Incorporation does not remove one's right to manage your business according to your ethical and belief's system. Incorporation does not make you inhuman.

Last I check, the law does not guarantee subsidy for contraception. The ruling was based on the Constitution- not feelings or junk science. Your need to reduce it because you don't agree with it is - oh- intellectually dishonest.

Yup. If Hobby Lobby never paid a dime towards their employees' contraception, those employees could still do whatever they want. Their employer may not cover it, but they can still do it- and it would be none of Hobby Lobby's business- nor their e...

Somewhere along the line, we've forgotten that every business is someone's business. Publicly traded does not mean public property. Benefits are benefits, not entitlements. These fundamental facts have been muddled to the point where peop...

Gotta do homework before you sign up. If that's their belief, it's their belief. You still have the option to purchase health insurance on your own and access any health care you feel is necessary. You're not stuck.

So- Hobby Lobby should just go all the way and totally violate their conscience because they have stuff from China? Seriously?!

The SCOTUS decision wasn't about family planning. It was about who's gonna pay for it. If no one gave you a nickel, you can still engage in responsible family planning. Conflated issues.

Last I checked, there weren't sizable numbers of women dying because their employer didn't subsidize their birth control. Perhaps you could provide information that points to employer subsidy and pregnancy. I'm sure that'd be interesting.

The Supreme Court did not rule on pregnancy. It ruled on the company's right to pay for types of birth control or not. Women were pregnant before Hobby Lobby and they will be getting pregnant after Hobby Lobby is long gone. You're conflating the iss...

It is NOT about contraception. It's about who's gonna pay for it. It's about MONEY!

This is NOT a woman's health issue. The vast majority of women do not require birth control to maintain good health. It's not mandatory. It's optional. Unless you have a medical condition for which BC is curative or helps to manage, birth control ...

I find it disheartening that many people are commenting on the case without a thorough understanding of EXACTLY what the decision stated. Somewhere along the line, we've forgotten that every business is someone's business. Publicly traded is not pu...

It's good you had a positive experience. It doesn't mean there isn't a need for some schools to improve. Reasonable, mindful evaluation of nursing education in general requires objectivism, not optimism or pessimism. Nursing education should be su...

Excellent, excellent observations! For a few years, I've asked similar questions. Perhaps registered nursing education needs to be expanded. Patient care is the goal of nursing. Nursing education should reflect that proportionately. I advocate f...

Hey folks! Admitted spring 2014. Just wanted to wish everyone who applied and hung there congratulations for your hard work and for the way you guys encourage each other on! Quesersera: Bummer! You've been hanging in there so long! Hope you get AD...

Way cool!!! I was supposed to take one in December but it was cancelled and rescheduled for January. I thought it was going to be a fairly quiet winter but the list just grows longer. Two orientations, CPR, getting parking passes, picking up IDs,...

Really?!?!?!?!?

I too was taken aback at how some seemed to be bragging or blase about being pulled over for excessive speeding! It might be courtesy if you get off the hook because you're rushing in for an urgent medical call/situation. Otherwise, if a cop deci...

Wow- the waiting ended for most and it seems like the party is over. Any more word on folks that are wait-listed?

Does this mean that ONLY people with a masters as an APN are intelligent and aware enough to understand that this is a controversial topic, even among the intelligentsia in nursing? All you learned people crack me up!

Once again, my concern with the type of education gets ignored. Just because you learn something doesn't mean that something offers you greater expertise, or makes you a better clinician or a worse one. Rather than attacking me, perhaps you should...

It is you who likes to play UP your advanced degree. I don't begrudge education and I made that crystal clear in previous postings. I think your defensiveness has obscured that fact from your view. As I stated before, the issue with advanced educat...

You obviously WISH I didn't know what I was talking about. I may not have the exact same training as you but I am intelligent enough to discern issues for myself. It is attitudes like those you display in this discussion that makes advanced educatio...

EASY- it's called reading comprehension. That's a skill you have BEFORE you get to nursing school. A master's degree is not required to pick up nursing research, read it and assimilate it. That's basic high school stuff! A reasonably intelligent ...

If that's the premise of the argument, then nurses would just be playing copycat and trying to keep up with the Joneses. Perhaps a good reply is that many nurses demonstrate a level of competency and knowledge equal to their peers without a bunch of...
