I have wondered for a long time, why the local college I attended would continue to turn out two classes of graduates each year over the last ten years since I graduated, while so few positions were available for the new nurses. Why would schools ove...

I, for one, have been paying for my own insurance for years now. Due to the ACA, my insurance company has already doubled my premiums (with highter deductibles and co-pays) as well as notifying as of Oct. 1, I will learn of my next increase and choic...

Ha ha, I rarely watch any TV news, so your little FOX news jab is oh so cute! Did you read the full text of the ACA? Kudos to you. Good luck with your government run healthcare. Yes, it is dictated from the government now. And by the way, CNN als...

Nancy Pelosi said we had to pass the bill so we can find out what's in it. Obama said he would hold the hearings on the bill open to the public on C-span, but he did NOT make that happen. Everything waS done behind closed doors. Who knows what is...

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, Michigan today for a visual if you need that. Dream ...

Where are you located? Maybe this is the trend to stretch dollars in healthcare. There's no such thing as free universal healthcare, something's got to give somewhere. No way will this new system be able to support the salaries nurses all want to be...

What radio show did all this krepp come from? ''= It's called "reading the bill with your own eyes and using your own brain".

http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianpress/article/ALeqM5jbjzPEY0Y3bvRD335rGu_Z3KXoQw By Jennifer Graham (CP) – 2 days ago SASKATOON — The incoming president of the Canadian Medical Association says this country's health-care system is sick and d...

Wait 'til you see how much the bureaucracy of government running a healthcare system eats up % of cost in administration. You are in dream land. Nurses, PT, OT, RT, MDs will have NO power. We are healthcare "workers". Government will set your limi...

With one broad stroke, you condemn anyone who questions this "reform". Healthcare "reform" by politicians does not mean they care about the American in the street, either. Visit the house bill: Page 30: A government committee will decide what tr...

While most American citizens are listening to the "pitchmen" selling us on "reform", read here what's happening: Hospitals agree to massive "savings" (in other words limiting services) Biden announces today http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conten...

Before being hired, I had to go through drug testing and disclose any medications I was taking. In that scenerio, the employer would be informed before hiring. Where it goes from there, I'm not sure.

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 President's goals. The details are *not* in the news...

"Who the heck is putting this nonsense into peoples' heads?" You might want to be certain that this rationing is only a "myth" before you go about discrediting these fears to senior citizens in your professional position. You may want to read Sen. ...

Ted Kennedy had his name on the bill which originated in the Senate by him, not the President.

FYI You might want to look up Ted Kennedy's HMO Act of 1973 for the formation of managed care.

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 proclaimed it would be a new Washington with transpa...

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 allowing NO discussion of it? How dishonest is it to ...

Uh, yeah. And the government, according to this plan deceptively put into a "stimulus" bill, will dictate to your doctor what he can and can't do to treat YOU. He will be required to follow the government's protocol, regardess of his own critical...

When do you start? Are they starting you with a few weeks of classroom orientation? If you love high acuity and you think fast in crisis situations, it will be a good fit for you. Its not unusual to have 23 weekers in the unit. I went into thei...

Has anybody else received a solicitation in the mail to become involved with this organization. The material lists no names of people behind the organization other than being signed by a RN. Their website healthcareunited.org is vague as well. I di...

"Imagine that you are assigned to work in field you hate the most...if you can do that, then I say sign up and take the money. But if you would rather die than work in _________, then don't." This could very well true. On the other hand, when I grad...

I'm curious - are you competing with other graduates whose education was subsidized by the hospitals? Here in south Florida, all the new grad positions seem to go to the students who funded their education that way. I had a difficult time finding a...
