  1. Health Care is a right

    SilentMind replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No, thats not all they really mean. That's not what they mean at all. Coverage and choice are two seperate issues. Choice deals with things like the freedom to choose your physician and not being...

  2. Health Care is a right

    SilentMind replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Accidental pregnancies are like smokers accidentally getting cancer. It's not "oops, how'd that happen?". It's failure to act responsibly ahead of time. In a word, I'd say either lack of drive, and...

  3. Health Care is a right

    SilentMind replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Asking employers to pay insurance is like asking corporations to pay taxes. The employer doesn't pay your insurance. It's all one lump sum cost. Your benefits + your salary = your cost to your...

  4. Health Care is a right

    SilentMind replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Drive is finding a way that works, regardless of the differences in your environment. It's the law of nature that everyone and everything has to adapt to their surroundings. Of course this works for...

  5. Health Care is a right

    SilentMind replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You seem to be forgetting that these people produce a service/product. They're entitled to their profits. Unless you think they exist for no purpose but to serve in the capacity of a slave to anyone...

  6. Health Care is a right

    SilentMind replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As I said, I work in the service sector. It's actually quite easy to make ends meet. Well, not entirely...but thats only because I'm currently only working part time due to school. I can afford to...

  7. Health Care is a right

    SilentMind replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Preventing pre-existing conditions requirements in health insurance is fiscal death. No insurance companies can possibly survive under those circumstances, not without jacking up rates significantly....

  8. Health Care is a right

    SilentMind replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I dont want to go too in-depth on this, because it's off the main topic. I believe my earlier suggestions dealt with the underlying problems, in the sense that traditional college-oriented high school...

    SilentMind replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Congratulations on missing the point

  10. Health Care is a right

    SilentMind replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Education is a personal responsibility. I've taken an interest in learning and got a damn fine education from a community college at an average cost of under $3000 a year. Which I pay for entirely out...

    it amazes me, the things people think they're entitled

  12. Uninsurable because she was raped.....

    SilentMind replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    absolutely. rape is a horrible crime on the same level as homicide. i'm aware of the lifetime of psychological trauma that follows and that's only reinforced by constant testing as reminders. my...

  13. Uninsurable because she was raped.....

    SilentMind replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You can choose to take the dramatic road and pretend that the rape is the core issue here. It isn't. It's just the most emotional/shocking factor. She was denied insurance because of a technicality...

  14. Uninsurable because she was raped.....

    SilentMind replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Does anyone else find this deliciously ironic? I mean...aside from the unfortunate circumstances of the rape. She made a living as an insurance underwriter writing people off for the same...

  15. Where to Buy Textbooks for Cheaper?

    SilentMind replied to capella44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A+P Is one class that I don't feel you need the most up to date editions. I ended up getting one edition older on Amazon, all the same graphs/tables/diagrams, and even some helpful ones that were...

  16. Need some advice.

    SilentMind replied to JTomlinson91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should be alright for the first semester. Micro is a bit rough, but it'll be manageable with chem and english as long as you're willing to put in the time. I think the bigger problem would be...

  17. Microbilogy BCC or Dade

    SilentMind replied to jam911's topic in Florida Nursing

    By the way, are you planning on taking the nursing program at BC or

  18. Microbilogy BCC or Dade

    SilentMind replied to jam911's topic in Florida Nursing

    I had a great teacher for micro at bcc. Not necessarily easy, but he was very thorough with making sure you grasped the concepts. He went the extra mile to teach, not just to let you know what...

  19. Broward College RN Program Winter Jan 2010

    SilentMind replied to Kimmyann0527's topic in Florida Nursing

    Got your PM, but I dont have enough posts to respond. I'm in exactly the same boat right now. I screwed up and got C's in A+P 1 lecture and lab. So the only way I can make the 8 points for admission...

  20. Practical Nursing

    SilentMind posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a relatively new poster here. I've only responded to one or two threads, but i've read back in relative subforums almost to the beginning. I haven't had the opportunity to say it in each...

  21. Broward College RN Program Winter Jan 2010

    SilentMind replied to Kimmyann0527's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thats what it's looking like. Can anyone reccomend some material to be reviewing in advance to take some of the edge off? I'm going to have the winter semester free of classes, so I'd like to get...

  22. BCC Students taking Core at Sheridan Tech

    SilentMind replied to nlion87's topic in Florida Nursing

    The tests are strictly for the Sheridan programs. They have nothing to do with the health core as far as I know, you'd probably have to take them regardless. With BCC, you'd only be transferring the...

  23. Broward College RN Program Winter Jan 2010

    SilentMind replied to Kimmyann0527's topic in Florida Nursing

    I know exactly what you mean. When I signed up, It was just a course I wanted to get out of the way. But **** actually made it interesting enough that it made you want to learn. Every time you asked...

  24. Broward College RN Program Winter Jan 2010

    SilentMind replied to Kimmyann0527's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thats the best news I've heard all day. I was fretting about needing straight A's in APII and CHM this semester in the hopes it would bring me up to a 3.3-3.4ish so i'd have a chance. I didn't realize...

  25. Broward College RN Program Winter Jan 2010

    SilentMind replied to Kimmyann0527's topic in Florida Nursing

    I try to take most of my classes up at north, seeing as how I live over in springs. I'm signed up with ******** for both. I'm going to have to head down to central for the Health Careers core though....
