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 screenings, etc, services that prevent more costly trea...

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 religious affiliated institutions that operate primarily ...

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 Medicare (public). Now which is more efficient, public o...

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

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 8 more states mandated contraceptive coverage to ...

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 regardless of their ability to pay? you can certainl...

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 insurance in the exchanges. http://www.kff.org/hea...

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 surveys?

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 determining care, not some zealot legislator tryin...

Come August 2012 no co-pays for preventive care via the PPACA! I believe, this includes, cancer screenings, immunizations, flu-shots, contraception, etc. http://www.kff.org/healthreform/upload/8219.pdf Hurray!

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 me!

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 interviews, narrative essays describing health ca...

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

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 day

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 insecurities, doing away with the waitlist is bette...

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 school anatomy and physiology are separate classes....

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 concerning elective surgeries. Seems everyone knew som...

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 on-going basis. If a situation arises where an altern...

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 the program. I considered Westminster as well, but...

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 considered UVU's program, the drive is certainly a factor a...

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 schools have only 10% of higher education student...

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 talked to on the waitlist, were under the impression...

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 or TI-84, it should help. You can look up z-score...

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 did meet with deron and communicate with someone fro...

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 will use a more broad term like direct patient car...
