1. I Feel Like An Oddball

   treddrn replied to TrudyRN's topic in General Nursing

   treddrn replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

10. Learning thread (ER medicine)

    treddrn replied to TraumaInTheSlot's topic in Emergency

15. Medicaid. Is it being abused?

    treddrn replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

    I just hope that people will realize that the average family in America is about 2-3 paychecks away from being homeless. How many checks, if you lost your job, will it take for you to qualify for Medicaid. For most, 1 month. I believe there is a l...
