Yes, if the waiting list is so long, then candidates will also pay higher tuition too in order to get into the field - this is immediate and local. Of course! Fuckin brilliant! People must be lined up outside your door seeking solutions to major problems. Oh, and yes, I would like fries with that and Biggie size it while your at it. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

I do have to admit that she is cute. And I like the new haircut. But God....she's driving me nuts! I mean...cooking without turning the stove on? Or the delivery she completely screwed up? Did you see those fish skeletons??? Come on..... Silly me. Thinking that a show with "kitchen" in the title was about food. Bonnie is annoying. To her credit, however, she was the only one trying to get some sort of communication going. Julia is a trooper and I think she would be great running the kitchen at, say an Appleby's but an upscale eatery ...I don't think so. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

Would seeing a NP satisfy EMTALA requirements requiring a medical screening? ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

Yeah...makes you wonder what other secrets she has up her sleeves. I missed that part of last week's episode. What's her history????? She presented her history as several years as a pastry chef, then let it out that she had significant experience as a sous chef and executive chef. Last night she presented herself as a self-serving bitch ... as did Roc. High drama on the airwaves ...I love it! ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

Damn, I'm sorry for your pain. I don't know what to say. Experience and competence in hospitals is the pitts ...and getting worse. My undergrad major was pre-med, buy after watching the 'care' given in the ER where I worked, I decided I didn't want any part of it. I sincerely hope the person you refer to was able to get competent care. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

I'm pretty sure there's been a nationwide shortage for at least 20 years. Absolutely! ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

Ahh someone does understand 12 years to set up a school? Nonsense The lag is the time to train and certify nurses, that take so much time unless one reduces the qualification requirements so they can graduate in less time...... So what was tying up the natural economic market up to get us to this point? That's the real lesson to learn here. And the lesson learned needs to be applied in other areas so the gov doesn't HAVE to step in later - no matter how much some people love that. Stuff your ideology of what was, what should of, what lessoned learned ...the nation needs nurses! You both are off the mark. The existing schools have long waiting lists for lack of funding for more facutly primarily. Relatively cheap grants would allow these schools to greatly increase their enrollments and graduates. Personally, I would spend the money at the community college level. Forget BSN's. Turn out nurses now in two year (18 months, if you push) ADN's. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

Yes, sometimes size does matter ...it matters very, very, very much! ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

then that would drive up the salaries, which would increase the demand for nursing schools, which would open up a ready market for opening new schools. strangely enough, higher salaries would also encourage the immigration of qualified nurses as well wouldn't it? Or, we could "raid every 3rd and 4th world" country and import a ton of "nurses" and artificially keep the salaries down as a result. your choice The government can "promote" all they want. I just don't see them funding the effort in order to stifle nursing becoming a profession of choice for those that want to be able to make a living at it. I wonder if excessive litigation has any impact on the unwillingness of people to enter the medical professions? Nah. It couldn't be. But if it did, maybe the 'government' could 'promote' medical professionals by giving them some protection in that area. If it was really needed. Hypothetically speaking. Nurses very seldom get sued, BTW. I just got off the phone with my mom. Thirty years as a nurse ...never sued. I asked her if she knew of a nurse who had been sued. Her reply, "I guess I must of heard of a few over the years, but don't know of any". As usual, your ideology leads you to believe you actually know something about the situation. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

I consider it "tough love". It would work out better in the long run for almost everybody. The Congresscritters would just have to show up, do their job of legislating, not waste their time and our money getting stroked by lobbyists, and go home. The lobbyists would probably get pissed off because they'd have a lot more trouble buying legislation, so hopefully they'd quit. Then, as a bonus, everything would get cheaper for the consumer because the large corporations wouldn't have to spend billions of dollars per year on bribes, I mean lobbying. What's not to love? I'd start with all lawyers and work up from there. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

Why is this a government role? Why can't private colleges meet the perceived demand? We should ask the government to answer this question. They should fix everything. If you were seriously sick/injured, would you be at all concerned that there were sufficient numbers of experienced nurses taking care of you? There is a SEVERE nursing shortage nationwide. Health care corp. have raided every third and forth world country and brought "nurses" over hear by the super tanker load. Marginal in English and even more marginal in technical skills (a nurse in those countries, makes bandages and fetches things for the doctor), they provide a huge part of the nursing care here in South Florida. You think the govt should not promote more nursing programs? ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

While in school, I worked the graveyard shift as an EMT for 4 years at Miami's Jackson Memorial's ER ... best show in town!! First, they can insist on all the payment they want. Tell them to shove it. It won't affect your admission. Second. Large, out of control, restrained Baker Acts get treated and streeted rapidly as no one wants to put up with their shit and you have several people (cops, and other staff) pulled off other duties till he is dispoed. It's usually a fairly quick matter of medical clearance then off to jail, psych unit. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

Colleges meet demand. Are there thousands of would be nurses unable to find a school? And what is the prestige level of the 3 schools you listed. Does it come close to the UC ones you list - at least the 2 Cal and one UCLA one? If UCLA is the only UC law school in the region that has over 20M people, it seems like we could stand for another. Are there too many law schools and lawyers. Sure. Right now it is booming. But when they can't get work, they're go elsewhere. I got the sense that the professional schools in the UC system don't subsidize their tuition. They're as expensive as the rest. I don't know about calif specifically, but nationwide there are typically long waiting lists for people wanting to enter Nursing School. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

Not sure; we're watching DVR'd episodes so I can't tell if they are old or new really. I guess it depends on the cable service. On Comcast, the current ones would be listed "New, (2007)" ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

Riiiiight. And you never beat off either, do you? Just because you like to go home with scanks/heffers/homelies (and aren't ashamed enough to forego blabbing about it) that doesn't mean every guy has equally low standards. I was raped, dickhead. Dickhead? Nice PA. Are you really offended by the term ...or are you just crying 'mommy mommy' for the moderators? ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

Does it upset you that people can't take their kids to bars or porno shops? Dropzones are an *adult* playground and at many dropzones there are *adult* activities that take place--particularly after sunset. It's about *age*, not skin color or religion or anything else. Also, if a jumper brings their kid(s) to the dropzone, leaving the kid(s) on the ground while they jump, who is supervising them? Jumpers have thousands of dollars with of lifesaving equipment laying around and don't want anyone tampering with it. Walt I don't mind skydivers bringing their kids (well supervised) to the DZ. It's when they insist we conform to their 'family atmosphere' that I draw the line. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

Thing about those 'supportive' people that are by your side when you are down and vulnerable, it takes a discerning eye to determine who is supportive and who is just looking for a vulernable mark. I've noticed one guy on here, in particular, is invariably coming to the 'rescue' when women post about hard or sad times. Does he have the recessive supportive gene ...or just exploiting vulnerability? ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
