  1. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    fronkey bean replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It seems to me that if the French system is really that much like ours it wouldn'tbe too hard to adopt some of their programs. We just need to contain the cost from the outset instead of trying to go...

    You don't think we can share w/o the US gov't writing out a plan for us? I have a higher oppinion of us than

  3. "The Jesus Factor"

    fronkey bean replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I wasn't trying to disagree w/ you. I was speaking to the OP's original question about if it was ethical to talk to pt.s about

  4. "The Jesus Factor"

    fronkey bean replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    You dont' know that and neither do I (for that matter unless OP was in room or told by other nurse OP doesn't know), so I'm not "agreeing" w/ you. I'm not disagreeing either I'm just stating what I...

  5. "The Jesus Factor"

    fronkey bean replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    also, I assume since you were uncomfortable you did not ask the priest/chaplain to visit. When the discussion is initiated by the caregiver, yes it is inappropriate, but if a pt initiates then there...

  6. "The Jesus Factor"

    fronkey bean replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    It is completly appropriate to talk to someone about spiritual matters if they bring up the subject and people who are chronically ill and/or dying bring up the subject alot. As long as the nurse is...

  8. "The Jesus Factor"

    fronkey bean replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree a nurse should not impose his/her beliefs on someone else. If this nurse is as "awesome" as OP thinks she is, she wants to be where she can provide comfort to people who are suffering. Helping...

  10. "The Jesus Factor"

    fronkey bean replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    As far as I know it is not unethical to talk about religion w/ a pt. any more than it is unethical for a teacher to talk to students about their religious views ( as long as it is a student initiated...

  11. Creativity

    fronkey bean replied to Cmariehart's topic in General Nursing

    I was working outpt cardiology and had driven to a clinic away from my hosp. Among other things I had to do that day was to put a 24 hour holter monitor on a pt. Well, I had a monitor but somehow I...

  12. "The Jesus Factor"

    fronkey bean replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have never understood why it is such a federal case when a Christian ( or other religion) wants to talk about Jesus. He's obviously important to this woman. I mean no one would get bent out of shape...

  13. CPR Certification?

    fronkey bean replied to 2bz4uqt's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Did you check to make sure the nsg program at JS doesn't provide an on site course? It has been a few years since I was in nsg school but I seem to recall that SUSCC (SUJC at that time) provided a...

  14. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    fronkey bean replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That may be true for some but I don't think that it is universally true. I am neither rich nor male. I can point to the UK and probably to 50-75% of the rest of the countries on the map (pre and post...

    fronkey bean replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Great link Sheri, it is interesting what you didn't mention about the article though. Yes, respiratory mortality rates are lower but, according to the article the tax burden on the French has gotten...

    Thanks Spacenurse. It was good to hear the insurers side and see that they are not evil as they are often portrayed. Not perfect perhaps, but not evil

    1)Again the war is a seperate issue and there are many who think it is required of us to finish what we started. When we do get to the point where we can withdraw from Iraq, we will still have radical...

    Sheri, to respond to your quote; "One of the most compelling quotes in the movie was from an American living in France who essentially said: In France, the government is afraid of the people ... in...

  19. Funny Doctor Situations

    fronkey bean replied to Ubernurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    I had a neurologist come to evaluate a pt w/ new onset facial twitching. He walked in the room and got very agitated b/c she had "all over body twitching". Calmly I asked him to wait just a moment for...

  20. Nursing Surplus?

    fronkey bean replied to sgmanda's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know why but it happened where I work as well. We were told that no one would be fired but as nurses quit they would not be replaced so that our numbers would be reduced by attrition. Didn't...

  21. Your Favorite one liner used with patients

    fronkey bean replied to scaredofshots's topic in Nursing Humor

    When starting iv's I've told pt's they can scream or cry if they want to but they can't hit the nurse. If they ask me if I've done this before I say "Oh tons of times" then I let my shot arm go flacid...

    1) You may not like the war but it is a separate issue. I don't like another situatiion in which money is spent to do something I find immoral ( it has been deemed off topic so I won't mention it...

    Thanks for the link. I'm still not 100% sold but this is more what I wanted to see on this issue. More information, not Moore

    fronkey bean replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Viking, I don't think anyone is arguing that our system is perfect. We could trade newspaper columns all day, some for "Sicko", some against and both would have some truth in them. The question's are:...
