  1. uWorld for NCLEX prep, need advice.

    I got u world in early December, did all 2000 questions and my averages were 60-65%. I took two assessments and scored in the 80th percentile with a very high chance of passing nclex. I took the exam 1/10 and passed with 75 questions. I love U world ...
  2. Nurses with children always go home early?

    On a similar yet unrelated topic.. where is my tax credit for not having kids and adding to the population? I mean... CA is mulling over not charging certain property tax that goes to pay for public schools.. if they don't have kids themselves. It wo...
  3. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I think Americans think If something is provided for them it's free. Which is just silly but we are talking about an imaginary world here where healthcare for all wouldn't cost 34 trillion over a 10 year span and peop...
  4. The reason I cringe at the any mention of Universal health care systems is because of what you just mentioned. That sounds like a great alternative
  5. Raising minimum wage ..RN Salaries increase?

    Many states offer a version of this for 2 year institutions. As long as a state could do this and not raise taxes on their citizens exponentially it would be great. I just don't think federal govt should be involved what so ever. Just put a few requi...
  6. Raising minimum wage ..RN Salaries increase?

    Seattle Minimum Wage Policy Cost Workers Money, Study Says There are about 10 other articles that back this up. Doesn't really sound like it's working out as planned.
  7. Raising minimum wage ..RN Salaries increase?

    Accountability for someone's life falls in their own hands. If someone wants to do something, make something of themselves they can. It is absolutely harder for certain individuals to do this because of background, family, etc. That does not mean the...
  8. Raising minimum wage ..RN Salaries increase?

    All of what you said is true. However we do not live in a socialistic society. That is not how our Govt is designed, or wasn't supposed to be at least. Our social programs are out of control and don't make sense anymore. They were never designed to b...
  9. Raising minimum wage ..RN Salaries increase?

    I actually agree that most people who talk about socialism have zero clue what it's policies and structures are. However the ignorance is usually being spewed from those who are in favor of it. The answer to helping close the income gap isn't punishi...
  10. Raising minimum wage ..RN Salaries increase?

    This (applause).
  11. Raising minimum wage ..RN Salaries increase?

    Sounds like you would enjoy living under a socialist regime. Let me know how that works out for you.
  12. Healthcare insurance

    No other country is like the US. We have too many people for universal ish healthcare and too many sick people. Also healthcare providers in other countries don't get paid nearly what they they get paid here and that includes nurses. Why do you thin...
  13. Asked about citizenship during triage

    That's so weird. I can't imagine asking that ever. That's a case management question for emergency medicaid coverage or something.
  14. Well yes, but the people who say this are radicals. I would not engage in conversation with those people and most non mentally ill people don't believe that. Stay strong in your beliefs but stay off Facebook!
  15. Health Care is Not a Right

    I agree whole heartedly that FREE healthcare is not a right. There are a ton of problems with the US healthcare system but there is a reason people head to the US for medical care. I laugh when I hear ignorant individuals say how much better Canadas ...
  16. Honey.. I never post on here because the majority of the responses are so judgmental and rude. It's not you. It's them. I'm so sorry you got stuck. I can imagine how scary that can be. Hopefully the labs come back clean and then you will have a scary...
  17. I was actually going to say a plastic surgery office nurse... who are basically billboards for the doctor and assist in surgery. So I'll second your thought lol
  18. LPN relocating to Florida

    Hello! I live in the Orlando area and a girl in my nursing class works as an LPN part time for a home health agency and makes about 27$ an hour. You could research that. Contrary to what another poster wrote, a few of the private programs here are re...
  19. Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    It's more about all the unnecessary lab tests, hospital admits etc that occurs all across our country because healthcare professionals and hospitals are scared of being sued. It's a constant CYA and most of which doesn't do anything but fill in a box...
  20. Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    I have always said that if the US wants to reform healthcare and decrease costs... we should start with medical tort reform. HUGE problem solved
  21. How much do you make as a tech?

    I am a Nurse tech (just a pct who is in nursing school) and in Orlando and I'm at 13.00 hr plus all the differentials.
  22. Jimmy Kimmel Thanks Nurses Who Saved His Infant Son's Life

    Such a touching story and so sweet how he names so many of the healthcare providers involved. Nurses are truly a blessing to so many people and I feel blessed to soon be a part of that. However, while I am glad that the funding for NIH wasn't reduc...
  23. Can you become an RN at age 19?

    There is a lovely and smart 19 yr old in my ASN program and we graduate in December. She is extremely mature and has excellent balance and study skills, and I think she took classes in high school. So yes it can be done!
  24. I'm not a good person to get advice from because I am passive aggressive and I would give her a full on nursing school lesson on why simply reducing a fever, does not reduce the transmission of any bacterial infection (or viral for that matter) I wou...
  25. Compairing Nashville New Grad Residency Programs

    Just curious... why are you applying for a grad program? Does no one hire recently graduates nurses? I used to live in Nashville but I didn't go to nursing school until after I moved to Florida. It wouldn't surprise me though if none of the hospitals...
