    My son was denied health insurance!!!!!

    HM2VikingRN replied to Little Panda RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think the height weight charts put out by the insurance companies actually do more harm than good. I am skinny at 280 and the weight charts say I should weigh 225. I am not alone in this...

    Is There An "err-free" Rn?

    HM2VikingRN replied to gennifergen's topic in General Nursing

    Complex field. Many many ways to make mistakes. I think the important thing is to learn from mistakes and avoid repeating them. We're all just one blip away from a potentially serious error. I try to...

    will anyone ever hire me

    HM2VikingRN replied to isadoragag's topic in General Nursing

    Can you appeal? Failing you for taking 2 tries to draw up an injectable seems petty. If you did not place your patient in imminent risk of harm that does not seem to warrant a U. I would schedule a...

    Do I have any options????

    HM2VikingRN replied to stressedrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Can you appeal? It seems insane to fail a student for 2 failed quizzes when your overall grade is a B in the course. I would look at your student handbook and follow the appeals process. Don't be...

    HM2VikingRN posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    WASHINGTON, Nov. 24-When senators debate health care, they usually speak in abstract terms about soaring health costs and the plight of the uninsured. But just 20 feet from the Senate chamber is a...

    My son was denied health insurance!!!!!

    HM2VikingRN replied to Little Panda RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't think that being judgemental or sanctimonious is helpful. I am reacting to the sort of "blame the victim mentality" that is sometimes displayed towards victims of fill in the blank. My real...

    You Marxist. How on earth can we ever afford that? Why people will go to the doctor willy nilly....The market can save us all..... (I am most assuredly being facetious!) Great quote that says it...

    My son was denied health insurance!!!!!

    HM2VikingRN replied to Little Panda RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think that there is just a little bit of fat discrimination going on here. As someone who has struggled with weight issues throughout life I think it is simplistic and wrong to say that lifestyle...

    Having a hard time with work and TPAPN...Help!!!

    HM2VikingRN replied to OSoStressed's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would consider a request for accomodations under ADA. Arguably your TPAPN could be viewed as a reasonable accomodation under ADA. http://www.ada.gov/q%26aeng02.htm Check out the ADA policy for...

    Once I get RN licensure, can I still work as a CNA?

    HM2VikingRN replied to sam1998's topic in General Nursing

    I find that my working in a nonprofessional capacity after licensure is stunting my professional development. Far better IMO to get started ASAP. FWIW the MPLS VA is looking for new grad applicants....
