  1. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    Some of us would. I don't expect anyone to pay for me to take a year off work to have a baby. Certainly, but I'm not trying to use anecdotal stories to support my point...which is why I pointed...
  2. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    You don't have to tell me, but let me post 2-3 year old references and the next post will be an attempt to discredit my position because of the 'age' of the data. Fortunate for some, they get special...
  3. Travel nursing -- is it dead?

    It might be a tough sell to convince the nursing community that travel nurses don't enjoy an overall better compensation package. I am an "employee" of three different travel agencies; I haven't taken...
  4. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    Yeah...I remember the criticism I get when I use a two-year old
  5. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    Your physician cannot provide any care which the gov't won't pay for. And policy or positions cannot be based on anecdotal experiences; the statistics and programs say something different. I didn't...
  6. Travel nursing -- is it dead?

    You are going to have to point out where I ever said that. I mentioned money, but I never even implied that it was "only for the payrate." If you are going to direct criticism for that theory, you...
  7. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    My health insurance, as a percentage of my paycheck, is smaller than most of my other essential expenses. And I don't know how you can be sure that our employers wouldn't have to supplement the cost;...
  8. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    sounds just like me when i was in college...except even though i have some $$ now, i still eat a lot of rice and beans because i'm just a frugal kind of guy. i remember needing my wisdom teeth pulled...
  9. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    Actually, my insurance is pretty good...I spend a little extra for it, but like I said, it's because it's important to me, and I still spend less than I do on transportation, and far less than I spend...
  10. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    This is a sorely innaccurate misgeneralization. My insurance company does not pick and choose on a case by case basis. And the last thing someone from a universalized country can do is be critical of...
  11. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    Because it is said time-and-time again, I feel it's important to point out that in systems where the gov't is making the decisions, people don't alternately have choices that privately-insured people...
  12. Pittsburgh Pay Rates?

    This changes from quarter to quarter, but UPMC has typically reserved any 'incentives' for new grads, traditionally from one of their four related nursing programs. You still might be able to...
  13. Travel nursing -- is it dead?

    I am not a traveler, but several of my friends are travelers...and Facebook is a great thing! I just received my "Healthcare Traveler" magazine this weekend, and there was an article in there about...
  14. Working as a GN or wait????????

    Work as a
  15. I am watching Michael Moore's "Sicko" for the first time....

    I never argued the 'ethics' or morals of malpractice. What you can't deny, however, is that the massive awards and the subsequent practice of defensive medicine results in more expensive healthcare....
  16. I think you and I are thinking alike on this issue, and I believe that delaying the MS(N) is wise because of the evolution of career and thought. I originally thought about pursuing CRNA (motivated by...
  17. My OPINION...the one that will allow you to challenge the NCLEX in the shortest amount of time...assuming it is affordable to you. My OPINION...very little of what we do as RN's is learned in nursing...
  18. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    That actually makes sense to me...of course...not, I'm not going to say it. Wait, yes I am...! An agnostic who is atheistic toward any known supernatural constructs, and skeptical of any unknown or...
  19. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    Well, by my observation, you are simply agnostic...minus the atheist part...in spite of the straightforward post I originally read identifying you just as an atheist. But it matters not. We can call...
  20. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    I completely agree...I see so many people gain substantial benefit from their organized worship, and I would find it disingenuous to discredit or demean their practice. It's just not for me. And I...
  21. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    All of what you say is reasonable, but the last sentence. Agnosticism is not weak atheism. Not my opinion. It's fact. Otherwise, you'll have to explain to the Christian Agnostics how they are...
  22. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    I understand the function and philosophy of the UU church, but I have to admit...I don't "get it." It might be the part of me that is averse to organized religion...kind of transfers to the similar...

  24. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    I did read it. And weak atheists are not "the same thing" as agnostics. Even the link you provided doesn't say that. An agnostic in an of itself does not deny the existence of a god. An atheist (and...
  25. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    Kind of like "nude" pantyhose? I think an atheistic organization would be a great idea; it might reduce the feelings that some atheists have about their position, and also show skeptics the great...
