    malamud69 replied to Trenbolone Acetate's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ugh Experience

    malamud69 replied to Lpnkerry's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Religion in Nursing

    malamud69 replied to NICU:)'s topic in General Students

    Personally, I doubt I would have even sat through a lecture like that. It seems so far outside the realm of what a school should be teaching. Granted in a private religious school it would probably be...

    Alternative Therapies with Western medical model

    malamud69 replied to boywork's topic in Patient Education

    Each patient is unique and should be treated as such...when "we" put everybody in a "cookie cutter" mold to treat them...whether science driven or "alternative" we disregard the whole person...of...

    CNA experience = more competitive?

    malamud69 replied to tgw225's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Seems that in the hospital I work in if you were an aide at the hospital before/as you were going to nursing school etc...and you are all ready on the radar, then you have a chance at a nursing...

    Nutrition Class

    malamud69 replied to smtha620's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If anything nutrition should be included in all schools. Mine does not require it...speaking of holistic care, I wonder if all the nurses shoving fast food down their throats would benefit from a...

    Hospice and Assisted Suicide

    malamud69 replied to Spidey's mom's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    It is each person's individual right to choose their own death. Period end of story. As such, suicide being illegal is an absurdity. All states must enact assisted suicide programs...it is only human....

    malamud69 replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Dare I say..."missed the point???" Of course there are "a whole lot of trained nurses from other parts of the world who would love to do..." What is your point? And your statement about "open borders...

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    malamud69 replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Would you do the work??? That is the question. It is not an "assumption" look around. Also..Of course raising the minimum wage would be a good thing to do. How? The people at the top want to keep this...

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    malamud69 replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Simple logic: These "ideas"/ laws were introduced, people left, nobody is doing the work, the people that supported the idea are now in trouble because they now have nobody to do the work...simple...

    malamud69 replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Wow...are you sure..like the deportation argument...since CNA's and PCT's and EMT's etc...etc...are not "Nurses" should they be told to leave this forum? And gosh...are you really invoking "the red...

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    malamud69 replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    After reading these posts for the past couple of days, it seems "clear" (as it can be) that there is no one "correct" answer...were we "draw the line" as a society(of course for some to agree on a...

    malamud69 replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    "If healthcare is a basic human right and someone is stranded alone on an island, the right to healthcare would be invalid. Doesn't make sense. He does however retain the right to say whatever he...
