lunch, but "I never knew he was the CEO!"

TUBI said a big fat, "NO! due to"Out of necessity, policy, unrecognized agent and SUBJECT MATTER."

Once again Black Nurses concerns or "Subject Matters" stated by a TUBI REPRESENTATIVE of some kind are of no concern. TUBI validated this by saying,"This WILL NOT be forwarded to any employee with TUBI." My goodness! That"BLACK"Nurse will only say thank you for stating and giving even more validity of just how important my SUBJECT MATTER actually is for Black Nurses.! Devaluing us has got to be stop! If you are with me press the subscribe button and let the movement begin towards peace, validati...

THAT"BLACK"NURSE

A Black nurse is constantly said we are hostile, aggravated or aggravating! We walk on eggshells and overcompensate when there aren't reasons to do so. We hurt each other as well. We must stand up for ourselves at all times and form an alliance vs. being enemies. Thank you for your much needed support because most Black Nurses can and will be fired for this. Send me your stories to thatblacknurse@gmail.com!
