    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    FMF Corpsman replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    And therein lies the problem. Where reimbursement is already so low it barely pays to care for Medicare/Medicaid pt's and ObamaCare promising to come along and cut an additional 11%, no one is going...

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    FMF Corpsman replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don’t know how many Home Health Practitioners we have on this board, but how have you been affected with any recent cuts in Medicare/Medicaid? In Florida, there have been serious cuts due to the...

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    FMF Corpsman replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    toekneejo, I don't know how many of my blogs you may have read, but I have stated numerous times that I don't play the politically correctness game. In this case by doing so, we are robbing these kids...

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    FMF Corpsman replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This may be slightly off topic, but it relates to our countries, (USA), fiscal responsibilities. Last night on the news, there was a story about a women and her four children who were forced to jump...

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    FMF Corpsman replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm not in the habit of replying to my own post, but I thought perhaps this one was a bit different because it appears a little callous on my part and I thought maybe it could use an explanation. I...

    Well BlueDevil, it is Mercifully a very rapidly growing tumor. Sometimes that is the very best we can hope for. That, and a good pain control

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    FMF Corpsman replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It might be interesting to see what happens in Florida, the governor has boycotted ObamaCare and declined to participate in the Program. He has also been declining other Obama sponsored initiatives...

    Considering just taking boards and be a LPN...does that make me a failure?

    FMF Corpsman replied to FaithGurl93's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    There is an old saying, "Someone else's is opinion of you, is none of your business." There is also an old truth. Those seasoned RN's who were at one time, CNA's and LPN's often make the best...

    Is becoming a nurse really that bad?

    FMF Corpsman replied to luvmykids0810's topic in General Nursing

    There is a saying, "Love what you do, and never work a day in your Life." I was fortunate and I loved what I did. After a career in the Military, I transferred to civilian life, worked, studied, and...

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    FMF Corpsman replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I know, I was supposed to be through with it right? But reference your "they could have eliminated them all together," at 112 million killed, I don't think it was from a lack of trying that they...

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    FMF Corpsman replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Jeweles, I didn't say you killed anyone, I didn't mean to imply you killed anyone or that your immediate family was responsible for anyone's death. My first post to you was made in an effort to clear...

    Ugh, those "I'm so stupid" moments

    FMF Corpsman replied to TheCoppertop's topic in Emergency

    It is tough to go from a trusted position to having to clear everything through someone else. Chances are you will be progressing to a familiar and comfortable spot shortly though, if you are off...

    43 years ago, I became too busy seeing red to notice what the underlying color was and I’ve never started to look since then. All of my Marines addressed me as Doc, as a sign of respect, no matter...

    Excuse me? What exactly does your race have to do with anything here? My conversation with another poster regarding the Indian Wars involves you how? I am merely attempting to correct a mistaken...

    I think I saw in an earlier post that you are from Canada, right? I will take that as the reason you are not as familar with the true history of the American West as someone who was educated in US...

    I'm sorry Jeweles26; it took me about ten times reading this, before I understood what you meant. I still am not certain about the “it went both ways" part. If you are referring to the Native...

    Heroin addict; just for today.

    FMF Corpsman replied to Eirene's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Eirene, First and foremost, Congratulations on your sobriety. I know it is no small feat that you are clean and sober today, so keep up the good work, and keep going to meetings, since you aren't...

    Sexual harrassment?

    FMF Corpsman replied to Flamingonurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It isn’t clear to me how the Charge Nurse knew the guy was sexting to begin with. Nowhere in her original post is there any reference to it. Just the statement where she was required to “right”...

    Sexual harrassment?

    FMF Corpsman replied to Flamingonurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm somewhat astounded by your own over-reaction to the incident. Nursing has been a female dominated field for so long that it is difficult for males to traverse the arena. While I agree that the...

    FMF Corpsman replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That's all well and good, but I didn't go to Viet Nam and get my **** shot off and neither did the 58+ thousand of my brothers and sisters who died for our individual freedoms, just so SOCIETY can...

    Bullies at the work place.. vent

    FMF Corpsman replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No one said you should fear the grammar police, but having a little pride in your work product isn't necessarily a bad thing. If you put out sloppy work here, it goes to show you are just as likely...

    FMF Corpsman replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    BBG, please your ideals are great, but I hope you kept up your Rpt because your new Nursing license may not pay off for very long. Keep inviting people to write you up for all of your mistakes and...
