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

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

    Of course I did read...the things I posted came directly out of the link you provided. Seemingly now in contradiction to the things you now say. Your link says that every atheist is a weak atheist,...

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

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

    There are organized atheistic organizations. And I think it's important to draw a distinction between a church and the services it provides...not all services are direct injections of dogma or...

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

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

    Thanks for the link. So it says ALL atheists are weak atheists, and it opens with this; So all that said, an identifying reference to God by an atheist just seemed odd to

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

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

    Apparently I misunderstood this as well. Wasn't my intention...just seem contradictory to

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

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

    It was a pretty balanced reply that was designed to counter the mean things that were said about atheists. Didn't take a side or insult either atheists or religious people. That's it. And I...

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

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

    I must've misunderstood this

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

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

    I didn't see that it was about 'enforcing' their beliefs, but just living them and sharing them. I have no problem with that. And work isn't always or necessarily a 'public' setting. I don't subscribe...

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

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

    Overall an interesting thread, and it reinforces my belief that some people have trouble identifying themselves as anything but a victim...of something, anything, whatever they can find to use as a...

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

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

    Unfortunately, that's speculative...as noted; thanks. There are, however, UHC systems that heavily integrate private insurance...systems that are often held up as superior to ours. What IS missing...

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

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

    I would say that it's reasonable to note that there is health-care rationing in the US. I would think, however, that it wouldn't make sense to trade one rationing system for another. And I would...

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

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

    Yes, it is rationing...but I can't be drawn into supporting either solution. What I am inclined to do is say...this is what UHC leads to, and I don't want any part of

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

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

    i note your posts for the very objective presentations that they are, but i need to point out that i only respond to the issues you present. and i need to point out that rationing is not exclusive of...

  13. Where to live in PGH while attending Mercy Hospital School of Nursing?

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to Molly08's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I think the area of Oakland in front of UPMC looks a little rough 'architectually,' but I would live there if I were a student. Heck, I worked there, partied

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

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

    I don't know why it would seem that way; I've said that I support the Singapore UHC system, and I only introduced that because I was challenged to present what I would consider a reasonable...

  15. Where to live in PGH while attending Mercy Hospital School of Nursing?

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to Molly08's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Oakland and the Southside are close. Of course you realize that the SON is right next to Duquense University, so you might want to look for craigslist apartments close to Duquesne. Keep in mind that...

  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

    Judging by the appearance of some of the RN's I've come across, you can apparently work until you are

  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

    Might be. When I graduated 10 years ago, there was a fellow in my class who recently retired from the auto industry (assembly line). He was looking for something to do in retirement. He was 62 when he...

  18. Nurse and Firefighter

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to mfisher6's topic in General Nursing

    I was a paramedic and a firefighter, and worked at the fire department (and as a flight paramedic) while completing nursing school. I can't see any situation where I would ever go back; I can't stand...

  19. Getting out of the UPMC tuition forgivness

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

    I started working for UPMC in 1999...but keep in mind, I returned my check before it was learned that the contracts were unenforceable. Contact a lawyer. There are more than a few in the Pittsburgh...

  20. Socialized medicine and nurses pay...

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to RochesterRN-BSN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  21. 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 said they do. I remind people of this forgotten issue because one of the tactics used to support a UHC system is to attempt to discredit private insurance, using stories where private insurers...

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to RochesterRN-BSN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  23. Socialized medicine and nurses pay...

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to RochesterRN-BSN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In areas with limited and/or declining volunteers, there is no expansion of paid fire services UNLESS there is a subsequent increase of population. Even then, it is still rare. Of course you can dial...

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

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

    Proof? First, San Fransisco is not in Canada, so just because someone went to school in Canada, it doesn't mean Canada can claim UCSF as their own "world class cancer program." Especially if they...

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

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

    Well, that's interesting. Suddenly 'outsourcing' is OK? There are several problems with Canada exporting their patients. Operationally, when people are sick, they are generally at their most...
