  1. The future of Obamacare

    WIN007 replied to CRNA2007's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well, perhaps so, but they're certainly not "giving away freebies" to the middle class. And the amount of each of your tax dollars that gets spent on all poverty programs combined is about 8 cents....

  2. Wisconsin has gutted Medicaid, no mandated ratios!

    WIN007 replied to EponaRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    1. a link to a radical rightwingers campaign is laughable. try using the stat abstract, wikipedia, greenbook, official state and federal revenue and outlay tables and believable, objective sources...

  3. Wisconsin has gutted Medicaid, no mandated ratios!

    WIN007 replied to EponaRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    We're already rationing care here. There's 75,000,000 uninsured people, another 50,000,000 underinsured people and millions of others in HMO's and medical costs are the single most reason people file...

  4. Wisconsin has gutted Medicaid, no mandated ratios!

    WIN007 replied to EponaRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Good points in all. I'd even be happy tho to see these types answer why they're remaining silent when the demagogues who suggest these cuts are simultaneously supporting tax cuts for their well-heeled...

  5. Wisconsin has gutted Medicaid, no mandated ratios!

    WIN007 replied to EponaRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    And if it looks like a crack and quacks like a quack, it probably IS a crackpot. If you wanted to ensure that social security surpluses were untouchable and not used by other candidates (like the guy...

  6. Wisconsin has gutted Medicaid, no mandated ratios!

    WIN007 replied to EponaRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    First of all, if you want to be taken serious stop spamming the tripe and linking to crackpot websites, the websites of fringe rightwing candidates, ad nauseum. Stuff I use in the bathroom for paper...

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

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    You'll get no argument from me! Unfortunately though they're not unrelated to some of these other items. healthcare costs have skyrockted in teh country for almost 40 years and nobody at all until...

  8. A floor nurse's rambling late night rant.

    WIN007 replied to AggieNurse99's topic in General Nursing

    Been there and done that. Agree with many of your points. Only thing is pay for performance uses well researched evidenced based clinical quality measures from AHRQ http://www.ahrq.gov/ as does CMS...

  9. Disappointed New Grad

    WIN007 replied to 1lpn2rn's topic in General Nursing

    You've already been given ample evidence to why the show-and-be-shown method is superior for retaining and reinforcing skillsets so there's no need for me to be redundant. Yes, nursing can really suk...

  10. Disappointed New Grad

    WIN007 replied to 1lpn2rn's topic in General Nursing

    Great points. Count me in as well as a fan of the shown-and-show method of teaching and learning. It's actually very valuable as it reinforces what you've learned and your skills and IMHO, given the...

  11. Im doing my job,Im not part of your team

    WIN007 replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    I thought about it some more and I think you're right. Even if the persons intentions are the best the fact of the matter is it bothers her and she is crossing boundaries which may or may not...

  12. A reson why nursing is a bad career choice...

    WIN007 replied to KalipsoRed's topic in General Nursing

    Is he sure he wasn't covered? Even laid off many companies will cover the full month's worth of health premiums and occasionally even a few weeks longer. That's a terrible story. I'm no expert on this...

  13. A reson why nursing is a bad career choice...

    WIN007 replied to KalipsoRed's topic in General Nursing

    Actually he may truly have NOT been able to afford it. 450-800 a month is one hell of a lot of cell phone bills maybe especially for someone who just lost their job. PS - Kudos for you on the...

  14. Wisconsin has gutted Medicaid, no mandated ratios!

    WIN007 replied to EponaRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I understand what a ponzi scheme is. I asked you to explain why SS is and you haven't done so bold font aside. You're making my point for me. it's been in surplus and those surpluses have been used to...

  15. Im doing my job,Im not part of your team

    WIN007 replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    doubt it would be legally binding if someone sends an email from their own address and signs your name. Still..it would be at least a political issue and for that reason I think you're

  16. Im doing my job,Im not part of your team

    WIN007 replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    Tough one. This is where I see both sides. On one hand saying something can cause contention what is currently a benign and possibly helpful occurance and in her view probably sharing credit and good...

  17. Which state is better to work and live in Arizona or Florida??

    WIN007 replied to sungrl01's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. What I found too was that I didn't even have time to go to the beach when working long hours. I stayed in from the heat, did errands or caught up on my sleep rather than contend with the traffic...

  18. The Downward Spiral: Incivility in Nursing

    WIN007 replied to Willow Moonsidhe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Very respectfully, I'm sure you know what's worked best for you, but not necessarily everyone else in any environment. I'm not sure if you were referring to those of us who disagreed it's as simple as...

  19. Please help me, I'm in trouble.

    WIN007 replied to ShellyRn1117's topic in General Nursing

    ::sigh:: Oh,

  20. no job after two years

    WIN007 replied to icedtea's topic in General Nursing

    No doubt, but as others pointed out it's a matter of employer provided health insurance. that's the largest single reason for age discrimination. It's a very very big problem and IMHO, one which...

  21. Which state is better to work and live in Arizona or Florida??

    WIN007 replied to sungrl01's topic in General Nursing

    I prefer Arizona. Better market for nurses

  22. Anyone works for Epic systems directly at madison, WI

    WIN007 replied to jmeng's topic in Nursing Informatics

    you won't be the only one with that idea I an assure you. Even if they do, chances are they'll make you sign, as would any hospital,an agreement to stay on a certain amount of time or reimburse for...

  23. What brands of scrubs are the most comfortable?

    WIN007 replied to cnamommyto2's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Lots. Certain degree it's personal preference. Go to scrubs and beyond or any local scrub store and see! I can't believe how many new brands there are. I like Grey's Anatomy because they're soft,...

  24. A reson why nursing is a bad career choice...

    WIN007 replied to KalipsoRed's topic in General Nursing

    Agree that sounds outrageous especially as you obviously had recognized and were documenting an outlier condition. In less obvious cases or where nursing doesn't adequately call it to attention, the...

  25. A reson why nursing is a bad career choice...

    WIN007 replied to KalipsoRed's topic in General Nursing

    if it is demonstratable that there was a problem in surgery the insurer near certaily won't pay, or not for the full amount. the hospital may be able to charge something for her care, but unlikey the...
