  1. Patients Are Not Consumers

    WIN007 replied to StNeotser's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    wow. Wealth of the Nations? models of free markets working under perfect market conditions (four?) and then acknowledging those conditions near never existed which was the reason for some govt....

  2. Tufts nurses vote 70% to authorize strike

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    My .02: Actually the question that occurs to me is what kind of really really obscene money the facility could possibly have negotiated to pay them that even allows them to offer min. 5200 a

  3. Hiring for strike

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

    Do you know if these types of companies are using foreign nurses as temp workers? If so I'd be curious as to who is paying for their

  4. Tufts nurses vote 70% to authorize strike

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    so, um, pardon my ignorance but does this have anything to do with the message somebody posted earlier showing a craigslist ad listed , just

  5. The future of Obamacare

    WIN007 replied to CRNA2007's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    fully agree with much of what you say. my parents were kids during the great depression and never forgot it. I don't think they bought anything on credit they couldn't pay off at the end of the month...

  6. Hiring for strike

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

    Am not union but out of curiosity I checked out the website and now almost wish I hadn't. Give them their due; they don't appear to

  7. Should I tell my NM or not???

    WIN007 replied to NYnurseatheart's topic in General Nursing

    My .02. I probably wouldn't say anything to mgmt based what you provided. Unless I missed it, you didn't say what the dilaudid dosage was, what the nausea med pushed was and it's dosage and what her...

  8. Man, you guys make nursing seem HORRIBLE! If I knew this before school...

    WIN007 replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing can have issues certainly but it also offers work flexibility, learning opportunties and variety that aren't found in most professions. Most definitely encourage you to get an NP or as much...

  9. future E.R. nurse and CRNA

    WIN007 replied to zippeh's topic in Nursing Career

    If it's your passion and what you want to do then don't let that stop you. I believe employment can be found in most fields for the people who are the most passionate about them; these people...

  10. Wisconsin has gutted Medicaid, no mandated ratios!

    WIN007 replied to EponaRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You're preaching to the choir. And actually the total outlay for debt interest is higher; about 12.8 cents of every tax dollar by the latest data I could find. Yes, it's bad. IMHO, we've done very...

  11. Patients Are Not Consumers

    WIN007 replied to StNeotser's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I see your point but I think that in economic models, anyone who uses or buys or has demand for a resource the term used is consumer. Probably a layover from

  12. New Health Care Bill

    WIN007 replied to rodmoser's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Again, not sure what Obamacare IS, but I think the Affordable Care Act has some good items. I too had to fight a denial for an in-patient stay the result of an emergency. At the time I didn't realize...

  13. New Health Care Bill

    WIN007 replied to rodmoser's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    And watch out for those black helicopters!

  14. New Health Care Bill

    WIN007 replied to rodmoser's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You're kidding right? If you mean the Affordable Care Act, I don't see how people who are uninsured having to carry insurance instead of going to the ED for everything is going to affect nurses other...

  15. We may need fewer nurses in the hospital...

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    I love the desert too tho I admit a little goes a long way for me. Yep, many cities in the southwest have pretty much depleted water tables and have been importing water from outside sources (Colorado...

  16. Demerol 75 mg was given IV instead of IM. Fired!!!

    WIN007 replied to mirtesen's topic in General Nursing

    I have to second this. Every site you visit knows your ip, and you're very easy to find if need be. And not only that, it is permanent record. Even after deletion, text from the webpage indexed by...

  17. We may need fewer nurses in the hospital...

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    PS - FICA taxes, medicare, the federal gasoline tax, taxes on airline tickets, the booze you buy, to name a few do not vary by where you live. they still are making up a huge piece of the total pie...

  18. We may need fewer nurses in the hospital...

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    Ha! financial survivalist

  19. Demerol 75 mg was given IV instead of IM. Fired!!!

    WIN007 replied to mirtesen's topic in General Nursing

    I sincerely don't want to make you feel worse than you do but putting 75mg directly into a pt. bloodstream that was not intended to be, this was not a small mistake. I think you can take some good...

  20. We may need fewer nurses in the hospital...

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    If you didn't deliberately pick that website I apologize for thinking you did. I stand by my statement that if you are going to argue economics then you should use credible resources for that domain...

  21. We may need fewer nurses in the hospital...

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    the US does have the worst disparity of any westernized, developed nation. It is comparable with the USSR and it's oligarchs and Iran rather than West Europe or Australia. And it's mostly been a...

  22. We may need fewer nurses in the hospital...

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, true, not so related but somehow we're all on a roll. :-) I guess it is nursing related in that this has hit nurses very hard. I would need to look at hard statistics to really answer this - if...

  23. We may need fewer nurses in the hospital...

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    Surely bigger ones than I'll ever have and more power to them if three yachts and 7 homes and castles truly buy them happiness. Obviously it does. But I don't need that stuff and I don't want it. A...

  24. Are you serious?

    WIN007 replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    That's pretty brilliant and probably a very effective way of managing the less tenacious family. My biggest family annoyances were the ones who wanted to test me to see if I really knew what an...

  25. To specialize or not?

    WIN007 replied to amayzingnurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    By all means start on the floor! I recommend Med/Surg if you have no prior experience as you'll get a good well-rounded exposure. Even if you move to a "hands-off" specialty, you will gain medical...
