    Voluntary Euthanasia

    duskyjewel replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Errors are not intentional killing. Euthanasia is. Withdrawing aggressive care and letting nature take its inevitable course while providing comfort is not intentional killing. Euthanasia is...

    Voluntary Euthanasia

    duskyjewel replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Muno, you're saying that 200,000-400,000 people in this country die as the result of affirmative actions by healthcare workers with intent to kill? Not withdrawing extraordinary measures, directly...

    Voluntary Euthanasia

    I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    duskyjewel replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    duskyjewel replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When have I ever said what people kept in the privacy of their bedrooms is my business? And when have I ever suggested stoning? However, if I find out someone is cheating on their spouse, I will...

    I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    duskyjewel replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Here's a thought: maybe people should stop being such cowards as to allow themselves to be chased off. I can't believe no one said something along the lines of, "Hey, I'm trying to eat my lunch,...

    Sepsis as Hospice Diagnosis

    duskyjewel replied to lpoore's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Here's an example of what I've seen: a person with some medical problems but who is not terminally certified yet, gets a wound somehow. Or they have surgery and pick up a hospital-based infection in...

    Say no to artificial sweeteners

    I've thought for a long time that we were going to find out those things would have serious health consequences. Just read about their manufacturing processes, that alone should be enough to scare...

    How much do I charge??

    duskyjewel replied to AggieNurse2B's topic in Legal

    Maybe do a little research on what legal nurse consultants charge per hour, then knock off 1/3 since you don't have experience and are not actually certified in such a role. I admit I could be...

    Would you like your job more if you were paid more?

    duskyjewel replied to proud nurse's topic in General Nursing

    No kidding. My kids look college-bound for the most part, but if one of them ends up being less academically-inclined, I'm telling them to become plumbers or electricians or welders! Because all...

    Per diem with no insurance

    duskyjewel replied to perfexion's topic in General Nursing

    Horse puckey. You can still get an order of support and they can garnish his wages directly through his employer. Get your children the support they have a right to! You don't have the right to not...
