  1. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    Jerico replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What I am suggesting that those people between 18 and 62 can AFFORD to go get their OWN - self paid insurance at a alow cost for emergency and acute care. Why do able bodied people between 18 and 62...

  2. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    Jerico replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Jerico here: Anyone who thinks government CONTROLLED healthcare (aka universal healthcare for all) is going to be BETTER had better think twice! It won't be the insurance denying patients/taxpayers...

  3. Getting sick when your a NICU nurse?

    Jerico replied to cherokeesummer's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    If I've got sneezes, sniffles, sore throat and I don't feel like "hell" I go and just wear a mask. If I'm dragging I call in. If I'm not feeling at least 98% I may make mistakes, and I can't do...

  4. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    Jerico replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Another thing, Aussie RN: Americans also subsidize illegal aliens' healthcare at ANY public healthclinic and at many private hospitals. An illegal Mexican woman crosses the border pregnant. She has...

  5. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    Jerico replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Am sorry but I do not agree with the post to the Aussie RN! MM is a sensationalist who shows the WORST of everything and none of the good in order to get everyone worked up - - - but where are his...

  7. BSN's vs. Community college

    Jerico replied to cottoncandyclouds's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    If it takes working one's butt off to just get a C then perhaps she SHOULD go to an ADN program because she probably isn't going to get into a BSN nursing

  8. AS vs BS

    Jerico replied to Boilermom's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Just being hired last week the difference between a two year RN and a four year/BSN/RN was literally $6,400. a year. IF I had NOT had the BSN I'd have the position but not the increased pay scale. It...

  9. Concerns and fears

    Jerico replied to misslo's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    If your goal is NICU, I'd find a good NICU internship. These days a few NICUs are offering 3-5 month internships which ONLY GNs can get. You are paid RN I / GN pay (usually $20/hr); you MAY incur...

    ORIGINALLY posted by WhimsieRN 03/26/2006 0428pm: (18 MONTHS ago) (He/She is referring to the ADN vs BSN predicament the profession of nursing finds itself in...) "I'm still looking at other older...

    Jerico replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The bad apples are idiots. Keep up your standards and dot your own i and t s. Never let your quality slip, alwys try to work above reproach. Do not feed into their negativity, listen more than you...

  16. New grad in ED

    Jerico replied to alison99's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'd had a GREAT preceptor in my ED last semester clinical experience for six weeks. She taught me so much, was patient, and gave me super written referrals. I started as an ED nurse out of nursing...

  17. Self sufficient???? When????

    Jerico replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Agree with others. Keep chin up, you will be very surprised that one day very soon you will have some very unsure "nurseling" come to you and ask YOU questions and you'll rattle it all off as if you...

  18. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    Jerico replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yes, agree. Poor organizational skills. What sort of organizational skills does any YOUNG and inexperienced nurse have when she is being precepted? Most BSNs are younger than ADNs. Average age of...

  19. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    Jerico replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Am sorry you feel that way about magnet status. I think it is great for nurses. Have studied it, been in facilities with it and it appears to me most nurses LIKE it. From what I've observed magnet...

  20. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Jerico replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well, yes. Since most people that DO the hiring are likely BSNs these days and "prefer" BSNs then I'd have to advise you to GET a BSN. It's only one more year and only harder to get into...but worth...

  21. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    Jerico replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I truly apologize to any here IF I appeared to be doing so as am not in the business of being hurtful to others:o. I have not told ANYONE on the board their degree is not worth LESS. Rather what I...

  23. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    Jerico replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yes, people all have personal reasons - practical or otherwise why they prefer OR needed the shorter route to an RN. Money, family, incentive....fate. ABSOLUTELY! Rarely is the best way the quickest...

  24. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    Jerico replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    (This is only from IL, but further review of the lit would likely find somewhat same findings...) "The National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses, 20047 findings included the following: RNs initial...

  25. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    Jerico replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The contention among nurses is a double sword: BSNs want the respect and pay they have gone through the effort, time and money to earn through higher education. ADNs want the respect and pay even...
