The thread is only off-topic when the free-everything-for-everyone crowd isn't dominating it.

I don't see it as irrelevant. The single payer system will not work because we can't afford it. I guess you socialists can't add and subtract, but the fact of the matter is that the money is not/will not be there. The current administration is planni...

You want to live in Europe? Move. BTW, enjoy your time in the Graybar Motel.

None of those sources have any credibility with a large number of Americans. You can surf the net to find support for ANY position, then link it. So what. All that means is that you can waste your time developing sources that agree with YOU. You comm...

Don't worry, the candidates will be leaving soon .

A Washington Post poll? Come now, they are farther left than Pravda. You can do better than that.

Ask a student from on of the best-funded schools who the speaker of the house is. Ask them to find South Carolina on a map. Public education in affluent communities means nothing more than better paid teachers.

The magnet facility in our system is bleeding red ink, and the system administration is desperately carving up other facilities to keep it's "magnet" afloat. Everyone sees it as a meaningless designation, more a marketing tool than anything else.

You might be surprised at the number of RNs (3 in my house, most at my hospital) that don't support any of this stuff. That is pretty much a reflection of the public at large.

The federal government has pretty much wrecked public education. Let's give them a shot at wrecking healthcare.

As a Serving Employer Instead of Us member, "hoping" that employer will agree with it is about all the SEIU does. Don't waste your dues on these idiots.

That got everyone all sniffly...real Oprah stuff.

You have a point .

AGH isn't hiring until they relocate about 100 nurses displaced by the move of the OB/GYN and Psych units to other hospitals in the WPAHS system. My son was recently an inpatient at Children's. A beautiful facility to be sure, but the staff we had c...

Historical judgement of a bunch of left-leaning academics. Hardly representative of FDR's actual record. BTW, he was not "wildly" popular.

Oddly enough, my grandparents (92, 95) were people of the day, and they agree wholeheartedly.

FDR lengthened the Great Depression by years. World War 2 saved him from the ash heap of history. By and large, he was a socialist and a national disgrace.

I believe CCAC and RMU both have grads in December. We have some students in our ICU that are done at the end of 2009. As far as the job situation loosening up, who knows. Health care reform will likely cost jobs, despite what the government says (it...

her parents are responsible for her care. if they are not prepared to care for a child, then they shouldn't have one. that includes care before birth.

Onorato, the boy-who-would-be-governor-but-isn't-known-in-Philly. If he makes too much noise, the Evil Empire will buy Allegheny County and fire him.

You assume too much, BRDog, but that is the way of the know-it-all liberal. I HAVE experienced being dropped. I HAVE a chronic condition. I bought insurance elsewhere. I took care of MYSELF. Try it. It works. The socialist turds in Washington are qui...

UPMC just put a good bit of money into the facility according to news reports, and plan on keeping some outpatient services there.

The dance has finished at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh. SEIU Healthcare Pennsylvania urged us to vote on yet another weak contract, citing "tough economic times". Some of us wondered out loud who they worked for, and several nurses asked ...

Galley slaves had jobs too .

I believe the law lets a facility mandate if it is an "emergency" . First time I get mandated will be the last day I work as an RN at the facility that mandated me.
