  2. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

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

    Increased taxes, yes. This is the same as any tax increase, even though you may not 'need' the services provided as a result. Such as increased police and fire protection, or national defense....

  3. Let's stop counting on charity to pay medical bills

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

    There was also a lack of initiative by many voters initially for things such as civil and gay rights. This proves nothing, and the tide is turning in vast favor of UHC....

  4. Let's stop counting on charity to pay medical bills

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

    Not sure why you're quoting this. It has nothing to do with what I said. Care to elaborate? No, they are not just opinions, actually. They are facts to which you are unwilling and, apparently,...

  5. Let's stop counting on charity to pay medical bills

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

    Well, unfortunately you've done it again. You didn't respond to a single one of the cogent points I made in the previous post directed at you. Instead, you're attempting to reframe the argument to...

  6. Let's stop counting on charity to pay medical bills

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

    This, right here, is the central issue at hand. Unless opponents of UHC think that Americans are uniquely incapable of doing what the rest of the world already has done, then there is no reason for us...

  7. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

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

    You're 100% right, of course. But unfortunately most people will not think of it as critically as you have. They just watch Fox News and listen to conservative talk radio tell them what they want to...

  8. Let's stop counting on charity to pay medical bills

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

    You're a Christian, huh? Interesting. I wonder what Jesus would say about our current 'pay for play' private health insurance system. I'm guessing that, if you've ever read a single page of the New...

  9. Overwhelmed!!!!!

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to sh1901's topic in General Students

    It shouldn't be more than a few dollars per textbook. A bit more if you have them punch the holes, etc. It's really not too expensive at

  10. Overwhelmed!!!!!

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to sh1901's topic in General Students

    Even better, have Kinko's or something similar debind your books! It's pretty cheap and this way you can only take with you the sections you really need. Don't forget to laugh at your classmates...

  11. What field of Nursing as a RN is the "BEST BANG" for the Tuition Buck!?

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

    Well, the first impression is the only one to go off of. I work with what I get.

  12. What field of Nursing as a RN is the "BEST BANG" for the Tuition Buck!?

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

    Got some bad news for you, buddy. If you are this easily bothered and irritable, then healthcare/nursing ain't for you. No amount of money is going to make it worth it for you to jump through the...

  13. So uhh...stockings?

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    Don't reckon I'll get many replies with this, but what the hell! I just got into an RN program here, and during orientation the nursing director told me that they highly, highly recommend that...

  14. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

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

    I appreciate you asking this, but seeing as how this person has the same ignorant, utterly false, and pathetic arguments as every other neo-con, I can promise you he or she will not bother to quote...

  15. Ten Reasons Why American Health Care Is so Bad

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

    Of course. But you might not want to frame it as utter fact, when in fact you are wrong. And you have been proven wrong by history and every single other industrialized country that exists other than...

  16. Ten Reasons Why American Health Care Is so Bad

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

    Hi there...do you have any information, sources, references, or anything other than the pure gut conjecture on which this is based? I'm going to take a

  17. Ten Reasons Why American Health Care Is so Bad

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

    So let me guess, you believe that a father should be able to stop child support payments, because, hey...who's fault is that? Please, your argument is as ridiculous as it is

  18. Atheists? How do you deal with religious people?

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

    I just meant it seemed like it was being stated that the research was adequate. I might have misunderstood! Sorry for the derail, now back to regularly scheduled programming.

  19. Atheists? How do you deal with religious people?

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

    I understand that this is not meant to be a religious debate, but the fact remains that there is no substantial research on the subject you are describing. There has been nothing published in a...

  20. Atheists? How do you deal with religious people?

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

    Religion has nothing whatsoever to do with genetics or biology. Of course, humans have always wondered where we came from and how we got here, etc. But that in and of itself has nothing to do with...

  21. Atheists? How do you deal with religious people?

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

    I'm a Buddhist, but I think I can help you here. When a lot of people ask you to pray for them, or pray for anything really, they don't usually mean it literally. Often times they just want your kind...

  22. Recession Getting Worse

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Hang in there. This is going to hurt for awhile, for nearly everyone. Things do always improve eventually though!

  23. VENT: Lazy People!!!!

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to chnc1024's topic in General Students

    Welcome to life? This is how it is everywhere. There will always be people who don't hold up their end of the deal. You have to deal with it as best you can (which does not include freaking out and...

  24. Mom & Dad were right: I'm a screw-up

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

    Heh, I wonder if he's passed by now and is a nurse already. How about an update,

  25. International Nurses in the USA

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

    Don't worry so much! I am in the process of learning another language as well, and what I realized was that when I speak to someone who doesn't speak my language natively, that it's ok when they don't...
