  1. We may need fewer nurses in the hospital...

    rags replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

  2. We may need fewer nurses in the hospital...

    rags replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    THAT might be a cool idea for us rather than the current system we have. I like it. Simple and easy... with coverage for those that choose it. If I understand it correctly...

  4. We may need fewer nurses in the hospital...

    rags replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    rags replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    "I can assure you I have never had a "handout" in my entire life. Also, as someone who has worked with the poor who you no doubt would classify as being lazy and wanting handouts I do take offense to...

  6. We may need fewer nurses in the hospital...

    rags replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    True for some but honestly do you think that percentage is very high??? "Or essentially defrauding millions of hard working Americans out of their retirement and savings funds..." Our government is...

    rags replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    "Furthermore isn't it logical for someone who makes 1.2 million dollars a year to pay just a little bit more in taxes than someone who makes 28 thousand a year?" No. it is NOT logical. The beauty of...

    rags replied to newbiepnp's topic in General Students

  12. Maternal Newborn vs Low Risk Neonatal

    rags replied to rags's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  15. Should the H1N1 Vaccine be mandatory for Healthcare Professionals?

    rags replied to Brian's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No. I don't think it should be mandatory for anyone. I feel the same about the seasonal flu shot.

  16. Becoming an RN just for the paycheck

    rags replied to Nellie Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I do believe that "stage of life" can most definitely be a contributor!

  17. Becoming an RN just for the paycheck

    rags replied to Nellie Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    You could look at it this way... Maybe once she is in a program she will have a new understanding and higher level of respect for what you do. Most don't realize what is involved in our job until they...

  18. Becoming an RN just for the paycheck

    rags replied to Nellie Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    rags replied to tam-tam's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I tried / wanted to edit the grammer in my post but the button never showed up. So... to clearify my errors 1)My sister was given 2 - 12 months without treatment 2)Please add a "t" to the end...

  22. Is DNR (do not resuscitate) a good idea?

    rags replied to tam-tam's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion if a pt gets to the point of needing intervention to stay alive then their condition (in this case we will use cancer as has been discussed most on this post) has progressed and their...
