  1. Should the U.S. Maintain HealthCare as a For Profit System?

    Mijourney posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    We've just experienced a history making election. Now it's time to come to reality. We will not be seeing a single payor system at this point if ever. The question becomes, should we expect to...

  2. Should the U.S. Maintain HealthCare as a For Profit System?

    Mijourney replied to Mijourney's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Thanks to everyone who has posted so far. Very interesting. I'm going to weigh in on the discussion to say that my intention of looking at the wage gap was not to say that doctors and nurses should...

  3. How to get accustomed to a 7pm to 7am position

    Mijourney replied to JStyles1's topic in Nursing Career

    Pineapple, I'm going to offer my two cents as someone who has worked the night shift in the past. If you know that you are not a late night/early morning person, then night shift is not for you. I...

  4. Doctor becoming Nurse?

    Mijourney replied to tenrec's topic in Nursing Career

    Hi tenrec. I agree with those who suggest that you should research nursing and shadow a nurse to see if it's something you want to do. If you find that nursing is for you, I feel you should consider...

  5. Hospital nsg after LTC?

    Mijourney replied to LogCabinMom's topic in Nursing Career

    Would you be willing to work a weekend Baylor night position? For example would you be willing to work Friday and Saturday nights part time in the hospital if the hospital agreed to it and your...

  6. Yeah! I got my first CM Job!!!

    Mijourney replied to lisa41rn's topic in Case Management

    Congratulation Lisa! Even though I've never done hospital CM, it's all tough to me. What you want to make sure is that you know and understand your role(s) thoroughly and learn how not to cross the...

  7. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    Mijourney replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My understanding is that health insurance has almost always been for catastrophic and chronically ill patients. Health insurance is disease driven. Physicians and other practitioners get paid lots...

  8. Unfulfilled with my current career

    Mijourney replied to 2bNurseguru's topic in Nursing Career

    2b, yes, I know what you mean about unfulfilled. But, it seems as if you have a number of good options. I'm not sure if I would go into debt for a nonurgent situation at this precarious time,...

  10. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    Mijourney replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'll throw my two cents in. I would like to see a system whereby basic health care, prevention if you will, is a right. Anything beyond that should fall on the individual. By having to pay for...

  11. Went for an interview and I need some help!!!

    Mijourney replied to tonksfl's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree. Look at the benefits and the perks. I wouldn't be concerned about a bonus because that usually means that help is hard to come by and frequently nurses don't "work off" their bonuses. If...

  12. Best way to become an RN?

    Mijourney replied to DL400's topic in Nursing Career

    My suggestion is to become a certified nursing assistant or patient care tech and work in that capacity for a while to see if you would even like doing direct patient care. If you decide that after...

  13. Just promoted, but coworkers are mean!

    Mijourney replied to nursechick182's topic in Nurse Management

    Nursechick182, what you describe does sound very treacherous. But, keep in mind you're not working to make friends. Your job, in my opinion, is not a social club. You're working to make a...

  14. Advise please, (Long)

    Mijourney replied to FreezeRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree. Put your bid in for night shift and all the nurse managers can do is say not right now but we'll keep your application on file for the first available. Then periodically keep in touch with...

  15. I have never had to work so hard for a job in my entire life?

    Mijourney replied to MelodyRNurse's topic in Nursing Career

    Crazystudent, I'm sorry you're having a rough time of things. Are you or can you relocate to find the job of your choice? I'm not sure of what's going on either but I know that many hospitals across...

  16. shortage of nursing jobs?

    Mijourney replied to metalgirl70's topic in Nursing Career

    Yes, I agree. I would not worry about a situation until you're faced with it. Meanwhile, focus on doing well in school, getting a tech job, if that's feasible, and maintaining a professional stance....

  17. I'm an oldie but a goodie Nurse getting back into practice

    Mijourney replied to irishnoreenRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Sounds like age discrimination to me. But, I guess you have no concrete proof. Why is it a problem that you are an AD

  18. How can the profit driven , private insurance funded healthcare system be fixed ?

    Mijourney replied to nicurn001's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Mijourney replied to jry7188's topic in Nursing Career

  25. Freedom of speech in health care.

    Mijourney replied to advocateforsafety's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Very thoughtful comments. I feel that alot of the suppression of communication regarding health care has to do with the fact that it is considered a priviledge as opposed to a right. Make certain...
