Michigan not on board yet!-----Minnesota's shortage of trained ICU nurses shows why we should join the national Nurse Licensure Compact - American Experiment

Minnesota's shortage of trained ICU nurses shows why we should join the national Nurse Licensure Compact - American Experiment

• A SHORTAGE OF ICU NURSES RATHER THAN OF ICU BEDS

Recently, I wrote about the alleged shortage of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) beds in Minnesota.

...Indeed, it might be the case that it isn’t a shortage of facilities that is the problem but a shortage of people qualified to staff them. 

...This illustrates why Gov. Walz was correct to sign an order allowing healthcare workers licensed in other states to work in Minnesota, something we had previously called on him to do.

The Minnesota Hospital Association has long called for our state to join the national Nurse Licensure Compact. 

As the Minnesota Board of Nursing describes it:

The Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) allows a nurse (RN and LPN/VN) to have one compact license in the nurse’s primary state of residence (the home state) with authority to practice in person or via telehealth in other compact states (remote states). The nurse must follow the nurse practice act of each state. The mission of the Nurse Licensure Compact is: The Nurse Licensure Compact advances public protection and access to care through the mutual recognition of one state-based license that is enforced locally and recognized nationally. 

Currently 34 states are members of the compact.

Membership would improve our situation regarding qualified ICU nurses.

...The Minnesota Nurses Association opposes joining the scheme but, like any union, it exists primarily to look after the interests of its members, not those of the general public...

Column: Politics as religion after George Floyd. This isn’t an Orwellian novel. This is your country. - Chicago Tribune
"What are you really seeing as Americans kneel, hands raised in secular prayer, repeating political creeds on the TV news?
And that secular foot-washing?
You’re witness to neo-Marxist appropriation of Christian symbolism, in the aftermath of the horrifying Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd.
And now, the priests of the secularist left separate the biblical sheep from the goats on the basis of skin color.
...But in the current political universe, whites must atone for the sins of white racism even if they’re not racists, even if their families arrived here only yesterday.
And even the mere suggestion this might be unfair, the slightest hint of resistance, can trigger accusations that could ruin careers, deny entrance to the professions, and drive nuance from the public square.
And it is all by design...

Republican AGs come out in force against defunding police | Fox News:

But a number of Republican attorneys general say that cutting funding to police departments would only increase crime and not solve the issue of reforming law enforcement agencies. At least a dozen GOP AGs have spoken out against the push.
"Will the same liberals who want to 'defund the police' also be willing give up their security details?" Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton tweeted.

"...The Nasdaq Composite, which is dominated by big technology companies like Apple, Amazon Microsoft and Facebook, “briefly topped the 10000 milestone for the first time Tuesday,” The Wall Street Journal reported June 9. 
...ABC's World News Tonight, the CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt ignored this milestone.

...Such dynamic news in the markets would seem to be worth reporting on, especially in an economic environment inundated with bad news. 
But if the news doesn’t fit the liberal media narrative, crickets.

THE UNTOLD STORY

Because White People Are Bad-Steve Sailer 

Facebook

"The single most relevant fact for understanding America right now is the one you are least supposed to mention: Blacks are vastly more homicidal than any other racial or ethnic group.

Nobody seems to know this when thinking about the reality behind our ongoing Largely Peaceful Riots, although, oddly, the same folks seem to know it when thinking about where to buy real estate or listening to rap.

...For example, in the latter decades of the 20th century it became increasingly verboten to publicly acknowledge the lower average intelligence and higher average homicide rate of African-Americans.

This was not because the scientists who painstakingly documented these massively important facts about American society were proven wrong. Instead, they won the extensive arguments in the academic literature.

No, it was precisely because the evidence for the validity of these behavioral disparities was so overwhelming that it was driven out of public discussion. It was felt that mentioning the social science would be bad for the self-esteem of blacks. (By the way, another little-known social-science finding is that blacks don’t actually have a deficiency of self-esteem. Of course, you might have already surmised that from listening to hip-hop…just as you might also have guessed from the same musical genre that they do have a problem with shooting each other too much.)

“The bill for starting from dishonest premises is now coming due.”

Over the years, this artificial ignorance caused much incompetence and waste in public policy (for instance, the Bush-Kennedy No Child Left Behind act of 2002, which, hilariously, legally mandated that by 2014 all public school students must test above average).

On the other hand, people were seldom persecuted for acting in their private lives as if they were less than true believers. White parents bought homes in “safe” neighborhoods with “good” schools without feeling too much pressure to agonize over what exactly they meant by these euphemisms.

But what goes unsaid eventually becomes unthinkable.

As the years go by, there are fewer and fewer people in the press who can actually remember how the implementation of anti-racist theories about law enforcement in the 1960s and 1970s destroyed America’s cities, turning even Manhattan from the setting for Breakfast at Tiffany’s in 1961 to the backdrop for Taxi Driver in 1976...

UCLA professor suspended, under police protection after threats | Fox News
"A California college professor reportedly is being investigated for discrimination and under police protection after refusing a request to exempt black students from final exams in the wake of George Floyd's death.
The University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) suspended Gordon Klein, an accounting professor in the Anderson School of Business where he's been teaching for 39 years, for three weeks beginning on June 25 after he declined a student's request to delay a final exam in light of Floyd's death, the Free Beacon reports.
Anderson School of Management Dean Antonio Bernardo sent an email to students on Monday calling Klein's behavior "troubling" and reportedly extended the time students have to complete exams given the "difficult circumstances."
...At least 20,000 people signed a petition calling for Klein's removal after a student who wasn't in the class posted the email exchange on social media.
...Klein asked how he would be able to identify the black students given that the class is online and noted that the teacher's assistant is from Minneapolis.
“One last thing strikes me: Remember that MLK famously said that people should not be evaluated based on the ‘color of their skin,’" Klein added.
"Do you think that your request would run afoul of MLK’s admonition?”...

WARNING: The Real Power and Purpose Behind the ‘Black Lives Matter’ Movement – Black Community News

WARNING: The Real Power and Purpose Behind the ‘Black Lives Matter’ Movement – Black Community News--Pastor Stephen E.
"Whatever legitimacy the “Black Lives Matters” (BLM) movement may have is lost in its funding from one George Soros. 
Mr. Soros is the major financial source responsible for funding the leftist movement in America.
These left-wing groups supported by Soros have one thing in common: to transform America.
Groups like ACORN and Occupy Wall Street are a disruptive influence in our culture and seek to divide and transform our society into a Marxist design. 
Linked to this disruptive scheme is Black Lives Matters through Soros support and funds.
George Soros’s funding of the BLM movement is part of an integration into a tapestry of organizations used to disrupt and weaken our society to engineer a socialistic transformation.
...a focused strategy by the Communist party to use the black community and the poor as a battering ram against “the system” for the purpose of fundamentally changing America into a leftist utopia.
Their successful efforts in infiltrating the civil rights movement and other legitimate struggles for justice has been well-documented by many historians and scholars recording the history of the civil rights movement in America.
There is an example of how this co-optation has played out in recent history that demonstrates how the left uses black and poor communities to advance their agenda...

"Multiple problems plagued voters as they went to the polls yesterday in Georgia's primary, from hours-long lines, technical disasters and absentee ballots that never arrived,
They're another ominous sign for states and the general election officials trying to run a safe and trustworthy elections this year, though Georgia's issues were known for some time and are more unique.
In fact, the problems in Georgia were especially galling because the seeds of the failure were evident for months to technologists — since long before the novel coronavirus pandemic arrived and multiplied the obstacles facing election officials.

"COLD WAR II: Decades of Lax Oversight Allow Chinese Telecoms to Conduct Espionage in U.S.

Multiple Chinese telecom firms have operated in the United States with “little-to-no oversight” from government agencies for the past 20 years, the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations disclosed on Tuesday in a new report. These companies are permitted near-total penetration of American communications networks and have used this access to collect data on millions of Americans, including military members and those working in sensitive government posts.

Only in the past year has the federal government begun to take a closer look at these firms, including China Telecom Americas, China Unicom Americas, and ComNet—all Communist Party-owned firms that have been operating with impunity since the early 2000s. The Senate’s yearlong investigation concluded that the Federal Communications Commission failed to perform proper oversight on these companies, allowing them to collect data on scores of Americans. With the Chinese government exerting total control over these companies, it is likely these data are being used for nefarious purposes, the report warns.
