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

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    that's a LOT of misinformation for two paragraphs. The top 2% does not pay 50% of the taxes, not even the federal taxes. the federal tax code is the only progressive tax code in the country (well,...

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

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    Back then the framework of the country was entirely different. Before transnational corporations and corporate farms and walmart people worked in farms and small businesses and inherently got more...

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

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    Arguably rationing is well established here. HMO's, PPO's, and max payouts have been around since the 70's and have become commonplace. I do think there should be common sense in application. People...

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

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent points (both of you). For example here lung cancer is the leading ca cause of death. In women as well. People who have quit smoking long ago are still at risk not just current smokers. In...

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

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    Anecdotes, even if true, are not a good way to measure a healthcare system. After all, we could all tell similar horror stories of domestic institutions and then some. The way to measure a health...

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

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    No reason to accept it as a given. Nurses with the physicial work they do and the things they are exposed to have a right to healthcare programs they paid into . There's nothing "entitled' about it;...

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

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    How about you produce a few citations for your assertions and then the rest of us come up with something better. Because with all due respect all I see there is a lot of rhetoric and emotion. No, as...

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

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    I agree and I have to say it at this point because it's reached the point of insanity. we now have healthcare, education and wealth divisions that rank behind every other industrialized nation in the...

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

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    Actually the lion's share of people on the Fortune 50 list inherited their wealth. For example about 14 of the Fortune 20 richest Americans are walmart heirs or spouses that had absolutely nothing to...

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

    WIN007 replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    Prevention is key (why one can even BUY cigarettes for the past 30 years is a tribute to our govt run by lobbyists), but nonetheless, as we age, thing wear out. That's just how it is. You can't...

  11. Change from BSN to DDS

    WIN007 replied to lyanne's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Agreed.

  12. Any hospital hiring new grads? anywhere in the country?

    WIN007 replied to zefutebolera's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Parts are nice. But be careful in Texas. Dallas and Houston, San Antonio, have some serious crime issues and whatever you do, stay away from the border cities

  13. Any hospital hiring new grads? anywhere in the country?

    WIN007 replied to zefutebolera's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Try the Delaware hospitals. I thought I saw advertisements a few weeks

  14. Any hospital hiring new grads? anywhere in the country?

    WIN007 replied to zefutebolera's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'd hang up Florida. I read it's one of the states where supply well exceeds demand. If you're willing to take it on, I regularly see stuff in South Dakota and western upper midwest. Seems wide open...

  15. Phlebotomy Course

    WIN007 replied to Llam86's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with the others. If you're looking to put more time in studying :-), I'd start studying for the

  16. Taking time off before I get my first job...

    WIN007 replied to morningland's topic in Nursing Career

    Get your RN (NCLEX) by all means. I would say if you have in good faith tried, passed the boards, put in your education, willing to relocate and in six months have gotten nowhere, time to regroup. a...

  17. Guys, do you wear your wedding band to work?

    WIN007 replied to JaredCNA's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm guessing your wife won't appreciate it if you take it off given the ratio of female to male nurses likely in your work environment. Just wear it and clean it ; it's not that

  18. Men in Nursing Calendar

    WIN007 replied to Colin the Red RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    So long as it's done tastefully it could actually be helpful to male

  19. Taking time off before I get my first job...

    WIN007 replied to morningland's topic in Nursing Career

    Well, I know two such stories. One person took a year off after college and then had a heckofa time finding a job.. she finally settled for something with a very small company that since has laid off...

  20. Prioritization

    WIN007 replied to raymell80's topic in General Nursing

    The first thing I did the very second I knew who my patients were was go to the computer and look at their history quickly and the diagnosis of the admitting and attending doctors for the current...

  21. How do I get along with my coworkers? new grad

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

    I agree with you as for her sake it's likely the only path to peace though it really burns me. Why should she have to leave? She's not the one creating a hostile environment for someone else. How...

  22. NEED ADVICE

    WIN007 replied to al17315's topic in General Nursing

    Could be either way. One hospital in my area makes practice of inteviewing people and then never contacts them again and then HR finally calls or emails them and tells them they didn't get the job....

  23. career change

    WIN007 replied to lmp919's topic in General Nursing

    you could also look at working as a pharm tech at a major drugstore chain. I know persons who did that. It would pay about the same, give you a big leg up on medications and also probalby be a lot...

  24. How do I not burn this bridge??...

    WIN007 replied to Da_Milk_of_Amnesia's topic in General Nursing

    It's not fun, no. But believe me they have a huge employee staff and they won't be near so focused on you. It's just another routine thing they deal

  25. Please help...need advice!

    WIN007 replied to sungrl01's topic in General Nursing

    Next time make sure you not only have the orientation verbally committed to, but ask to see their orientation manual and ask to talk to others who are relatively new to the unit and find out what they...
