    kjetski posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    How are male nurses treated by their co-workers and management (docs)? I just signed up for an ADN program at one of the local degree mills. I found out that admission is based on an ATI test score...

    kjetski replied to RN_Newbie's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know nothing at all about medicine. Social science? Bring it on... In any event my first class starts in a month.. A & P. Time to get 1000 3 x 5's I guess. I could not imagine the pressure...

  4. Falling Behind: Americans' Access to Medical Care Deteriorates

    kjetski replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It appears that HSC "tracking report" is based on self reporting. Self reporting is a lousy way to gather data. A couple of years ago The Lancet published a so called study claiming mega-deaths in...

  7. National Day of protest Against Insurance Corps

    kjetski replied to Ludlow's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Attack? What attack? Your concerns/logic are misplaced. I provided an example that is accepted as "general knowledge" and pointed out the tone of your response. This is a political sub-forum...

    kjetski replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

  9. National Day of protest Against Insurance Corps

    kjetski replied to Ludlow's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Indeed, Free expression is a path to freedom. If you cannot take the heat do not jump into the fire. In any event the response to my simple request for a proper source was silence. Case

  10. National Day of protest Against Insurance Corps

    kjetski replied to Ludlow's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It is obvious that you do not understand a darn thing about economics. Healthcare is a business, it is not a right given to us by our creator. Universal healthcare is an oxymoron. Waiting times...

  11. Share Your Funniest Patient Stories...

    kjetski replied to Trvln Nurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    My sister is a PA. She drinks like a fish and chain smokes. I have seen her light one from the end of another. A couple of years ago I was visiting her in the Florida Panhandle. In keeping with her...

  12. Pandemic News/Awareness - Thread 3

    kjetski replied to indigo girl's topic in General Nursing

    I guess you do not remember the so called "swine flu threat". The latest from the "sky is falling" crowd is the bird flu hoax. H5N1 (or whatever moniker) is of no threat to civilized societies....

    kjetski replied to Ludlow's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    OMFG! Who gave you the purple Koolaid? The insurance industry saves millions of consumers billions of dollars every month by allowing them to contract their healthcare costs. Who could do it...

    Bollix, or so the phrase goes. The OP is entitled to an opinion, which I do not happen to share. The OP sounds like a Kipper, and that explains a

  16. What is the Law for Nurses taking breaks?

    kjetski replied to Ebeza's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My sister is a PA who has a mind of her own. She conducts her practice at her own pace (slow) and chainsmokes. She will light the end of one with another.. She has an FY designation rather than one...

    kjetski replied to buddiage's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Any of the misdeeds of the medical community are already covered by tort law. Americans in particular have the right of redress. Laws kill patients and citizens. How many examples shall I

  20. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    kjetski replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Lol, No way! I prefer the price mechanism as opposed to the "que". I am somewhat familiar with Canadian Medicare and the UK's NHS. Both do a wonderful job given the limited rescources each...
