1. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

   brunclex129 replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism

   Of course the poor liberal couldn't help but reference the poor suffering children, and attack the "rich" CRNA. Go back to your playbook, and look up....your children aren't my responsibility. Maybe your neighboorhood is struggling because you don'...

2. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

   brunclex129 replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism

   The rich should not be more responsible for paying taxes. Everyone should contribute an equal amount to the tax pool for basic services. Don't know where you get your misinformed liberal data, but the rich pay 80% of the total tax dollars. And no, ...

3. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

   brunclex129 replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism

   Someone that pays no taxes would now pay 15-20% tax, just like everyone else. Make an equal and fair contribution of their income to society, just like everyone else. People that make more are more responsible? You've got to be kidding me. So peop...

4. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

   brunclex129 replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism

   Exactly! A. NO B. NO C. NO. I for one am not in the low tax bracket nor do I pay zero taxes. How about we install a flat tax, say 15 or 20% across the board for all U.S. citizens. This way those who don't pay any taxes can now contribute their fa...

5. The Largest Student Loan Actually PAID OFF!

   brunclex129 replied to BSNtobe2009's topic in General Nursing

   Financially it is smarter to hold a low interest loan, and use the money to invest instead of paying the loan balance off or making double payments. Payoff high interest loans like credit cards and cars instead, if you have other debt.

6. Care Plans - What's their purpose? - What do you think of them?

   brunclex129 replied to jjjoy's topic in General Students

   I agree. These liberal educators need some help. As a student I want to learn and be prepared to take the NCLEX, so I can pass it, not drilled about wording and APA format.

7. The Largest Student Loan Actually PAID OFF!

   brunclex129 replied to BSNtobe2009's topic in General Nursing

   Here is my advice....Do not pay off your student loans. The government interest rates are so low that you are better off making the minimum monthly payment. Get over the fact that you have loans and just deal with it. Student loans are an investme...

8. What did you do for work during school?

   brunclex129 replied to Giant Panda's topic in General Nursing

   Did not have time to work. I was in an accelerated BSN 20 month program, with around 18 credits a semester. Save the headache and concentrate on school if anyone is joining a full time program. I got an RN job 10 months before school was over with...

9. Is floor nursing the best start? How much of nursing is bedpans?

   brunclex129 replied to HopingtobeNP's topic in New Nurse

   jzkfel is right. You will certainly do all of these things in nursing school. I work in an ICU, and you have to move and turn patients that are sedated and can't help. You have to use wall suction to clean out the patient's mouth and the drool off...

10. True or False?

    brunclex129 replied to oohappyday's topic in General Nursing

    Theoretically, you cannot refuse to hire based on age, but good luck proving you are being discriminated against for that reason. Come to an interview an look and act professional, and age should be the last thing on their mind....but who knows. As...

11. Best shoe for the ED?

    brunclex129 replied to oohappyday's topic in Uniform/Gear

    Don't think too much about it, just get whatever color running shoes are allowed---usually white.

12. Nurse Schedules?

    brunclex129 replied to playbanjogood's topic in General Nursing

    I will work 2 12's and 2 8's, rotating two weeks day shift and two weeks night shift, and every other weekend. My unit does have custom scheduling where you can fill out the days you want to work, but you still generally have to stick to the schedul...

13. Associates or Bachelors?

    brunclex129 replied to mickjordmoll's topic in ADN/BSN

    If you plan on being just an RN for the rest of your life, just get an associates. Don't waste the time or extra money for a BSN. Your real training begins when you start working, anyway. Even if you did decide to try and advance in your careeer, ...

14. MSN or MAN

    brunclex129 replied to m-560's topic in General Nursing

    MSN is the way to go. It is the most recognized and helpful in advancing your career. Within the MSN degree you can choose your specialty...simlar to choosing your college major. As far as what school, if you plan on coming to the U.S. for school,...

15. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    brunclex129 replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism

    Good point, that's why I'm in favor of a free market system. Let me decide which drug or which procedure I want. Cut out the insurance co., the government, and anyone else who wants to fix prices or control care options. Let me pay for my health c...
