  1. Nursing or Medicine???

    ccso962 replied to PallaviMuraleedharan's topic in General Students

    Good

  2. Nursing or Medicine???

    ccso962 replied to PallaviMuraleedharan's topic in General Students

    Another wonderful post! Gender bias is disappearing, or has disappeared, in most other career fields (last October I had a car wreck and the firefighter who literally broke the door open with their...

  3. ACA Timeline: Key Dates for Providers and Patients

    ccso962 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Just wanted to supply a personal story that sheds light on what you are talking about here. My wife has been being treated for hypertension for years even though she is not yet 30. Her father...

  4. ACA Timeline: Key Dates for Providers and Patients

    ccso962 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes, the thread has veered a little off course, but not a large amount. The OP was posting concerning the rollout of PPACA and the discussion that has followed has been one based on beliefs regarding...

  5. ACA Timeline: Key Dates for Providers and Patients

    ccso962 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I can't really comment for other posters, but for my part yep that is what I was saying (even if I said it in a lot more words). Some other posters, however, made it appear that their place of...

  6. Nursing or Medicine???

    ccso962 replied to PallaviMuraleedharan's topic in General Students

    100% agree. If you surf the internet you will find any number of forums that supposedly are for "physicians" to discuss issues with their school, practice, etc. What I have noticed is that it is...

  7. ACA Timeline: Key Dates for Providers and Patients

    ccso962 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    See this is the kind of thing that to me makes a lot better sense than "sorry you aren't emergent enough for me so here's the door". I think we can all agree that an ingrown toenail is not an...

  8. ACA Timeline: Key Dates for Providers and Patients

    ccso962 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    First, I am sure that elective procedures will grow (they are already a good area of revenue for hospitals). Whether or not a hosptial is under an obligation to treat a specific condition does not...

  9. ACA Timeline: Key Dates for Providers and Patients

    ccso962 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I just thought of something else too. How do the "high acuity or the curb" ERs deal with patients who come to the ER at the request of their PCP? How about the patient that doesn't "present" like a...

  10. ACA Timeline: Key Dates for Providers and Patients

    ccso962 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think the "Fast Track", "Urgent Care Area", "Low Acuity ER", etc. are all better alternatives to just kicking someone out the door. What those who decide to "boot" need to realize is that if they...

  11. ACA Timeline: Key Dates for Providers and Patients

    ccso962 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is the thing that a lot of otherwise well intentioned people seem to miss I think (and again I believe that many miss it completely in error). IF you have more people who want an item BUT you...

  12. ACA Timeline: Key Dates for Providers and Patients

    ccso962 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am aware of several facilities here in the Eastern US that have actually included an Urgent Care, Fast Track ER, Low Acuity ER, call it what they will into their existing hospital structure....

  13. The Night The Fire Died

    ccso962 replied to The_Optimist's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work as a 911 Emergency Communications Officer. At one place I worked there was a man who always liked to take the newbies "under his wing". What he really wanted to do was mostly tell...

  14. The Night The Fire Died

    ccso962 replied to The_Optimist's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know that I agree that everyone who has not taken the "pat em on the back and smile" approach is conversely wishing to making them feel like anything bad (or expletive as you say). I know...

  15. The Night The Fire Died

    ccso962 replied to The_Optimist's topic in General Nursing

    And it is entirely possible also that I just completely misunderstood what exactly you were making comment to as well, so since that appears to be the case then I apologize. That said, I still...

  16. ACA Timeline: Key Dates for Providers and Patients

    ccso962 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am not asking in an attempt to get you to divulge where you work, etc. Rather out of a professional interest alone, would you be willing to state which State these facilities are located in? Your...

  17. ACA Timeline: Key Dates for Providers and Patients

    ccso962 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    WOW! Not sure what part of the country you live in, but the area I live in does not have those types of policies. Discussing this with a family friend who is an attorney he offered the following...

  19. The Night The Fire Died

    ccso962 replied to The_Optimist's topic in General Nursing

    I would go a step further and say that to apply this "motherly myth" for the sake of making the other person feel better is not only inappropriate it is actually hurtful. Would it be "compassionate"...

  20. The Night The Fire Died

    ccso962 replied to The_Optimist's topic in General Nursing

    Wait a minute now before you get too upset over people on this board shunning the poor OP. First, the OP asked for comment on the "story" that was posted. Look at the original post it is there. When...

  21. Out of Work Nurse

    ccso962 replied to kathyshonk66's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I think part of the problem is that many in the News media these days (pick your favorite -- really any one will do) are more interested in commentary than they are reporting news. As such...

  22. ACA Timeline: Key Dates for Providers and Patients

    ccso962 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think it might require more than just rolling out the ACA to really cut the number of primary care visits to the ED unfortunately. Most importantly you have to convince people to actually use a...

    ccso962 replied to The_Optimist's topic in General Nursing

    That is a good

  24. The Night The Fire Died

    ccso962 replied to The_Optimist's topic in General Nursing

    I completely agree that it is always wise to pick your battles. I would also agree with you that some people seem to want the martyrdom more than the change they are seeking. I think this goes back...

  25. The Night The Fire Died

    ccso962 replied to The_Optimist's topic in General Nursing

    Nor did you hear him give up the game just because his views didn't create immediate change. And never forget this man died for his views. He wasn't just belittled, ostracized, or made to feel...
