  4. Could Obamacare cause a shortage in nursing again

  5. New national nurses union forms

    Look what unions did to the American car industry. It's dead. High pay scale, "cadillac" health benefits, and pensions made American cars overpriced and quality lacking. Look at photos of Detroit, Michigan today for a visual if you need that. Dream ...
  6. MA's in hospitals, replacing RNs ?

    Where are you located? Maybe this is the trend to stretch dollars in healthcare. There's no such thing as free universal healthcare, something's got to give somewhere. No way will this new system be able to support the salaries nurses all want to be...

  10. The French and Dutch do health care right.

    Wait 'til you see how much the bureaucracy of government running a healthcare system eats up % of cost in administration. You are in dream land. Nurses, PT, OT, RT, MDs will have NO power. We are healthcare "workers". Government will set your limi...
  11. With one broad stroke, you condemn anyone who questions this "reform". Healthcare "reform" by politicians does not mean they care about the American in the street, either. Visit the house bill: Page 30: A government committee will decide what tr...

    Before being hired, I had to go through drug testing and disclose any medications I was taking. In that scenerio, the employer would be informed before hiring. Where it goes from there, I'm not sure.
  14. Paramedics are taking our Nursing job!

    Obama's healthcare plans call for cuts in medicare, medicaid and an "increase in productivity". If paramedics cost less than nurses, and can legally provide the same services, that would fit the President's goals. The details are *not* in the news...
  15. Talking to patients about the health care debate

    "Who the heck is putting this nonsense into peoples' heads?" You might want to be certain that this rationing is only a "myth" before you go about discrediting these fears to senior citizens in your professional position. You may want to read Sen. ...
