  1. Health care a right or privilege

    jmqphd replied to jcasablanca's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I have a need for 21% oxygen atmosphere. If that's turned into a right, will everyone get room air oxygen? To be fair those who need 25% or more should be cut off. Really, the "reductio ad absurdum"...

  2. Health care a right or privilege

    jmqphd replied to jcasablanca's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is not an issue of American health care. This is an issue of humanity. We humans have evolved to the point where health care should no longer be a privilege, but a right. It's a necessity, just...

  3. Nobody likes "Obamacare", so what should we replace it with?

    jmqphd replied to MunoRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think there could be a way to provide care for the indigent and for people who are in the process of pulling themselves out of an unfortunate hole. I don't think there is a way to do a one size fits...

  5. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    jmqphd replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm having difficulty following you on the Ryan plan. It seems you're conflating Medicare and Medicaid. I'm not that familiar with the way Ryan's plan deals with Medicaid so... you may be right, I...

  6. Nobody likes "Obamacare", so what should we replace it with?

    jmqphd replied to MunoRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Ironically, the single payer option probably would have been more constitutionally sound. The main issue before the court last week was one involving the Commerce Clause. The question was (simply...

  7. Pediatric Nursing Textbook

    jmqphd replied to Saalbunch's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    By all means go on the publisher's websites and request a (free) Desk Copy. Tell them the course you teach, the fact that you are considering a change and that you want to evaluate their

  8. I HATE NANDA!!!!

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I agree. Care Planning makes students identify the patient's problem and explain the proximal cause(s) of the problem then provide assessment evidence for it... these things are golden. They put...

  9. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    jmqphd replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You're right of course. The PPACA was something intended for all Americans (except those exempted by HHS... which puzzles me, but oh, well.) At the same time, there is a huge amount of pandering...

  10. I HATE NANDA!!!!

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I completely agree with you. First, as you suggest, the NANDA syntax (R/T and AEB) is fine. Adds clarity. Second I think people have misunderstood the purpose of care plans. WRITTEN CARE PLANS ARE...

  11. I HATE NANDA!!!!

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Yes, it does make things confusing for students, and it's so nice to see a prof acknowledge that. :) I guess I don't see SBAR as static- situation is now, background is the past pertinent stuff...

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Oops. Double

  13. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    jmqphd replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This thread has featured one of two basic scenarios depending upon the politics of the poster. One is the family/child/elder who is poor through no fault of their own. The second is the individual...

  14. I HATE NANDA!!!!

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    No, Suz... not at all. I have always appreciated SBAR as a practical and necessary communication tool. It has elements of the nursing process in it, but it's more static... describing the situation...

  15. Nobody likes "Obamacare", so what should we replace it with?

    jmqphd replied to MunoRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No,no...of course no one wants the indigent STEMI patient to die on the street. This is the exact accusation that Alan Grayson made in the well of the House... you know, the Alan Grayson who is now a...

  16. Nobody likes "Obamacare", so what should we replace it with?

    jmqphd replied to MunoRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No one knows what the Supremes will do and I am not going to speculate. (Pray, perhaps, but not speculate.) Just want to make a few observations. First, as the OP mentioned, the affordable care act...

  17. Pre nursing student with learning disability

    jmqphd replied to m.con's topic in General Students

    While it is true that schools must follow ADA requirements, it is not necessarily true that the State Board of Nursing does. There is only so much "accommodation" that can be made for those taking...

  18. Teaching Nursing or Not ,Time to call it Quits?

    jmqphd replied to afjgnp's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    First of all... you have my admiration. You've accomplished a lot while carrying physical burdens that would crush a lesser person. My sister is an RN with an MSN. Did ER and loved it for many...

  19. How do you teach the nursing process?

    jmqphd posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I teach in the last semester (Med-Surg) of an ADN program. I have complete faith in the faculty in earlier semesters. I know they are teaching the nursing process, and they are as frustrated as am...

  20. How do you teach the nursing process?

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Quick addendum: "The Nursing Process" is a lot like Jesus, in a way. Everyone knows who Jesus is and claims devotion to him. But put a Catholic, Presbyterian, and Baptist in a room and the...

  21. Dress Code for nursing students?

    jmqphd replied to NPTeacher's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I perused all the posts and I believe MY SCHOOL IS THE ONLY ONE THAT REQUIRES THE CLINICAL DRESS CODE BE FOLLOWED ALL THE TIME. Students are not to enter the school if they are not in uniform. (Grey...

  22. Nursing now vs. then

    jmqphd replied to SweetheartRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well... I graduated in 1971 and up until a year ago had a job at the bedside (now I teach.) Trafalgar has touched on what I think is the biggest difference, and that is all the...

  23. Ever been a patient and had a former student take care of you???

    jmqphd posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am having surgery in the morning. One of my first students who graduated a year ago is staff on the unit to which I'll be admitted. He's fabulous and I would be honored to have him care for me....

  24. Ever been a patient and had a former student take care of you???

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    My student was not on duty, but I had lots of great nursing care. I asked about my student and heard great things about

  25. Vermont governor signs single-payer health law

    jmqphd replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So, VT has decided that every citizen will have the same "insurance". As you point out, the care of the indigent has more or less always been supported by those with means. But for some reason, it...
