1. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

   CCarpeDiem replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism

   That reminds me of Sicko when it showed the British doctor. Apparently he got paid more money if more of his patients stopped smoking, lost weight, etc, etc. I know you can't force people to make healthy decisions but I'd like a system that just does...

2. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

   CCarpeDiem replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism

   I never said I would make preventative care a mandate or anything like that but it should be available for those who want it. Uhm....let's see. ::Contemplates:: I'm not sure if this is the same as universal health care but I think a national health c...

3. Would you feel comfortable with putting your loved ones in a nursing home?

   CCarpeDiem replied to BradleyRN's topic in General Nursing

   Well, my grandmother had alzheimer's and one of my aunts took care of her until about maybe a week or two before she died. If my mom had alzheimer's, I honestly couldn't handle it. I would put her in THE best nursing home and visit her a lot but it w...

4. "greener" health care?????

   CCarpeDiem replied to jaquelynne's topic in General Nursing

   I've definitley thought about it. I'm torn between nursing and going into the environmental field. Hopefully I'll be able to combine both.

5. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

   CCarpeDiem replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism

   With the money we've spent on the war, we can definitley have universal health care. I don't see why not. I would like to see more money spent on preventative care rather than just treating people when they get sick. It helps every one out. Things wo...

6. Who is in Nursing for the money?

   CCarpeDiem replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

   I've been interested in a lot of different field but it always revolved around helping people: psychologist, teacher, interior decorator (lol), doctor, etc. I'm in nursing because I'm fascinated by the human body, want to help people, and it doesn't ...

7. Rude to pt's family?

   CCarpeDiem replied to RiverNurse's topic in New Nurse

   I'm happy to hear that. There are some moments where "Customer is always right" not that I really see people in hospitals as 'customers' but this was not the case in your situation. I'm really glad you're moving on. =]

8. Rude to pt's family?

   CCarpeDiem replied to RiverNurse's topic in New Nurse

   I live in the South and just from reading your first post, I don't think you were rude. Having that family report you makes me scared for when I first start nursing. I'm not all that outgoing and I like to just do my work or whatever needs to be done...

9. Every day math

   CCarpeDiem replied to CCarpeDiem's topic in General Nursing

   Yeah, I've looked up all my prerequisites so I know the math classes I need to take. I was just wondering how prepared I would be given the prerequisites and how much math nurses use. http://nursing.uams.edu/Recruiting/BSNbrochure.pdf

10. Every day math

    CCarpeDiem posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a high school senior and I plan on becoming a women's health nurse practitioner. I'm pretty okay with math, I just have a HUGE complex with it. It's my lowest section on the ACT. In any case, I was wondering how much math is involved with every d...
