  1. Health One vs Centura

    SC_RNDude replied to Nurse216's topic in Colorado Nursing

    PLanning on doing it and having success at it are two different things. I had planned on putting on my scrubs, putting my stethoscope around my neck, taking report, and faking working there until...

  2. What Nurses Really Want

    SC_RNDude replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree with a lot of what NNU says, but I think they should leave some issues for others to fight. For example: "we stand for a world not reliant on the burning and extraction of fossil fuels."...

  3. I'm a sexless nurse

    SC_RNDude replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, USUALLY you can tell beforehand. It only takes one time that you can't to ruin a career. And, no, I doubt I know every one of my patient's survivor issues. How would I? I will always have a...

  4. Health One vs Centura

    SC_RNDude replied to Nurse216's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm not trying to pick on you. I've read other posts by you and you seem like a bright and friendly person. But.... Sorry, I'm having a hard time grasping this. "Most of your classmates" did this,...

  5. Juvenile Arrest: Did I ruin my chance to be a nurse?

    SC_RNDude replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I think we are overthinking this a bit. Daisy said she was not convicted, and so she answered no as the application asked her if she had ever been convicted. Now she is worried because she had been...

  6. Health One vs Centura

    SC_RNDude replied to Nurse216's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I've worked for both. The pay and working conditions were better at

  7. Nurses as Costs for Hospitals

    SC_RNDude replied to advor's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You seem confused as to the reasoning you want to stick with for ICU nurses being paid more. Perhaps you are the one with your knickers wound up a little too tight. At the risk of wasting my time, I...

  8. Nurses as Costs for Hospitals

    SC_RNDude replied to advor's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't believe that was your point the first time around. Let me remind you of one of your quotes: "Areas of nursing like critical care should have a higher pay scale than med surge. Sorry folks....

  9. Should Nurses know procedural costs?

    SC_RNDude replied to Nolagrace1202's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Please do make the argument that I somehow I am not interested in being the patient's nurse if I'm not interested in figuring out what their care is costing. I'm interested in the logic behind that...

  10. Should Nurses know procedural costs?

    SC_RNDude replied to Nolagrace1202's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    From the website of one of my area hospitals: "xxxxx Medical Center makes no guarantees regarding the accuracy of the pricing information provided by this website. A final bill for services rendered...

  11. Photo on your resume?

    SC_RNDude replied to PapaBearRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I've thought about doing this myself. Not because I'm super-attractive, but because I believe I look like a friendly and pleasant. I kinda laugh at the "looks don't matter" and "I wouldn't want to...

  12. I heard today on the radio

    SC_RNDude replied to Vtachy1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That is correct. We are talking about a chain email in this instance. I don't think any of the people you mentioned would present a chain email, that is easily proved to be incorrect, as

  13. I heard today on the radio

    SC_RNDude replied to Vtachy1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Then why don't you share those? I did as you said, and found two references to obscure radio shows from 2-3 years

  14. I heard today on the radio

    SC_RNDude replied to Vtachy1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No, sorry. I was trying to make a point that if others can blame conservative talk shows for this misinformation, one could just as easily blame a progressive show. I didn't actually hear it...

  15. I heard today on the radio

    SC_RNDude replied to Vtachy1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Do you listen to a lot of those guys, do you? Who said it was a topic on a conservative talk show? All the OP said was they "heard it on the radio". For all we know, it was a ill-informed AM disc...

  16. I heard today on the radio

    SC_RNDude replied to Vtachy1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Actually, I had heard this on a progressive radio

  17. Newly hired nurse

    SC_RNDude replied to Walkingbad's topic in General Nursing

    I've done this, and it wasn't a problem. Although, I told the manager after I was hired but before I started working and before they made a schedule for me. And, I offered to reschedule my vacation...

  18. Malpractice Insurance

    SC_RNDude replied to Thought's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, get your own liability insurance. I just renewed mine that expired. I had forgotten about it, and then one day a family who was VERY unhappy with our facilty was filming a situation in the...

  19. Healthcare deductables

    SC_RNDude replied to CriticalCareRN1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    How condescending. What does being a CNA vs RN have to do with anything. A vast majorty of RN's I know don't pay enough attention to have an educated opinion on the healthcare issue one way or the...

  20. Why can't hospitals do better?

    SC_RNDude replied to ORNurseCOS's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Actually, the behavior of many patients does drive up the costs of medical care. The federal gov't can't run out of money? There is some truth to that I suppose. But I find it frightening that there...

  21. PRN hours decreased because of the ACA

    SC_RNDude replied to kdhunley's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am no fan of the ACA. In fact, you can find pages of my posts that would indicate the opposite. That being said... Most employers, healthcare and otherwise, don't pay a higher rate for those who...

  22. Obamacare and hospitals

    SC_RNDude replied to mee9mee9's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I stated that I believe that I can make better decisions about how my healthcare dollars are spent then the gov't can for me. So, how does that equate to me obviously believing that health insurance...

  23. Obamacare and hospitals

    SC_RNDude replied to mee9mee9's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So, we agree. Medicare Advantage costs more not because it is run by private business, but because it is a product of politicians and health insurance companies scratching each others' backs at the...

  24. Obamacare and hospitals

    SC_RNDude replied to mee9mee9's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No, of course not. Don't waste our time with such a dumb question. Medicare Advantage costs us more then medicare because it is a product of politicians and health industry lobbyists working...

  25. Obamacare and hospitals

    SC_RNDude replied to mee9mee9's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Your not getting it. The complaints are bogus. You might want to ponder the notion that perhaps medicare overpayments have more to do with political favors then
