  1. Obama's health plan takes shape

    wowza replied to blue note's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The goal is the exact same as an infomercial to sell you something; for obama it is to gain support and muscle his plan through congress. This will be nothing more than a Sham Debate- ABC is hand...

  2. Obama's health plan takes shape

    wowza replied to blue note's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There is a clear difference between what fox did with bush and what ABC is doing. ABC is giving Obama the stage to push his very controversial health care plan on prime time TV so that he can get more...

  3. GOP releases healthcare plan; actual plan not included

    wowza replied to blue note's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That recent study doesnt negate any point I have made. It is in response to those saying if you are above the poverty line you can afford heath insurance: " Some experts have suggested that because...

  4. GOP releases healthcare plan; actual plan not included

    wowza replied to blue note's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Seriously that 47 million statistic is overblown and misleading. 8.3 million make $50-75K per year and 8.7 million make >$75K per year. These people can afford insurance but chose not to buy...

  5. How do you think Obama's plans for health insurance will affect nursing salaries?

    wowza replied to tejas-nurse's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Even in the outpatient setting salaries will go down. As more and more people take the gov't heath plan, doctors will be paid less which means the nurse will also have to be paid less. While I doubt...

  6. What to monitor in Coumadin therapy?

    wowza replied to Superlost1984's topic in General Nursing

    While you could technically get a coumadin level, it will tell you less than the PT or INR will since that is the actual physiological response of that specific patient- longer clotting times....

  7. Single-payer advocates disrupt Senate Finance Committee.

    wowza replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Enough bickering about networks. Fox news sucks. They are clearly biased, put too much non-news on the news and are just too over the top. They remind me of the movie Idiocracy sometimes. MSNBC and...

  8. Canada's healthcare saved her; Ours won't cover her

    wowza replied to blue note's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    A survey, even of scientists, is hardly proof. At one time, the greatest minds in the world thought the earth was flat. A survey of them would have told us the earth was flat. I am not saying global...

  9. What do health insurance corporations do?

    wowza replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    While I agree that in theory this could be a great good for the citizens of the united states, in practice it goes against many of the core ideals that this country was founded upon: 1) It creates a...

  10. What do health insurance corporations do?

    wowza replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Everyone always points to the negatives about health insurance companies. And while there definitely are some, without these companies no one would be able to afford a catastrophic accident, cancer...

  11. NP to MD

    wowza replied to kimkubick's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You're not going to find any agreements at any US university or any carribean university that will allow you to gain practice rights in the US. You unfortunately are looking at 4yrs med school, 3...

  12. Canada's healthcare saved her; Ours won't cover her

    wowza replied to blue note's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If the gov't could come up with a nationalized plan that did these things I would be on board: 1) Provide the same standard of care (or better than currently) 2) Create a more cost effective system 3)...

  13. Canada's healthcare saved her; Ours won't cover her

    wowza replied to blue note's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    A very interesting and thought provoking post... I have to disagree on a few grounds. The goods you listed are provided either because they would not be provided by the market or because they are best...

  14. Interesting article on Obama health care plan

    wowza replied to Future-nurse's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Actually it's both. The two are not mutually exclusive and are different, you just missed the distinction. In context, the first compares when you have very few people to buffer costs. They pay closer...

  15. Interesting article on Obama health care plan

    wowza replied to Future-nurse's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think i should run for

  16. Interesting article on Obama health care plan

    wowza replied to Future-nurse's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Your logic is flawed. When you pool a group of people, the cost to the individual goes down because the medical costs of the sick can be buffered by the premiums of more healthy people. 1 guy out of...

  17. Interesting article on Obama health care plan

    wowza replied to Future-nurse's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You are misinterpreting what the found fathers had in mind and our constitution as a whole. The founders wanted a country free from the intervention of the gov't so they created certain rights that...

  18. Nurses, physicians weigh in on new doctoral nurse degree

    wowza replied to Brian's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You DO NOT HAVE THE TRAINING. You read it in a book and were given very cursory training in medical managment that was overshadowed by your training in MSK issues and subluxations. Reading a book and...

  19. Nurses, physicians weigh in on new doctoral nurse degree

    wowza replied to Brian's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I really don't know why people like to bring up the dentist example because in this case it is a poor one. If my patient were to have some sort of dental problem, I would be terribly equipped to deal...

  20. Nurses, physicians weigh in on new doctoral nurse degree

    wowza replied to Brian's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think SirI's point is that you could get into trouble by calling yourself a doctor in a clinical setting, especially in the hospital. Frankly I have to call BS on the bolded part. This is a hunk of...

  21. DNP's failing the test????

    wowza replied to physasst's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Foiled

  22. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    wowza replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Dentists also have the highest education possible in their field. No one else does teeth. Frankly a medical doctor is not qualified to do what dentists do to teeth. Silas is right... very rarely do...

  23. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    wowza replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No i think NPs fill a vital role esp since there are not enough FPs. The push for complete autonomy is misplaced though. The issue I have is that the difference between the masters and the "doctorate"...

  24. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    wowza replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My basic assumption is that more training means a better prepared provider. That is false? You are still skirting my question- do you feel the 3 years- one of those being nursing theory- that an NP...

  25. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    wowza replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    i am not sure how many different ways i can say the same thing. here's the cliff notes for you: if you select out those with higher scores, you are going to have brighter students, on average, than...
