Some doctors don't want to take medicare and medicaid, not because of the "red-tape" but because they do not get paid what they want to get paid. Dentists won't accept medicaid because they get paid 10% of what they want for a procedure and yes it i...

They say the evidenced based practice now is to check placement of NG tubes with an "end tidal CO2 detector" to ensure its not in the lung, of course. (this is just after dropping one), obtain an xray to visualize placement is correct, and test gast...

People either like me or hate me. That has been my experience in life. Im loud, opinionated, and strong in personality. I love my patients and will bust ass for them at all times. Nursing is like highschool. Well... most jobs are, especially wi...

i am a product of welfare! i hate sharing this stuff, but..... a. i was pregnant at 15. my first son was born under medicaid- my entire pregnancy was covered as was his birth and subsequent operations he needed after his birth. i got pregnant not be...

Still didn't hear any answers to pay rates in Vegas. There are loads of job openings on the net. My sister lives in vegas and we'd thought about moving there. I have experience in about every aspect of nursing at one time or another, but I don't w...

There is a post in the international section under phillipines titled "MOH-Saudi" that might have similar information. I know I was reading it just for fun and it had mentioned some pay in Saudi but not specifically in Dubai. Some of the girls and gu...

#1. Have u tried to get into a specialist now???? Takes a couple months....It will not change! Canada has the same wait time that we have overall. #2. No, the drug companies depend on development...If costs are contained and governed plus they tak...

i think what president obama wants to do is make healthcare accessible to all americans. this means: everyone! rich, poor, middle-class, etc. most of the poverty stricken americans have better access to healthcare then us hard workin middle class...

Hey guys.....I just got some job postings for agency nurses needed in California for "perm. assignments" and "temp assignments". The agency is tailoredhealthcarestaffing.com if anyone can use it. Experience was not listed as a requirment for emplo...

One thing I think is this.....whether we want this change or not, its gonna happen. Those of us that got into nursing programs to earn $100,000/year and not give a crud about humanity are going to be shuck outta luck! Those of us that got into nur...

First, let me say good luck to ya>>> I worked, because I had to, during nursing school. I have 4 boys and I was a single mom at the time. I went to school from 730am or 530am(during clinicals), got out of class about 3pm and worked from 3-...

I worked psych in a very tiny town and I live 1 block from the hospital. Our hospital allows us to leave our last names off the badge if we work in psych or ER. I never really thought of it as an issue until I had a psych pt try to track me down. ...

I don't think you'd see your taxes go up anymore then what u pay for insurance premiums now out-of-pocket to private institutions...that may or may not cover u if u became ill. Atleast, from what I understand, u couldn't be "dropped" from coverage a...

I'm so sorry your offended. I think everyone knows there are people that need SSD or SSI and have legitimate claim to it and SHOULD get it. I was just reporting some of the things I've seen....an working for a dr that encouraged and helped able bod...

Thank you Janfrn for all the merging of my redundant questions. I'm still trying to figure out how this site works. Sorry.

Honestly, I didn't see multiple threads on this. There are multitudes of threads about nurses in USA pushing for "universal healthcare." I haven't seen many from nurses abroad weighing in on their countries healthsystems. Plus, Im sort of new to t...

Hello, To all countries here I wanted to ask, What is your healthcare system like? Do you use a "socialized" healthcare system? The USA has a capitalistic approach to healthcare and it's not working. I just want to know how other countries do it....

Of course some Dr's are against it.....They can't get rich either. None of us would be getting rich off healthcare anylonger. If government controlled healthcare Dr's would get a Nationwide cap on what they could charge. If an office visit cost $1...

I agree that our country has it's issues with preventable disease. That is no joke! But I really thought what was driving up the costs of healthcare, inpart, was the CEO of Humana or any other Insurance company earning a higher six figure salary, d...

Yes, I do understand that concept also....But if u deduct your insurance premiums, copays, medication copay, blah blah blah. It would even out for most. I have 4 boys and we are constantly at the Dr for one reason or another. It breaks my heart to...

:yeah:I'm really getting tired of seeing the corporate giant aka the healthcare industry getting richer at the top while our jobs and our patients suffer the consequences. What do you all think about socialized medicine? Does anyone know a nurse th...

In Missouri LPNs are very hireable. I never had a problem as an LPN finding a job. my last lpn job was for the State of MO MRDD and made about 14.60's /hr. Nursing homes hire LPN before RNs because they can do everything n RN can do for less money...

I just got my schedule and looked at all the "open holes" on units I'm qualified to work. I could work everyday this month with only one day off!! I usually pick up 1 or 2 "holes" every two weeks...If I do more then that uncle Sam takes too much:ye...
