2. Socialized Medicine the myths and the facts

   KBron2000 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

   I know of people who call and get information from medicare. It might take patience and sometimes more than one call, but they obtained the answers. I really don't believe the US would fashion government run health care after another country. We h...

3. Socialized Medicine the myths and the facts

   KBron2000 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

   I very much agree with you. I have not experienced socialized medicine but it only seem like common sense. I hear the arguments that the government will be dictating the care you get. I don't see that it's any different with insurance companies. ...

   RE: I know LPNs are nurses but.... The tone was a bit negative. I work with a RN who looks down on LPN's and sounds alot like what I've read here. This RN doesn't pull her weight (conveyed by most staff that work with her, even those who are not nurs...

    KBron2000 replied to agldragonRN's topic in LPN/LVN
