  1. I hate fake call outs.

    KonichiwaRN replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    A coworker that fakes a illness, to have a nice weekend of rest while placing burden on his/her coworkers.. is nothing but a selfish arrogant jerk. We know your kind. And we do not trust you, or will...

  3. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    KonichiwaRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I think that is the scenario since somewhat of a market competition still exists. You (and me) would have no say should Medicare come in to replace "everything," and the surcharges are skyrocketing....

    KonichiwaRN replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    I point to the part where I'm saying, let us "assume" that I agree with you. You can't control bias. There will always be people that decide to be biased, or prejudiced, or racist. It's their choice....

  6. Elizabeth Warren says doctors, nurses don't treat black women same way as other women

    KonichiwaRN replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    So let us say that I will agree with you slightly on this "non quantifiable verifiable" variable of internal prejudice. How do you solve it? People have it automatically, right? You are placing a...

    KonichiwaRN replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    How can a ethnic minority, have a internal bias in this nation? You are automatically placing sin on a group of population (nurses and doctors) that we are treating our patients with PREJUDICE. I...

  9. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    KonichiwaRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm basically for, let the market decide on the price. That always worked for the better interest of the consumers. It got complicated as we are all aware. Somewhere along the line, we did get the...

    KonichiwaRN replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    Internal biases. Oh yes. The subjective variable that cannot be sensed, seen, or quantified but is claimed by countless of case studies. Yes. I'm biased against such "studies." ? And I'm a "ethnic...

    KonichiwaRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Everything else is noise. Difference in opinions exist. It all starts getting complicated when someone starts to say, "I can make this word into a better place!" Always ends up in higher taxes. I...

  13. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    KonichiwaRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    It's weird how you came to that one single conclusion, when there's a vast possibility that could come out. It's like saying: since I am not for a "universal health care plan," I must be for the...

  14. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    KonichiwaRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I have many times stated: a "single entity" that establishes the cost of a service that is provided by the private sector.. will do nothing but drive up costs. and how will people cover those costs...

    KonichiwaRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I really don't care what anyone does politically when it comes to social issues. Just don't raise our income taxes (federal rate). If you want your -insert whatever social agenda here- feel free to...

    KonichiwaRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    You guys (yes, you advocates of a government plan) already PLACED the government when it comes to: paying for health care.

  17. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    KonichiwaRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    KonichiwaRN replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    My point exactly! How dare she alleges and claims that we, nurses, have prejudice in our minds when it comes to our patient care? And people actually defend her. Which astonishes

  19. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    KonichiwaRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I am claiming that private insurance pays LESS than the government. sigh. This is why I brought up the Lasik surgery as an example. Private payers will drive cost DOWN while government paying for...

  20. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    KonichiwaRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Compare and contrast, "anything" that the government pays for.. versus, what a private entity would pay for. Supply and Demand. One of the fundamental rules of economics. You do not acknowledge that...

  21. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    KonichiwaRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm referring to a simple comparison. Compare the "elective procedure," called Lasik. Which the government does not pay for, with another "similar procedure" that the government pays for. Which costs...

  22. Does anyone here actually like nursing?

    KonichiwaRN replied to Sumdaymurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry to hear such thing has happened to you Nurse Betty. I also can relate how it feels to be bullied by the entire unit (minus one or two individuals), including the director of that unit....

    KonichiwaRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Then we do have a disagreement. I look at results to base my judgement. People cite "studies," that are not proven with results (real world) when it comes to social policies. I'd like to use a simple...

    KonichiwaRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, so now you are "forcing" private insurance companies to go out of business? (another subject) There goes competition even more! Poof! Monopoly. Anyways: We pay taxes. Income taxes. We already pay...
