  1. Obamacare and Nursing.. what do you think?

    Dewman replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Absolutely correct, pmabraham, on all

  2. Discouraged is an understatement! (CNA)

    Dewman replied to Nicole_22's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Nicole, only you can decide. But what you have described is INCREDIBLY unprofessional behavior on the part of your co-workers and the DON. It's often true that nurses eat their young, but what you...

  3. If you could just pick up and leave, where would you go?

    Dewman replied to JNursee's topic in General Nursing

    Eastern Tennessee, in the mountains. Beautiful

  4. The Agony of Da-Feet

    Dewman replied to Dewman's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! Custom inserts from a podiatrist is not something I'd considered, but it makes a lot of

  5. Are we needed?

    Dewman replied to Joshhelpingothers's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm not sure of the market in Texas, but in Indiana, there is a glut of nurses (as opposed to what you are told in nursing school). Newbies around here will RARELY get a job in acute care. Which is...

  6. Obamacare and Nursing.. what do you think?

    Dewman replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well, you've hit nearly all of the tired, worn-out, DNC talking points, like I would expect from someone so deeply in the tank. Peace.

  7. Strike nursing

    Dewman replied to trulefty's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    "Huh? Name calling? If you're referring to the term "scab", that's the term for someone who crosses picket lines to do the jobs of those who are on strike." True, but it is ALSO "name-calling", of...

  8. Obamacare and Nursing.. what do you think?

    Dewman replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes, hate. Really. Yours. And for someone who pointed out to ME that this thread was about Obamacare (aka, the Unaffordable Care Act), you certainly spend a lot of time fixated on things you hate...

  9. Obamacare and Nursing.. what do you think?

    Dewman replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Tissue? It is revealing that you yourself are so blinded by hate of the previous administration, that you cannot see any of the blatant shortcomings of the current. You are guilty of the very same...

  10. Obamacare and Nursing.. what do you think?

    Dewman replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I suspect that you do not have the capacity to "politely" do

  11. Obamacare and Nursing.. what do you think?

    Dewman replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    "...a few "lies" of the Obama administration..." Wow. You are even more "in the tank" for Obama than I would have believed humanly possible. BTW, the Obama administration's deceit reached the level...

  12. Obamacare and Nursing.. what do you think?

    Dewman replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No, you aren't "politely waiting", or anything remotely

  13. If we had a conservative nurses forum

    Dewman replied to FLmomof5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Another conservative nurse

  14. Obamacare and Nursing.. what do you think?

    Dewman replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Agreed.

  15. Obamacare and Nursing.. what do you think?

    Dewman replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    "...I am some sort of Obamabot..." If the shoe fits... I am not the one who started with the political slander in this convo. If you want a factual, non-biased discussion, then remain factual and...

  16. Obamacare and Nursing.. what do you think?

    Dewman replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I didn't miss anything of the sort. Most young people AREN'T signing

  17. Obamacare and Nursing.. what do you think?

    Dewman replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    "You are certainly allowed your own opinions about the ACA but not your own facts." This cliche' is what people say when they want to infer that OTHER'S opinions are baseless, but THEIR opinions...

  18. Obamacare and Nursing.. what do you think?

    Dewman replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    "It is important to remember that the concept of the ACA is a conservative approach to the problem. It was born in The Heritage Foundation and trialed by a Republican governor on a state level."...

  19. Obamacare and Nursing.. what do you think?

    Dewman replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It DOES "force" people to have insurance, or pay a penalty. Unless you are in one of the many groups which have been granted (temporary) exemptions from the penalty. But the penalty right now is...

  20. Obamacare and Nursing.. what do you think?

    Dewman replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well, since we're being political: Obamacare is fatally flawed by design. It is financially unsupportable, primarily because the "young immortals" who would pay premiums but not financially drain the...

  21. LPN making 70,000 a year

    Dewman replied to athenaspell2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Where in the H did you find an LPN job that pays $70K a

  22. Downsizing coming to LTC

    Dewman replied to dnsonthego's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Whoa, Bucky. Kinda harsh, don't you think? I my experience, it is the nursing schools themselves that perpetuate the notions that (A) there is a nursing shortage, and (B) Nursing students should...

  23. 57+ and starting a nursing career

    Dewman replied to kelleytison's topic in General Students

    Thanks, Kelley. I probably WILL go back to engineering - even if I have to travel MUCH farther to work. And it IS nice having that as a fallback position. Good luck in your decision. And BTW, I...

  24. Obamacare? what are your thoughts

    Dewman replied to nija315's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I haven't spoken to a single person in healthcare who thinks O'care is a good thing. Think of it as the problems with the VA, but writ

  25. 57+ and starting a nursing career

    Dewman replied to kelleytison's topic in General Students

    Kelley, I am a guy, and I too went back to school to study nursing as a second career. I graduated with my ASN when I was 55, and I am 57 now. It was nice to know that I still had the mental ability...
