    Medicaid. Is it being abused?

    Multicollinearity replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

    Well, I can actually agree with a few points here. I live within a couple hours of the border so this is not a debate point but matters of daily life here. I do agree that illegal immigration is a...

    Medicaid. Is it being abused?

    Multicollinearity replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

    Well, I have on occasion been 'invited' to leave the country if certain matters don't suit my liberal heart. So I have a similar suggestion. If someone truly cannot bear living in a country that...

    Medicaid. Is it being abused?

    Multicollinearity replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

    This is an example of lack of bounderies. First demonstrated by rebuffing the request for nicotine patches. (Free for you! Not for me! Cheaper than your cigs!) Then, a lack of boundaries with...

    Medicaid. Is it being abused?

    Multicollinearity replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

    Well, your story seems to have changed. In your first post you boasted that after you told her the patch is cheaper than her cigs she didn't ask again. I'll leave this topic

    Medicaid. Is it being abused?

    Multicollinearity replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

    By your own words she asked you twice, and after your response she didn't ask again. Why would she think she might get the Rx then? Also, you have every right to think she should have a copay. But...

    Medicaid. Is it being abused?

    Multicollinearity replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

    You applied your values to a medical decision today by rebuffing this woman's request for a script for the patches. Your reasoning was "free for her, not for me" rather than a strictly medical reason....

    lost my baby

    Multicollinearity replied to K205's topic in General Nursing

    You know what you would say to a friend who's going thru what you are going thru now? I'd think about that and take that advice. It's amazing how kind/loving/gentle we can be to others and deny/reduce...

    I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you will take gentle care of yourself. You know,

    Medicaid. Is it being abused?

    Multicollinearity replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

    I do think part of this is a scavenger mentality. I think it is derived from the stress of the health care costs. I know for example I have gone to the ER *very sick* to wait 8 hours (I understand...

    Hooow did you get through SPEECH class????

    Multicollinearity replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I really think the key (at least for me, and probably some others) is to not let the anticipatory anxiety get going. It is sooooooooo hard to not think about delivering the speech. If I indulge in...

    Hooow did you get through SPEECH class????

    Multicollinearity replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't taken a speech class. I am quite 'stage shy' like many have described. I do know that when I gave the prayer at my high school graduation in front of hundreds of people the most amazing...

    Medicaid. Is it being abused?

    Multicollinearity replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

    I sense from many of the posts here, that the anger is really about how much those on private insurance have to pay, rather than any actual Medicaid fraud. These are of course separate issues. If this...

    Un-necessary classes

    Multicollinearity replied to jschut's topic in LPN to RN

    That makes sense. Here I am mouthing off about classes that should be required, and they are in the nursing program already.

    Un-necessary classes

    Multicollinearity replied to jschut's topic in LPN to RN

    I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but what about classes that you think should be required but aren't? I'm surprised by looking at the courses in all the ADN programs in my state. It seems to...

    You're going to Community College?

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel the need to handle my emotional reaction to their pomposity. It's hurtful, and when we encounter hurtful people we need a strategy to not get hurt. I've just figured with the wonderful people...

    I have worn U of -- t-shirts for years. You know, supposedly I'm a loser for not attending this U now, according to a few relatives. I bought the t-shirts because I've been a basketball fan. You...

    You're going to Community College?

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Isn't this all just so sad? Education is precious, where ever you get it from. All I personally care about is that the school is accredited and it has my approval. I understand some don't even make...

    Gov't will pay back student loans????

    Multicollinearity replied to dreamBIG's topic in General Nursing

    Also, if you qualify to get Perkins loans, do it! Perkins loans are cancelled if you work as a nurse. I don't have a link to the specific conditions, how much is cancelled etc. I'm sure some time...

    You're going to Community College?

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good point. Since I got upset about this enough to post a thread, it shows that I'm a bit insecure. I don't like that. They can be pompous themselves. I'm thinking of that Eleanor Roosevelt...

    You're going to Community College?

    You know what this boils down to for me? It's my pet peeve, people who cannot understand those who are different than themselves. Or those who cannot understand those in different situations than...

    Thank you Jess, you are so sweet. Frankly, I like the CC set up. I like it that they have tutoring. I like it that I can pace myself with 5 week long classes, one at a time, and do 9-12 credits per...

    Multicollinearity replied to grad2009's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am sorry you are having such a hard time. I would move heaven and Earth to get into therapy. Seeing a psychiatrist for medication check ups and quick talking is not what I mean. I mean, 1 hour...

    Losing money being a nurse

    Multicollinearity replied to moonshadeau's topic in General Nursing

    Over half of the employees at my local Starbucks are former manager-executive types who were laid off in 2001. They chat with the customers who sit there, some who have been laid off also. They are...
