  4. What do you think about computers on you unit?

    PamUK replied to evltwnRN's topic in General Nursing

    A solution for the hospital board. There are gadgets out there that you can attach to small items that will set off alarms if they go outside a given area. We have them in the UK, so I'm sure you've...

  5. Check Your Wall Clocks - Hidden Cameras

    PamUK replied to Gomer's topic in General Nursing

    If the hospital is watching people in a clandestine way, they have clandestine

  6. SMOKE FREE HOSPITALS inside and out

    PamUK replied to Maggie in NC's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like PATERNALISM with a great big stick to me Dont agree with institutions/govenrments or any other "higher body" dictating what we should & should not do. The health care system &...

  7. Offended by Prayer

    PamUK replied to CCU NRS's topic in General Nursing

    My responses are in sequential order to your posting:No, I wont know what is happening when I am dead and I've already stated in an earlier posting I wouldn't mind if someone prayed over me after I am...

  8. Must we all die with a feeding tube?

    PamUK replied to URO-RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I am quite shocked at this! In the UK an advance directive is legally binding through civil law and the govenment is in the process of consultation to make it statutory law. If a physician overruled...

  9. Why aren't we unionized?

    PamUK replied to leslieanne's topic in General Nursing

    Bit different over here. Any nurse, including agency nurses, can join any appropriate national union & get representation from them if they need it. My union (I am in the Royal College of Nursing,...

  12. Why aren't we unionized?

    PamUK replied to leslieanne's topic in General Nursing

    For those of you who dont believe in unions, you should go & read another thread on "exploitation". This nurse is an imigrant and the hospital is demanding their passport until the contract is...

  13. Offended by Prayer

    PamUK replied to CCU NRS's topic in General Nursing

    Your "parting wish" CCUNRS is fairly secular and a lot more appropriate in a multicultural society. I think that you should take out the sentence "I humbly ask..." Who are you asking? Your God I...

  14. Offended by Prayer

    PamUK replied to CCU NRS's topic in General Nursing

    As an atheist, I believe that when you are dead, you are dead. Oblivion. Nothingness. Nul and void. Negated. So, I wouldn't know if you were praying for me, and wouldn't be able to care if you did....
