No wonder a degree isn't what it used to be

Quote from mrbill:

Not sure where we are here. PT is maybe a LPN, a great profession. RCG is an RN, also a great profession. There is a distinction between the two titles, education, training, I'm assuming.

Yet, we are seeing fights between the two, and have Luke continue to put down RCG, and yet not PT. Neither should be put down IMO.

Am I close to the proper analysis? Did I miss something?
I know exactly where we stand :
1)I'm not an LPN, nothing wrong with it it's just not my profession.
2)rcg, supposedly as a nurse RN (licensed professional) is unaware LPN's do have a "license" and are considered professionals ,CNA's do not have a license and are not considered professionals although all 3 ARE governed by the the Nursing Board that sets the individual "scope of practice".

Perform something outside your scope of practice and you can be subject to disciplinay charges of "practicing medicine without a license".

3) Luke , rightfully puts down rpg because he's either a fraud or the stupidest fricken nurse I've ever met. take your pick

Honestly you have to have your head up your ass, to even be confused as to the facts.

Thanks for the answer, and I'll ignore the last sentence, since I don't think I'm your enemy, I really don't.

Now that Lucrum wishes I was dead, which is even worse than ignore I guess. It really is too bad that some have to resort to saying such things.

I, on the other hand, stand by what I said when I say thank you for your health care service, and the service of others in your field.
 
Quote from Lucrum:

My ex, an RN, worked third for awhile. Seems like it was in part because of her lack of experience early on and in part due to the fact she didn't get along well with M.D's.

10 - 15% is a lot less than what RCG claimed the premium was. Not that I'm surprised.

It certainly could be higher. Premiums on pay can at first glance be counter intuitive . The lowest pay generally is in the city (unless there is a crime problem). The highest salary is generally found in sparsely populated areas. (supply and demand)
 
Quote from mrbill:

"Back in the late 1920s, as Ayn Rand was working out her philosophy, she became enthralled by a real-life American serial killer, William Edward Hickman, whose gruesome, sadistic dismemberment of 12-year-old girl named Marion Parker in 1927 shocked the nation. Rand filled her early notebooks with worshipful praise of Hickman. According to biographer Jennifer Burns, author of Goddess of the Market, Rand was so smitten with Hickman that she modeled her first literary creation -- Danny Renahan, the protagonist of her unfinished first novel, The Little Street -- on him."

I'm sorry but I'm a bit confused here, the above and your claim below are inconsistent: Why? Are you saying "the little street and "Atlas Shrugged" are the one and the same?

Quote from mrbill:

I can see where that name might be cool to you, and I guess you're aware of who Ayn patterned him after as well. I won't question that.

I simply quoted the reference to Ayn Rand's character choice in Galt. At least how it was interpreted during her time.

"William Edward Hickman (1908 – October 19, 1928) was an American criminal responsible for the kidnapping, murder and dismemberment of Marion Parker, a 12-year-old girl. The Los Angeles Times referred to Hickman's actions as "the most horrible crime of the 1920's".[1]"

and:

"Ayn Rand's The Little Street

In 1928, the writer Ayn Rand began planning a novel called The Little Street, whose hero, Danny Renahan, was to be based on "what Hickman suggested to [her]."

Does that help? She wrote both books.

Well that's where RCG is relegated to third shift. Albeit a rather small city.
 
Quote from mrbill:

Having spent quite some time in hospitals, I think every shift, every health care person, is extremely valuable. I didn't stop to ask if the person helping me was a LPN, and RN, or an MD. I was sincerely grateful for them keeping me alive. FWIW.

They can be but make no mistake about it, if you are not about to die, do not stay in a hospital any longer than required not to do so.


The last time I was a hospital admit, they did back surgery thinking I had cancer. The only thing I remember about recovery was one hell of a hangover and no cancer. I finally made it to my room just before supper. I slept 8-midnight, then I started working out.
By 4am I could walk. Around 7-8am, 2 Doctors came in and packed my wound , I felt like smackin the dude but under the circumstances (since he was behind me, he was kinda out of reach for the moment anyway.)

About that time the DR noticed all my meds from home in my open suitcase which is a no-no. I told him "Doc I ain't wait'in 3 hrs to take something that I know I can. I'll call a nurse tell'em what I took, but I'd rather ask forgiveness than ask for permission. I know all about that waiting for Dr's orders crap."

The staff was amazed(a few hours later) I not only walked out without a wheelchair but I carried my own luggage as well to the car for my DC.
