  1. Why didn't someone bring in this up in school?

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to Mslee533's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I feel and understand your pain. There is very little preparation for RN/MD clinical communication...if any at all. Unfortunately, it's not tested on in the NCLEX, and most nursing programs are very...

  2. Hospitals near gettysburg

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

    If you are willing to try Carroll Hosp. Center, you might also think about Washington Hospital Center in Hagerstown. And there are two hospitals in York...the other one is York Memorial. And if you...

  3. Remember to exercise

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to patrick1rn's topic in Health, Stress Management

    P90x, eh? That must be what the chuckehead in the apartment above mine must be doing every morning... Well, he'll look good when he's

  4. "I love it when a man takes a woman's job."

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to algebra_demystified's topic in Men in Nursing

    In general, I suspect this post might've been a bit unappreciated! I admit, I prefer "no hugs" from patients as well. I get lots of them from my female coworkers, and I LOVE them, but patients...hands...

  5. transport nursing documentation

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to nrgh's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    I'm assuming you mean some kind of charging program? Patient care documentation? The standard of care is becoming an electronic record, and it may eventually become required. If you go that route, I...

  6. where do you get your rotor stuff?

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to flymetothemoon's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    I tried a liplight, but found it to be too clumsy and not bright enough. I then bought some velcro and a couple high-intensity lights like the one below and I would slap it (via the velcro) on my...

  7. Parking Lot Code....

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to Christie RN2006's topic in General Nursing

    LOL! I initially expected this thread to be about Parking Lot Ettiquette! As a former flight nurse and paramedic, I have encountered similar situations, and sometimes I just wondered the statistical...

  8. Do we really need a "Certified Nurses Day" on March 19th each year???

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

    Eh...why not. Whatever we can do to get them to acknowledge the functions of nursing. It's no less silly as the popular "Daisy Awards" program or the "Kudos" option in this

  9. UA/UVC Lines and blue fingers/toes

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to nicu4me's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Can I just say that my first impression was NEC; I've seen 'blue bellies' on babies with dead gut. Also, I may have missed the underlying diagnosis, but if this baby had a ductal dependent defect or...

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

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

    moore ended the movie claiming that every european country offers free healthcare to their citizens via a single-payer system. two lies in this; 1. it's not free, and 2.many european countries have...

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

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

    The reason their infant mortality rate is so "low" is because they either don't actually know what it is, or they are lying about it. It's ludicrous to think they have a mechanism in place to collect...

  12. Socialized medicine and nurses pay...

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

    I didn't make an argument. I made a two-sentence comment about the exchange rate...which is accurate and based on referenceable material. Seems to be far more accurate than a bunch of anecdotal...

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

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

    And Tony Scott did a great job with True Romance, but it's still

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

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

    Most do know it when they see it, but it doesn't mean it's not insulting. Unless you are saying we can insult people as long as we are sarcastic 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'm sorry, but where is this supposed more up-to-date information? This was just published this week; do you think they ignored available references that were more

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

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

    Canadians are experiencing medical bankruptcy as well. A UHC system has not stopped that. And I'd rather go bankrupt than die

  17. union pro or con

    Honnête et Sérieux replied to mark3274's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Figures. If the ranking does not fit your ideology, just criticize the methodology. Show some evidence. Proof of the claim that a union hospital is safer. I take it back...one other similar tertiary...

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

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

    Well, I suppose there is no discussion to be had if we are just going to ignore the information that was presented. And I understand that you don't like it when someone brings out the "mine is better...

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

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

    By the very definition of an exaggeration, it is NOT true. More hyperbole. I live in "the south" as well, and your last statement is another grossly inaccurate insulting

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

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

    http://www.ncpa.org/pub/BA649 Number 6, "Americans spend less time waiting for care than patients in Canada and the U.K. Canadian and British patients wait about twice as long - sometimes more than a...

  21. Socialized medicine and nurses pay...

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

    Just keep in mind with today's exchange rate, the pay rate of $40.43 is equal to about $33.00 US. The Canadian loonie is worth about 20% less than the US

  22. Socialized medicine and nurses pay...

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

    It says that the gov't could not sustain two of their gov't health and registry offices, and is now using private registry services. I also didn't see any references to anyone dying in the links about...

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

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

    Because it doesn't work. Every experiment in universalizing health care in the US (Massachusetts, Hawaii), either quickly collapsed, or immediately was identified as

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

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

    Uh, yeah, it doesn't...because you are the only one to introduce these connections. No one but you has made these insulting, irrelevant, and pointless generalizations. I could just as easily make lame...

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

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

    Sorry about your pain. If you waited five years, it sounds like it was an elective surgery. Elective surgeries are not priorities in socialized systems. Canada totally stopped doing them several times...
