  1. Out of Work Nurse

    ccso962 replied to kathyshonk66's topic in General Nursing

    Also being unemployed, I can understand your frustration. I would also like to point out that having something "lined up" is not always sure fire. I had that "lined up" job when I left Florida....

  2. Out of Work Nurse

    ccso962 replied to kathyshonk66's topic in General Nursing

    Here is just one fairly recent article from Forbes Magazine about yet another decision by the White House to delay another part of this apparently great bill. Yet Another White House Obamacare...

  3. Out of Work Nurse

    ccso962 replied to kathyshonk66's topic in General Nursing

    I would say the main problem with healthcare in this country is health insurance. The ACA was supposed to take care of that, but it did not. My wife's insurance has gone up (say what you will about...

  4. Nursing or Medicine???

    ccso962 replied to PallaviMuraleedharan's topic in General Students

    I think a lot of the "gotta be a doctor" hype comes from the way doctors are portrayed in the media. What I mean is that most shows, even "real life" shows like Boston Med or NY ER, do a really good...

  5. Will the economy ever get better so less people will pursue nursing?

    ccso962 replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Nursing

    I think the economy is pretty bad across most of the world. It is worse in some places than others, and of course there will always be the economists who wish to remain employed who will, from month...

  6. The Night The Fire Died

    ccso962 replied to The_Optimist's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. At the expense of sounding rude, in my humble opinion feeling the "fire" for a job and gauging its intensity is not the best way to access whether or not you are in the "right" career to...

  7. The Night The Fire Died

    ccso962 replied to The_Optimist's topic in General Nursing

    I think the OP's post speaks loads about the way people view careers in American Society in general. Right or wrong, good or bad, not everyone is going to make a major "difference" in their...

  8. The Night The Fire Died

    ccso962 replied to The_Optimist's topic in General Nursing

    While I understand what you are trying to say here (and I am by no means trying to be rude) there is a fair amount of generalizing taking place here. First, you are generalizing the South based on...

  9. Out of Work Nurse

    ccso962 replied to kathyshonk66's topic in General Nursing

    And will continue to run them off, no doubt, long after he is gone. This, however, does nothing to correct the train wreck that is PPACA. Nor does it mean that PPACA will not contribute (even if...

  10. Out of Work Nurse

    ccso962 replied to kathyshonk66's topic in General Nursing

    And then there are also areas of the US, sadly, where the "shortage" or "saturation" arguments are bounced back and forth to create whatever the desired outcome at that time is. "Shortage" is used to...

  11. Out of Work Nurse

    ccso962 replied to kathyshonk66's topic in General Nursing

    This type of thing, sadly, is not restricted to nursing. I know a man who applied for a part time security officer job at a mall and was told he was "over qualified" because he had prior law...

  12. Nursing or Medicine???

    ccso962 replied to PallaviMuraleedharan's topic in General Students

    And I would add real education not indoctrination or the pushing of an agenda. Like you I feel that way too many times people decide on a career based on their perceived understanding of how that...

  13. Nursing or Medicine???

    ccso962 replied to PallaviMuraleedharan's topic in General Students

    Thanks for your very kind comments! Stay safe out

  14. Nursing or Medicine???

    ccso962 replied to PallaviMuraleedharan's topic in General Students

    And they are very good opinions. There is something to be said about thinking about work-life balance and what really makes you happy prior to jumping into a career. Of course, you can always change...

  15. Will the economy ever get better so less people will pursue nursing?

    ccso962 replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Nursing

  16. Nursing or Medicine???

    ccso962 replied to PallaviMuraleedharan's topic in General Students

    Sorry it has taken me so long to respond to this. Life has been a little hectic lately, but such is the way of things sometimes. Along the lines of what you mentioned, I read an article the other...

  17. 2015 DNP

    ccso962 replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think the argument could be made that title of the degree aside any APN degree is a professional degree and not an academic/research degree and as such the number of credit hours do not have to...

  18. 2015 DNP

    ccso962 replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    With absolutely no disrespect meant, this argument is a logical fallacy. It implies, as arguments of this type always do in any number of fields (not just healthcare), that a set number of...

  19. Nursing or Medicine???

    ccso962 replied to PallaviMuraleedharan's topic in General Students

    Even though this thread is somewhat old I thought I would make an observation. Some of the "physician versus nurse" rhetoric that we hear in this country is strictly because of American cultural...

  20. hypertensive emergency?

    ccso962 replied to conscientiousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    With regards to the Urgent Care issue, my wife (who has hypertension and family history of renal failure) was sent immediately to the ER by the physician at an urgent care clinic she stopped in once...

  21. Will the economy ever get better so less people will pursue nursing?

    ccso962 replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Nursing

    Yep you can't outsource nurses, but what you CAN do, at least as a government, is allow non-citizens to take places in nursing schools that could be made available to citizens. You CAN allow nurse...

  22. hypertensive emergency?

    ccso962 replied to conscientiousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the just of this post, and to be honest this does work with a patient-practitioner relationship in most cases. The only thing that might make this particular situation different is the...

  23. hypertensive emergency?

    ccso962 replied to conscientiousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    The ER doesn't sound like a bad idea, but with that it depends on the competency of the ER doctor as to what he/she would do next. I don't mean that rude, but my wife (who has since been placed on...

  24. New DON encourages tattle-tails

    ccso962 replied to Kashia's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with some of the other posters that the motives or intentions of the DON has to be taken in to consideration. That said I have worked at a place (outside of a hospital or LTC facility but...

  25. Will the economy ever get better so less people will pursue nursing?

    ccso962 replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Nursing

    I have done as you suggested and posted information on that forum. I hope that at least some of the information I was able to provide there is able to help someone in their search for a job.
