  1. How has Obamacare affected you and your employer?

    Here are some facts for you about the healthcare system in the US when compared to other nations. Now I have to go take care of sick people, so I am out.... http://www.independent.co.uk/incoming/article9542817.ece/alternates/w1024/Davis_Mirror_2014_...
  2. How has Obamacare affected you and your employer?

    As as it is 2:37 AM, here is the short version... You did not use care in reading my statement. I buy my insurance through the ACA marketplace exchange. I am not covered under an employer plan. I had no coverage until this year when the ACA became...
  3. How has Obamacare affected you and your employer?

    I will respond, in part... a) due to the anonymous nature of this message board, and your desire for facts to back up some statements, I feel the only facts you would accept are those that unmask the annonimity of the poster by identifying the hospit...
  4. How has Obamacare affected you and your employer?

    The ACA has been a dream in my state. More nursing opportunities, more people seeking medical care when they need it (instead of when an emergency takes place), more compliance with medications (no pill splitting and/or sharing with others because o...
  5. New nurse ,ltc

    What do you mean by working on your own? Do you mean you are going to be working a shift at this LTC facility and no one has shown you the job duties, or do you mean you are leaving the LTC facility and going into private duty nursing? Are you RN o...
  6. With a death in the immediate family, most schools will allow you to make up clinical days. I am so sorry for your loss. ((hugs))
  7. What can you tell me about C. diff, thank you!

    I have an old top loader W/D set in my garage--all scrubs, BF's work clothes, and shop towels go into these machines. The nice front loading set is in the house and they only see scrubs for the first wash off the rack. Neurosis, keeping us all heal...
  8. Nurse, Madonna, and waitress??

    I can sing (like Carol Channing)! And play drums (like a chimpanzee on crack)! Can I be in the band (noise makers in white)?
  9. Has being a nurse changed your outlook on...

    I have a young 'locked-in' ALS with vent, g-tube, colostomy, cath, no communication methods, no narcs, no anti-anxiolytics, still on FULL CODE! (left all decisions up to spouse who can't let go) This is my worst nightmare. All mental faculties inta...
  10. What can you tell me about C. diff, thank you!

    Don't forget to scrub those shoes, too! I make it a habit--no matter what care environment I may be in--to always take off my shoes in the parking garage/lot and bag them before getting into my car. I don't want hitch hikers tracked through my ho...
  11. Opportunity in Oncology for a Survivor?

    Not exactly the job for which I applied (they went with another person), but something a little different! Because of the potential for severe psychological implications, I am going to do new patient intake twice a week--standard and focused assessm...
  12. 4.0 in nursing school?

    I have been the neurotic overachiever my entire life. I had an incredibly strict upbringing, was not allowed to make mistakes without severe punishment, and my free choices (like shaving the sides of my head to make a mohawk) were met with abuse. ...
  13. 4.0 in nursing school?

    Late to the conversation here, and I will admit I haven't read every response (on my phone so it's difficult). I am a neurotic over-achiever, and I finished school 2nd in my class of over 100. That said, I had to bust my butt to get those grades, dev...
  14. Do you have a job? If you have to work and go to nursing school (full time, full schedule of classes), don't expect 10 hours a week of free time to devote to martial arts. I went to school full time, and did not have a job so I could concentrate all...
  15. Malpractice Insurance

    This is my carrier, and you are correct. It is around $100 a year.
