1. will universal healthcare ( in the usa) cut RN pay?

   DeLySh replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in Activism

   Do you really think that any money I have (or anything else I have) is a result of luck? I worked really hard and sacrificed much so that I could be lucky. FWIW, I believe that to get "my money's worth" out of any insurance I have, that they cove...

2. will universal healthcare ( in the usa) cut RN pay?

   DeLySh replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in Activism

   This is where I have a problem. It would be nice if everyone were to contribute, but as it stands now in this country, those with families (read: only people with minor children) and lower incomes pay next to nothing in taxes (some even get more mon...

   yams, I didn't receive an email but feel free to ask here. Is there something specific you wanted to know that I haven't addressed, yet? I am still a student there, only now I'm in the graduate program. Just let me know. Good luck! DeLySh

5. Aspirate Always?

   DeLySh replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

   In school we were told that it was our preference to aspirate or not. But (here comes a dumb question I never thought to ask) what do you do if you aspirate and get blood? Do you readjust your needle or remove and use a new needle or remove and us...

6. Funniest Complaint on Press Ganey Scores

   DeLySh replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

   Ok. This is something that has confused me for a while and I've never gotten an answer. Does the other laboring woman get charged for the tray she never even laid eyes on? And if her stay is covered by her insurance company, don't they get charged...

8. Need Loma Linda University Feedback

   DeLySh replied to KOCMOHABT's topic in General Nursing

   You are very welcome. I apologize for the length but I am really passionate about the program. As for the essay, just write from the heart. That's exactly what I did. They are trying to get a feel for who you are and if you can put a sentence tog...

9. Need Loma Linda University Feedback

   DeLySh replied to KOCMOHABT's topic in General Nursing

   Aleks, I definitely feel that it was worth it!!! I already had a BA in Biology so I was able to bypass much of the bachelor's requirements as I had already completed them. I started the program in January 2005 and finished in June of 2007. I took...

10. Need Loma Linda University Feedback

    DeLySh replied to KOCMOHABT's topic in General Nursing

    I spent roughly $55,000 at Loma Linda to complete the program. I started in January of 2005 and finished in June of 2007, took a class over one of the summers and took Spring of 2006 off for personal reasons. I already had a BA in Biology when I st...

    Tazzi, I'm not exactly sure, but, it was explained to me that they are stimulants in some way. (I'm still confused.) Maybe someone else can answer that question more accurately. I never felt as though the religion was pushed on me at all. It was m...

    I just graduated on June 10th, 2007. I didn't live on campus (as many of the students didn't) and I don't subscribe to the SDA belief system (I am Catholic) but it was a fabulous program. Yeah, it was expensive but I forged such strong bonds with m...

14. CEOs outa touch, nurses to blame for not letting them know

    DeLySh replied to oramar's topic in Activism

    You know, that makes a lot of sense but is no excuse. I just don't get a CEO that won't come out of his/her office to see what is going on in the business he/she is running. Makes no sense to me. How can he/she make any informed business decisions...

    DeLySh replied to oramar's topic in Activism

    um ... ok I guess it's the teller's responsibility to make sure the bank's CEO knows, too? Why is the healthcare field sooooooooooooo different when it comes to business as compared to corporate America? DeLySh
