  1. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    NurseGuy_in_06 replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    What do you not understand about it? We are a nation governed by non-medical people. It does not have to make medical sense to become law. In Georgia when our former governor heard that babies...

  2. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    NurseGuy_in_06 replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    It is a very short step from being a good thing, to being the right thing, to being the law. In our society it will be law one day that the state has the "right" to harvest your organs without your...

    They do show up on the family doorstep, in the hospital, and they do solicit

    I meant to say my post was in general and not to you

  5. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    NurseGuy_in_06 replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    Another form of coersion, in my opinion, is that in the state of Georgia the hospital, by law, has to notify the organ donation group (don't know their official name) when someone dies so that the...

    Well

  7. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    NurseGuy_in_06 replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that a person can give their opinion on a subject without necessarily stating why they believe that way. But I believe they give up that right if they question another person's reason for...

  8. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    NurseGuy_in_06 replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    I would compare organ donation more to being in a major disaster. Neither the person needing an organ nor the person in the disaster asked to be put in their situation. And I have never heard of...

  9. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    NurseGuy_in_06 replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    My question is posed to those who said "it makes me angry". I totally disagree with putting stipulations on who is on the list to receive a donation. That is putting a price on receiving an organ....

    What is it about the decision not to donate your organs that makes you so angry? Why are you

  11. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    NurseGuy_in_06 replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    What if you are in an accident and need blood. Should only blood doners receive blood? If you want me to be a donor then convince me, don't bribe, coerce, or threaten me. (Not you personally but...

    I do not speak a foreign language. Can you

  13. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    NurseGuy_in_06 replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    So you are saying we can buy an organ now with our guarantee to give one in the future. I read a science fiction story like this one time. The story line was that you donated your "extra" organs to...

    NurseGuy_in_06 replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    You asked an honest question and got some honest answers is all. At this point in my life I am not a donor and have no plans to

  15. Overtime money

    A person is nerver too old or young to flirt. However, my wife may disagree so I won't show her my reply.

  17. Why do some nurses do this? And why are they allowed to?

    NurseGuy_in_06 replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    How do you figure you are working for free? If you are grossing $3000 per week you should be taking home around $2000. And if you are grossing $1500 per week you should be taking home around $1000....

  18. Overtime money

    NurseGuy_in_06 replied to sheliamd's topic in General Nursing

    You are welcome. Another distorted myth: you can save money on your taxes by spending/donating money. Using the 35% tax bracket again as an example: If you donate/spend money just to save taxes...

  19. Overtime money

    NurseGuy_in_06 replied to sheliamd's topic in General Nursing

    Thankfully a nursing shortage = the need for ot. Maybe not in every hospital but probably 95%. Anyone out there work in a hospital that did not need someone to work ot in the last 2

  20. Overtime money

    NurseGuy_in_06 replied to sheliamd's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to burst your bubble but the government does NOT get most of your ot back in taxes. If the tax bracket you are in is the 35% tax bracket then you still keep 65% of the ot earned. I will take...

  21. Why do some nurses do this? And why are they allowed to?

    NurseGuy_in_06 replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    The obvious reason is money and if it does not endanger the patients I say go for it. Some people, however, subscribe to the theory that they work three days a week because they can't make it on...

  22. Was I wrong to say anything?

    NurseGuy_in_06 replied to lil_miss_attitude's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    My point is this: whether I agree with your opinion or not I respect

  23. Labor, birth and spectators

    NurseGuy_in_06 replied to KRVRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No problem with her having the final say. It just seemed that the overwhelming census was that because it is her body, the man should have zero say in the matter. My opinion is that they are joined...

  24. Labor, birth and spectators

    NurseGuy_in_06 replied to KRVRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree that the woman should have her choice as to who is in the delivery room but I take exception when some of you ladies suggest that the baby is HERS and HERS only. The baby was made by 2...

  25. California "Guvenator" has made wonderful changes for nurses!

    NurseGuy_in_06 replied to ZZTopRN's topic in General Nursing

    I read the book written by Arnold in the 1970's. Arnols is for Arnold first and foremost. Arnold is his own favorite cause. Using this as your Assessment, can you figure out the Diagnosis Arnold...
