  1. Doctor tells patients he will quit if President Obama is re-elected

    msn10 replied to chicarn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This has very little to do with Obama or Romney care. Obama is cutting Medicare reimbursement by 15% across the board next year (as admitted by Obama last night in the debates.) This is in addition...

  2. Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    msn10 replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    First of all OP, talk about a hot topic! Nice choice Second The evidence you are using is based on other countries' successes and failures. We have a completely different culture and I do not...

  3. Am I too old to become an NP?

    msn10 replied to SeaH20RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    RNmom Heck no! Go for it! I think it is great when us 40 year olds go out and get even more education. All your years of experience with more education - your patients will be so

  4. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    msn10 replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I can't say I read every post, but I think the real problem is the requirement of staying no matter what. Seriously, who cares about the accommodations when the world is falling apart? Also, if I am...

  5. First month off orientation...reflections..

    msn10 replied to Damask's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Love your post OP. I am a coordinator for a nurse residency program and I am going to share this post with them if you don't

  6. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    msn10 replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I agree and well said. Almost every area of the US is in some type of natural disaster zone. Here it is horrendous snow storms, occasional flooding, and tornados. We have disaster plans and non of...

  7. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    msn10 replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    For all of you who don't have children, please respect the fact that those of us with kids are raising the next generation and we have a great deal of responsibility to our children and our patients,...

  8. Obama health care law upheld.

    msn10 replied to strawberryfields's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I completely agree with you. I actually love change, however, we aren't changing our culture in a positive way. The ACA doesn't change behaviors and if the reimbursements are going to be as low as...

  9. How many of you are forced to clock out to stay back and chart?

    msn10 replied to HelloM1M1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You don't need a union to solve the problem, it is against the law and you can write your nursing board and the your state's labor board as well. Hold off on the attorney until you go to your state's...

  10. New grad hired into Trauma ICU in a Level 1 Trauma hospital

    msn10 replied to rnfeb2011's topic in Critical Care

    I am instructor (and ICU nurse) who teachers preceptors how to teach. So the first question I would ask your manager is "Can I extend my orientation to a 12-week precepted 1:1 orientation?" I know...

  11. Obama health care law upheld.

    msn10 replied to strawberryfields's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes, I am a proponent of everyone having health insurance, but again, what will the reimbursement rates be like? Medicare or Medicaid rates? Than a large number of MD's and NP's will not provide...

  12. Obama health care law upheld.

    msn10 replied to strawberryfields's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Stop being a nanny state for everyone. I gave my ideas before and I said I was in favor of everyone having to have insurance. That is mostly because of our country's newest culture or more takers...

  13. Obama health care law upheld.

    msn10 replied to strawberryfields's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That isn't personal responsibility, that is a penalty for not doing what the government is forcing you to do. Don't get me wrong, I think people should be required to have some type of minimal...

  14. Obama health care law upheld.

    msn10 replied to strawberryfields's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Not sure where on this thread they are being belittled. Simply stating the fact that being overweight or having literacy or addiction issues can impair or destroy your health and those issues must be...

  15. Obama health care law upheld.

    msn10 replied to strawberryfields's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am sorry for your family's pain, but don't you think the healthcare system would have more money and procedures/treatments would be cheaper if it wasn't inundated with people who had more self...

  16. Obama health care law upheld.

    msn10 replied to strawberryfields's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Do you think that just because people have health care that death number will go down? "It is about prevention" that is all I hear lately and I agree, but seriously, how much money can we spend to...

  17. Obama health care law upheld.

    msn10 replied to strawberryfields's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I wasn't jumping all over you, I was giving my opinion and you made a comment about my post. Just a rebuttal. I agree with you that the plan will not work for everyone. If the government is not...

  18. Obama health care law upheld.

    msn10 replied to strawberryfields's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am not quite sure where you read that I said the plan would be "good for everyone?" Not even close. There could be soooooo many other options attempted before this law goes into effect. How about if...

  19. Obama health care law upheld.

    msn10 replied to strawberryfields's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think it is hard for anyone to have a educated opinion on the matter as I am sure most people have not read the entire law, much less have a degree in economics to understand the effects (both good...

  20. Top 10 Reasons Why I Love ObamaCare

    msn10 replied to simonemyheart's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    absolutely ridiculous! because my 2 children have chronic conditions, our co-pays and deductibles only cover so much. last year we spent over $7,000 in additional medical costs. now i can't have my...

  21. Med error stories

    msn10 replied to gemini81sg's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all the posts and honesty. Nurses need to learn that mistakes are going to happen and we need to be aware of WHY they happen, not just the error itself. I teach a nurse residency class for...

  22. Hospital CEO Salaries: Are The Big Bucks Justified?

    msn10 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In fact, I bet if you took those 40+ FTE's and hired nurses into those positions with the sole purpose of enacting bed-side improvement ideas (you know - real EBC) they could reduce costs, improve...

  23. Hospital CEO Salaries: Are The Big Bucks Justified?

    msn10 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My thoughts exactly. I don't have a problem with CEO's making more than a staff nurse for obvious reasons; but it all has to be put into perspective. The example of the CEO from Wisconsin making 3.6...

  24. difficulty of CRNA school

    msn10 replied to ginaw623's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You don't learn the same thing, you learn anesthesia, not anesthesia AND medicine. MD's are medical docs. Not that you don't already know that, but I would agree with Kentucky - apples to oranges....

  25. How would you feel?

    msn10 replied to stashiaj's topic in General Nursing

    I am not bashing you, wow! All I am saying is that many of us have had to find other alternatives (and there are noc childcares in some areas) and I have had to pass on a couple of dream jobs because...
