OMG!!! I am in!!!!!! DNP?????

what did your letter say????

Everytime I get an email notification for this thread I am hoping it is someone with news they got accepted. I hope it is soon..I'm getting cranky ?

Thank you! I will have to meditate until then. I am so anxious ?

You are incorrect. He just discussed it about 30 min ago at the PA townhall. He used the VA as an example of what his healthcare plan would look like...government run. You would not be able to have your own private insurance.

Have you ever tried to find a PCP for a traditional Medicare patient? Both Medicare and Medicare have low reimbursement rates. As a case manager, in my state, I find Medicaid is better for the patient. More dme is covered, patient can get a home provider, transportation to appts provided, little or no copay for meds that even Medicare will not cover.

All patients would be covered but by a government run plan. Many doctors already refuse to see Medicare patients because the reimbursement is low. Can you imagine when the government knows the doctor has no choice how much less the reimbursement will be? I imagine that FNPs will be doing alot more instead of a doctor, but without the increased pay.

None would be incorrect. Bernie plan does include getting rid of private insurance completely. The whole point of his bill is to replace private insurance with a government run plan.(Watch his town hall tonight. ) Private care was not clear wording.However, I didn't mention anything about delivery of care. I would assume that doesnt change only how it is managed.

No ... I wish I had the guts to call and ask.

Then why do I keep refreshing and refreshing and refreshing my emails

Bernie medicare for all plan ends all private care.

No answer yet... from other threads i have seen answers as early as first week of may to early june.

There are lots of openings at LTCs because there is a need. The jobs are not glamorous, but CNAs are valuable in any setting for that reason. I work in a geriatric psyche ward and many of the patients are disabled, incontinent, and tyrannical geriatrics as you say, but they are also human beings that deserve respect. I find the job very rewarding.

Thats great. Cant wait till June.

That is not a no! You dont know how far down the list you are. Apply until they say YES!
