8. Too anxious for SICU? (long)

   heartrn35 replied to ggfifirn05's topic in MICU, SICU

   ggfifi, I have to question what you are anxious about? I mean I know that ICU is an anxiety producing experience, but just make sure that your focus is correct. Worry about what your patients need,...

11. Is the AA profession gaining ground?

    heartrn35 replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    heartrn35 replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You can put any spin on it you would like, or more truthfully you can put any label on it you would like. The truth is the gov't would control the purse strings. Not directly but indirectly. When...

14. A majority of Americans would tolerate higher taxes to help pay for universal health

    heartrn35 replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Do you really think that a Gov't run health care system is a good idea. We are talking about the same people who can't ever balance a budget. These people think that balancing the budget is done by...
