  4. Could Obamacare cause a shortage in nursing again

    tulip928 replied to RescueNinja123's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  5. New national nurses union forms

    tulip928 replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Look what unions did to the American car industry. It's dead. High pay scale, "cadillac" health benefits, and pensions made American cars overpriced and quality lacking. Look at photos of Detroit,...

  6. MA's in hospitals, replacing RNs ?

    tulip928 replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    tulip928 replied to oramar's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    tulip928 replied to female12233's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    tulip928 replied to MacERRN's topic in General Nursing

    Obama's healthcare plans call for cuts in medicare, medicaid and an "increase in productivity". If paramedics cost less than nurses, and can legally provide the same services, that would fit the...

    tulip928 replied to CinnScorpStudent's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Did you know healthcare reform was in this "stimulus" bill before you read about it on this thread? I doubt most Americans know it's in there. Don't you find that a bit strange since this president...

  19. Health Provisions Slipped into Stimulus Package

    tulip928 replied to CinnScorpStudent's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    All you say is worth examining. However, how dishonest and NOT TRANSPARENT is it of OUR lawmakers to pass a HIDDEN healthcare bill without reading it, allowing the public to know about it, and...

  20. Health Provisions Slipped into Stimulus Package

    tulip928 replied to CinnScorpStudent's topic in Activism, Healthcare
