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

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

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

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

    If I hate being a Cna, should I stop pursuing Nursing?

    Asystole RN replied to Pattycakes85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CNA work is not RN work. Although I personally liked being a CNA, somewhat, there are many jobs/specialties in registered nursing that I hate. Being a registered allows for an amazing amount of...

    Those who took the time, money and effort to immigrate here LEGALLY tend to object to those who commit felonies to cheat there way into the country. My mother (legal immigrant) is a viscous...

    VIP treatment. Ethical dilemma for paper?

    Asystole RN replied to metfan's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, although the topic is interesting, I think you are going to have a difficult time finding adequate literature to support your position. If you attempt to challenge the ethics of treating a...

    Asystole RN replied to metfan's topic in General Nursing

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

    I was born here. Those who came before me, who are now dead, who are not related to me, are no concern of mine. I did not kill anyone. My family did not kill anyone. All those who committed those acts...
