    The doctor will see your credit now

    LydiaNN replied to LydiaNN's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, but where did I say that I don't like it? I have no problem with paying up front. Saves time at check out, and before the appointment, you're just sitting around in the waiting room anyway....

    The doctor will see your credit now

    LydiaNN replied to LydiaNN's topic in General Nursing

    ...which is why it wasn't an apt analogy in the first place. This thread isn't about whether providers deserve to be paid. Of course they do. And they do have courses of redress, as ineffective as...

    The last time I was at the supermarket, they didn't ask to see my credit

    The doctor will see your credit now

    LydiaNN replied to LydiaNN's topic in General Nursing

    There are legislators who would vote for legislation banning this practice and those that will not, and we all have a pretty good idea of who's who. Those of us who have our healthcare coverage...

    family dynamics of disabled children

    LydiaNN replied to ArwenEvenstar's topic in Pediatric

    I also know a few people with physical disabilities that refer to themselves as "crips", but my sense is that it is meant to mock how they are sometimes treated in society. I know a woman who is in...

    I lurked for quite a while, but not by choice. I couldn't figure out how to activate my

    Making Room at America's Inn for All God's Children

    LydiaNN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I know what I said and when I said it. Cutting and pasting only those words that you choose doesn't change the fact that I said home is defined by the occupant before you shared with us all the...

    Making Room at America's Inn for All God's Children

    LydiaNN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Once again, you twist my words. I said that the occupant defines their home. If you didn't consider Korea your home, then fine. Perhaps that was because you weren't planning to live there...

    LydiaNN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I still maintain that home is defined by the occupant. I just don't think legality enters into the definition of that

    Making Room at America's Inn for All God's Children

    LydiaNN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It sounds to me like you're jumping to conclusions again. You have no way of knowing whether he could work or not. Maybe he had to be picked up because he didn't have a

    LydiaNN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Where did it say this man doesn't work? Where I live, many undocumented workers live in squalid housing. There aren't enough Americans to scrub toilets or pick produce for the wages that these...

    Making Room at America's Inn for All God's Children

    LydiaNN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You misquoted me and continue to do so, even when I have stated, clearly, that that isn't what I said or meant. What you think this contributes to the conversation is beyond me, but I'm done...

    Making Room at America's Inn for All God's Children

    LydiaNN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I know what you said (after all, you did repeat it, several times, over and over...) Disagreeing with you isn't the same as advocating for children to be homeless. You deliberately contorted my words...

    Making Room at America's Inn for All God's Children

    LydiaNN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Let me be clear. I did not advocate for children to be on the streets. I am sure everyone else reading this thread knows that I don't want that to happen. I would appreciate if you would admit that...

    Please post where I said that anyone should be out on the streets or stop claiming that I said such a thing. Thank

    LydiaNN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I didn't say that it is better for children to be on the streets and I don't appreciate you making up such a ridiculous accusation. Could we possibly stick to the truth here? If not, this discussion...

    LydiaNN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't think this is a political issue... I know lots of conservatives and liberals (and moderates, like me, too) who believe that social programs aimed at keeping families together are well worth...

    Making Room at America's Inn for All God's Children

    LydiaNN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It isn't cheaper to house and feed 2 children than it is to provide for them and their parents, because you have to reimburse the care provider of those children. The minimum reimbursement per child...

    Yes, I do have a problem with it and I am incredulous at the notion that there are people who honestly believe the solution to poverty is the removal of children from their homes. Where, exactly, is...

    Would you choose a union job or non union job?

    LydiaNN replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    Since when it is always a matter of "wanting" to do anything? When you have children to provide for, you have to make hard choices to ensure that they're well cared for, and yes, sometimes that means...
