    SycamoreGuy replied to Ms.futureRN's topic in General Students

  6. Let's talk: Nursing Shortage?

    SycamoreGuy replied to Yellow90's topic in General Nursing

    It really depends on where you are, I'm still not sure I'd call it a shortage but rural areas do have a greater need at this time than big urban

    SycamoreGuy replied to nija315's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    For something that was a "conservative right-wing agenda" the Dems fought pretty hard to make and keep it the law of the land. Heck, they passed it without a single republican vote! Too bad...

    You mean with a $6000 deductible, yeah that's a great plan! I can say I have health insurance but I still can't afford to go to the doctor!

    SycamoreGuy replied to nija315's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Only 1.2 million of those 8million didn't already have coverage before the ACA. Don't you think there should have been a way to insure those 1.2 million without forcing the other 6.8 million to buy a...

    SycamoreGuy replied to nija315's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Actually a lot of the founders did want to abolish slavery but creating a stable and united country was more important at the time. In any case, you are missing the point. The point is that the...

    SycamoreGuy replied to nija315's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    SycamoreGuy replied to kelligracie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    The theory is that it helps patients ID who is caring for them. I.e. If they have dark blue scrubs they are a nurse, green for PCAs, brown for RT, red for PT, grey for radiology, etc. Of course that...

    SycamoreGuy replied to nija315's topic in Activism, Healthcare
