    bakpakr replied to metalhead's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have 5 days left until I finish my CNA course. We graduate this Friday. We start actual resident care on Monday. I can't wait. I know the CNA is low on the totem pole but if it were not for the CNA...

    bakpakr replied to Elvish's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Where to start.. Back in 1986 my x-wife and I lost a set of twins to miscarriage. That was by far one of the most difficult days and one of the worst days in my life. The doctors and nurses were...

    bakpakr replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    thanks for the info. I was able to obtain a copy and have made a dvd of it and am letting all my friends view it. I think Oprah's show and Sicko should be mandatory for all to see. Many may not agree...

  8. OPRAH "Sick in America: It can happen to you"

    bakpakr replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I have to answer yes to this. Also have to say that I have already been and still am a participant in a Government sponsored health plan. Also at this very moment there are probably a million or more...

  9. OPRAH "Sick in America: It can happen to you"

    bakpakr replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I finally got the chance to watch it. Was better than I expected. What I found funny was the Insurance Industry Rep. For most of the show she was like a deer in the headlights. She really did not have...

  14. Contagious CNA showing up for work!!!!

    bakpakr replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    My concern with having to work when contagious is, couldn't that be construed as abuse? By working sick you are jeopardizing the health and welfare of the residents. What would happen if due to being...

    bakpakr replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Jerico you have made some valid points. And I agree with a good bit of what you said. But it seems you have fallen into the trap laid by the Insurance and pharmaceutical companys. Yes Michael Moore...

  16. National Health Care, Your Thoughts

    bakpakr replied to Medic15251's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am all for universal health care. Although I feel it will never happen here in the US. The insurance and pharmaceutical companys are to entrenched in the government to allow it to happen. If we...

    bakpakr replied to tigress_8207's topic in General Nursing

    bakpakr replied to Mozzie's topic in Nurse Management

    I'm not a Nurse YET. But I will add that when I was in the military I was given the position of Motor Sgt. Granted I was groomed for a leadership position all throughout my career. It was my turn in...
