  1. Some thoughts from a new nursing student

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to Koyaanisqatsi-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you're inadvertently proving my point. What am I saying that is upsetting you so

  2. Some thoughts from a new nursing student

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to Koyaanisqatsi-RN's topic in General Nursing

    This is definitely something I think a lot about. Small behavior changes over a number of years can be very hard to detect. I do know that I have been burned out on jobs before, and keeping a...

  3. Some thoughts from a new nursing student

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to Koyaanisqatsi-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I just find it interesting that no one else saw it this way, yet you did. If there's no actual reason for your impression, then so be it. Given the other replies in this thread, at least a few...

  4. Reamed for ordering an ethics consult

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to WalkieTalkie's topic in General Nursing

    Man, this is an awful situation, but you handled it like a pro! Just stay calm and know that you are in the

  5. A universal single-payer, not-for-profit healthcare system could help lift tens of mi

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm definitely a liberal, but I find that I can't argue the fact that the vast majority of the people in our government do not represent the interests of the people. What can we do, though? It...

  6. Working as a stripper AND a nurse

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to inland18mempire's topic in General Nursing

    I used to date a stripper (pleeeease don't judge me, it was years ago!) and I can attest to all this being 100% true. A lot of women think they'll just dabble a bit in it and get out once they've made...

  7. Some thoughts from a new nursing student

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to Koyaanisqatsi-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Please understand that I agree with this 100% I would never suggest that, with regards to nursing, I know already 'how it's done'. I have no idea at this point. I am still very new and learning every...

  8. Some thoughts from a new nursing student

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to Koyaanisqatsi-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Why? I think I'm confused...what part of my post did you construe as 'tooting my horn'? Are you referring to my experience? I mentioned it only because I have a versatile frame of reference when I...

  9. Some thoughts from a new nursing student

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to Koyaanisqatsi-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! It was extremely tough to get in, so at this point I assume that all my classmates are at the very least competent. I find that when you assume good things in people, that you are not...

  10. Need help in relocating to dallas

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to amsvj's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi! Do you have any children? This may factor into your decision. There are a lot of fantastic urban neighborhoods around here with good rates, but probably aren't kid friendly because they don't have...

  11. Single-Payer Health Care Would Stimulate Economy

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm curious what your source is for this information. Can you provide it? This is a valid concern, but UHC would not be instituted overnight. There would be plenty of transitional time to address...

  12. Gay Nurses... help!

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to quakerkid's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Would you care to explain how being gay is related to being lazy and not working well with others?

  13. New TV Commercial...

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to RutterMama's topic in General Students

    Me and my wife do the same, except we also use Hulu so we can catch the daily show and colbert report. Hulu is pretty nifty if you want to ditch your

  14. New TV Commercial...

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to RutterMama's topic in General Students

    LOL, yes absolutely. The New England Journal of Medicine even had to relax their own standards with regard to conflict of interest, because nearly every study that crossed their desk was in some way...

  15. New TV Commercial...

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to RutterMama's topic in General Students

    That's exactly what I'm saying. I would never in my wildest dreams dare to tell someone else what they should do in their personal life, or criticize their beliefs. It's only when someone else's...

  16. New TV Commercial...

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to RutterMama's topic in General Students

    Ding ding, we have a winner. It truly is a shame that so many people actively want to disregard and ignore life's complexities. It's too bad, but all we can do is be a force to the contrary, and try...

  17. New TV Commercial...

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to RutterMama's topic in General Students

    That is unfortunate that happened. I'm sorry to hear about it. For most people though, that is not the experience they have. I myself have been, and many friends as well and have never had to go...

  18. New TV Commercial...

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to RutterMama's topic in General Students

    Well said! When we admit that there are shades of grey, and sometimes life is not always as simple as an ideology would have us believe, that's when we can be at our most compassionate and effective...

  19. New TV Commercial...

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to RutterMama's topic in General Students

    Have you ever been into a Planned Parenthood? This is not what they do, at

  20. New TV Commercial...

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to RutterMama's topic in General Students

    Ahh, now we're getting to the real issue. I agree with this 100%. When you think about it, advertising is meant to obfuscate clarity, and mislead people. Advertising drugs doesn't make that any...

  21. New TV Commercial...

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to RutterMama's topic in General Students

    They won't show abstinence commercials because literally every scientific study has shown that abstinence only education has the exact opposite of the intended effect. Doesn't sound helpful to

  22. Anyone starting NS tomorrow??

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to CardioNRS~DAWN's topic in General Students

    Yep, same here. I'm going to cram a bunch of stuff I'll no doubt not need at all into my car, but I don't want to be the guy who doesn't have

  23. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't honestly know. I think that is what we're fighting to fix! Another good point is that doctors may well be paid a little less under UHC. But, with the full force of a VERY large risk pool...

  24. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This example becomes irrelevant when you note that private care is already rationed, and prices are already artificially controlled by insurance companies. That is why (even under your own example)...

  25. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is what usually results in the 'sticker shock' that most people receive when they attempt to sign up for COBRA coverage. It's a sad thing,
