   GCTMT replied to GCTMT's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks Guys. Moog, I enjoyed reading your comments. I think you really hit the nail on the head regarding LTC's being little dictatorships. Our DON doesn't care, he says he does but many CNA's have gone to him with suggestions & concerns and no...

3. Is Nursing right for me?

   GCTMT posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm currently a CNA in a nursing home and an RN student. And I really hate my job. Management never staffs enough people, all my patients will stay there, get worse and eventually die and the job is monotonous. I feel like I work at a factory with an...

   So far, 81 house members have signed a letter urging the Senate to use reconcilliation to get this thing done. Here's hoping they exercise some courage.

5. Is healthcare a right or privilege?

   GCTMT replied to Treat et Street's topic in Activism

   I agree Tewdles. I think the system needs reform. This arguing over whether it is a right or a privilege is really irrelevant Reality is, currently health care is a commodity, just another product on the market. I've no respect for the opinion that ...

6. Major Advance for California Healthcare Reform as Senate Passes Medicare for All Legi

   GCTMT replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism

   I think you make an excellent point. It would be very difficult to regulate and I think the initial start up costs would send the state over the edge. Eventually though it would save the state a lot of money (if it's regulated properly). Also, undoub...

   Well, here's hoping the Gov. does the right thing. I'm just not as optimistic as some of you.

    GCTMT replied to GCTMT's topic in Government

    Oh yeah. I almost forgot. I've read a lot on this forum to "get it in writing". Of the info. provided about my experience with the recruiter, what would you get in writing if you were me? Does that me it just needs to be written into my contract?

12. Is it too early to start the process?

    GCTMT replied to GCTMT's topic in Government

    Thanks for both of your replies. I spoke to an AMEDD recruiter the other day and she told me I basically have two options. 1) I can join the reserves as a 70B Health Services Administrator (Officer). After one year of good grades in nursing school,...

    GCTMT posted a topic in Government

    In the spring of 2011, I will have all my prereqs finished. From there I plan to pursue a BSN via the second degree option. Will the Army pay for my education through the Army Nurse Candidate Program? Is that a hard program to qualify for? Is it true...
