  1. Medicare Patients Still Paying Very High Prices for Medication

    grannynurse FNP student replied to SueBee RN-BSN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    There is a difference between your MIL's gap and Rx insurance/Medicare and mine. While we both have the same type of Medicare, we most likely do not have access to the same price of gap coverage and...

  2. Nursing Unions-what is the good,bad, ugly?

    grannynurse FNP student replied to johnson0424's topic in General Nursing

    It is more then just preventing the company from going bankrupt. One thing that people fail to realize and recognize, is the failure of the companies to adequately put aside the funding for their...

  3. Medicare

    grannynurse FNP student replied to littlehobo's topic in International Nursing

    Is that $110 a year? If it is, it is a bargain. I read in today's New York Times about the growth of private hospitals in Canada. Part of the reason given is a three week to nine week wait for...

  4. Medicare Patients Still Paying Very High Prices for Medication

    grannynurse FNP student replied to SueBee RN-BSN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I am not surprised at anything. Part D is a big give a way to the drug companies. I haven't pick out a provider yet but have narrowed it down to two. I am waiting to see what happens during the...

  5. Medicare For All H.R. 676

    grannynurse FNP student replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well my father put in 28 years. And a brother put in 22 years. And they are entitled to everything they have gotten and a few things that have been taken away from them. It is the fault of a...

  6. Getting Along- The Union Debate

    grannynurse FNP student replied to mobilsurgrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    To answer your question regarding our professional body. We have state nurses associations. In a large number of states, they are the 'union' of representation of some nurses. Here, our unions are...

  7. Medicare For All H.R. 676

    grannynurse FNP student replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What you and I fail to see is the free market system. Bushie loves this market, he gets to hand out contracts to his friends and they get to make money off of us and our military. And we should not...

  8. Nursing Unions-what is the good,bad, ugly?

    grannynurse FNP student replied to johnson0424's topic in General Nursing

    Good point but you skipped one thing. It is the employer who has reduced those pensions. And they were able to do it because of changes in the federal laws.

  9. Medicare For All H.R. 676

    grannynurse FNP student replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Salaries for physicians and upper management yes. And all their demands for all those expensive tools they say they need. Nurses are still asmong the most poorly paid. I think one of the reasons...

  10. Medicare

    grannynurse FNP student replied to littlehobo's topic in International Nursing

    Think I could call Victoria 911 the next time I need an ambulance. One of the reason's I hesitate to call one, here in Florida, is cost. And ours comes from our county's fire department. Last...

  11. Medicare For All H.R. 676

    grannynurse FNP student replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I love it when someone attempts to justify the huge healthcare expenses as a result of a 'free market system'. Why not just come out and say it, greedy is what drives the free market saystem. Scrrew...

  12. Medicare

    grannynurse FNP student replied to littlehobo's topic in International Nursing

    I spent my younger years studying the different health care systems of this world. I have been struck by the expense of my country and the lack of it in others. I have not been scared off by the...

  13. Medicare For All H.R. 676

    grannynurse FNP student replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I once escorted a physician, from Great Britain, around various hospitals in New York City. He was struck by the fact that every hospital had it's own CT scan (they were brand new back then). I...

  14. Nursing Unions-what is the good,bad, ugly?

    grannynurse FNP student replied to johnson0424's topic in General Nursing

    What does the NYSNA say? What are they advising you to do. As your representatives, which does not change because you were bought out, taken to them? I am wondering where you are located....

  15. Medicaid. Is it being abused?

    grannynurse FNP student replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

    Actually, I investigated abusers on both sides, providers and users. And my partner and I were unusual, as we worked directly under the Associate Commissioner for New York City, Department of Health,...

  16. Medicare

    grannynurse FNP student replied to littlehobo's topic in International Nursing

    Here in the States, our system is a little different. We just had Part D, medication coverage take effect. You have to choose a provider (40 in my state). They generally have a variety of plans,...

  17. Too many injuries on job, need another job,? leaving nursing

    grannynurse FNP student replied to applesRN's topic in General Nursing

    The MRI was negative. There's no proof (thus far) that it's anything worse than a sprain/ strain that is taking a long time to heal. Would it still be good to contact an attorney? I think that they...

  18. Nursing Unions-what is the good,bad, ugly?

    grannynurse FNP student replied to johnson0424's topic in General Nursing

    You are incorrect when you say they do not represent you. Don't you enjoy the same benefits that those who belong to the union do? Don't you receive the same pay they do? Don't you receive the same...

  19. Medicare For All H.R. 676

    grannynurse FNP student replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I have always documented extremely well and provided competent care. And it was my documentation, in both cases, that saved me. Most nurses do not get sued. And those that do, did not necessarily...

    My question too. She needs to be more specific.

  21. Medicare Diabetic Program

    grannynurse FNP student posted a topic in General Nursing

    I finally got the packet that was promised to me. The service is being provided by Green Ribbon Health. I have never heard of it. Has anyone? It came with a nice booklet "Living Your Life With...

  22. Too many injuries on job, need another job,? leaving nursing

    grannynurse FNP student replied to applesRN's topic in General Nursing

    Your question are quite intuitive. I was injuried on the job and was seen by an ortho for a low back problem. He returned me to work, after two months, saying I had low back strain. I worked...

  23. Teaching a patient who can't read

    grannynurse FNP student replied to NephroBSN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I once had a patient who was functionally illiterate and was 80. I spoke to him about learning to read, even at his age, and he agreed it was something he had always wanted to learn. But he allowed...

  24. Nursing Unions-what is the good,bad, ugly?

    grannynurse FNP student replied to johnson0424's topic in General Nursing

    I worked for the state of Florida, under the 'union' FNA. My employer tried to terminate me, unjustly, and I turned to the FNA for help. Help ha. They sided with my administrator. Fortunately, I...

  25. Medicare

    grannynurse FNP student replied to littlehobo's topic in International Nursing

    I know this is the wrong thread but if you are disabled and on U.S. Medicare, most of us cannot afford the 'gap' policy. Pre-existing conditions cause the cost to go just too high for most of us to...
