  1. Different Stem Cell Treatments Both Produce Results For Two Similar Spinal Cord Injur

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm not religious. I don't pray or attend church or participate in any religious activities except weddings and funerals. I said I find it morally objectional. As a free country we HAVE elected to...

  2. Medical Writers

    DarrenWright replied to andyangel's topic in General Nursing

    I think your specialty (education materials) is what results in a lower exposure to the ethical challenges of medical writing. OTOH, there is a lot of debate among medical writers regarding MW ethics,...

  3. Medical Writers

    DarrenWright replied to andyangel's topic in General Nursing

    I attended a graduate program in medical writing for one semester before switching to NP. I think I may go back and finish it later, but a scientific mind and an enduring work ethic is what is really...

  4. Medical Writers

    DarrenWright replied to andyangel's topic in General Nursing

    What is your specialty? What kind of writing do you do, i.e. journalism, product writing,

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

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It's sad that people will boil this travesty of media down to a gratefulness that someone who has a history of remarkable untruthfulness and hypocrisy will be the one to compare US healthcare to Cuba,...

  6. U.S. Health Care System 'Slowly Bankrupting Us,'

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Not well thought through. Corporate sell-off simply transfers the cost to the employee, and liberals are more inclined to force employers to shoulder the cost of health care. I also think it's...

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

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It's just unfortunate that his comparison will not be accurate. It will show that a media moment will afford the cherry-picked guests access to Cuban medicine that the average Cuban citizen does not...

  8. Different Stem Cell Treatments Both Produce Results For Two Similar Spinal Cord Injur

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Just shows that you truly don't understand the issue. It's more than just about destroying embryos, but also about exploiting them. As I've said, do as you wish. Don't ask for my money to do something...

  9. If CEO's have free healthcare, then workers get free healthcare."

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The methods used to defend Obama and his wife are weak at best. I'm sure few are aware that they are actually contradicting themselves. The irony is that Obama was campaining at a UNION event, while...

  10. What is your experience with venoscopes?

    DarrenWright replied to Anagray's topic in General Nursing

    I find the penlight to be clumsy. You can find transilluminators (new) on Ebay for about $20 bucks. You may be able to talk a freebie out of a sales

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I didn't call you a socialist, but your presentations certainly champion socialist ideas. And food security cannot be assigned solely to the society; food security also requires individual...

  12. We don't need over-priced insurance - we need Guaranteed Healthcare.

    DarrenWright replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    An American working as an RN in France. An RN with 15 years experience makes about $2500 per month. This RN makes $1600 per month working in an ICU with a 1:13 patient ratio!...

  13. Nurses from the old Oil City Hospital?

    DarrenWright replied to cpkRN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    The 'old' Oil City Hospital is no longer a hospital. It was largely closed down back in the early 90's under much protest and drama during a merger of sorts with the hospital in Franklin...which was...

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    1. i'll take you up on that bet (because i believe there are accredited reputable schools that don't take a dime of taxpayer money or assistance), the wager will be that you attach a quote by...

  15. Really interesting discussion about CNS injuries and stem cell therapy...

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You are incorrect. While billions of taxpayer dollars are spent to fund medical research, "most" of medical research is NOT paid for by the taxpayer via gov't handouts. I'm not disagreeing with a...

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

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No argument, but I received ZERO in welfare and food stamps. I thought you started this thread to talk about fresh veggies. No surprise that it morphs into a justification for useless social program...

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

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I wish all social programs were modeled after the GI bill; it was not a handout, but was something that had to be

  18. Different Stem Cell Treatments Both Produce Results For Two Similar Spinal Cord Injur

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I can't help it if you don't like my word usage, but feel free to mock my language. Otherwise, I apologize if you weren't able to understand the intent of the post. If it was confusing, a simple...

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

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Schools are affordable, but the more money we put into them, the worse they become. No-one opposes financial aid and education, but welfare has distorted itself far beyond money for school and...

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

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    first, social investment has failed miserably at achieving the goal of helping people become self-sufficient. personally, i think it sounds like an oxymoron. people who have not figured out...

  21. Really interesting discussion about CNS injuries and stem cell therapy...

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Your posts and biased graphics have absolutely nothing to do with my moral opposition to the taxpayer-funding of the exploitation of embryos. I never said I was opposed to paying taxes, or opposed to...

  22. We don't need over-priced insurance - we need Guaranteed Healthcare.

    DarrenWright replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    And American nurses (and physicians), unionized or not, would never agree to the working conditions and salaries of the

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

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It was "A" way to continue your education, but not "the only way." This, however, is not a primary point that I feel a need to make, because in this case, you made it work. Most people don't. This...

  24. Two Florida hospitals now charge extra for non-emergency ER visits

    DarrenWright replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sheeesh...you missed the point, and you cannot make your opinion an absolute. EMTALA, as it's written, allows nurses to conduct the screening for an emergency as defined by EMTALA as long as it's...

    DarrenWright replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I didn't create the ghetto's. I don't make people live there. They are not prisons, nor are they unescapable. What you fail to realize is that there is a limit to what can be provided to people who...
