  5. Nurses, how are you going to vote? 2012 US Presidential Election

    Susie2310 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, the poor rich. I feel terrible that they are going to be made to contribute a little bit more. I feel terrible for single people earning over $200,000, $250,000 for couples, who are going to be...

    Susie2310 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  10. EKG help

    Susie2310 replied to melissacarey's topic in General Students

    To be honest, my thoughts are that if you are a nursing student I think I would just focus my energy on getting through nursing school and passing the licensing exam. In nursing school you are...

    Susie2310 replied to MilliePieRN's topic in Patient Medications

    Susie2310 replied to TraumaJunkieRN's topic in Emergency

  15. Horrified at what I have seen go on in this nursing home

    Susie2310 replied to butterflykisses23's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The OP didn't need to measure the height of the patient's fall for her observations to be credible. The OP observed that the patients safety was not being protected. The OP doesn't need to be licensed...

  16. Good Samaritan laws in the US?

  18. Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    Susie2310 replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What about the people who aren't covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or children's plans, and can't afford or can't obtain insurance because of pre-existing conditions? What about people who are unable to...
