  1. Vent thread "universal" health care

    WIN007 replied to mauxtav8r's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    First, they're doing that anyway and have been for 30 years as healthcare costs have skyrocketed. Second, there is nothing in the ACA, presumably that's what you mean by "Obamacare" that is in itself...

  2. Vent thread "universal" health care

    WIN007 replied to mauxtav8r's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No kidding.

  3. Vent thread "universal" health care

    WIN007 replied to mauxtav8r's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Apparently not and I don't know where you would possibly be familiar with one from either. meanwhile: The people who would not have to buy health insurance above are the very poor - and you're...

  4. Health Information Mgt or informatics

    WIN007 replied to guest27716's topic in Nursing Informatics

    Very unlikely. As CIO you'd be responsible for the technical infrastructure and security as well as clinical software. Most clinicians that get into Informatics do not have that

  5. Health Information Mgt or informatics

    WIN007 replied to guest27716's topic in Nursing Informatics

    Heck, I'd be hardpressed to answer that as I see genetic informatics as being a subset of bioinformatics...very closely intertwined. I'd sure have to do some research to

  6. Health Information Mgt or informatics

    WIN007 replied to guest27716's topic in Nursing Informatics

    Not to dissuade you at all; I think it's great you get a masters, BUT most of the organizations hiring for EMR now - and there are many as the new Meaningful Use mandate to use an EMR as Stage 1 of...

  7. Health Information Mgt or informatics

    WIN007 replied to guest27716's topic in Nursing Informatics

    the HiTech act of 2009 dedicated money for workforce training inthe form of certificate programs in HIT domains , some of which are geared for IT workers without clinical backgrounds. Most states...

  8. How will the new healthcare law in 2014 NOT create more jobs?

    WIN007 replied to xInspiredx's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Wrong. The subsidies are for private insurance plans. Since you appear to maintain that's the preferred method where is your problem? That you won't have to pay for their ED visits anymore, or that...

  9. The Other Side of ObamaCare - Nurse's Health Benefits

    WIN007 replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Perhaps but politically it wasn't feasible. The president can't just do this by himself; he's gotta have congress. That's hard when people get their "news and information" from biased sources and...

  10. The Other Side of ObamaCare - Nurse's Health Benefits

    WIN007 replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Didn't they just recently change that to be if you're eligible for Medicare you go on medicare. The DoD has been very much struggling with healthcare inflation and rising costs

  11. The Other Side of ObamaCare - Nurse's Health Benefits

    WIN007 replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Please do be specific. What in this "travesty" do you specifically object to? Please provide specifics, not rhetoric. How will it "impact the supply of physicians" . Please do note that the supply of...

  12. The Other Side of ObamaCare - Nurse's Health Benefits

    WIN007 replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    They're doing no such thing. I'm not sure what "Obamacare" is exactly but I am certain that people tossing the term around have no idea, or otherwise have their own agenda. If you're referring to the...

  13. Money Won't Buy You Health Insurance

    WIN007 replied to StNeotser's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It's also ironic that people want government out of health care when govt is already paying for about 70% of in-patient admits. Throw in the uninsured or underinsured in ED and inpatient and it's...

  14. You're TERRIBLE at IV starts?? omg!

    WIN007 replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    Consider yourself lucky. The patients who pull theirs out always seemed to gravitate to me as well as the patients that screamed before you even stuck them.

  15. Money Won't Buy You Health Insurance

    WIN007 replied to StNeotser's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm inclined to agree with you as inherently it seems like a conflict of interest to me to have for-profit companies deciding who gets heatlh care. I can see it as feasible where there is sensible...

  16. You're TERRIBLE at IV starts?? omg!

    WIN007 replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    I have to do really big people by feel because I can never see the veins even with that vein finder gadget. I almost always get the antecubital and rarely anywhere

  17. New to nursing leadership and having some difficulty

    WIN007 replied to nfdfiremedic's topic in General Nursing

    Embarassing, but true. And I should also have told her to make new peers - persons in leadershiop, clinical directors of units she interacts most with and auxillary functions in the hospital. She'll...

  18. Do you give meds without seeing the MDs order if he MAR has been checked?

    WIN007 replied to canadianRNeducator's topic in Patient Medications

    The entire idea of manually checking orders, counting on the doctors to update and sign MAR's when any patient may be seeing 3 or more doctors is an accident waiting to happen and conveniently puts...

  19. New to nursing leadership and having some difficulty

    WIN007 replied to nfdfiremedic's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, congratulations on your well earned promotion! Secondly, I've seen this happen, apparenlty it does happen a lot. Unfortunately. but your role is different now. Much like being a parent...

  20. You're TERRIBLE at IV starts?? omg!

    WIN007 replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    I can assure you they are not. I've known long term nurses that were lousy at starting IV's probably because the units they were on didn't cause for much of it, their hospital had an IV team and...

  21. Lost my cool

    WIN007 replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    yeah, probably. Just say you apologize for your frustration;that you were doing your best to ensure her Mom got the care she needed. We've all lost our cool. Learn from it and move on. Like next...

  22. Are you serious?

    WIN007 replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. I think this is the best approach. it just kind of ends the

  23. Money Won't Buy You Health Insurance

    WIN007 replied to StNeotser's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm sorry for your experience. I'm in good health and couldn't find a meaningful plan worth the paper it was written on if I really needed it for under 600 a month. And then if I did God forbid need...

  24. Wisconsin has gutted Medicaid, no mandated ratios!

    WIN007 replied to EponaRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Also , social security was never covering 1-2 years don't know where you got that idea. I do agree people live longer, but then, they also WORK longer. The real problem with SS is that it has been...

  25. Wisconsin has gutted Medicaid, no mandated ratios!

    WIN007 replied to EponaRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Let's first address your discussion of social security as a 'ponzi scheme'. One should really have citations for this charge. That would be difficult considering that SS has been in surplus for it's...
