  1. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    Jstand replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Let's just start with the first fallacy in your argument then. You say that midlevel providers cannot do the same things that physicians can. Please show some shred of proof for that statement. If you...

  2. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    Jstand replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    None of what you said makes any sense whatsoever, it isn't even consistent with your own previous arguments. It is ridiculous. You need to go back to school and learn a thing or two before you try to...

  3. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    Jstand replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    They don't need physician education to do their job for starters. They can provide more cost effective care without it. If physicians weren't so greedy, they would agree and stop opposing it. If the...

  4. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    Jstand replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You are entitled to your opinion on independent practice, but I think you are very wrong. As far as how to repay their loans? That is their problem. Why don't you tell them to cut expenses like...

  5. What do health insurance corporations do?

    Jstand replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Thanks. Now can you tell me why single payer is the only way to do

  6. What do health insurance corporations do?

    Jstand replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think you are just missing the point. The point being that the people with MD behind their name have done just as much if not more harm and caused more people to be denied more care by...

  7. What do health insurance corporations do?

    Jstand replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You appear to have implicit trust in providers? Why is that? I would agree with you, I have no trust in the insurance corporation when it comes to my healthcare, but I also have little trust in...

  8. What do health insurance corporations do?

    Jstand replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I didn't say that you approved of all practices or policies that are not being discussed. I simply said that you were not fair in charging insurers with responsibility for waste if you didn't do the...

  9. What do health insurance corporations do?

    Jstand replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So it isn't wasteful when hospitals and doctor's offices buy expensive ads or build "Class A" office space or pay themselves hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in "officer" compensation? That...

  10. What do health insurance corporations do?

    Jstand replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You have misplaced your trust. You think that the insurance executive makes a profit for denying service, but the physician doesn't make a profit from providing unnecessary service? Furthermore, you...

  11. What do health insurance corporations do?

    Jstand replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Work is work, so we won't even go into that. No work is priceless, so spare me the matters of life and death stuff. Don't belittle the work of employees of insurance companies just because they don't...

  12. What do health insurance corporations do?

    Jstand replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Now let's examine another reason. If you are going to post something like this about insurance companies, why don't you try explaining to us why it is okay for physicians to earn on average four to...

  13. What do health insurance corporations do?

    Jstand replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sorry, I guess I shouldn't have inferred that from what you said. I was just trying to make a point. The point is that people very readily demonize insurers for their profit motive while they view...

  14. What do health insurance corporations do?

    Jstand replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So what you are saying is that it is okay to provide too much service and make abnormal profits, but it is not okay to deny service while making a

  15. What do health insurance corporations do?

    Jstand replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I understand what you are saying, but I also know that providers try as many ways as they can to provide care. It seems to me that everyone who stands to make a profit in the healthcare arena acts...

  16. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    Jstand replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Ha? First of all, what does that mean? Are you a clown or something? What is only anti-competitive if midlevels can do the same job? Midlevels do a job, you are the one that keeps comparing it to what...

  17. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    Jstand replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think you are probably right regarding this going to the courts since most of the behavior of physicians in this arena is anti-competitive and frankly

  18. Extended MN Nurses Strike Averted

    Jstand replied to Intern67's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I agree that patients and big govt have contributed to our problems, but so have doctors, big pharaceutical companies, and hospitals. You can try to blame the problems on patients all you want, but...

  19. Extended MN Nurses Strike Averted

    Jstand replied to Intern67's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    So you honestly think that all physicians can do this at will and there will be no adverse affects for them? Is that what you are trying to say? I understand there is a trend of physicians selling...

  20. Extended MN Nurses Strike Averted

    Jstand replied to Intern67's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I would guess that has something to do with the reason for not hanging out your shingle. You lack the business acumen to understand how things work out there in the real world. You think it is as...

  21. Extended MN Nurses Strike Averted

    Jstand replied to Intern67's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    That would be really smart now, wouldn't it? Complain about someone cutting your revenues and then decide to cut them further yourself? I would love to see all of them try to take cash and insured...

  22. Nurses unionize to improve patient care

    Jstand replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Check your facts. Nobody has proposed to cut physician salaries by

    What else would they

  24. Should NPs become COMPLETELY independent?

    Jstand replied to BS, NP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Here you guys go again defending one another. Are you guys brothers or something? Just in case you hadn't noticed, I'll fill you in on what politicians are. They are the elected representatives of the...

  25. What do health insurance corporations do?

    Jstand replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Your posts display the core problem with the Republican argument in this debate. You are very eager to run down the solutions that have been proposed to fix the problem, but you don't offer any...
