  1. Why aren't more nurses and nursing facilities unionized?

    WIN007 replied to Ev1987's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I remember at my former hospital (the nursing unions have been trying to get into a decidedly 'red' state) and I know a LOT of the nurses hated many of the appalling conditions, most of all the...

  2. Why aren't more nurses and nursing facilities unionized?

    WIN007 replied to Ev1987's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Of course the hospitals pay big money to keep the unions out. All industries do.they don't want to pay for lower patient ratios or higher pay for the employees. As for union "greed", and maybe I'm...

  3. New Health Care Bill

    WIN007 replied to rodmoser's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well, don't let the facts get in your way. Sounds like the people who think that the govt can't do anything right - but still want their social security check on time, Medicare to pay their hospital...

  4. New Health Care Bill

    WIN007 replied to rodmoser's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't doubt it. I can remember from my IP stay and followup surgery receiving numerous forms throughout from the insurance company to testify I didn't have any other insurance. Even if I did, then...

    Oh

  7. Vent thread "universal" health care

    WIN007 replied to mauxtav8r's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Romney care is a disaster because it isn't financially viable but not because of your insistance that mobs of people are rushing to get as much free healthcare as they can. Romney, as always, tried...

  8. Vent thread "universal" health care

    WIN007 replied to mauxtav8r's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It should. Tennessee has about the highest number of people on Medicaid in the nation. In fact so many that people aren't even allowed to opt out of the health exchange (which controls costs by...

  9. New Health Care Bill

    WIN007 replied to rodmoser's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    actually medicare (except for plan D which was a free windfall to the private insurers) does this extremely economically as does the VA. I've yet to see a private insurer be able to operate with the...

  10. ObamaCare/Health Reform Law Blamed for Nursing Strikes

    WIN007 replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It sounds a lot like a few persons are advocating sick people just stay home and die rather than inconvenience them by seeking treatment. How

  11. ObamaCare/Health Reform Law Blamed for Nursing Strikes

    WIN007 replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm not sure what Obamacare does to nursing and couldn't make any sense of the article but the patients you think will be entering the market are ALREADY in it. They come in from the ED that HAS to...

  12. ObamaCare/Health Reform Law Blamed for Nursing Strikes

    WIN007 replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    those patients are already seeking care anyway. they're just coming in from the ED and leaving the hospital to eat the bill (and higher premiums for the rest of

  13. Universal Heath Care - Lessons from Massachusetts

    WIN007 replied to dp1200's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    1. Not to mention the VA. I'm not sure why anyone would even WANT to get rid of the healthcare systems that are the most efficient in the nation, but the hard right is a strange beast when it comes to...

  14. John Nichols: Ryan's wrong - we need 'Medicare for all'

    WIN007 replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Wouldn't it be nice for the good Senator and like-minded R's in Congress to volunteer to give up their own life-long government funded healthcare first. And where is the Tea Party, those icons of...

  15. Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    WIN007 replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm in the pro-life camp but I am still appalled at the personal attacks and pisspoor logic so many put forth. For example we could have aborted DaVinci and not had art but IF someone had aborted...

  16. Obama Care

    WIN007 replied to johnny depp23's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree with 6. Tired of paying for the health care of part-time Walmart workers. Like the Walton's pay for it; they can afford it more than me. Yes, taxing health benefits is probably coming. Sux....

  17. Best and cheaper online program for MSN in informatics

    WIN007 replied to hfaith's topic in Nursing Informatics

    I am not familiar with this school so I can't say. My advice to anyone seeking this advanced degree, which can be quite expensive, is to be as sure as you can you're going to get a Return on your...

  18. Vermont governor signs single-payer health law

    WIN007 replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    > people from hard red states which receives more in federal tax dollars than they contribute, year after year, decade after decade, are disqualified from lecturing other states on socialism and...

  19. Where does the Unions stand on Importing Foreign Nurses?

    WIN007 replied to kalevra's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Good question. Seems logical they'd be against as there's no advantage to the union to have it's American members displaced with foreign non-union members. Would be interesting to hear from a rep...

  20. Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    WIN007 replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    While I admit to leaning against most abortions and I surely don't want to argue THAT one, still, this was really disingenous. In my life I have yet to meet someone who is

  21. Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    WIN007 replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oh, yeah. That one! "Promotion of Muslims wearing head scarfs" just happens every day where I work. (NOT). So, c'mon now if you're so confident in your opinions than surely you don't need to reduce...

    huh? what?? Oh, nevermind.

  23. Vermont governor signs single-payer health law

    WIN007 replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    PS - by definition a state-run single payer system inherently implies that medicaid is gone, see. As the states largely fund medicaid themselves this is entirely their business. Other states such as...

  24. Vermont governor signs single-payer health law

    WIN007 replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I can tell you that these five people you mock are experts in healthcare administration. And YOUR OWN credentials would be?? They've crunched the numbers and no doubt concluded it would save money....

  25. what options besides bedside nursing are there for new grad

    WIN007 replied to sourapril's topic in General Nursing

    I think you need a year of hands-on clinical experience in med-surg or similar before considering other options. It's hard to work as a case manager or admin if you don't have a firm grip on the...
