  1. Global Health anyone?

    Mijourney replied to christvs's topic in Public, Community Health

    Lifelong learning is important to keep you motivated and stimulated. Congratulations on your achievements thus far! I think you are doing plenty to impact a community. Whether it is one person at a...

  2. ANCC and the APHN-BC

    Mijourney replied to Aggie RN's topic in Public, Community Health

    I too was informed that the reason for the discontinuance of the APHN-BC credential was due to low numbers of applications. I wonder, however, if that will change in the future as population health is...

  3. MSN-NP: American Sentinel vs University of Florida

    Mijourney replied to LovelyBlue's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I personally would stick with UF. I do not believe American Sentinel and UF are in the same league. American Sentinel is not accredited by gold standard regional authorities as UF is. American...

  4. NP program with low gpa

    Mijourney replied to SchoolRN2018's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I understand the need to admit fully qualified people to a program. You want nurses that will do well in studies and pass any applicable certification tests the first time around. But, if your BSN is...

  5. Capitalism vs. Greed: What Has Been the Nursing Impact

    Mijourney posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Capitalism seemingly started off as a good ideal but has gone awry in the U.S. according to my readings. Capitalism has impacted healthcare for a long time. Now greed, or extreme capitalism, seems to...

  6. What would a single payer system look like?

    Mijourney replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The problem with a single payer program in real time is that it will still emphasize sick care. In the U.S., our coding system for diagnoses and procedures is all about sick care. I envision a single...

  7. Capitalism vs. Greed: What Has Been the Nursing Impact

    Mijourney replied to Mijourney's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Avid, you make great points. But believe it or not, my concern is not just with who is in the white house (he is just a microcosym of society), it is with the people within this country that seemingly...

  8. Capitalism vs. Greed: What Has Been the Nursing Impact

    Mijourney replied to Mijourney's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So, if noted authorities in our great U.S.A. says that we were "founded" on Judeo-Christian principles, where did this mentality go when it came to executing healthcare? Was it ever there? Both the...

  9. Capitalism vs. Greed: What Has Been the Nursing Impact

    Mijourney replied to Mijourney's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So Avid, just to put things in a perspective, do you see health care as a priviledge, right, or necessity? I get a bit flustered when someone talks about their rights because that is different then...

  10. Capitalism vs. Greed: What Has Been the Nursing Impact

    Mijourney replied to Mijourney's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There are reportedly reputable sources that offer some information on health spending and health status. The World Health Organization (WHO) is one entity. Below is a link to another entity. U.S....

  11. Capitalism vs. Greed: What Has Been the Nursing Impact

    Mijourney replied to Mijourney's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oh and if anyone responds to my topic, please consider the ACHA that was announced today, which is supposed to be the answer to the ACA. The media accounts I reviewed, did not indicate where nurses...

  12. So what's going to happen to health care now?

    Mijourney replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    OK, I have been on my computer for several hours now, sitting. That is a health risk in and of itself. Should I be punished by paying to be in a high risk insurance pool because my chronic disease(s)...

  13. How can I enter the world of Holistic Medicine ?

    Mijourney replied to Fromashes96's topic in Holistic

    It is true that nursing care should be directed holistically, but in this case there are actual graduate nursing programs that specialize in holistic nursing and that is what I was inquiring about. In...

  14. How can I enter the world of Holistic Medicine ?

    Mijourney replied to Fromashes96's topic in Holistic

    Hi All, I have been an RN for a long time. I am ready to move from disease(d) or sickness care to prevention and wellness. I find that holistic nursing is an area of interest for me. Can anyone tell...

  15. Kudos to floor nurses

    Mijourney replied to hodgieRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Thanks to all of you who provide direct care. You're

  16. case management certification for case management?

    Mijourney replied to santacon's topic in Case Management

    I agree with Esme12. More and more employers are requiring certified employees to show the accreditation agencies as well as the public that they meet quality standards and that a high level of...

  17. Residencies: doctors have it figured out

    Mijourney replied to Amistad's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You make a good point SummitRN about the training for physicians and the training for nurses. As the scope of nursing practice expands, nurse residencies make good sense. Patient care has become too...

  18. Residencies: doctors have it figured out

    Mijourney replied to Amistad's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Couldn't agree

  19. Stop complaining about your job - It could be worse.

    Mijourney replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    In my nursing career, I have been through trials and tribulations as no doubt many of us have. I do think that attitude plays a huge part in how we approach our jobs and how we respond to the...

  20. Residencies: doctors have it figured out

    Mijourney replied to Amistad's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    PMFB-RN, I think that it does not settle well for you to imply that four year nurses are mostly nerdy with limited life experiences. I think what is important is whether the nursing profession is...

  21. Changing the Conversation - Escape Fire

    Mijourney replied to Mijourney's topic in Holistic

    What I was disappointed by was that there were no nurses, that I saw, presented as experts on health care. We still stand clearly in the shadow of physicians. I think it would have been interesting to...

  22. Changing the Conversation - Escape Fire

    Mijourney posted a topic in Holistic

    I just saw a good 2012 documentary called Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare.It is a great segway into further discussions on how to move medical and healthcare practice into the...

  23. Residencies: doctors have it figured out

    Mijourney replied to Amistad's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yes, PMFB-RN, you are correct on certain levels. But, more and more jobs are being automated and outsourced as we write and those jobs will never come back. Currently, we are faced with the health...

  24. Residencies: doctors have it figured out

    Mijourney replied to Amistad's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    PMFB-RN, your points are well taken. I think a growing number of nurses are opting for graduate education, especially nurse practitioner, because these nurses have more autonomy and potential for...

  25. Residencies: doctors have it figured out

    Mijourney replied to Amistad's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Katie, I agree with much of what you write but the nurses are in the hole not only because of external forces such as the AMA but because we refuse to get our act together. I know of several people...
