I need a nursing debate topic, any suggestions?

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I have a debate in two weeks, we were paired up in partners and my partner chose a topic that is really one side, so I am looking for an alternative. I need a debate topic we both can find plenty of information on the pro and con side? Any debates you can think of would be helpful. :rolleyes:

Specializes in Nephrology, Cardiology, ER, ICU.

How about stem cell research? Lots of info - the sides are either pro or con and its a current subject.

You could consider the pro/con of families in the ER treatment rooms during codes.

HIV caregivers, should the patient be advised when their physician/nurse is HIV positive?

Specializes in ICU.

OOOh! Look at the "hot topics" here - breastfeeding, ADN vs BSN, LVN versus RN........... I could go on but check out some of the longer threads and that will give you an indication of how "contentious" they are!

Specializes in Critical Care, Telemetry.

Legalization of marijuana.

Should socioeconomic status be considered when evaluating patients for organ transplantation? (I actually used this topic for a debate in graduate school.)

Specializes in Geriatrics/Oncology/Psych/College Health.

Or the rights of prisoners re: health care?

patients right to refuse life-saving treatment. (example jehovah's witnesses and blood transfusions)
