  1. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

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

    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

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

    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?

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Travel

    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

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

    Yeah...I remember the criticism I get when I use a two-year old

  5. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

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

    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?

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Travel

    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

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

    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

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

    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

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

    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

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

    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

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

    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?

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

    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?

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Travel

    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...

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

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

    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 that I may be the oldest male nursing student when I enter this fall

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to mmrush1's topic in Male Nursing Students

    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. I think that I may be the oldest male nursing student when I enter this fall

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to mmrush1's topic in Male Nursing Students

    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)

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    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)

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    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)

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    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)

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    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)

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    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)

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    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)

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    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...
