1. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

   cec0007 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   If you think there will ever be a $34 trillion reduction in spending, you must live on a different planet than I do. The current Medicare system for those over 65 is a huge drain and goes in the hole. There is no way we can extend Medicare to every...

2. Career Crossroads

   cec0007 replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

   It sounds like you may not have many options after all. We do what we have to do, and it almost always works out. The PRN job would have been easier on you and your family (assuming hubby was okay with it), but if you have to work 5 days a week it's...

3. Do you have to work as a CNA before going to nursing school?

   cec0007 replied to Marie_30's topic in General Nursing

   This^.

4. Nurses that “only do it for the money”

   cec0007 replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

   I only read through page 2, but I've always thought of nursing in a similar way to teaching and a few other professions. (Not that the pay is the same, nor should it be.) Money is a significant factor for almost everyone when they are choosing a ca...

5. Looking for advice: I don't like my salary

   cec0007 replied to EternalFeather's topic in General Nursing

   Nursing is not the only profession in which that is common. I understand your frustration, but at this point the best thing for you to do right now is, when you've had time to settle down from the news, think what will benefit you most overall in t...

6. Robot tells man he'll be dead in hours

   cec0007 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   I agree the "robot" moniker was unnecessary and was click bait. I do have a problem with the way it was handled, however. Had the doctor telecommunicated only with the family, with news they were prepared for, I'd not have a problem with it. Howeve...

7. Are We Too PC?

   cec0007 replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

   Are we too PC? YES. Many good posts already made!

8. Understanding the Risk of Firearms: Suicide vs. Homicide

   cec0007 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

   All of akulahawkRN's post is excellent, but I'd especially like to quote this part of it: This is the crux; the problem is not the gun, and there is no reason to try to take guns away from those who are doing nothing illegal with them. That is not ...

9. Understanding the Risk of Firearms: Suicide vs. Homicide

   cec0007 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

   This is a lengthy post, but gun violence (and gun control) are such currently hot topics that I want to give a perspective of a staunch Second Amendment supporter. I'm also a little old lady who is a retired elementary school teacher (second career)...

10. When you thought it was patients you needed to watch...

    cec0007 replied to smf0903's topic in General Nursing

    "...or...Jerkish behavior"?? Doesn't need to be doing his job any more?? He needs to be in PRISON for aggravated assault at a minimum. I, too, am baffled by the passes given to him.

11. "Hallway admissions" at overcrowded ED, and professional risks of RNs talking to press

    cec0007 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Many years ago I worked at the only hospital in our county. A few times our occupancy would get so high that patients were admitted to what were normally waiting rooms, hospital floor hall areas (screened off), large storage areas, etc. To their cr...

12. Loud Cartoons for Elderly Patients

    cec0007 replied to NurseSince2014's topic in General Nursing

    This showed up under my "Hot" tab, so I'm replying even though the most recent post was about a week and a half ago. I have had close family members and still have a few friends' family members who have had either temporary or long-term stays in LTC...

13. "Guidelines" for Sending Students to Office

    cec0007 replied to Rizowe's topic in School

    OP, as a former teacher I do understand your dilemma, and I have no doubt that a few teachers may go overboard. A minor scraped knee or paper cut can be "doctored" fairly quickly in the classroom. A brief nosebleed requiring just a couple of tissues...

14. Sexual harrassment or just an old creep?

    cec0007 replied to CBlover's topic in General Nursing

    I've had time to read only the first three or so pages, but I agree with the posts that advise you speak more clearly to him and let him know his attentions have become excessive and inappropriate. Mention your husband and family, and then stop talk...

15. Do you use the title "Dr."?

    cec0007 replied to DreameRN's topic in CRNA

    Not all professions use the title. Attorneys have their JD degrees, and none seem to use the title "Dr." My daughter is an attorney, and she said that it's just customary that members of the bar do not use the title, even though they've all earned ...
