    Nursing Is No Longer Worth It

    Asystole RN replied to AnonymousSuper's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Asystole RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    The concept that "non-profits" are somehow better than "for-profit" hospitals is a myth born of marketing. Every single hospital in the United States is profit driven and every single hospital...

    Nursing Is No Longer Worth It

    Asystole RN replied to AnonymousSuper's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Radonda Vaught Fatal Error Case Timeline

    Asystole RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    How Vietnam (97 million people) managed to keep its coronavirus death toll at zero

    Asystole RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Asystole RN replied to NursesTakeDC's topic in General Nursing

    I would urge you to look into the Prospective Payment System and the rationale for the MS-DRG and labor base rate in the early 1980's. Nurse to patient ratios were an early target for federal...
