Unethical Practices?

Nurses General Nursing

Published

you guys really need to chill out and not take things so seriously really. anywho. this was an experiment for my thesis on Nursing unions and strength in numbers. my theory is based in two parts rounded up by the theory that US Nurses are a stronger group hence why they are paid more, more respected etc and UK Nurses are weak etc thats why they get paid less.

Thanks anyway. i appear to have gotten a first (an A) for a well written and insightful if not unusual study, which will go towards what is my second PhD.

Is it just me, or is anyone else a bit hopeful that someone from Allnurses.com made it perfectly clear that they will not be the platform for unethical "studies?" Clearly here, informed consent did not take place, as well as a whole other slew of violations of the Belmont Report, the Nuremburg Code, etc as outlined for ethical research.

Although I'm confused why a doctoral candidate would be working on a thesis rather than a dissertation, but anyway.

I would HOPE that rather than pointing the finger at bonafide Allnurses members for biting back at what turned out to obviously be a thread meant to provoke, that they would take a hard look at the post above and make sure this doesn't happen again.

If this very serious issue has already been addressed, I think we'd like to be reassured that we are in fact, safe here, and that this type of unethical practice has been deterred.

Thank you.

The word 'mean' can be interpreted in many different ways.

I think we're expressing ourselves and our opinions. That's healthy from a psychological standpoint, don't you think?

If this is in fact going to be in a professional presentation, then you need to behave as such and inform your study participants of your intentions/actions beforehand.

For your information, the internet is not a VALID source of most information.....but you probly already knew that, right? Don't you have to cite your sources.....VALID sources... in any kind of study? Especially a scientific study?

Otherwise, it's just another opinion in a vast ocean of opinions.....and it doesn't matter.

Oh don't sweat it Anne. There ain't no study going on. And if it was, it's completely flawed. And Jay Bird knows this.

MY only concern is that the AllNurses community addresses this - pronto - and revokes the posting privledges of this individual. This "study" violates alot of federal and international codes of conduct for research.

nah...they're more concerned right now with equine well-being...

Let it go suzy- there's nothing said by this individual based in reality

I hear ya! There a little thing called the first amendment: Amendment I

How is calling out unethical research a grounds for being banned? I think a member who performs such research should be banned.

ok,time for my 2 pennies.....

Jay,I have been having a look through your past posts and I'm interested in how you've got time to be doing your *second* phd.That sure must be a lot of work...

...you've got your normal nursing training,a 40 hour week? All the "research" you've been doing here,and I dare say all over the internet.Normal day to day living and I imagine an exhausting full-on social life.

What really interests me though is how you find time to set up a brand new Medical High Dependancy Unit.What a great job to get as a student nurse,bet everyone is so grateful where you work, to have a superhero on the team.

02/05/03.."any ideas of equipment and other things I sohould(sic) include whilst I have the funding?"Jay-Z.

Where is it you work,cos I could sure use a job where the funding is managed by the student nurses.

Phd#2

you hold the funding of a new HDU

your attitude

suzy that was not necessarily directed at you. read the closed thread and you can see what pushes us over the line. Frankly, I think it was wrong to close that thread but it was done anyhow. this one is headed that way w/some of the things we are saying here. read what Karen said, and don't take my post personally, ok?

I think it's absolutely stupid that if everything isn't all roses, then the thread gets closed. What's the point of having this BB if you can't say what you think.
