  1. The crowd was there to show support for SB 840

    DarrenWright replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Not really, but have a cup of tea, and applaud them for being so much more successful at the American dream than you and

  2. The crowd was there to show support for SB 840

    DarrenWright replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Neither one of these scenarios reflect what I was saying, but that is OK. I'm sure the theme of my post was clear, but the tendency to avoid addressing the fact straight with diverted discussion can't...

  3. Gilded Age Redux...

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Rethinking this, I would have to say that if I was investing in a hedge fund that was paying the manager over a billion dollars, I better be getting a pretty beautiful return myself on my investment,...

  4. Gilded Age Redux...

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well, it was entitled the "Gilded Age Redux." I just wanted to recognize one of the "gilded" who happens to be a child of a champion of a socialized system, while her successors (the Bush twins), are...

  6. The crowd was there to show support for SB 840

    DarrenWright replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    1. There is no research or political experiment that proves the theory that diversity strengthens us as a country. I don't refute the idea, but I don't make claims that cannot be supported by...

  7. Eating healthy on 21 dollars per week...

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am incredibly happy there are programs to help fine citizens like you. I am disappointed that there are too many loopholes which cultivate the lack of responsibility exercised by your children's...

  8. Eating healthy on 21 dollars per week...

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Doesn't matter what is implied. What matters is the TRUTH, and the truth is that it is NOT a tax-funded program, and it is not operated by the gov't. It operates without taking a dime of taxpayer...

  9. The crowd was there to show support for SB 840

    DarrenWright replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There is a difference between domestic criticism (essential to the democratic process), vs. a national showing up for the purpose of self-benefit who then turns to the activity of denigrating the very...

  10. Have you ever done IO IV Placement?

    DarrenWright replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Done many. It depends on the patient (adult or pediatric), the needle type, and the urgency. If you are using the traditional Jamshidi trocar on a pediatric (or even an adult), you will put it in the...

  11. CRNA will become PhD?

    DarrenWright replied to hojimma's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It's not quite that simple for anesthesiologists. There isn't quite the shortage of them, so slots are harder to get. Additionally, they don't just graduate from four years of medical school and...

  12. Eating healthy on 21 dollars per week...

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    But you don't know that, and there is not one single reference to support your "more-than-likely." Facts are essential. PHEAA started out as a loan guarantor company, not as a grant provider. The fact...

  13. The crowd was there to show support for SB 840

    DarrenWright replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I never said they were all from south of the border, or that they were all from an oppressed country. My point, still valid, was that many take substantial risks to get into this country. And you...

  14. The crowd was there to show support for SB 840

    DarrenWright replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    An exaggeration? In what manner? In that it's not risky and many die trying to make the trip? An estimated half-million per year risk crossing the southern border each year. Add to that the even...

  15. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    A film is not a patient. A patient is not a biased construction of ideas. A patient is not designed to subjectively persuade you during your assessment to reinforce any preconcieved notion you might...

  16. The crowd was there to show support for SB 840

    DarrenWright replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    A lot of emotion...clouding the facts. If someone wants to go to nursing school, the multi-year wait is imaginary. There is definitely a shortage of instructors in some areas, which leads to a...

  17. Eating healthy on 21 dollars per week...

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    PHEAA is an independent agency and is not tax-supported. The money those students receive does not come from tax revenue. These may be labeled "state grants," but this in no way correlates with your...

  18. top 10 problems with HSA's

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It's not a myth. And if you don't think it is, ask the leaders of any trade union in California. And they are usually on your side when it comes to employment

  19. The crowd was there to show support for SB 840

    DarrenWright replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This country does not belong to GWB. Your accusation is unfair. As a college student with no insurance, I went to the orthodontist with four impacted wisdom teeth. He accepted a 10-month payment plan....

  20. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Thanks for the link. Now allow me to point out (once again), an item BLATANTLY ignored by people who like to use that statistic; this is for a time period of TWO YEARS. It does not reflect a point in...

  21. Food insecurity in America.......

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm just curious; what would be a reasonable salary for the administrators of a charity like Second

  22. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    1. Can you please either stop refuting the false claim that 40-something million people are uninsured, or address the facts. BTW, if waiting is an issue that causes death, why would you want to go to...

  23. Eating healthy on 21 dollars per week...

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No they don't. Since I've had friends graduate from that college, I'd like to know the names of these state

  24. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You can't make an argument for socialized/single-payer based on whether or not a Canadian won't make a total exchange of the Canadian system for an Aetna card, and here are two reasons. 1. 75% of...

  25. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    For some reason, I'm seeing M. Moore chuckling all the way to the bank with these endorsements. Does one not see the irony in enriching M. Moore for a message of activism while he criticizes others...
