  1. Antidepressants and Hospitalization

    NiobiusSwan replied to DidiRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was doing some CE not long ago for pharmacy, and I had to do one on cancer pain. The article was discussing terminally ill cancer patients and how toward the end, they often request assisted...

  2. law school

    NiobiusSwan replied to momoftriplets's topic in General Nursing

    If I survive the next 3 years of nursing school, I absolutely plan to go on to law. I like the idea of having a strong medical background and something I love to fall back on, and, ahem, knowing where...

  3. What career would you suggest

    NiobiusSwan replied to angel337's topic in General Nursing

    Before I was accepted to nursing school, I was pursuing my associates in respiratory therapy. There was no wait list, and it took 2 years flat. Clinicals started the third semester. I loved it! Had I...

  4. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    NiobiusSwan replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I'm confused here...assuming that the cases in which recipients contracted cancer due to the donated organs are valid - aren't most people who recieve organs going to die if they don't get a...

  5. What career would you suggest

    NiobiusSwan replied to angel337's topic in General Nursing

    http://stats.bls.gov/oco/ That is the link to the online Occupational Outlook handbook...it's great, you can type in any career and find out salary ranges, outlook,

  6. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    NiobiusSwan replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    Posted by NiobiusSwan: Posted by NurseGuy_in_06: Alright...this is what I was referring to in that rather long paragraph. I feel that morality encompasses more than merely a lack of specific...

  7. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    NiobiusSwan replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    It would be immoral to have a government mandate. I absolutely agree. But I'm curious, why do you think it's NOT immoral to not donate your

  8. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    NiobiusSwan replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    No, I don't think that everyone should leave their assets to the poor, though it's a nice thought. More than likely, their family can utilize those assets. But chances are, most family members aren't...

  9. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    NiobiusSwan replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, here is why I would perceive it as immoral...and that word isn't exactly the best adjective, but in any case... Let's say I am dead. I have a body, organs that could save many lives. I am not...

  10. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    NiobiusSwan replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    True, some people might find it immoral to donate or receive...but what we're discussing (I thought) was WHY. Some people may find it immoral to tell the truth as well or to save a stray dog on the...

  11. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    NiobiusSwan replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, some of my friends are. I stated in my FIRST post that I know some wonderful Christians, I elaborated in my second. Does that clear up the confusion? Perhaps you're wondering why I would sound so...

  12. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    NiobiusSwan replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps you are right, I apologize for not being more careful about making generalizations. As I said previously, I have met some wonderful people who are Christians...some of my best friends...

  13. Poor America doles our substandard social policy

    NiobiusSwan replied to Larry's topic in General Nursing

    As I am only a nursing student, I cannot speak for how it affects nursing as well as I'd like to. But, from my pharmacy experience, I can point out one way. I cannot tell you the number of chronically...

  14. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    NiobiusSwan replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    I always seem to get in on these conversations after there are already 21 pages of responses, so forgive me if I miss something. I just don't have time to read the 21 pages! In response to the very...

  15. Offended by Prayer

    NiobiusSwan replied to CCU NRS's topic in General Nursing

    :rotfl:

  16. Offended by Prayer

    NiobiusSwan replied to CCU NRS's topic in General Nursing

    I completely agree. I would feel blessed that the nurse cared enough to pray. As long as it was done in love, I would feel

  17. When One Child Is Enough

    NiobiusSwan replied to Spidey's mom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I completely agree. What's more, I doubt that the very people opposing abortion the most will even tolerate an adequate portion of their taxes going toward buying these kids some milk and peanut...

  18. Surrogacy ? How do you feel about it?

    NiobiusSwan replied to IMTechnology's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It's the Catholic church that is against it - at least according to my friend. She is incredibly devout, so she's probably right. The basic reasoning she gave me is that you are interfering with God's...

  19. does hypoxia hurt

    NiobiusSwan replied to likeminz's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    If the baby was going to die regardless, isn't it better that his demise was speedy? For that child's sake, and the sake of its parents, I am glad they gave him morphine, so he could go as comfortably...

  20. When One Child Is Enough

    NiobiusSwan replied to Spidey's mom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    And the results are TRAGIC - beyond belief. Not just for the women - though that should be enough - but for the children as well. There's just no way around it. These women and kids go thru hell....

  21. When One Child Is Enough

    NiobiusSwan replied to Spidey's mom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree completely. Well, I suppose it is a life, technically, as is bacteria, as are fetal pigs, as are many things. I remember looking at a pig fetus and a human fetus in one of my science classes -...

  22. When One Child Is Enough

    NiobiusSwan replied to Spidey's mom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If it's me that you are addressing your "Judge me" comment to, try reading my entire post before you decide to make such statements. I will say this again, one more time...my point is that none of us...

  23. When One Child Is Enough

    NiobiusSwan replied to Spidey's mom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Then he was relinquishing his choice right there and made a conscious choice to do so. If you are having unprotected sex with a woman, you should know what her thoughts are on these issues, because if...

  24. When One Child Is Enough

    NiobiusSwan replied to Spidey's mom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    One more thing - fathers do have a say. They can wear a

  25. When One Child Is Enough

    NiobiusSwan replied to Spidey's mom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My point is being misinterpreted. I am saying that it is just as easy to judge those who choose not to adopt - the point being, let's stop judging! We shouldn't be judging (in my opinion) this woman,...
