  1. Is there a flu outbreak in your area?

    Not in CA yet, hopefully never! Not many people ever go out of the state (just stay within it for touristy), so that's good
  2. Petition to help new grads get experience

    The nursing colleges in my area get 200 applicants each semester and only accept 40. Another has a 3 year waiting list. It's like this all around the country. You have to have a 4.0 to get in, great entry test scores, and even then you might not get ...
  3. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    All I can say is that the American Nursing Association supports it and a long list of authorities and studies
  4. Today's Dr. Phil shocker: Nursing home abuse

    I *did* in-home care for a woman with Alzheimers. I've also *helped* people do in-home care for non-relatives. (The assumptions that I don't have first hand experience is WRONG, actually, without that experience I had little to no opinion on the subj...
  5. Win CASH! New Year Nursing Caption Contest - $100

    Time to do the Defillibrator New Year Macarena!
  6. Today's Dr. Phil shocker: Nursing home abuse

    Considering that a person is caring for another human being's welfare, $18,000 is not very much money, especially when it is a family member. I would pay $1,000,000 if I had that money even if it made me 100% broke.... (Which is more important a pers...
  7. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    If people think anyone who disagrees with the use of definitions, data, statistics, and scientific evidence is being "condescending" then I don't know how anyone could possibly have a logically-based debate. How do those scientists, physicians, resea...
  8. False accusations.

    We like to joke that it's not "right to work" but the "right to get fired." Anyhow, the only negative is the 30 minutes for EMT/ambulance to arrive. It seems heinous that it would take 30 minutes for them to come for two severely broken legs. The re...
  9. Today's Dr. Phil shocker: Nursing home abuse

    The video of this is here: http://drphil.com/shows/show/1949/# This is disturbing. There are many injuries and cuts (one going across the entire arm and deep), and an unbelievable amount of bruises everywhere. Clearly this is abuse. If a person talk...
  10. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    Everyone, all these chop ups of my post is called Shotgun argumentation - the arguer offers such a large number of arguments for their position that the opponent can't possibly respond to all of them.[35] (See "Argument by verbosity" and "Gish Gall...
  11. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    Did you know that your state (WI) has gun regulation laws? Indeed, it receives a grade of C-. The D and F states I was referring are the prime examples of not enough laws for protecting their residents, they mostly have the highest gun-death rates (...
  12. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    Msn10, how does being a cheesehead and liking the Packers have anything to do with gun control? This is a hasty generalization and a logical fallacy. It's called trying to falsely bandwagon, another fallacy. As far as I know, you have more people who...
  13. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    I write posts with bolded emphasis and in quotes because if I wrote it any other way no one would read it. Who wants to read some large essay? No one pays attention to essays, they want to read bold headlines with drama and flare. I honestly don't th...
  14. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    I used to live in Arizona and it has an unbelievable gun-death problem. They also have some (if not the) most relaxed state gun laws in the country, receiving an F grade. There would be people shooting guns very close to where I lived in the middle o...
  15. Implications of Obamacare... what's your opinion?

    Look at the numerous amounts of evidence: Flickr: Tea_Party_Racism_Truth's Photostream (Over 100 screenshots of their racist comments... and only to page 36 or so of their website out of 100's of pages) Look at their main website:teaparty.org (They c...
  16. How can I spiritually learn this...

    Brilliant! God is good! When you need help or guidance, ask him to stand beside you. I remember hearing this story (not certain where it comes from) where there was a man who was walking on the beach and he would leave foot prints in the sand. A pair...
  17. Implications of Obamacare... what's your opinion?

    This is interesting from the OECD study as well: Heath Insurance coverage for core set of services (Rank 4th lowest out of 34 countries) and Private Health Insurance coverage, by type (This doesn't show America on this chart, but it shows Iceland's ...
  18. Implications of Obamacare... what's your opinion?

    They are because of their origins. Who started the term "Obamacare"? The TP. What was on their signs at the rallies? The word "Obamacare" and pictures of the president as a baboon, tribal pictures and various racist images and words. There are then p...
  19. Implications of Obamacare... what's your opinion?

    WILL EVERYONE JUST STOP USING THE TERM "Obama Care." It was started and used by extreme racism at Tea Party rallies in 2009 (and still is being used). It has the same implications as "Hillary Care" did in the 1990's of having sexist motives. This is ...
  20. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    Medical Error is a world-wide problem and has no relationship with gun control laws or the number of guns owned. "One reason for the observation that system-wide progress in patient safety is slow is that compliance even with simple and inexpensiv...
  21. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    I am not subject to your questions or what you want me to do. This is a public forum where I can post whatever, wherever I want to and when I want to. If you don't like it, you do not have to answer. You can cherry pick what you want to discuss while...
  22. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    You just used Ad Hominem, Red Herring, and Poisoning the Well... However, as you can see above, homicides and suicides (over half, nearing 16,000) (which neither are classified as "self defense," which is actually far more unusual than has been clai...
  23. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    ((HM-8406, here is the proof regarding the shortening of American's life spans as a result of firearm deaths)) "The Journal of Risk and Insurance, 2005, Vol. 72, No. 3, 359-374 THE COST OF FIREARM DEATHS IN THE UNITED STATES: REDUCED LIFE EXPECTANC...
  24. I think I'm done with nursing.

    I know you love nursing, this is wonderful, but with herniated discs, I don't think nursing is the right career for you. I don't know if you have standing or sitting problems (i.e., have to rotate from standing to sitting and vice versa to avoid pain...
  25. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    HM-8404, according to the National Gang Center of the Bureau of Justice Assistance, gang-related homicides only count for about 2,000 (12%, meaning a ginormous 88% of gun-homicides are by those who are not gang members) out of all homicides (and 15,0...
