    Health Care is Not a Right

    dream'n replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Prior to ObamaCare, which by the way I don't care for because it didn't go far enough, when has a free market healthcare system EVER worked? You want to trust a for-profit company to make the...

    Health Care is Not a Right

    dream'n replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There is a great news video on Youtube that has some really relevant information comparing the US and Canadian healthcare systems. I can't post the link so just go to Youtube and search for MSNBC Ali...

    Health Care is Not a Right

    dream'n replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No the pay is the same, only my sanity is much better :) I believe the US has the highest healthcare costs in the world and our taxes are not cheap. I owe quite a bit of taxes every

    Health Care is Not a Right

    dream'n replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think you'll be very shocked at the US healthcare system that is in place. I probably pay more money than most for my employers healthcare policy and it covers little. Yet my last employer had...

    Health Care is Not a Right

    dream'n replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So you think if I don't children, my taxes shouldn't support the schools. Or if I never use the USPS, my taxes shouldn't pay for the service. I never drive on the roads in the northern part of my...

    Rocephin Injection

    dream'n replied to newgrad1988's topic in General Nursing

    Had a feeling that you just needed a little reassurance. I've been known to stew and stress after work myself many times, guess it takes one to know one,

    Rocephin Injection

    dream'n replied to newgrad1988's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure it's all fine. If you are afraid that you accidentally gave the Rocephin in a vein, rest peacefully. IV push medications have a very rapid action; almost immediate. The child wouldn't have...

    Refusing to change/toilet pts

    dream'n replied to ShockMe's topic in General Nursing

    I could go on and on about this, but I'll keep it short. I help when I am able. I can't remember ever working with a nurse that acted "too superior" to clean or toilet patients. Seriously. Nurses...

    Help, I got a tough choice to make

    dream'n replied to morganm_0819's topic in General Nursing

    All just my opinion, but I think floor 3 would give you an all-around nursing base without the focus on cardiac (like floor 2), but still learning telemetry. Floor 1 sounds like it doesn't know what...

    What are some issues with younger residents you are having?

    dream'n replied to Ltcrn81's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Agree 100%. OP, aren't you worried about the liabilities this creates? And you want your nurses to be monitoring the alcohol consumption? No way would I take on that

    Leaving my comfy throne to go into LTC, comfort vs skills

    dream'n replied to MzLopez4real's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm older than the OP, but high-paying and comfortable are not to be minimized. And at my age, thinking of a job as challenging=stressful, not what I

    Question for all clinic nurses

    dream'n replied to Love2Sleep's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    What sort of Urology procedures would they need you to do that an LPN that works the actual specialty couldn't? That would give me pause unless I was very familiar with Urology. And do you have...

    Help, I got a tough choice to make

    dream'n replied to morganm_0819's topic in General Nursing

    My choice would be the 3rd floor because it sounds like you would get a good mixture of patient diagnosis' with some telemetry thrown in. The transplant floor would scare me more than a cardiac...

    Pain is a pain

    dream'n replied to ladedah1's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is getting mixed signals on pain control. For about 20 years it's all been "pain is what the patient says it is." Now with so many Opioid and Heroin deaths, the FDA and some other healthcare...

    Sepsis help

    dream'n replied to RugerNurse's topic in General Nursing

    You are viewing the question wrong. First you need to understand what sepsis does, why it occurs and how it affects the body. THEN you can critically figure out what type of s/s you would see. If...

    Those Overly Exaggerating Nursing Stories

    dream'n replied to Cvepo's topic in General Nursing

    JMHO, but I started nursing eons ago in my very early 20s. I worked as a nurse for about 18 years, then took a break doing a non-healthcare related job for a year, then had to return to nursing to...

    Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    Patient abuse, difficult situation

    dream'n replied to Joyfulnurse79's topic in General Nursing

    Do the right thing by your patient's and your license. Who cares if other employees get pissed off? Jobs come and go, but you won't get any work as a nurse if you lose your license. Do your work so...
