let me guess. you have no children. you don't run your own business. you have too many complacent friends, and you like to talk about trees during your off time. (which is all the time)
Probably going to change the title to "What corporate America is doing to the middle class" I've been married probably longer then you've been alive and I've procreated more then once,,,,what else do you think you know about me?
i see you post here all the time. maybe you should go do something productive with your life, like not post hideous porn and go spend time with your "children" if they do exist. God knows... oh that's right only Obama knows.
Maybe you should fuck off,,,you my fucking nanny hmmm? Going to tell us when and where we can be what you like? People like you say you want the government out of your lives but what you really mean is that you want it out out your business,,,your more then happy to have it legislate people's morality aren't you?
I'm not legislating anything, the more you post here the more people will realize you are a scum bag.
you did it to yourself.
i suggest (see if you can fit that word in your dictionary) that you tell bobby (if he does exist) that his dad can't play now because he gets a kick out of watching necro porn; and he hopes that someday that he won't turn out as fuct up as he is - where he goes telling people who they should vote for or whatever.
Wow,,,you really are pretty fucking clueless,,,you really surf spaceghetto and are ready to make moral pronouncements about the content? I'd bet money you've never shown this site to your S.O.,,,I'll go further and bet some more that you've actually paid for porn:)

Bottom line to all this is GOP is a group of OLD ass money, and it wants to keep it that way, rich get richer, and the poor get fucked, like the girl above. this is not JUST GOP mind you, out entire political system is totally off balance. What ever happened to BY the PEOPLE for the PEOPLE? it went trickle down in the 80's that's where. Current government is corrupt and more worried about a paycheck than what happens to this great nation. Now i "support" President Obama, but with all other presidents before him i do not always agree with him. he has had several WTF ideas of late, then again what president has not? My difference is I don't say it if it is not true and I am not blinded by party preference. If it is stupid shit, it is stupid shit....Period. I will say, GOP has been responsible for a great number of said "Stupid shit" over the years, so by that reason alone I stand by the OP. You can not HONESTLY think that Mitt Romey is a good choice for this country. He is the poster boy for EVERYTHING that is wrong in government. It would be like adding gasoline to an already burning fire.....Obama is flawed, what president isn't? but I honestly see the man doing what he thinks is right, FOR THE PEOPLE, not for him.( giant mistakes aside, Catholic church etc) and i see the GOP kick him in the balls for doing it. I can't see Romney even coming close..........you can't spell ROMNEY, without R Money

i find it absolutely comical you say you work in the medical field, yet you get down on liberals and socialism. as a healthcare worker, you should so unfortunately see, hear, and smell the kind of sickening politics getting shoved up your patients' asses, mouths, ears, eyes, and noses every fucking day. you should know that it's not about them or you, it's about the almighty dollar and how they can further screw you and screw the whole reason you should have gotten into the medical field in the first place- the patient. if you don't see that, then you need to get the fuck out of healthcare, STAT.
you should also know there's no fucking retiring at the age of 40! oh, and when you do retire, 20+ years after that, YOU DON'T HAVE SHIT FOR A PENSION. doctors don't even retire when they're 40! with that being said, i know plenty of doctors who are liberal and who openly denounce america's current healthcare system. if you don't, in my opinion, you clearly haven't worked under a doctor, directly with a doctor, or been to any kind of class taught by a doctor and therefore are lying.

Submitted by chronitron on Thu, 07/05/2012 - 14:07.
PATIENT CARE TECHNICIANS (aka techs), PATIENT CARE ASSOCIATES, PATIENT CARE GIVERS, ETC, ARE ALL TITLES WHICH REQUIRE A CERTIFICATION IN NURSE ASSISTANCE, YOU DUMB SHIT. all facilities call their CNA's something different. i fucking refuse to believe you are this dense. CNA is just that- a person who is certified to assist a nurse and you can receive this training at any state approved training facility. you can, from there, be licensed by the state, which is required by every single nursing home, in every single city, county, and state in the US. all the hospitals i worked at, in and around detroit, a tech was, typically, licensed by the state because that is considered to be better and more marketable than just plain old "i passed the 90-hour training program at american red cross".
you must deliver the patients' food or clean their rooms or else you'd know all of this. please, don't get me wrong, these legitimate and necessary positions. although... during my time as a licensed CNA, i would clean most of the room before the glacially-paced housekeeper even got there, as to shorten the time between discharging and admitting a patient. admittedly, my skills and experience could have been utilized in a better way, this was to cut down on the chaos that comes from having to split 30-40 patients between two techs and four nurses.
WHICH BRINGS ME TO THIS: "or else there would be chaos in having to provide healthcare?" you MUST be joking. hospitals, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes are naturally chaotic. so, if you are a nurse, and while you are in the patient's room and said patient is soiled, you'd leave them there and delegate the task to your CNA because your skills as a nurse, lpn, pt, ot or whatever, put you above having to do that?
WE DO NOT CALL THEM TECHS OR ELSE EVERYBODY WOULD BE A TECH.
A Cna is a nursing assistant. A tech is really something else... (laziness term)
I'm an RN. I sometimes delegate responsibilities to them. I DO NOT CALL THEM A TECH. Although I can but it doesn't mean anything... And this is why IT'S INCORRECT
--------
The term hospital technician is an umbrella term for several
different and specific jobs within the healthcare setting. Generalized
hospital technicians probably did exist years ago before so much
technology was involved in healthcare. However, now technicians require
special training to perform their jobs. The jobs are not
interchangeable. In other words you can’t expect a laboratory technician
to be able to do the job of a pharmacy technician if someone calls in
sick one day. Technically, there are various healthcare careers that are
considered to be within the range of a hospital technician, the most
common dealing with pharmacy, laboratory, central services and
information technology.
To give you more information, below is the breakdown of some of the
career choices within the spectrum of hospital technician. You have
several great educational options—for example, you can now enroll in an
accredited online school and get all of the training you need to work as
a hospital technician. You may also opt to go to a community college or
university to receive your training.
Laboratory Technician. The laboratory technician
works under the supervision of a laboratory technologist. The technician
does less complex testing than the technologist does. The laboratory
technician usually operates automated equipment, prepares specimens, and
enters data. If they are working in a large laboratory they may
specialize in one area such as microbiology, or chemistry.
The typical entry level for this position is an associate’s degree in
medical technology or any other related program. The program you take
must be accredited and recognized by the National Accrediting Agency of
Clinical Laboratory Sciences. In addition, upon completion of the
program, you can also get professional certification from the American
Society for Clinical Pathology or other apt governing body. This can
improve your credentials significantly but is not really a necessity to
land a medical job in healthcare. The salary range for a laboratory
technician is $23,000 to $53,000. The job outlook is good with a growth
rate predicted at 15% in the next ten years.
Health Information Technician. This career is
unlike the previous one mentioned since it will deal with a lot more
medical training in technology. Normally, a health information
technician monitors, tracks and manages all the records of the hospital
from patient care and prescriptions to billing. This will involve
handling computers and managing databases and software. This being said,
the career is highly technical and will require a good grasp of
information technology.
An associate’s degree is the most common education for an entry level
health information technician (HIT). The program must be accredited by
the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA). Since
this career will be dealing with confidential information, critical
software and servers, most hospitals will only hire a health information
technician that is credentialed by AHIMA. The certification can only be
obtained by way of passing an exam. Registered health information
technician (RHIT) is then conferred. The salary for a health information
technician ranges from $21,000 to $51,000. This job is expected to
increase by 15% in the next ten years.
Pharmacy Technician. The main responsibility is to
assist the pharmacist in a variety of ways such as receiving written
prescriptions from patients, electronic prescriptions from physicians’
offices, filling medication bottles to be checked by the pharmacist,
monitoring inventory and labeling prescriptions. In smaller pharmacies
they may also run the cash register and answer phones. Educational
requirements include completing a pharmacy tech program accredited by
the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists. These programs are
short ranging from 6 to 24 months depending on the school. Most states
require registration. Certification is not mandatory but is available
and does improve marketability. This job is expected to grow by around
20% in the next ten years. The average salary is $27,000 to $40,000.
Central Services Technician. Decontaminating and
sterilizing hospital equipment, packing trays with special equipment
needed for procedures, cleaning and storing hospital equipment, and
ordering supplies are just a few jobs that the central services
technician completes. The annual salary range is $20,000 to $29,000.
Licensure is not necessary. Certification is available. Job growth is
predicted to be around 12% in the next ten years.
These are only four of the hospital technician jobs available in
healthcare. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, these careers
are projected to grow anywhere from 15 to 30 percent within the next
seven to eight years. All of these hospital technician jobs have the
potential for advancement, especially if you are willing to receive more
education. There is something for everyone in the hospital technician
field.
------
THIS IS WHY YOU'RE NOT REALLY SUPPOSE TO CALL THEM TECHS.
And again, we do not share others responsibilities the majority of the time because WE ARE TOO BUSY WITH OUR OWN WORK.
Submitted by chronitron on Fri, 07/06/2012 - 02:19.
thanks for copying and pasting from your google search and repeating things i already said. you really didn't explain anything i didn't know. all of the jobs you listed have nothing to do with direct patient care, as they do not deal directly with patients... at all, lol. AS I SAID BEFORE, all facilities title some, or all of these positions differently.
speaking from genuine experience and not "lazy" internet research, all st.john hospitals and all related facilities, you are called a patient care technician (often called a PCT or a tech on the floor, and various areas of the hospital where specialty RN's require techs) and you have CNA training, as well as a license to practice your training in the state.
but, you've basically just admitted to me that as an RN, you could be in a patients room, performing your more important "responsibilities" and your patient could shit and piss all over him or herself, his or her bed, his or her bed sores, or his or her surgical wounds and you would just fucking leave your patient sitting in his or her own excrement because you're above that. so, really... anything you say to me from here on out is completely invalid because you're a shitty nurse and clearly have not upheld your oath.
If someone is looking for lab results or a lab-tech if they're in the facility they would most likely use the term "TECH". Now PCT is a more valid name, but you didn't say PCT you said TECH... no one uses the word TECH in a hospital IF THEY'RE REFERRING TO THEIR CNA.
Again I'M an RN. RN's DO NOT WIPE BUTTS - I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS IS SUCH A DIFFICULT CONCEPT.
I STUDIED 4 YEARS OF PHARMACOLOGY - NOT TO CHANGE SOMEONES DIAPER. I WRITE NOTES. NOTES TAKE TIME. AND CNAS CANNOT WRITE NOTES
AND YOU WOULDN'T KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT BEING A GOOD NURSE BECAUSE..... well you are not one ^_^
Submitted by chronitron on Fri, 07/06/2012 - 23:06.
you're fucking retarded. i said this "PATIENTCARETECHNICIANS (aka techs), PATIENT CARE ASSOCIATES, PATIENT CARE GIVERS, ETC, ARE ALL TITLES WHICH REQUIRE A CERTIFICATION IN NURSE ASSISTANCE, YOU DUMB SHIT." and they often get called techs in all the hospitals/facilities i worked at. you aren't even speaking from personal experience, you're just saying "no one says this anywhere ever in the world" lol. how the fuck do you know? at least i said where i have worked, they do get called techs, so you're wrong.
also, you're either lying about your profession or you really are a shitty nurse if you think responsibilities are not shared in a hospital. by your logic, if a patient were to soil him or herself and the RN were present, the RN wouldn't bother with it because they have more important things to worry about than the comfort and dignity of their patient. and if a patient were to soil themselves in CT, X-ray, MRI, etc etc they wouldn't take care of it either because they also have more important things to do? haha, yeah... you're good at your job. i hope to the stars in the sky i or any of my loved ones never end up at the fucking hospital you worked at or trained at. i don't believe you anyways because no nurse in his or her right mind would even admit that charting (notes? wtf?) takes up so much time they can't tend to their patients. AND nurses wipe ass all the time- endo, PACU, OR, cath lab... need i go on?
i hear good, seasoned RN's bitching about the kind of lazy, incompetent, poorly trained, nurse who lacks compassion, empathy, and respect you've just described to me. ALL. THE. TIME.
how do you know i'm not a nurse? lol. i haven't told you my profession at all.
1 more thing before I forget to mention, next time you go to a nurses station ask them you are looking for "a tech". let me know what they tell you, most likely they'll need you to clarify exactly who you are looking for (points faintly below)
CNA Responsibilities
• CNAs answer patients' call signals and respond to basic patient needs. They measure and record food and liquid intake, as well as feed patients who are unable to feed themselves. CNAs will help patients in walking, exercising and moving or turning in bed. In most cases, they clean patient rooms and change linens.
Patient Care Technician Responsibilities
• Patient care technician responsibilities can involve some medical care including phlebotomy (drawing blood from patients), taking vital signs, and basic laboratory work. They assist with medical exams, record patients conditions and treatments by working with medical staff during patient visits and monitor patients as requested by medical staff. They may perform dry sterile dressing changes, including inserting and irrigating catheters and feeding tubes.
The Difference Between Both Roles
• CNAs are responsible for basic patient care and patient care technicians are authorized to administer basic medical care to patients.
Submitted by chronitron on Sat, 07/07/2012 - 14:21.
as i said before, a PCT (or tech, doesn't matter at st.john if you're on the floor) is a CNA at the st.john hospital i worked at, as you at least need to pass a state accredited CNA training program (where you are not trained in phlebotomy) to get this job and having the state license is even better. in order to do lots of the stuff you've described, that training is given after you get the job, such as wound care and inserting a catheter because these things are NOT taught in a CNA training program. also, at a different hospital i worked at, they were called patient care aides, or sometimes "aide" or just "PCA" and had all the same responsibilities.
you obviously don't know shit about the hospitals i've worked at or been to. stop copying and pasting shit. you're an idiot and a liar. gtfo.
Ok so wait a second, you just admit PCT's have additional job and duties. Therefore a level entry CNA cannot do a PCT's job. So regardless what they call them, just to clarify (since you like bouncing back and forth between both job titles as if they're synonymous)
again from the lions mouth:
A PCT and a CNA are almost the same thing, except a PCT works in a
hospital and has additional training and job duties. When a hospital
advertises for PCT's they are usually looking for CNA's with experience.
In my experience a hospital in Florida will tell you what they want in
their job posting. If they want someone with EKG and Phleb
certification, they'll state it. If they want specifically candidates
who have been through a PCT program, they will say that too although I
don't know if that happens in Florida the way it does in New York. But
the basic requirements to become a PCT in a hospital in Florida, as per
the placement ads, is about a years experience as a CNA. In my opinion
it can't hurt to get PCT, EKG, or Phleb training on your own if only to
make yourself more competitive.
---------------
I'm not arguing what they call you, you could very well be a PCT, but in my nursing home we only have CNAs, because they only feed and change our patients... so take a chill pill buddy
I'm just making clear we don't call them techs, because that is a dumb word. If I told anyone where I work that I'm looking for a tech they'd ask me for what exactly because it could mean a billion different things...
Submitted by chronitron on Sun, 07/08/2012 - 18:19.
you have to have a nurse assistant certification to even get the job as a PCT where i've worked. we DO call them techs, because on hospital floors, there are no lab techs, pharm techs, etc etc. so the confusion you expect just isn't there. and you said no one calls them techs, which isn't true. thanks for your time.
and to say there are no techs in a hospital is down right laughable. i work in a rehabilitation facility which is even a much smaller facility than your normal hospital, and we do get lab techs and iv techs, and info techs... so there goes that insanity
If you read somewhere above (I believe) I ridiculed everyone including myself in another post... not that i care what you think you lousy POS, but I figured I'd at least make that clear. I . DON'T. CARE.... i mean i do care what am i saying
Why in fuck would you think that anyone here owes you a goddamn answer for anygoddman thing??? What do YOU do, what's the name of YOUR business, show us your P&L's from last quarter you sanctimonious faggot,,,,

you must deliver the patients' food or clean their rooms or else you'd know all of this. please, don't get me wrong, these legitimate and necessary positions. although... during my time as a licensed CNA, i would clean most of the room before the glacially-paced housekeeper even got there, as to shorten the time between discharging and admitting a patient. admittedly, my skills and experience could have been utilized in a better way, this was to cut down on the chaos that comes from having to split 30-40 patients between two techs and four nurses.
WHICH BRINGS ME TO THIS: "or else there would be chaos in having to provide healthcare?" you MUST be joking. hospitals, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes are naturally chaotic. so, if you are a nurse, and while you are in the patient's room and said patient is soiled, you'd leave them there and delegate the task to your CNA because your skills as a nurse, lpn, pt, ot or whatever, put you above having to do that?
A Cna is a nursing assistant. A tech is really something else... (laziness term)
I'm an RN. I sometimes delegate responsibilities to them. I DO NOT CALL THEM A TECH. Although I can but it doesn't mean anything... And this is why IT'S INCORRECT

The term hospital technician is an umbrella term for several different and specific jobs within the healthcare setting. Generalized hospital technicians probably did exist years ago before so much technology was involved in healthcare. However, now technicians require special training to perform their jobs. The jobs are not interchangeable. In other words you can’t expect a laboratory technician to be able to do the job of a pharmacy technician if someone calls in sick one day. Technically, there are various healthcare careers that are considered to be within the range of a hospital technician, the most common dealing with pharmacy, laboratory, central services and information technology.
To give you more information, below is the breakdown of some of the career choices within the spectrum of hospital technician. You have several great educational options—for example, you can now enroll in an accredited online school and get all of the training you need to work as a hospital technician. You may also opt to go to a community college or university to receive your training.
The typical entry level for this position is an associate’s degree in medical technology or any other related program. The program you take must be accredited and recognized by the National Accrediting Agency of Clinical Laboratory Sciences. In addition, upon completion of the program, you can also get professional certification from the American Society for Clinical Pathology or other apt governing body. This can improve your credentials significantly but is not really a necessity to land a medical job in healthcare. The salary range for a laboratory technician is $23,000 to $53,000. The job outlook is good with a growth rate predicted at 15% in the next ten years.
An associate’s degree is the most common education for an entry level health information technician (HIT). The program must be accredited by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA). Since this career will be dealing with confidential information, critical software and servers, most hospitals will only hire a health information technician that is credentialed by AHIMA. The certification can only be obtained by way of passing an exam. Registered health information technician (RHIT) is then conferred. The salary for a health information technician ranges from $21,000 to $51,000. This job is expected to increase by 15% in the next ten years.
These are only four of the hospital technician jobs available in healthcare. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, these careers are projected to grow anywhere from 15 to 30 percent within the next seven to eight years. All of these hospital technician jobs have the potential for advancement, especially if you are willing to receive more education. There is something for everyone in the hospital technician field.

THIS IS WHY YOU'RE NOT REALLY SUPPOSE TO CALL THEM TECHS.
And again, we do not share others responsibilities the majority of the time because WE ARE TOO BUSY WITH OUR OWN WORK.
thanks for playin' k
speaking from genuine experience and not "lazy" internet research, all st.john hospitals and all related facilities, you are called a patient care technician (often called a PCT or a tech on the floor, and various areas of the hospital where specialty RN's require techs) and you have CNA training, as well as a license to practice your training in the state.
but, you've basically just admitted to me that as an RN, you could be in a patients room, performing your more important "responsibilities" and your patient could shit and piss all over him or herself, his or her bed, his or her bed sores, or his or her surgical wounds and you would just fucking leave your patient sitting in his or her own excrement because you're above that. so, really... anything you say to me from here on out is completely invalid because you're a shitty nurse and clearly have not upheld your oath.
Again I'M an RN. RN's DO NOT WIPE BUTTS - I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS IS SUCH A DIFFICULT CONCEPT.
I STUDIED 4 YEARS OF PHARMACOLOGY - NOT TO CHANGE SOMEONES DIAPER. I WRITE NOTES. NOTES TAKE TIME. AND CNAS CANNOT WRITE NOTES
AND YOU WOULDN'T KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT BEING A GOOD NURSE BECAUSE..... well you are not one ^_^
also, you're either lying about your profession or you really are a shitty nurse if you think responsibilities are not shared in a hospital. by your logic, if a patient were to soil him or herself and the RN were present, the RN wouldn't bother with it because they have more important things to worry about than the comfort and dignity of their patient. and if a patient were to soil themselves in CT, X-ray, MRI, etc etc they wouldn't take care of it either because they also have more important things to do? haha, yeah... you're good at your job.
i hope to the stars in the sky i or any of my loved ones never end up at the fucking hospital you worked at or trained at. i don't believe you anyways because no nurse in his or her right mind would even admit that charting (notes? wtf?) takes up so much time they can't tend to their patients. AND nurses wipe ass all the time- endo, PACU, OR, cath lab... need i go on?
i hear good, seasoned RN's bitching about the kind of lazy, incompetent, poorly trained, nurse who lacks compassion, empathy, and respect you've just described to me. ALL. THE. TIME.
how do you know i'm not a nurse? lol. i haven't told you my profession at all.
grey goo is that type of nurse who sends the techs into the patient's room to do everything
that was your first mention of a CNA in your entire rambling..... again we do not refer to them as simply "techs"
and i'm done with this convo. bye.
CNA Responsibilities
• CNAs answer patients' call signals and respond to basic patient needs. They measure and record food and liquid intake, as well as feed patients who are unable to feed themselves. CNAs will help patients in walking, exercising and moving or turning in bed. In most cases, they clean patient rooms and change linens.
Patient Care Technician Responsibilities
• Patient care technician responsibilities can involve some medical care including phlebotomy (drawing blood from patients), taking vital signs, and basic laboratory work. They assist with medical exams, record patients conditions and treatments by working with medical staff during patient visits and monitor patients as requested by medical staff. They may perform dry sterile dressing changes, including inserting and irrigating catheters and feeding tubes.
The Difference Between Both Roles
• CNAs are responsible for basic patient care and patient care technicians are authorized to administer basic medical care to patients.
you obviously don't know shit about the hospitals i've worked at or been to. stop copying and pasting shit. you're an idiot and a liar. gtfo.
again from the lions mouth:
A PCT and a CNA are almost the same thing, except a PCT works in a hospital and has additional training and job duties. When a hospital advertises for PCT's they are usually looking for CNA's with experience. In my experience a hospital in Florida will tell you what they want in their job posting. If they want someone with EKG and Phleb certification, they'll state it. If they want specifically candidates who have been through a PCT program, they will say that too although I don't know if that happens in Florida the way it does in New York. But the basic requirements to become a PCT in a hospital in Florida, as per the placement ads, is about a years experience as a CNA. In my opinion it can't hurt to get PCT, EKG, or Phleb training on your own if only to make yourself more competitive.
---------------
I'm not arguing what they call you, you could very well be a PCT, but in my nursing home we only have CNAs, because they only feed and change our patients... so take a chill pill buddy
I'm just making clear we don't call them techs, because that is a dumb word. If I told anyone where I work that I'm looking for a tech they'd ask me for what exactly because it could mean a billion different things...
and to say there are no techs in a hospital is down right laughable. i work in a rehabilitation facility which is even a much smaller facility than your normal hospital, and we do get lab techs and iv techs, and info techs... so there goes that insanity
and again they're not CNAs and get over yourself.
also, hawaii and alaska aren't...oh, fuck it
dw doesn't work. His wife does. She controls the money in the house. She likely works for a college. dw gets his ideas from the people she works with. He's not real sure what all of it means but it makes him popular which for a guy that doesn't contribute in any other way is important.
That should be pretty close.
it's more work for your mouth to do it wrong
in fact you are assuming I'M LYING, but i don't expect a man with a walking duck gif to make that leap in connecting such simple - basic - ideas.
let me guess. you also have "a real job" (o'er kill)
don't answer that, it hurts peoples feelings to touch such sensitive points in their lives... blee blee boo boo *stares at his Obama poster with sad clown face*
I don't know if you're limited or just trolling grey goo
or perhaps you're 15 years old
or else the spambots selling chinese knockoff rolexes have gained limited sentience
either one really
I await your command, my queen.
The GOP is raping middle class Americans? But you can't seem to elect a President who can stop it? Can't elect one effective enough, experienced enough, strong enough, smart enough? Bush did pretty much as he pleased from day one, but Obama is having a terrible time of it. Hmmm..... Looks to me like you're just making poor choices. But please... by all means... continue. It gives me something to do.
And of course by "something to do", I mean laugh at you and ridicule you.
