  2. Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The United Kingdom passed what is now called "the 1967 act" which made abortion legal. They don't impose it on Northern Ireland where it remains illegal. (I don't think we can extrapolate that as a...

  3. Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In my reading of this string (and you can... will... correct me if I'm wrong) I cannot find one instance where a the pro-rights respondent is advocating/approving the active obstruction of a person's...

  4. John Nichols: Ryan's wrong - we need 'Medicare for all'

    jmqphd replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    From USA Today Citizens Action of Wisconsin and the Milwaukee Labor Council have enlisted a traveling band of seniors to follow Paul Ryan’s every move while he conducts town halls across the state....

  5. Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If it did cause the embryo to undergo apoptosis (in other words, suppose its mechanism of action was on the embryo and not the endometrium) do you think doctors/pharmacists could refuse on moral...

  6. Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think it is telling that those who are anti-conscience, almost exclusively personalize the argument. If I had crippling endometriosis and took BCP's so I could walk upright (even if I couldn't get...

  7. Would you give Lantus without BG check?

    jmqphd replied to Prettybrowngirl's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. Giving Lantus or any insulin requires more than just a number on a flow

  8. Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Using your reasoning, why do we need pharmacists at all? Regarding government funded medical school... how about all Americans with educational loans? Should they be told where they can work? How...

  9. Would you give Lantus without BG check?

    jmqphd replied to Prettybrowngirl's topic in General Nursing

    Wouldn't you care as much or more about how well the patient is eating? If my diabetic patient is NPO or been throwing up for a half a day... that would concern me more than a spot check of the BG....

  10. Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Unless she can abort her own baby, there's a third (4th, 5th etc.) person involved. If Plan B were OTC, we probably wouldn't be having this discussion. Do you believe that abortion will be the ONLY...

  11. Cognitive Dissonance

    jmqphd posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    On the one hand, students (in our ADN program) complain that they don't understand Med-Surg and care-planning because we aren't giving them enough pathophysiology. But when you actually address...

  12. Feeling discouraged

    jmqphd replied to virgo,student nurse's topic in General Nursing

    You took a math coorifice. Before you test again, find somewhere (or some source) that teaches you medication administration and calculation, also features reading med labels, and conversions....

  13. Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    "Mandatory waiting periods, forced education and viewing of ultrasounds impinge upon the consciences of women seeking abortion as well as the healthcare providers who support their right to do so. I...

  14. Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I know I cannot convince anyone, but would like to promote some dialogue. Let me ask a question. Let's suppose that Plan B did not alter the endometrium, but it was specifically designed to kill the...

  15. online tutoring?

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

    I don't think so. I don't believe any state board would have jursidiction. You're not offering a degree so the accrediting bodies shouldn't object. You give value for the money, the students...

  16. Cognitive Dissonance

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

    HESI scores in the 500's. Happily our current cadre of students are doing better and... believe it or not... think pathophys is pretty neat. But the debate about pharm and patho nevertheless rages...

  17. Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In February, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced the rescission of most of the Bush administration's 2008 conscience protections, removing the rights of doctors, pharmacists...

  18. Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think most people with particular sensitivities will avoid situations that they know will put them in moral conflict. The problem with the abortifacients is that the federal rule effects every...

  19. Are all nursing positions about like this?

    jmqphd replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    You said what I said but much more efficiently.

  20. Are all nursing positions about like this?

    jmqphd replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you sure that's all she did? Did she look at the patients? If she did (and if she's competent) she automatically took in, respiratory status (objectively and subjectively),...

  21. Nursing Students Incivility Towards Faculty and Other Students

    jmqphd replied to vbwise2's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    please find a way to fail them so we don't have to deal with ANOTHER bad attitude in the hospital. I've failed a student at mid-term for showing 'tude on the clinical unit and being thoughtless...

  22. Hats, err, caps off to those of you...

    jmqphd replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    I teach nursing. I proudly wear my pin on my scrubs. (I even where a collared shirt under my scrub top so that I can wear it properly... and my bra doesn't show when I bend over.) I have my...

  23. Something is wrong with me. Guess I shouldn't be a nurse

    jmqphd replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    It's too bad because I am super compassionate and very perceptive to the feelings and emotions of others. I love talking to people and helping them solve their problems. I feel that I have a way of...

  24. Please help Failed Nursing Classes

    jmqphd replied to sweetie2525's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The answer to your question is probably in your student handbook. The school has to stay with their written policies. If their policies are vague, or if they explicitly say the decision is the...

  25. Hallelujah!!!

    jmqphd posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I have written about my three students who failed last semester. They were crushed and their failure created real financial hardship for them. But they didn't just fail... they bombed! So helping...
