1. Why We Should Vote No on Prop 12

   gojack posted a topic in Texas

   I think that TANHR has summed it up well below about why Texas residents (and especially all health care personnel) should oppose this Republican Party, insurance biz, and hospital/ nursing home chain sponsored legislation to outlaw your legal rights...

2. article about nursing in US News

   gojack replied to oramar's topic in Activism

   To 'get me back on board as a nurse', I want universal coverage for me and my health care co-workers. How sorry our US medical system is when many caregivers themselves lack health care coverage, along with their neighbors,family, and friends bei...

3. What solutions do you offer for stopping nurse abuse?

   gojack replied to live4today's topic in Activism

   Bullying in the work place for nurses? Why of course, management likes it like that. Management is ultimately the source of your co-workers trying to bully you, and others, too. Do nurses think that all those divisions in nursing itself ju...

4. Is this any way to retain nurses?

   gojack replied to -jt's topic in Activism

   AINZ>>>> This story illustrates my point very well. If we (nursing) rely on labor unions or nursing unions or any kind of union, it only reinforces and perpetuates the notion that we are common hourly manual labor, a line item expense tha...

   gojack replied to Talino's topic in General Nursing

   Reply to Sean... Corporate medicine is a cannibal, Sean. That's what the corporations are doing with the somewhat decent medical system what was once constructed in the US (by communities, nuns, and medical staff)................ They are now can...

6. Sickly Nurses????

   gojack replied to krispynurse's topic in General Nursing

   I'm glad you got married and now get some relief from the dangerous conditions of being a nurse. Unfortunately for me, when a male nurse gets married. it works kind of to the opposite. What? Us nurses get sick? How's that??? when we work in ...

7. Largest Health Care Fraud Case In U.s. History Settled

   gojack replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism

   If HCA is the McDonalds of US health care fraud, then surely Tenet is distinguished as the Burger King of fraud. And I vote for Kaiser Permanente as a Wendys...... oops I left out so many other deserving candidates for awards......

8. Night Shift And Cancer

   gojack replied to Talino's topic in General Nursing

   I don't know a nice way to say it, but some of these comments are truly clueless. Night is not the time to be skating on a ward until 8 in the morning without a break. It is a sign of how debased American medicine is, that corporate care mandates...

9. Is it really as good as it sounds here?

   gojack replied to Agnus's topic in Correctional

   Of course there is a 'downside' to nursing in a concentration camp. Did it in Texas for the worst 5 weeks of my life. You have to depend on a gang to protect you from another gang. Still have nightmares of all those big White rednecks on ...

10. RN's exiting from aged care postions

    gojack replied to Tookie's topic in Geriatric

    Yes, I'm getting out once again from LTC. It consistently is too dangerous to the license to stay around. And for what? When the regulations themselves are creating many of the problems..... Never has so much paper worked so well to pr...

11. Does health care in general do any good for our species?

    gojack replied to mattcastens's topic in General Nursing

    Of course healthcare does good for "our species". Bit first, you have to decide just what exactly healthcare is. And in its most basic form, it is nothing more than keeping a clean and wholesome environment for people to live in. With that bei...

12. Major venting about some CNA's

    gojack replied to michelle95's topic in General Nursing

    Not all CNAs work in hospitals. How about us licensed staff working in nursing homes? We have to "depened on" CNAs that have previous prison time and mental health issues taking care of the elderly. They are paid zit by the administration,...

13. Survey: Have you ever consulted with your facility's ethics committee about a patient

    gojack replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I reported to the ethics committee of the largest chain of psych care delivery in the US. As a result, I got blacklisted from future employment with this crew. A year later, '60 Minutes' televised an investigation of the fraud that this...

14. Angry Nurse

    gojack replied to goldilocksrn's topic in Relations

    Nobody has yet mentioned, that the family and nurse should get together and confront administration on why the hospital cannot get itself to organize delivery of water bedside to patients. Maybe family members and nurses together outside the hosp...

15. Psycho DON's

    gojack replied to gambroRN's topic in General Nursing

    Gee... it made me think again of that wierd DON that used to threaten ALL the registered staff with going to the State Board all the time. She never actually got around to stating why she was going to the State Board always with the anonymous,fut...
