   KayMichelle replied to aa24212's topic in LPN-RN

   I am trying the LVN to BS RN program with Indiana State University/College Network. I have prerequisites to 'challenge', like Anatomy/Physiology and the others that I didn't complete when in college like World Religions and Algebra. After completing ...

   I thought someone mentioned a fail rate. What is the fail rate? Does anyone know?

3. my thoughts on preparing for nclex

   KayMichelle replied to LAW79's topic in NCLEX

   What helped me was little things I remembered from lectures, like Ace inhibitors s/e is a cough. And we did jeopardy often, and the little details from that helped too. When I came home and looked up some of the questions, I couldn't find it in ...

   KayMichelle replied to LAW79's topic in NCLEX

   I took the test today, and this is exactly how I thought the questions went: I kept thinking, "What?!" Who cares what the color of the tie is!!! My stopped at 85. And I wonder if mathmatically it is possible for me to have failed. I know that I got ...

5. Universal Health Care... what would this mean...

   KayMichelle replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism

   Yes, this discussion is truly going no where. There are two completely different issues getting confused here. The topic is "universal health care" but people keep referring to 'denying care' The question is whether or not it should be publicly ...

   KayMichelle replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism

   Goodness no, I thought we were talking about whether or not to promote universal health care! As far as the "demand" goes, I was speaking in the context of the rape of virgins in Africa, and yes, I think NGOs surely should demand certain risk...

   should the cost for the care for these things come out of the pockets of those who have no choice? backed up by the power of the police state? police state......:uhoh21: these issues are true conundrums. they need to be discussed without such emotion...

8. Universal Health Care... what would this mean...

   KayMichelle replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism

   I agree that there should be SOME things that are slowly added to a list of care that is basically socialized. There are some deeply divided issues that cannot be resolved, as I mentioned earlier, so we should just start with the primary care, p...

9. Universal Health Care... what would this mean...

   KayMichelle replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism

   Wow. Again, I thought we were discussing the merits of univeral health care. I didn't think we were discussing the option of denying anyone medical care. That doesn't actually exist here in the United States. You can go to any emergency care unit ...

    KayMichelle replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism

    Zippy, in post #208 is who called these patients "victims". My goodness! How we have become emotional over this issue! I thought this was an academic/intellectual debate about universal heathcare. First of all, I didn't mean at all to point a...

11. Universal Health Care... what would this mean...

    KayMichelle replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism

    How absurd, of course I don't think these people "don't deserve healthcare". I just don't think that the government should use their police powers to force Peter to pay for Paul's bad choices. You are jumping from conclusion to conclusion. No one has...

    Diabetes Mellitus II patients are not victims. They could have it under control with diet and exercise at an early stage. If someone refuses to comply with diet and exercise regime, then they will get worse, but they are not a victim of anything exce...

    KayMichelle replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism

    Unfortunately, when we realistically look at the situation, it is drugs, alcohol, unrestrained sexual habits, and cigarette usage that causes 70% of the healthcare problems today. Why should the 30% healthy, those who choose to live a life of clean a...

14. Universal Health Care... what would this mean...

    KayMichelle replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism

    There is no such thing as "free". Unless of course, you are a volunteer nurse, drugs cost nothing, and there is no need for research and development. This is the big problem with universal healthcare. It is not "universal". As you say, cancer drugs ...

15. Universal Health Care... what would this mean...

    KayMichelle replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism

    The example of how universal healthcare would be beneficial is unsound. The poster used the example of diabetes, stating that if a person had healthcare he/she would use it before becoming very sick (ie getting renal failure, amputations, etc.) and t...
