A Train Without Pity. Friction In Studio. Sex Addiction. And Down Hill From There! | Show 425
This week on Nurse Talk Casey and Dan talk to RN Jill Furillo. Jill spent several days last week with Occupy Wall Street and will give us a firsthand account of her experience and what the Occupy movement is all about. To learn about how and why nurses are taking action listen to this show and go to www.nursetalksite.com/Nov3. In the carefully chosen words of Vice President Joe Biden, “In the minds of the vast majority of the American – the middle class is being screwed.”
And author and sex addiction therapist George N. Collins is with us. What we think we know about sex addiction is …well…not particularly helpful or accurate. Mr. Collins has written a book, Breaking the Cycle, Free Yourself from Sex Addiction, Porn Obsession, and Shame and developed some techniques to help turn the energy of negative compulsions into positive life changes.
Nurses “Occupy” and Push Main Street Contract | Action in Washington November 3, 2011
Nurses provided a spark with the Main Street Contract campaign to tax Wall Street that is now catching on fire across the nation. Now, we are thrilled to see thousands more in the streets, with the heroic Occupy Wall Street campaign encamped in New York – very near where 1,000 RNs marched in June – and in Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Seattle, and numerous other cities.
As Nation Editor Katrina vanden Heuvel wrote, citing the role of nurses and NNU, in a Washington Post column headlined “Nurses Prescription for a Healthy Economy”: “If you want to know just how bad things are for those hit hardest by the Great Recession, ask a nurse: They see more young men suffering heart attacks, more anxiety in children, and more ulcers and stomach illnesses in people of all ages. Financial struggles are forcing more patients to forgo necessary medicines and treatments.”
Join our National Nurses United at their next major action in Washington November 3, concurring with a major push by international unions and supporters coinciding with the meeting of G-20 heads of state in France. Download PDF flyer.
