  1. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    Test it on a microscopic scale. Instead of trying to roll it out in a national level. Test your theory of "healthcare for all" using a city, a county, or even a state. See if it can work without a) state residents moving out b) the state asking for...
  2. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    So finally we agree on that one topic: The main point that I am trying to make..is that I'm not "against" a health care plan for all. I am "against" (using the current system) a plan that no doubt will raise my (ours, the middle class, upper class, w...
  3. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    hmm, wouldn't non participating clinicians, already be in the category of being in the system "that is just paid for by people who feel like paying for it?"
  4. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    I do agree with the housing costs rise being a driving force. But you're not mentioning the $100,000 tax break that "expats" get. ? Did you know that?
  5. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    Oh, so it's the United State's fault that Venezuela is in the state it's in right now?
  6. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    Your logic exists in: the "richest" country in the world cannot take care of its citizens? You see. There is the "taking care" that we (our side) have a tad problem with. It all comes to the connotative meaning. On our side, we believe in establishin...
  7. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    Note. Our nation's (or a geographical area): income tax payers vs non payers ratio. And relate that to your gleaming European nation's example. There is a tad thing with revenue vs expenditure. You work. You should understand how that works. Debt is ...
  8. Denver Weatherman Loses Job over Twitter Remarks about Nurses:

    So, my assumption was correct. "Straight out from a horror movie." Glad that you have survived that place of hell (for the employees). I can't imagine how the residents are doing there.
  9. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    Name that place in Europe, that has the population, income, and tax payer vs non tax payer "diversity" as our nation (even a state).
  10. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    I think it didn't work because you can't force people to buy something, or to penalize them because they didn't buy that thing.
  11. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    Isn't it funny? How people claiming this or that..at the end of the day, propose a solution that basically states: "it's my way or the highway." A simple example would be: A Private insurance company that can't get enough revenue: will go out of busi...
  12. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    Somewhere along the line, people started thinking that a single system that replaces (forces) everything away will remain all noble and pure. Just like a Thesis someone starts to type up. It's just that..in the real world, it just doesn't happen that...
  13. I hate fake call outs.

    I am a nurse. On my off days, I make sure that I am getting plenty of rest, because I am a nurse and my duties at the floor requires my full attention. So when I have to come in during my "off days" so that one of you who mysteriously calls out sick ...
  14. I hate fake call outs.

    I agree. I took it back and as I stated, I was ranting my anger.
  15. Denver Weatherman Loses Job over Twitter Remarks about Nurses:

    I don't have any experience with Nursing home nurses.. but the stories about their patient-to nurse ratio is straight from a horror movie. Yet, I am speculating that the public demands care that only a 1:1 constant ICU type could achieve..in a nursi...
  16. Denver Weatherman Loses Job over Twitter Remarks about Nurses:

    I'm currently arguing on a forum that claims we, nurses, act with prejudice for our patients. A comment that causes nothing but raise conspiracy theories, is something that I abhor. In this case, there would actually be people that believes all nurs...
  17. That systemic prejudice must be so real. I'm just a mere "minority," a "troll according to you." That just laughs at your rhetoric. And I'm FROM Massachusetts.
  18. Oh yes. Automatically, I become a "troll" because I won't buy into your rhetoric. Must be that evidence based logic claiming systemic Prejudice exists in action.
  19. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    Finally. A person comes out and states.. "Allow us to KEEP our liberty."
  20. Healthcare disparities, does not happen with me. I am providing my patients with health care. I am health care, for my patients. The people that are associated with me, the MDs, the CNAs, lab techs, are also "health care" for our patients. WE do not ...
  21. How long does it take to become a psych nurse?

    Marie, we are serious. Really. As soon as you become a RN (actually before), start sending applications to the Psychiatric hospitals/units in the area. You can become a Psych nurse with a fresh gleaming nursing license that has never seen a mineral e...
  22. Now, watch some fool use words that it was not a concentration camp, but a internment camp. Let's see. A group of population, not based by nationality (they were Americans) but because of the heritage and color of their skin were stripped of all thei...
  23. Since everyone is missing the point: Allow me to clarify it. What is Health care? A patient, waiting in a room..scared, anxious, and a person (Nurse, or a MD, or a CNA, or SW) approaching that patient. THAT person, is "health care" for the patient. T...
  24. lol that comment made me laugh. Thank you for that.
  25. Wow. Systemic racism is so real, that no minorities in this nation ever made it to the top.
