  1. I am not a fan of either one of the two 'reigning' Political Parties in the US either. (I used to be, but experience is the BEST teacher.) I am trying to get away from 'knee jerk' reactions when an issue is brought up for discussion. I can see that y...
  2. :typing Tencat says that "turning healthcare into a business was a mistake", and while I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment behind this remark, Woodenpug has a point, Health Care is not in the Bill of Rights. Neither was Woman's Suffrage, or the...
  3. Good points. To me Health Care Reform is about answering the question; "Is Health Care a right, or is Health Care a privilege"?
  4. Do good socks make a different? And if so... which ones???

    Your welcome. My spouse is the SAME way! Us gals gotta stick together in the "mutual appreciation society!" :wink2:
  5. Soyrizo; Thank you so, so much for the link to the article in the New Yorker "The Cost Conundrum". It is THE most interesting article I have ever read about the subject of regional differences in costs in American Health Care. I think I will read it ...
  6. They're All Liars. Are They Really?

    Burnbabybaby would be a GREAT writer if he was not just 'retelling' the events that happened to his patient. It must have been a terrifying experience! :roll:
  7. Do good socks make a different? And if so... which ones???

    Trial and error, that's the way to do it. But it is interesting that you are thinking about this. To me that shows a meticulous person, I mean, how many people even THINK about socks, before they start working, and I agree, they are important. I like...
  8. Frustrated and considering a career change

    The Army is not for you, OK. Just a suggestion, the pay checks don't bounce, and many, many people who needed a 'new start' and needed a way to get out of financial 'dire straits' have gone this route, when their back was against the wall, so to spe...
  9. Frustrated and considering a career change

    I do have a suggestion. If you ever were to consider attending a BSN program, it would be good practice to practice communicating in a clear, standard English fashion. I know that if you graduated Valedictorian, you know how to do this. I know that T...
  10. I have worked with nurses who did this, use the I Pod/Phone to pull up lab values and ect. I see that more physicians are doing this also. Seems to work for them, and it certainly impressed me! The idea about videos streams of infrequently preformed ...
  11. Frustrated and considering a career change

    Don't waste any more of your time getting a BSN the way you are feeling now. If you want to change careers, and have the family support and wherewithal to do it then do it. Keep your nursing license up to date, and keep working, if only PRN, or part ...
  12. Yes, you are getting the shaft. Just look at how much $ all your hard work is making that 'Big Corporation'. I'll bet when you bring up your issues you get thrown a bone with a little meat on it, because you are making $$ for them. Look at it like t...
  13. Nurses I hate to follow ...

    Oh come on, she probably wasn't actually dead when whoever it was was feeding her. I am not trying to vindicate the stuff that is discussed here, I have seen most of it, or a similar version myself. A lot of you nurses are going to be like me, you wo...
  14. Everest Nursing school issues

    What is a 'Daytime TV College'? What does it mean to 'push the lay person to RN in 10 shifts'? Just wondering. The poster above does have a point. There are a lot of colleges in the US that charge 40 grand a year. After I posted about the demise of t...
  15. Everest Nursing school issues

    The most knowledgeable all around nurses I ever worked with were 'Diploma' School graduates. What did nursing do in it's infinite wisdom? Get rid of most of the Diploma Schools and insisted that Nurses be trained in Colleges. This sort of silliness ...
