  1. Obamacare

    SC_RNDude replied to Topher53's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There is no relationship between what a CEO makes and what a nurse makes. A board pays a CEO what they think the value of the CEO is to their company. Nurses are paid what a employer thinks it is...

  2. Affordable Health Care for All, Except Smokers

    SC_RNDude replied to SC_RNDude's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I understand. But if the purpose of Obamacare is to make healthcare more affordable and accessible to more people, why would the law include a provision that makes healthcare more expensive for a...

  3. Obamacare

    SC_RNDude replied to Topher53's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Many studies? I know of one that says 45,000 and another that says it's about half that. And then there is this one that says that those two are flawed and that lack of insurance doesn't cause ANY...

  4. Obamacare

    SC_RNDude replied to Topher53's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You mean like insurance companies increasing their rates and hospitals piling on more for nurses to do, with fewer of them. Those are just two ways off the top of my head that I can think in which...

  5. Obamacare

    SC_RNDude replied to Topher53's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That is the most clear and honest answer that I have heard. There are many who share that same sentiment, but haven't been so concise in saying so. Even though there are very few economists, business...

  6. Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

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

    Amen,

  7. Obamacare

    SC_RNDude replied to Topher53's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm not as confident as you that just because the law says everyone will have healthcare, that the insurance companies, healthcare facilities, and government will have the means to provide

  8. Obamacare

    SC_RNDude replied to Topher53's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The formerly uninsured will be coming in for elective procedures? I don't see that insurance companies or the government will be in any big rush to pay for more people's elective

  9. Implications of Obamacare... what's your opinion?

    SC_RNDude replied to Nurse_AV's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Jolie, "Obamacare" was used long before the President was elected. The Tea Party wasn't around until after. Do a google search for those terms for 2007 and you'll see many for "Obamacare", and...

  10. Am I doing the right thing? New nurse getting butt kicked

    SC_RNDude replied to j_tay1981's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yep, I remember those nights. It does get better! Once a more experienced nurse, sensing I was having a particular rough shift, told me that when those nights happen to always remember that by...

  11. Implications of Obamacare... what's your opinion?

    SC_RNDude replied to Nurse_AV's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes Duckfan, it is alarming to see so many in our profession not understand the implications of Obamacare. I would you include you in that group. There is nothing in Obamacare that will lower the...

  12. Implications of Obamacare... what's your opinion?

    SC_RNDude replied to Nurse_AV's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Jolie, The term Obamacare is racist, and "Hilliarycare" is sexist. Can you help me then understand then what "Romneycare" is? Anti-morman? Anti-successful rich guy? I guess it could be racist or...

  13. Top 10 Reasons Against Unions

    SC_RNDude replied to PICUPNP's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Yes, Mrs H I did misunderstand. However, a school should be able to determine on it's own whether a RN is needed or not. Not a union saying every school needs a RN. My expereince in school...

  14. Top 10 Reasons Against Unions

    SC_RNDude replied to PICUPNP's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    That is sad that a school nurse is the only health care that some kids see on a regular basis. However, it isn't the role of the school to be a healthcare provider. Not to say that having a nurse...

  15. Top 10 Reasons Against Unions

    SC_RNDude replied to PICUPNP's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Yes, the police will check on someone if you asked. And they will also ask you a few questions like "why?", and "when is the last time anyone has heard from them?" I'm leaving the hospital out of it....

  16. Give Thanks to Nurses

    SC_RNDude replied to Mindful's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Actually, you articulate your case well. I periodically get into one of these strike discussions on AN, and you are one of the rare few (actually the only one who comes to mind) who makes any sense...

  17. Top 10 Reasons Against Unions

    SC_RNDude replied to PICUPNP's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I understand and don't necessarily disagree with that point, although I have never been in a union and seem to have worked in places better then many union places I hear of. Anyway, I have a legal...

  18. Top 10 Reasons Against Unions

    SC_RNDude replied to PICUPNP's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    You are right in that no one wants cops coming to their homes for welfare checks, unless of course it is for good reason. And, it is against the law for one to come into your home without permission...

  19. Give Thanks to Nurses

    SC_RNDude replied to Mindful's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    No. I had to google to figure out what you're talking about. From the little I now know about Sherwood, he sounds like a wise

  20. Give Thanks to Nurses

    SC_RNDude replied to Mindful's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I only watched the first three folks, and what I have to say is this: If you are going to make a video in support of your strike, get someone who can articulate your position with specificity. This...

  21. Give Thanks to Nurses

    SC_RNDude replied to Mindful's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I am totally with you when it comes to safe staffing and nurses having the resources needed to do their jobs. And the "head games and lies" are wrong, although in many cases union leaders play those...

  22. Top 10 Reasons Against Unions

    SC_RNDude replied to PICUPNP's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    No, it likely wouldn't happen at a union hospital. My point is, it doesn't happen at non-union hospitals either. Your story is a one in a million (or more). To say non-union hospitals are bad places...

  23. Implications of Obamacare... what's your opinion?

    SC_RNDude replied to Nurse_AV's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sounds then like you disagree with the assertion that Obamacare supporters make that more people will now be seeking preventive care and thus less money will be spent on those people in the long

  24. Give Thanks to Nurses

    SC_RNDude replied to Mindful's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Testa Rosa, Great. You are in the think of it. Maybe you can give the union some credibility by providing some specifics. They are taking away sick leave? Can you clarify? You are saying if you...

  25. Top 10 Reasons Against Unions

    SC_RNDude replied to PICUPNP's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    This story is so outside the norm, the outlier in other words, it has nothing to do with the issue of non-union vs union hospital. And unless they had reason to believe you were in danger, and simply...
