    Trump's 'religious conscience'

    Asystole RN replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    You had to have read the post I was replying to for context. My reply concerned a post that was arguing religions interpretation. I understand your sentiment and even agree with it but I also...

    Trump's 'religious conscience'

    Asystole RN replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    Banning an employer from forcing you to take certain assignments, remember it is not all issues only certain issues, does not mean you are exempt from your legal state

    Trump's 'religious conscience'

    Asystole RN replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    I can understand your feelings but people make the same arguments when it comes to the ADA, sexual harassment etc. There is a balance to things and the pendulum will tend to swing. Despite everyone's...

    Trump's 'religious conscience'

    Asystole RN replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    The problem with your line of argument is that it is also used to discriminate against protected classes. "Don't like being sexually harassed? Don't work in a male predominant place of employment."...

    Trump's 'religious conscience'

    Asystole RN replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    I understand the sentiment but to be honest that is a very narrow and bigoted viewpoint yourself. People have different cultures and religions. The problem is that there is no universal definition of...

    Trump's 'religious conscience'

    Asystole RN replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    Just as institutions cannot discriminate against ADA protected employees, they cannot discriminate against employees due to their religion if they want federal funding. This is not new, these laws...

    Trump's 'religious conscience'

    Asystole RN replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    Arguing religion with your own beliefs is a losing proposition. Might as well argue blue is better than red. Your ethnocentrism is not universal. Your beliefs were created by your unique culture,...

    Trump's 'religious conscience'

    Asystole RN replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    Ethnocentrism makes it very easy for us to dismiss the religious and cultural norms of others. The issue is that some of these things, like hearing tests, are compulsory in some states. Some...

    Trump's 'religious conscience'

    Asystole RN replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    As with all laws, the court has weighs in to interpret the laws the legislature enacts and then the executive branch executes. Depending on how each of these 3 branches reacts to a law will determine...

    Trump's 'religious conscience'

    Asystole RN replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    This is not the blanket "I can refuse to do anything for any religious reason" law that everyone is making it out to be, nor is this even new. Some of these laws date back to the 70's with the newest...

    What one law would most improve nursing?

    Asystole RN replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    You can have a strict staffing bill like California's but it has to take into account factors like differences between units and facilities like critical access hospitals. There is a reason why...

    What one law would most improve nursing?

    Asystole RN replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    What makes you think they are not? Just because they did not support a short sighted, ill-conceived, illogical bill that would have set back healthcare in Massachusetts for years? Once you pass a...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Can you explain why the public should not be allowed to review the evidence and weigh

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Asystole RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Do you think the community looks upon the police with approving eyes every time they dance around formal charges and instead opt for internal discipline? Nursing is the most ethical profession in the...

    What one law would most improve nursing?

    Asystole RN replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    There are 14 states with staffing laws. Regulating nurse staffing at a federal level would be a massive federal effort. Not impossible but significant. The way you get hospitals to buy in is to...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Asystole RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Being charged is not the same as being convicted. Being charged provides the community a chance to see and weigh the evidence. Whenever someone dies at the hands of another person I think serious...

    RN at a loss as to what to get into next

    My wife works for an insurance company and I work in a corporate setting. Look at wound care companies, they are always hiring

    What one law would most improve nursing?

    Asystole RN replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    I would recommend a law where hospitals are reimbursed for nursing time. The way hospitals are reimbursed currently there is little incentive to adequately staff. Nurses are considered "part of the...

    If only life were that simple. I recommend you read the ANA statements on the subject. I would be more than happy to discuss their reasons, not the reasons you make

    Assault is a crime in every state of the union already. If you are saying to elevate the class of the crime would you choose? Class E felony carries a minimum 1 year prison

    What one law would most improve nursing?

    Asystole RN replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    Staffing ratio laws are great but unintelligent blind staffing ratios that take nothing into account are not. ANA had a pretty good explanation as to why they did not support this law but supported...

    HIPPA?

    Asystole RN replied to hara1112's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    First you have to find out if your facility is a HIPPA covered entity, more than likely it is but (especially since it is using an EHR) but not always. What you propose is essentially covered under...
