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

    I am always astounded that no matter how many times it is pointed ou that MM has deliberately twisted facts and misrepresented people, he gets a pass on whatever he says. I am not saying that the man...

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

    Your chart suggest that those who don't identify themselves as progressive are short-sighted, afraid of new ideas, niave, closed-minded, selfish, arrogant, and xenophobic - I think I've been...

    You know I've heard alot about how the U.S.'s healthcare syst. is broken (and I am not going to say it is perfect by any means) but I would like to give my experience w/ a very good syst. My brother...

  6. Do nurses support physician assisted suicide?

    fronkey bean replied to NightOwl0624's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if someone can tell me if in Oregon the PAS is carried out in the hosp. or in another setting? I wonder if nurses and MD's will be pressured to participate? I know that sounds paranoid but...

    fronkey bean replied to NightOwl0624's topic in General Nursing

    We're not talking about withdrawing support or refusing treatment. We are talking about PAS, giving someone the means to kill

  9. Do nurses support physician assisted suicide?

    fronkey bean replied to NightOwl0624's topic in General Nursing

    Didn't see anything in the ANA code about handing someone who intends to kill themselves the means to do so. And while it may be religeous convictions that cause many to reject PAS that does not make...

  10. Do nurses support physician assisted suicide?

    fronkey bean replied to NightOwl0624's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry disagree. We are preventing a natural death when we introduce equipment or substances to the body to prolong life (meds, vents, etc.). Sometimes this is good - when you can help the body though...

    fronkey bean replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    fronkey bean replied to 2bnurseguy_2005's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Been at EAMC for 13 yr and have worked w/ many of both and they both put out good nurses. Whether or not a nurse is good right out of school really depends more on the personality of the nurse than...

  16. Salary questions for AL nurses

    fronkey bean replied to 12breakfree's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Hello from an EAMC ICU nurse. You are right about the low salaries but believe it or not we are not the worst. Hard to believe but I was on another thread where someone was talking about only making...

    fronkey bean replied to greensister's topic in International Nursing

    You definitely have my sympathy for being unfairly accused and helpless to defend yourself. Same kind of thing happens on this side of the pond as well. I had a coworker who irritated a supervisor and...

    Many of MM's "proofs" were later shown to be false or exagerated. He makes films that promote a viewpoint - period. I will watch it on video just to see if there is anything redeeming in it but as I...

    I don't know that it is torture if someone is being treated kindly and w/ dignity. people are not animals and should not be treated in the same "better" way. I love my cats and my dogs (2 of each) but...
