  1. Regulation Proposed to Help Protect Health Care Providers from Discrimination

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    While you can make that case for abortion, as it's hardly ever medically necessary, your case fails for oral contraceptives, blood products, or anything else medically in the patient's best

  3. New Jurisprudence Exam

    hypocaffeinemia replied to texasrtkd's topic in Texas Nursing

    Classes start back up for us tomorrow as well. I emailed my professors and thankfully they were aware of it. They told us not to worry about it as we can start taking it in the beginning of 2009 and...

  5. How do you change the I.V. drip rate?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital I work at and the two I do clinicals at carry only the 60 gtt/mL pump tubing and a 10gtt/mL macrodrip / blood

  6. How do you change the I.V. drip rate?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in General Nursing

    They most definitely teach it in schools still. A good chunk of our every-semester dosage calculations test is manual drip rates, and we had to demonstrate competency in regulating a manual drip rate...

  7. Frusmide and WFI!!!

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Tiggy's topic in General Nursing

    I can only assume the OP means "water for injection", based on a google search, but that doesn't make the question any easier to comprehend. The amount you dilute with has a negligible effect on...

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I was demonstrating my point that it's about the patient. You said I sounded like administration, but I was imagining myself as the poor guy on the table in need of some blood and some

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree with every word here. Just don't knowingly enter something that contradicts your beliefs and then claim federal

  10. Regulation Proposed to Help Protect Health Care Providers from Discrimination

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The regulation is being pushed hard by the Bush administration- the likely target is pharmacists who have refused to dispense prescribed birth control, including the morning-after pill, but also...

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That's okay, though, because it's about us, not the

  12. Regulation Proposed to Help Protect Health Care Providers from Discrimination

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Then the obvious answer is to not choose a profession and a job where you just might be required to give up your morality. What this regulation does is gives those that made a poor decision to choose...

  13. Regulation Proposed to Help Protect Health Care Providers from Discrimination

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You're not putting anything on the line for a patient when you refuse to apply evidence-based standards of care to them based on personal belief. Starbucks is always hiring if this is your

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Since you agree with him, perhaps you'd care to demonstrate how "sexual discrimination" is a job requirement or standard of

  15. Regulation Proposed to Help Protect Health Care Providers from Discrimination

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Note: I'm an atheist that doesn't believe in abortions (in the majority of cases). What I'm saying is that if assisting in abortions is a situation you are expected to face by choosing a certain job,...

  16. Regulation Proposed to Help Protect Health Care Providers from Discrimination

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Wow. You totally missed the point on this. Last I checked, "sexual discrimination" isn't a job requirement nor is it a standard of care. I think there just might be a difference between the two...

  17. Regulation Proposed to Help Protect Health Care Providers from Discrimination

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This proposed regulation has me riled up enough I just wrote a longer blogpost about it here. To sum up my thoughts: The patient's right to have the best care possible can be severely hamstrung by...

  18. Regulation Proposed to Help Protect Health Care Providers from Discrimination

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Heh. If you don't want to perform an abortion, you don't accept a job where such a thing is required of you. If you don't want to prescribe or dispense birth control, you don't go into a profession...

  19. From Nurse to Physician

    hypocaffeinemia replied to meghun503's topic in General Nursing

    There's no degree in "pre-med". You have to get a bachelors in something, so it might as well be a subject you're interested in. You can go to med school with an art degree so long as you take the...

  20. From Nurse to Physician

    hypocaffeinemia replied to meghun503's topic in General Nursing

    The politically correct answer you're bound to receive in this thread is that nursing and medicine are two different fields and if you want to be a physician you should go for it instead of taking up...

  21. Hospital NP's=Same benefits as CRNAs?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  24. Academic Study of Near Death Experience

    hypocaffeinemia replied to dkvv's topic in General Nursing

    She didn't do an academic study. She wrote a book- big difference. To answer your question, yes and no. I believe patients can experience sensations and even lucid dreams, but that there is a...
