    SilentMind replied to SilentMind's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Your information is incomplete. You can say the other hospitals donate 3x more to the community. But that means absolutely nothing unless you can relate that to the resources each hospital has...

    SilentMind replied to SilentMind's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So...honestly, your claim is faulty at best. That's like comparing the charitable donations of bill gates and an average working

  6. All I want for Christmas is a single payer plan!

    SilentMind replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Easy? Keeping costs down? Reign in malpractice lawsuits. Premiums/coverage/preexisting conditions/etc....Take the government out of it once and for all. Turn insurance over to the free market, not to...

  7. Health Care Reform

    SilentMind replied to Stickyrunner325's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Pathetic really, the sentiments of this country. Noone actually cares what the effects on this country are. Noone thinks that far ahead. Health care reform is a lot like Obama, really. Noone actually...

    SilentMind replied to mrs.ant0125's topic in Florida Nursing

    Not entirely sure. I'm 95% it won't matter. I'm ashamed to admit...i've taken anatomy more then my fair share. No teacher has ever taught from the book. At most, they'll just add a reference to a...

  9. Ryan White HIV/AIDS Act Extended... eliminates travelers HIV entry ban

    SilentMind replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It's the same thing governments did by restricting access to people with H1N1 symptoms. It's just a precautionary measure in the interest of public safety. It doesn't guarantee anything, but it offers...

    SilentMind replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1235921/Midwives-meltdown-A-NHS-worker-reveals-understaffed-maternity-wards-sinking-chaos.html Despite the hype, the end product is always the same. In the...

  12. A tear shed for nationalized medicine.

    SilentMind replied to SilentMind's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That's kind of the point. There are a dozen threads about individual cases used to prove how horrible the health care system is. I was trying to show how silly that is. This article is tragic, but...

  13. Health Care Reform bill jeopardizing the future of nursing?

    SilentMind replied to AVMadd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I've never much cared for your opinion. But this is the truth. To the OP, don't feel too guilty about not having the slightest clue what this health care reform is actually about. The majority of the...

  14. Health Care Reform

    SilentMind replied to Stickyrunner325's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm pretty sure the public option was already shot down in the senate. Ideally, a public option competing with private companies to keep costs down would be a great benefit to the consumer. That isn't...

    SilentMind replied to Stickyrunner325's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    http://apnews.myway.com/article/20091201/D9CAD2M00.html Actually, the CBO's findings were that it would reduce premiums for those working at large companies by 0-3% employees of small companies will...

  16. How do women really percieve us?

    SilentMind posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    I came across this thread over in the general nursing discussions, (https://allnurses.com/pre-nursing-student/trying-decide-whether-441662-page2.html#post3998389) and honestly...I'm just shocked. It's...

  17. Admission Chances in nursng with a F?

    SilentMind replied to DannyA's topic in General Nursing

    If you choose not to transfer any credits, I don't think they'll be any the wiser. You'll start fresh and it won't be an issue. They won't make an exception by any means. Either they look at the total...

  18. Admission Chances in nursng with a F?

    SilentMind replied to DannyA's topic in General Nursing

    Every school as different admission criteria. Most schools go off a point system. This can be a combination of test scores, gpa, previous medical experience, etc....GPA is usually the biggest factor....

  19. Is This Discrimination?

    SilentMind replied to kemkem's topic in General Nursing

    Employers, at least in right to work states, have the right to set whatever conditions they want. If a doctor wants to live the good life and only hire big breasted nurses barely out of their teens,...

  20. With all the competitiveness is it worth it?

    SilentMind replied to 45whenimdone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't feel bad. Noone is that focused on 19. It's the kind of thing that only comes with age. College is wasted on the young. But in any case, nursing school is so far beyond stressful, it's...

  21. How do women really percieve us?

    SilentMind replied to SilentMind's topic in Men in Nursing

    i wouldn't go that far. i merely said i was interested in it. my fascination with the subject is fueled in large by the part that i've never actually had to witness the act firsthand. it may very well...

  22. How do women really percieve us?

    SilentMind replied to SilentMind's topic in Men in Nursing

    it's not even about bashing and controlling, it's the fact that this shadow is hanging over all of us, all the time. and if you do something even the slightest bit out of the ordinary, at the drop of...

  23. Is This Discrimination?

    SilentMind replied to kemkem's topic in General Nursing

    I doubt it's the former. They already offered her the job, and they wouldn't use an excuse that could be as remedied as easily as switching to

  25. Is This Discrimination?

    SilentMind replied to kemkem's topic in General Nursing

    You didn't come across like that, and I'm sorry if you misconstrued my reply as critical. I understand that you're just looking for a solution to the problem. I would strongly advise against trying to...
