Some of that is because in order to do the job right, you have to be focused, and some of it is because there's such a shortage of nurses that they have to work hard to keep up. Some of it is that nursing is a bit like the military in that anything you do can get someone dead, including doing nothing.
All IMHO, of course.
Great article! I always wondered what Michelle the Hater actually did to deserve that paycheck of hers. She’s a community organizer just like Barry.
>>(There must have been more than one nurse in that crowd shaking her head and thinking, “Great. Another dunce.”)<<
No, I’m sure there wasn’t.
Most every nurse I know was geeked beyond measure and dazzled by 0. Socialized medicine means big bucks and job security for them.
Bookmark for later.
People in any field can be misled by blither. I worked with a health insurance actuary who thought HillaryCare was a great idea! Okay, whatever ...
Great job breaking down the flaws with Obamathink when it come to health care. Where was she during the primaries?
But it did seem like our starry-eyed young, just graduated, nurses were for Obama.
Yes, to save money, at least in our hospital, there are nurses taking care of the most critically ill, having their own patient assignment, just graduated from nursing school and haven't passed their boards yet.
Could be this way in alot of places.

Not my wife. Although, there were several times I had to talk her down. She kept getting influenced by her co-workers.
Obama wasn't dumb enough to ask her a question.
Obama certainly knows who his go to guys are in the media.
Very well written. I knew about Michelle’s big raise, after Obama became senator, but I didn’t realize she had such a very large staff. At that rate, she’ll spend the pork Obams gave the hospital in just a couple of years. I hope they think they got a good deal.
Come to think of it, they only had to pay her for a couple of years, and now she’s leaving for greener pastures. But maybe she’ll continue to draw her salary anyway, who knows?
Thanks for the ping.
First, Walmart could use computers programed using the very best medical diagnosticians in the world. The best urologist would program his questions into the computer - and his follow up questions for each possible problem. Other specialists would do the same. A person going to Walmart would have a medical experience the same as if he had gone to the best medical person at Harvard.
The average person seeing a doctor gets asked three questions before the doctor comes up with his diagnosis - a computer has the time to ask 30 questions - and the right ones. There will be fewer mistakes. Common things might be common but sometimes people have the uncommon. And that's where a computer shines.
After feeding information into the computer the doctor looks over the findings, over recommended tests, and proceeds. Doctors will be able to offer more help, cheaper and better. In short, the Walmart way...
Right on the money.
And let’s not forget Michelles most valuable service to UCM, she helped implement a program which forced other hospitals to take indigent patients so that UCM didn’t have to get them all. This apparently saved UCM over $1M a year and paid for her salary. But this also forced indigent sick people to travel around the city to other hospitals which were not in their neighborhood. Good for UCM but no improvement for ‘the neighborhood or the city’.
And let’s be even more honest - why pay a PR flack $300K???!? You could hire an outside agency for that amount and get an actual team of people who actually know what they are doing.
Just because Michelle worked in the Daley mayoral office and her hubby was a US Senator - oops, let me correct myself. Barry got UCM over $1M in earmarked pork in his first year in the Senate despite the obvious conflict of having his wife working there. Barry has never had to answer any questions about this and neither has Michelle.
How fortunate to be them.
Thanks for the ping!
Like, *PING*, dude.
