  1. Single-payer advocates disrupt Senate Finance Committee.

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Obama and Baucus are quite aware of the concept of a single-payer system. Both of them have flatly rejected it. Maybe some would say out of ignorance, but I doubt it. The flip side is that they also...

  2. ANA membership?

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to firstyearRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Uh...why do they have to be moderate republicans? Conservatives care about nurses! Liberals care about nurses! I have to say...I'm just a tad insulted! And the solution is to endorse NO ONE. They can...

  3. Why do you believe what you believe, concerning your position on health care?

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm not following you; health is a condition, not a political construct. Are you saying healthCARE should be a right? So what? How does this make any difference? I choose to not disagree, because it...

  4. Single-payer advocates disrupt Senate Finance Committee.

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    How do you know? The AFL-CIO testified. So did the SEIU, the AARP, and Medicare. Experts in economics and health policy from Harvard, MIT, GWU, Penn (school of Nursing)...just for starters. I think...

  5. Why do you believe what you believe, concerning your position on health care?

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It's a waste of time because YOU are setting the conditions, and they are invalid. That is not how dialogue is conducted. And I assume nothing about your capacity to follow your own criteria for two...

  6. Single-payer advocates disrupt Senate Finance Committee.

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Too bad that these disrupters have no idea what they are talking about. There have been three hearings, and both physicians and nurses have been invited to attend and speak. Even the unions had...

  7. Questions for PA Paramedics

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to Lexxie's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    The hospital can't place the K on a pump for transfer for an ALS service either, unless they agree to send an RN. At last check, paramedics were not permitted to administer IV potassium in...

  8. Freedom of speech in health care.

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to advocateforsafety's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Of course, maybe the hospital was just trying to get on board with Obama's plan to have all health records digitized in five years. Obama said this would save $80 Billion annually in health care...

  9. Atlanta area nurses...I need to vent!!

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to TeeTee,RN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Congrats!...I knew there were jobs out there in

  10. Single-payer advocates disrupt Senate Finance Committee.

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    i won't post in a thread where the person who 'sets the criteria' doesn't even live up to those criteria, diminishes the most academic sources, and most importantly includes anecdotes. it would be a...

  11. Obama's Health Care plan. Is it a stepping stone to H.R 676, or a road to nowhere?

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm assuming you are speaking of Austria? Looks like a good system, but I don't think our congress would even give it a second look after a five minute review of the demographics. Of course it's...

  12. ANA membership?

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to firstyearRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I understand your point, but are you sure about that? Info seems to place ABA membership at 50% and AMA membership below 20%...and both of these agencies are equally, if not more controversial than...

  13. Single-payer advocates disrupt Senate Finance Committee.

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No doubt, and there is nothing wrong with that. Some, however, are trying to 'prove a point' by expressing their opinion. Please understand if I find it a bit errant. Peace to you as

  14. Single-payer advocates disrupt Senate Finance Committee.

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Thank you. I don't think it's possible to write a post on this subject that is not 'frustrating' to Canadians about their health-care system unless I just unconditionally agree with them, but to do so...

  15. Single-payer advocates disrupt Senate Finance Committee.

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    noted. good reply. second...if the article was supposedly "riddled" with typos, i'd like you to point them out. if you find one or two, that does not constitute "riddled." after that little endeavor,...

  16. Nurses who can't communicate with their Patients

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It seems to me that the original post was rationally based on an article which recognizes there is a problem with miscommunication related to the English skills of international nurses. I hardly think...

  17. Discuss Reform: excluding Single-Payer and "socialized" alternatives.

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The first thing that is essential to this discussion is an accurate representation of the issue. There are not 46 million (or whatever ballpark figure) Americans who are uninsured, or ineligible for...

  18. Nurses who can't communicate with their Patients

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It would be disingenuous to pretend that there aren't some people who struggle to understand RNs whose second language is English. Where I work, it's a mixed bag. It seems that half of them do very...

  19. Looking to relocate from Chicago to Pittsburgh

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to Marz's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    You will be insulted with the wages you are offered, but you have to remember that housing is MASSIVELY less expensive in Pittsburgh than in Chicago (around 50% cheaper, depending on which cost of...

  20. Questions for PA Paramedics

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to Lexxie's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    It appears, with the info available, that the medic did the right thing. I also appears that he has removed him/herself from the liability loop by refusing to transfer the patient under improper...

  21. Single-payer advocates disrupt Senate Finance Committee.

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    First off, don't call me amigo...the manner in which you've done it is condescending and unnecessary. I haven't been extending any such disrespect toward you, and I don't think it's unreasonable to...

  22. Single-payer advocates disrupt Senate Finance Committee.

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Your link was three anecdotal expressions about the system which don't serve to prove one way or another that a single-payer system works. I don't think I'm being unreasonable in sharing this; I would...

  23. Atlanta area nurses...I need to vent!!

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to TeeTee,RN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I stopped counting positions for Piedmont at 20. I understand they closed their residency program, but it may have just been a cost-containment method. Emory...greater than 20 positions. Same at...

  24. Single-payer advocates disrupt Senate Finance Committee.

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't know what you are doing. You claimed a higher rate of satisfaction among Canadians based on a non-scientific poll. I showed a higher rate of satisfaction among Americans based on a far more...

  25. Atlanta area nurses...I need to vent!!

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to TeeTee,RN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    If you only became an RN just for the purpose of job security, then yes...nursing was not the right choice for you. The market has tightened up, but there are jobs in Atlanta...I don't know what to...
