    Cheney would "probably be dead by now" if not for his federally funded health care

    LydiaNN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I have to disagree with that. I think there were more jokes made about Clinton than any President in recent memory. There have been some real interesting ideas expressed on this thread, but I do...

    LydiaNN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes. I get that. What I want to know is what part of "I think health care should be funded by tax dollars (of which I certainly pay my share)" translates for you to "I am willing to fund this myself"....

    Friend calls herself a nurse but never really worked as one

    LydiaNN replied to MommyandRN's topic in General Nursing

    If she maintains her license, she is a nurse. No, it wouldn't bother me. I know an MD who isn't practicing medicine. She is still entitled to use the MD after her

    LydiaNN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Why do you keep suggesting that, when it isn't anyone else's point? We do open our checkbooks up, figuratively, twice a month when taxes our withheld from our paychecks and literally, often, when we...

    LydiaNN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I can't speak for the many other posters in this thread who object to this nonsense, but I say it would be just swell. I do not want or need daily affirmation that just showing up and doing my job...

    MR/DD or ICU???

    LydiaNN replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, if you really feel that you wouldn't have the option to try #2 again, at least not without a return stint to M/S, then it might make sense to try that out. If it doesn't work, MR/DD agencies...

    LydiaNN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    LydiaNN replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

    You'd have to invest that $669,000 very, very well indeed if you don't ever want to work again. It sounds like a lot of money, but when you're looking at making last 50 or so years, well.... good...
