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

    fronkey bean replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What this article clearly points out is there are flaws in both systems. Instead of changeing one set of problems for another, wouldn't it be better to keep what is good about our system and try to...

  2. Sairy Gamp slur--victimisation

    fronkey bean replied to greensister's topic in International Nursing

    It's good you could get past it. Are you still involved in the nursing community now that you are retired? You could be such an encouragement to young nurses going through difficulties. I'd love to...

  3. Sairy Gamp slur--victimisation

    fronkey bean replied to greensister's topic in International Nursing

    Too true! I had an incident where I was written up for clocking errors and for "unproffessional behavior" because I had written stupid jokes about myself for forgetting to clock in/out. The punishment...

    Governments have given money and support to allies since the beginning of government. The goals are usually to make themselves safer by having a larger base of support in the case of aggression by...

    I'm impressed. I work for a not-for-profit too but the only thing they do for the community is hire local construction co.s for all their expansion projects. (Isay this a little tongue in cheek. As I...

    fronkey bean replied to dbledutchs's topic in General Nursing

    I knew I was going to make it as a nurse the day of my final final exam. On the way home one of the nurses got a case of post-exam nerves and got out and threw up big time. The other three of us sat...

  7. The smell...

    fronkey bean replied to dbledutchs's topic in General Nursing

    Trust me you will get used to it but in the mean time there are a few tricks. You can get a mask and put a few drops of mint oil in it (if you don't want to wear a mask, you can put a drop or two of...

    fronkey bean replied to greensister's topic in International Nursing

    Greensister, thanks for the info, obviously I need to read some more Dickens . It is pretty asounding that someone would try to ruin your career over a bath, though I am not sure why I am so...

    fronkey bean replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It is a lot harder to cost shift these days w/ insurance co.'s setting limits aon how much they will pay for a test/proceedure (you can bill for $300 for a stress echo but BC/BS will pay $160 or so -...

    fronkey bean replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No argument from me there. If we could just get it out of the political realm and put it in the hands of medical professionals ( and not just

  11. So I lost it? Am I out of Line?

    fronkey bean replied to fizz2Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    OMG, and they wonder why they have 100% turnover in two years. How can a supervisor advise a nurse to abandon a pt (that is what the ER nurse did by bringing that pt to you w/o giving report). You...

    fronkey bean replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I definitely agree we need to do more towards prevention no matter what syst. we have. It will be hard to stomach paying huge amounts of taxes for health care for people who wan't quit smoking after...

    fronkey bean replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes and no (uh-oh, I sound like a politician). When you create an entitlement syst. like UHC people expect to be treated regardless. In a private insurance based syst. most people know they have care...

  14. Hating nurses? What is going on?

    fronkey bean replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    It is kind of sad that we all pay the price for something somone else has done. Sometimes it is not even that something was done wrong but that the pt's perception of it was neg. and perception is...

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

    fronkey bean replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As I said in another post, a compromise of the current insurance syst. and a gov't program for those who fall through the gap is not unreasonable but to make the entire system for all a gov't program...

    battpos, just google Micheal Moore and you will come up with a few dozen sites that talk about MM and his work - both positive and negative sites. Spend a few min. looking through a few of each and I...

    Or spending millions of dollars to save lives in America and other nations - depends on your point of view. Sorry, don't mean to sound self-righteous (I'm sure you didn't either) but it is not so...

    fronkey bean replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Difference in a UHC syst is that services will be so over whelmed even if you want to pay for it you may not be able

    fronkey bean replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I, and a few others who have responded, have not tried to ignore the pitfalls of our heathcare syst. nor do we say all is rosey or fine. We have repeatedly said there are problems w/ our syst. We just...

    fronkey bean replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What about keeping our current private insurance system with a program to provide gov't subsidation for those w/o insurance based on what they can afford to pay? (this is just a thought trown out. I...

    you didn't read my previous posts. the syst. is not so broken that it does not work at all. A little fiberglass filler and this tub could be good as new - not perfect but not bad

  24. What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?
