    Good Samaritan laws in the US?

    Asystole RN replied to uRNmyway's topic in General Nursing

    "Good Samaritan" laws vary by state and you should look them in up your personal state of residence. For the most part you are protected from litigation if you provided care within the scope of your...

    As a nurse, what does it mean to be in medicine?

    Asystole RN replied to BINOC's topic in General Nursing

    Allowing Corpsman to Become Nurses

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    Asystole RN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Free has a quality of its own, especially since I would not even contribute in taxes to the cost. Canadians have nothing on Americans when it comes to footing the bill from medical tourism/illegal...

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    Asystole RN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Asystole RN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It is hard for me to feel sorry for the poor man who sits on his mountain of gold. If we have universal healthcare then the citizens of your, mine, and every other state will not have the right nor...

    Time to call a duck a duck?

    Asystole RN replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Nope, it is not a true profession but rather a developing profession. This is largely due to the uncontrolled standards of education into the entry of the profession, not autonomy or any other
