  3. To call or not to call

    Jolie replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Unless it's a dire emergency like sudden onset of severe pain or bleeding where there is a clear need for immediate treatment, call first. And I would suggest that you call your provider, not the...

  7. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    Jolie replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    i apologize if i misconstrued your post. you stated, " i doubt it would work here since it depends on a very high level of personal responsibiliety among citizens." i took carried that further by...

  8. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    Jolie replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You seem to be advocating a system that you acknowledge probably won't work here due to the entitlement mentality of the American people. One of those "entitlements" is free contraception, which...

  9. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    Jolie replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Perhaps their systems of taxation, healthcare delivery and payment should be studied and trialed here. But you indicate that you already pay more in taxes here than you did in NZ, and the bulk of...

  10. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    Jolie replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No one is arguing a woman's right to utilize birth control, just arguing who is responsible for

  11. Health care a right or privilege

    Jolie replied to jcasablanca's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Thank you for clarifying. We'd still like to hear your input

  12. Needing advice...

    Jolie replied to mc3's topic in School

    I'm sorry this happened to you. I'm glad that your principal backed you, however, it sounds like the woman should have been escorted from your office, if not the school entirely. Do not feel like...

  13. School Nursing Practicum - how to translate into acute setting?

    Jolie replied to Unesdala's topic in Pediatric

    I agree with the previous posters. I've worked in level III NICUs and I've worked as a school nurse. The school nurse job was far more challenging. At the time I took that job, I'd been a nurse for...

  14. Health care a right or privilege

    Jolie replied to jcasablanca's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Perhps you could start off the conversation. It's an interesting topic, sure to stir a lively debate, but we don't like to do other peoples'

  15. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    Jolie replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I believe you misunderstood me. The cost of birth control is NOT discounted or covered by my insurance. The price of $20/month is a discount offered by my local outlet of a national retail pharmacy...

  16. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    Jolie replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    but you don't get those services for free. you pay your portion of that care. why should birth control be

  18. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    Jolie replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Your agrument ignores the Guttmacher stat that over 50% of women presenting for abortion used birth control in the month they conceived. That would point to improper and/or inconsistent use or...

  19. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    Jolie replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Not selfishness, pragmatism. Obamacare will not lower healthcare costs, it will cause them to increase even faster because it will leave people with the perception that their bills are someone else's...

  20. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    Jolie replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree that stinks. And it stinks because your insurance was taking advantage of you by charging you premiums yet not providing you with reasonable discounts/coverage on the services you desired....

  21. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    Jolie replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I get your point, I just disagree with it. You are optimistic that this bill will lower costs and improve access to healthcare. I am certain that it will have the opposite effect because it is...

  22. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    Jolie replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That's not my point at all. My point is that contraception doesn't lower abortion rates. As cited, the majority of women presenting for abortions had used contraception in the month in which they...

  23. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    Jolie replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If you don't like my statistics, I'll use yours. They prove the same point, which is that the wider availability of numerous new birth control products over the 20+ year period (many available...

  24. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    Jolie replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I certainly hope that the government does not have a vested interest in an individual's pregnancy. Pregnancy is not contagious, nor does it pose a threat to one's neighbors or community, so I don't...

  25. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    Jolie replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    LookingAhead, I admire your optimism, but respectfully disagree with your perspective. I don't believe that the overall goal of Obamacare is preventive care and cost savings. I believe it is...
