  1. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    everwonder_y replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The HHS preventive care provisions is based in value-based insurance design. That is that high value services like cancer screenings, immunizations, family planning, cholesterol and hypertension...

  2. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    everwonder_y replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't see name calling or emotional appeals, just rebuttals using facts. So you object to the 8 states that don't allow churches to be exempt, but what about the 28 states that don't exempt...

  3. Health care a right or privilege

    everwonder_y replied to jcasablanca's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Government run insurance spends ~6% on administrative overhead, while private insurance spends ~20-30% in administrative overhead. Medicare Advantage (private) costs 14% more than traditional...

  4. Forced ultrasounds

    everwonder_y replied to nurse2033's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Eh, women have been oppressing other women about as long men have been oppressing other

  5. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    everwonder_y replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    this is not at all accurate, 28 states already mandate contraceptive coverage by employer sponsored health plans. http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/tgr/07/2/gr070206.pdf ^^this is from 2004, since then...

  6. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    everwonder_y replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    i think this is a simple assertion. healthcare (emergency, preventive, specialty, etc) is typically accessed through health insurance in the us. do you think that people should receive health care...

  7. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    everwonder_y replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Under the PPACA if you make under 133% of the FPL you qualify for Medicaid. Those with incomes between 133%-400$ of the FPL receive a subsidy (on sliding scale according to income) to purchase health...

  8. Problem facing healthcare

    everwonder_y replied to newgraduate52012's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Typoagain, I'm not necessarily disputing what you're saying, but can you provide a citation about Medicare reimbursement rates being influenced by patient satisfaction

  9. Forced ultrasounds

    everwonder_y replied to nurse2033's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Despicable legislation. VA's mandatory ultrasound is now set up to performed 24 hours before the procedure. So much for small government and reduced spending. The clinician and the patient should be...

  10. Vent about healthcare

    everwonder_y replied to MomRN0913's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Come August 2012 no co-pays for preventive care via the PPACA! I believe, this includes, cancer screenings, immunizations, flu-shots, contraception, etc....

  11. Poll: Was your anatomy & physio separate or combined?

    everwonder_y replied to DBK99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school offers them separate. Anatomy and Chemistry are both prerequisites for Physiology. Anatomy and Physiology were each, 4 units with a lab. Chemistry 5 units with a lab. Worked well for

  12. SLCC changes admission standards, eliminates wait list, Aug 2011,

    everwonder_y replied to kdrm's topic in General Nursing

    A little disappointed in how vague it is. Particularly compared to some of the other health science programs updated admission requirements. Like, some of the allied health FAQ's mention formal group...

  13. SLCC changes admission standards, eliminates wait list, Aug 2011,

    everwonder_y replied to kdrm's topic in General Nursing

    Oh man, I was hoping they would post a point break down of criteria used to rate applicants. Anyway, good luck on your

  14. SLCC changes admission standards, eliminates wait list, Aug 2011,

    everwonder_y replied to kdrm's topic in General Nursing

    oh man! A broken link?! After all this build-up? Boo! Hmm, maybe I should muster up some initiative and call... ETA Okay, gave them a call, they said it should be up by the end of the

  15. SLCC changes admission standards, eliminates wait list, Aug 2011,

    everwonder_y replied to kdrm's topic in General Nursing

    I guess, (even though I don't want to admit it), I unconsciously hoped to have some kind of guarantee to fall back on, by having a place on SLCC's waitlist. Though, when I look outside myself and my...

  16. I am so frustrated with Anatomy & Physiology :(

    everwonder_y replied to Jonahyona's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I second the suggestions to check out the Vark learning style. Very helpful. I have a good background in math and chem so I thought anatomy would be no big thing. Hah, got my ass handed to me! At my...

  17. I pay to hear the instructor... not your stories (rant. beware)

    everwonder_y replied to grownuprosie's topic in General Students

    Oh good God! I had to tolerate this in my pathophysiology class. It was a FIVE HOUR CLASS, once a week. Drove me up the wall. Particularly, since a lot of these stories were judgmental and biased...

  18. SLCC changes admission standards, eliminates wait list, Aug 2011,

    everwonder_y replied to kdrm's topic in General Nursing

    I got an email on Wednesday apprising me of my new start date. It was a semester earlier, Spring 2016. LOL Along with this: "- Students will no longer be moved up on the acceptance list on an...

  19. SLCC changes admission standards, eliminates wait list, Aug 2011,

    everwonder_y replied to kdrm's topic in General Nursing

    Smart to ask about clinicals. Also, I think the amount of clinical hours makes the program. I noticed the UofU's nursing FAQ added recently; students will complete just over 1,000 clinical hours in...

  20. SLCC changes admission standards, eliminates wait list, Aug 2011,

    everwonder_y replied to kdrm's topic in General Nursing

    Aw, thanks. I do really have my heart set on the U, but I know their BSN program is super, super competitive so I'm hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst. :) No, I haven't really...

  21. how can these schools get away with SCAMMING people?

    everwonder_y replied to pixiestudent2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I sort of agree with you, however, many students finance these programs with federally backed student loans. Nearly half of all federal student loan defaults occur at for-profit schools, although the...

  22. SLCC changes admission standards, eliminates wait list, Aug 2011,

    everwonder_y replied to kdrm's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, the U's BSN admissions applications are open now and close Jan 15, 2012, so I think I'll know by March 2012. Interesting about the waitlist drop-off seats going to new applicants. Other's I...

  23. New to Nursing, Having trouble in Stats

    everwonder_y replied to kelseyyy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took stats online (through Pearson, I think?) and preferred it that way. All of the homework and quizzes were online, while exams were on campus at the testing center. Get a good calculator, a TI-85...

  24. SLCC changes admission standards, eliminates wait list, Aug 2011,

    everwonder_y replied to kdrm's topic in General Nursing

    crap, i can't remember where i got that "half" from? i will check my letter again, i didn't attend the info session as i had already given up on slcc and have been aiming for the u's program, but i...

  25. SLCC changes admission standards, eliminates wait list, Aug 2011,

    everwonder_y replied to kdrm's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, wanted to add, I don't think they will specifically require CNA work experience, opposed to other healthcare work experience, CNA's are called different things all around the valley. I think they...
