2. Canada's health system is as good or better than the US new research suggests

   2bNurses22 replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism

   I'd like to see proof. I took a class with 70+ students and it doesn't effect learning at all. If so, how? Look at UCSD. 200+ students yet the students learn. Btw, less teachers = better teachers getting hired. I believe though that the teacher has n...

3. Canada's health system is as good or better than the US new research suggests

   2bNurses22 replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism

   Probably because they do the same crap the U.S. does. Why isn't there more doctors there? Is it because they can't afford equipment and there's not enough doctors? Graduate more and shave off useless government jobs. Why not consolidate middle/high s...

4. Universal Healthcare

   2bNurses22 replied to Chellyse's topic in Activism

   http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=89651916 We should implement a smart card like Taiwan. Things like transplants can be provided by insurance since there's no way to increase the supply right now. Also, train more nurses and doctor...

5. Solving the Shortage

   2bNurses22 replied to 2bNurses22's topic in General Nursing

   Agreed http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/2499747.stmThey should be able to. They went to school to learn about the drugs more so than doctors.

6. How to solve the shortage of new grad jobs?

   2bNurses22 replied to BonnieSc's topic in General Nursing

   It's called the free market. If there's an excess supply, who cares. Almost every other major allows everyone to get in. For example, a physicist takes a Ph.D (5-8 years for postgrad years) to get a job. Yet at UCSD, only 1 out of the class of 32 wil...

7. Lots of new grades = decreasing salary?

   2bNurses22 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

   I see what you're saying. My point is that the raises mean you shouldn't need to negotiate higher pay if you've already worked there. Obviously, some government jobs blow, but it should have been known before working there.

8. Lots of new grades = decreasing salary?

   2bNurses22 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

   I don't know much about other government positions, but military nurses have reasonable increases in pay. No argument there. Some states are abysmal when it comes to pay.

9. How to solve the shortage of new grad jobs?

   2bNurses22 replied to BonnieSc's topic in General Nursing

   Huh? It's not that the prereqs are bad. It's just that I haven't completed them since those courses weren't a part of my other major. I can easily get the grades. Engineering students aren't dumb. It's the waiting period that sickens me. I'd love it ...

10. Lots of new grades = decreasing salary?

    2bNurses22 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen lots of places that are $20-$40 /hour. A traveler makes even more and gets free housing. Nurses also have management options and could get a masters for $70000-$160000 for 40 hours. That's pretty good. Compare that to accounting. Entry leve...

12. Lots of new grades = decreasing salary?

    2bNurses22 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    Supply and demand. Yes, if they start hiring more grads, it'll mean lower salaries and less overtime. Some jobs like lawyers and financial analysts don't go by supply and demand because the smarter the person, the more money the company will receive....

13. Paying back $100, 000 back in loans

    2bNurses22 replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    How did you get so much in debt? Did you go to a private college?

14. How to solve the shortage of new grad jobs?

    2bNurses22 replied to BonnieSc's topic in General Nursing

    How do you get wealth? Even when you make six-figures, the money over 100000 isn't in the highest bracket. Why do you think you have to put so much more money into a 401k or IRA if you're older to catch up with someone who started early? The answer, ...

    2bNurses22 replied to BonnieSc's topic in General Nursing

    Bls.gov is projecting that nursing is suppose to be an excellent job market for years to come. Look at jobs like engineering, financial analysis (virtually all require experience), actuarial jobs (again experience and tests completed) etc. There's on...
