  2. If we had a conservative nurses forum

    dp1200 replied to FLmomof5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You are right - my Constitutional philosophy IS aligned with Jefferson and Madison, and Hamilton's opposing view did eventually win out, as shown by our long slow side into socialism. Let's keep in...

  3. ANA Files Amicus Brief in Support of Health Insurance Requirement

    dp1200 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There is great profit in the production, distribution, and sale of food. There is great profit in the production, distribution, and sale of clothing. There is great profit in the production,...

  4. Vent thread "universal" health care

    dp1200 replied to mauxtav8r's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Invalid analogy. Everyone who drives carries car insurance; although I think there are still some states that do not require it, presumably a driver can still be personally sued if he harms someone...

  5. Part of Health Care Law Ruled Unconstitutional

    dp1200 replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I do not understand why people think that socializing healthcare removes the profit motive. All it does is shift it from the more efficient private sector to government bureaucracy which, being a...

  6. News concerning ACA. Whats this mean to you?

    dp1200 replied to eriksoln's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The House passed the bill to repeal Obamacare, but it will be dead in the Senate because the Democrats still have control there. More important will be the various legal challenges to Obamacare...

  7. If we had a conservative nurses forum

    dp1200 replied to FLmomof5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    this is another unfortunate misunderstanding of our constitution. you are making the common mistake of interpreting a1-s8 as a completely unbounded, undefined, blank check for congress to do anything...

  8. After Health Care reform.. NP vs PA

    dp1200 replied to monkago2009's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The gradual socialization of our healthcare system will likely be an indirect benefit to both NP and PA alike, simply because it will squeeze resources and increase costs of healthcare even more than...

  10. If we had a conservative nurses forum

    dp1200 replied to FLmomof5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Let's apply some critical thinking here rather than just accepting this assertion at face value. This "study" you linked to above is 14 years old, and the "measures" used to compile the ranking are...

  11. If we had a conservative nurses forum

    dp1200 replied to FLmomof5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am not a nurse yet, but I am in school and currently working in healthcare. I'm very much a small-government fiscal conservative and think the Federal government is out of control, much larger and...

  12. Where do state BONs stand on the DNP issue?

    dp1200 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Does anyone have any insight into how this intended move to DNP is being received by any state BONs? After all, none of this really matters much if the states continue to license Master's level...

  13. For Direct Entry MSN students - how do you know what to specalize in?

    dp1200 replied to rd290's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I agree with the previous poster about getting some sort of health care experience. Not only willl this help you sort out what direction you want to go in, it will help you get your foot in the door...

  14. What other schools are dropping MSN for DNP?

    dp1200 replied to smkiya's topic in Post Graduate Students

    That's how I see it too. I'm baffled by this move to the DNP, and I don't see how it's going to do anything but utterly kill the NP level of provider while increasing healthcare costs. It's not good...

  15. Take the lpn route in this economy?

    dp1200 replied to beachmum's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I am in a somewhat similar position - married guy in my 40s, kids, mortgage, etc, making a change into healthcare from an unrelated education & work background. From what I can tell, best thing...

  16. Massive RN Layoffs

    dp1200 replied to Obamacare's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Mediajunkie: when has any government program EVER come in on or under budget? When have cost projections ever been anything other than grossly understated? And does this positive spin include the cost...

  17. Massive RN Layoffs

    dp1200 replied to Obamacare's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    well, all i can say is that ma has been struggling under its own local version of obamacare for the past few years now, with disastrous effect. umass memorial in worcester closed an entire wing and...
