1. The for profit health care industry has poured billions of our dollars into the pockets of every D.C. politician (all parties) for decades for the sole purpose of protecting it’s interests. Does anyone out there think for one minute that anyone working in the federal government would or could stick it to the rich and help the poor? Why would they?
2. If by some miracle real health care reform, say for instance Medicare for everyone, could be achieved how much good could that do without equally sweeping food industry reform. The U.S. food industry produces food-like substances that are ever higher in fat, sugar, salt, carcinogens, steroids, hormones, manipulated genes and that’s just what we know about. The only things that aren’t in our food anymore are nutrients. How much good would it do for us to fix our health care system if our food industry continues to poison us?
3. Say we wave our magic wand again and provide full access to quality health care and the best, most nutritious food, not only for everyone in the U.S. but everyone in the world. How long will our new paradise last if every individual on the planet continues to think of human reproduction, resource consumption and lifespan as inalienable, individual rights? As long as people continue to live and act as though the Earth’s capacity and resources are infinite, we’re all screwed. What good would it do for us to fix health care and the food industry if it only leads to our entire species choking on it’s own overpopulation?
Aren’t we getting it all backwards?
Shouldn’t we start by breaking it to everyone on the planet that, before we can hope to have a cleaner, happier world, we’ll have to find a way to send the global, human population into a sustained decline?

Figure out what kind of medical equipment you want to repair and then see what manufacturers have that equipment in your area.
If you want to fix anesthesia machines, find out who makes those machines in your area and then contact them – very often you will have to train elsewhere, but they may need someone in the area you choose to live, so you can eventually settle back there.

I’m currently working on my BSN, and I want to know if it’s possible to use that to become a Pediatric Doctor after that? and does anyone know where i could find the requirements for med school that would apply to this idea? Thanks!

I’m starting school in Aug to get a BSN RN degree. I’m wondering what it will be like. I’m very excited and wondering what it will be like:) I’d love to hear some stories! Thanks!

I already have a BS in another field and have been working for over 10 years. I am over 40 and looking to change my career into nursing.

How long did it take? Were you able to take the nursing exam and pass?

I’m trying to get in to a nursing track at a community college somewhere. I’m actually willing to move because all the community colleges around me in PA only let in 50 people each year when like 500 apply because of the lack of teachers. Does anyone know where a good state is to go to for nursing?

I just got a job at a hospital. I did it to get a little closer to my goal of being more than a nurse aid or tech. I am excited about going to nursing school, but I realize it’s very hard. I don’t want to mess this opportunity up.

I want to go to medical school and become a trauma surgeon, obviously after I graduate from high school and college. I’m pretty sure I want to go to nursing school for my undergrad, so I at least have nursing to fall back on if I don’t get into medical school. I have been doing some research and I’ve found that I am particularly interested in University of Maryland, mainly because of their world-renowned R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center. So my question is… Has anyone on Yahoo! Answers been through either school? What did they think of it? Were you exposed, at all, to the Program in Trauma? And last but not least….Do you live in the state of Maryland? I live in Michigan, and I want to know if it is worth moving for. Thank you and God Bless!

I am trying to go back to school for nursing and I have to work full time to pay bills. I am currently a single mom.
