Thanks for the support in my nursing decision. Many of my peers in school are majorly concerned about Obamacare because we are unsure of its effects on the nursing profession. But I'm glad to hear that prospects will still be good. That is relieving.

My goal is to become a nurse practitioner and I am concerned for this because I know in some regions, NPs has to collaborate with a physician. To my knowledge, Obamacare will increase the physician shortage.

I don't graduate with my RN until 2016, the end of his term, but Obamacare may (or may not) still be in play at that time.

For those of you who are saying i will fail, can you tell me a little more about that? What would happen if the plan fails?

As I remember there are different level of nurse practitioner.   Most M D physician that I know of collaborate with specialist even in this day and age.

If it fails, you should be able to see a Doctor with in a week.  If not it may take 1 to 2 months to see a Doctor and a specialist even longer.  You can not put that many people on all at once and not have problems.  It will take you until 2016 just to be a RN, how long will it take a Doctor to get out of school.  You can not dump all this on something we don't have, there not a enough to go around even now.

There are different areas of specialty and experience plays a big factor. Nurses and Nurse practitioners have a lot of options and opportunities.

I understand that the bill will increase patient load to an already decreasing healthcare staff. There won't be enough providers for the number of patients. What I'm wondering is what does it mean for the plan to "fail?" Will Obama and Congress still implement the bill if they acknowledge its failure? Or is the bill set in stone for a certain period of time?
Also, once Obama is out of office, will the bill be difficult for the next president to get rid, if he so wishes? Will whatever damage it causes be reversible?

Sorry for the questions. I'm only 19 and I only know so much about politics at my age. haha.

It is a pleasure to meet a 19 year old that does not know everything. 

Only time will tell what and how much damage there will be.   For a person my age the damage has started and I dont see it reversible in my life time.   

I now pay 4.000$ more a year then just two years ago.   I Pay over 50% of my Rx's now.  Four years ago I payed only 10% of my Rx's.  The younger people may know more (40 to 64) years of age, there the people that are not retired.

Thank you!

Wow, that's an insane increase. I don't know how people can think we are better off now than we were 4 years ago. It is just scary.

None of us understand Obamacare. It's not going away. By 2016, it's tentacles will be so entwined in our lives that getting rid of it probably won't be an option.

Don't put too much worry into the politics. You're 19 and making some good choices. Knowledge will always earn you money. Get your RN certificate, and keep on studying if you can. Physical therapy, radiology, elder care.............there are almost an unlimited amount of things you can learn. The more you know, the more valuable you will be. It won't matter who's running healthcare. People like you will be in demand.

Thank you so much. ^ That means a lot that you say that. That concern will always be there, though. But you're right, I need to focus on what's most important. But I do think it is important to be aware of this and the effects it can have. That's why I came here. But you all did a great job at answering my questions. I greatly appreciate it!
