  6. Racism in the workplace

    pickledpepperRN replied to staygold's topic in General Nursing

    I think we agree on this. But Rush is on in the morning, afternoon, and night. I don't think kids should hear his show. I have no idea what his reasoning is. I have listened to his show and never...

  7. Racism in the workplace

    pickledpepperRN replied to staygold's topic in General Nursing

    pickledpepperRN replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    pickledpepperRN replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I look at my husbands Medicare statements. Physicians and hospitals bill for 2-5 times what Medicare approves. Then the patient or supplemental insurance pay about 20% of that. If they can afford it...
