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

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    I think it does indirectly because obviously if you have really concentrated wealth then those people get represented and everybody else doesn't and get to increasingly manipulate the system in their...

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

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't giving you "orders". I was responding to a message YOU wrote that happened to have misinformation in it. If you don't want me to respond then don't post your tripe on a public forum....

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

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    I think the ANA does have insurance plan discounts or used to but I'm not sure how much help they are really or if they still

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

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    At this point I'd be happy for that as it would be a substantial

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

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    You can't say a percentile pays all the taxes if you are only including convenient subsets of taxes. Leaving out almost 50% of the federal collections and then maintaining that it doesn't matter is...

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

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    Not my intent to upset anyone either nor to change anyones minds which I doubt I could anyway given the polarization of the nation. If I can open someones mind though even a crack I'm happy.. This...

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

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    I don't disagree that everyone should pay something, nor do I agree with the deduction system for that matter. Poor or not it seems ludicrous that people who have more kids that use more schools and...

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

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    Why would you give me a citation to a notorious rightwing thinktank page to prove anything based in reality? First they don't include FICA (social security revenue) which is a full THIRTY SIX PERCENT...

  9. anyone else feel kinda lonely in this job?

    WIN007 replied to bennyRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Have you considered getting involved in some of the hospital activities? Is there an evidenced based practice group you can join for example or something that catches your interest you can volunteer...

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

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    Actually YOU'RE wrong. First, the number you are parrotting from thbe propoganda mills is actually like the top 5% if I recall correctly. Secondly they conveniently ONLY include federal income taxes...

  11. Help: Need Money for School

    WIN007 replied to Alum08's topic in General Nursing

    Here are a few ideas. It may depend on what state you're in as many nursing scholarships are administered by the state so be sure to check that. However here is a link for health and human services...

  12. Very angry with fellow nurse.

    WIN007 replied to tokmom's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't blame you. Let me rephrase what I said a bit.. don't jeapordize yourself by patently retaliating with assignments in a matter where it is obvious. :-) There's so much of that, the good...

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

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    Your points noted, nothing is perfect. At least you're covered for now and will have some kind of healthcare in your old age which is a lot more than I'm feeling about now and we pay higher costs...

  14. Wisconsin has gutted Medicaid, no mandated ratios!

    WIN007 replied to EponaRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Also, Az, meant to address your comments on deficits earlier. Deficits in themselves are not inherently bad if they are made productively. Investing in R&D efforts in Northern California that...

  15. Wisconsin has gutted Medicaid, no mandated ratios!

    WIN007 replied to EponaRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What is hard about any of this? After inheriting a 200 billion dollar deficit from his predecessor he reduced it every year he was in office finally leaving President Bush with a surplus. You were...

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

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    If it was up to me, not that politicians listen to anyone with less than a few mil to offer their campaign coffers, I'd do these things: 1. Immediately reduce bureacracy and overhead costs with...

  17. The future of Obamacare

    WIN007 replied to CRNA2007's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Good point. Not to mention Medicare Advantage which proved, if nothing else, that no the private sector can't operate any cheaper than Medicare's economies of

  18. Wisconsin has gutted Medicaid, no mandated ratios!

    WIN007 replied to EponaRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    And has been explained to you already that is entirely possible even as a President reduces the deficits or runs surpluses. Largely because the existing debt still has to be serviced - it's called...

  19. Very angry with fellow nurse.

    WIN007 replied to tokmom's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Don't jeapordize yourself by using assignments as retaliation. Instead make it a habit to write her up every time she makes one of these statements about you or any other charge. Same for...

  20. Can someone please appease my paranoia?

    WIN007 replied to gigglymo's topic in General Nursing

    Look, I don't think it's entirely paranoid. Breast milk is a significant route of transmission in HIV infections. Yet the chances that the mom was HIV+ and if so it penetrated and infected you are...

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

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    only prob is the uber-wealthy don't pay what's on the charts - they have loopholes and estate accountants at their disposal. meanwhile if you're a wage-earning sucker you get hit up by regressive...

  22. Wisconsin has gutted Medicaid, no mandated ratios!

    WIN007 replied to EponaRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Allow me to interject some economic education please. I do have a substantial background. Stagflation was coined by economist Paul Samuelson to describe the years of high inflation and high (for back...

  23. Wisconsin has gutted Medicaid, no mandated ratios!

    WIN007 replied to EponaRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well, if so you haven't yet gotten through. Social Security alone has cut elderly poverty by over 65% in this country. Should the destitute people of the Great Depression have rejected the New Deal...

  24. NO NURSING JOBS!!!

    WIN007 replied to JaqRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I've heard Mass is one of the worst states for new nurses. Florida another and so is Kentucky. Tho truly how anyone lives in the Boston area on a nurses salary is no small mystery to me. Beautiful...

  25. NO NURSING JOBS!!!

    WIN007 replied to JaqRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree with you and it is heartbreaking. The nursing homes do struggle because so many of their patients end up on Medicaid. Well, how long could you prevent going on Medicaid if you had to pay...
