Benefits of being a student

1. You get to read lots of magazines that have absolutely nothing to do with nursing, but are interesting when studying the US healthcare system.

This FastCompany article on Medicare fraud was very enlightening.

2. You get an international perspective from more than just your classmates on privacy issues, whether it's HIPAA or some other national protocol.

Word to staff: Don't try this one, even if she is cute.

3. Another plus: idiots exist wherever you go, just like the MD and her husband in this article.

Thank you Vince Ciotti for posting these links via HIStalk. You make being a student very interesting, indeed. Keep up the good work!

Off I go to work. More later...
