    Help Act On Immigration Reform!, Read and help resolve retrogression

    ZASHAGALKA replied to Ratio Nale's topic in International Nursing

    You make it sound like America is being mean to, or taking advantage of, foreign nurses, just giving them 'scraps from the table'. However, what exactly should the purpose of importing foreign labor...

    Help Act On Immigration Reform!, Read and help resolve retrogression

    ZASHAGALKA replied to Ratio Nale's topic in International Nursing

    I agree with this. Also, while I completely understand your FRUSTRATION, I believe 'indignation' is out of place. You are simply not entitled to come here, at all. Being offered an opportunity to...

    He spent 4 yrs going out of his way to offend his base, and surprise, he now HAS no base. However, that's straying into politics. ~faith,

    Dating Your Doctor

    ZASHAGALKA replied to lmonet82's topic in General Nursing

    Find a new doc first. Common and good advice here. But also: it's none of your co-workers business, and shouldn't be. THAT would just add to the problems if any crop up, later. IF you are interested...

    Still think we have the best Health care in the world?

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oh, I didn't ace the math or verbal parts, by any means. I DID ace the test of standard written English, though. Of course, now I'm older and wiser and sometimes less of a rule-follower: on purpose....

    Amiodarone IV: needs an inline filter??

    ZASHAGALKA replied to tazski12's topic in PACU

    Yes, requires an in-line filter. It is NOT OK for the other place to not use a filter. Legally speaking, should harm result, all the definitions of a valid tort exist in not using a filter: you had an...

    Hey now. I start sentences with conjunctions ALL THE TIME. Even though I know better (I aced the TSWE on my SAT, many moons ago). ~faith,

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I understand what the Preamble says. And the Constitution itself, makes it perfectly clear that it has enumerated specific powers in order to establish the general welfare, and that Congress may NOT...

    i need some help -- DESPERATELY!!

    ZASHAGALKA replied to NurseyTee's topic in General Nursing

    Search the internet or find an article that professionally justifies this above position: patient functioning is NOT the equivalent of restraints. Use it. Try THIS article, which explains things along...

    Still think we have the best Health care in the world?

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I disagree. In two of our original founding colonies, they first tried socialism. Many died. THEN, their leaders wisely switched to free market incentives. The colonies, after that point, thrived....

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Not discounted, but correlation is not causation, especially since other causes are readily apparent. I might concede that if drafted today, the Constitution might look very different. Our founding...

    Nobody had health problems in the 17th Century? Those rankings first - are solely based on the input of the submitting nations. Not an unbiased undertaking to be sure. 2nd- Americans eat crap, and...

    THESE, and ONLY THESE, are the enumerated powers of the Federal Gov't: Section 8. The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for...

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Limited is NOT subjective. In fact, the gov't was very specifically limited in only certain, enumerated ways, to act. There is absolutely NO subjectivity to the specific enumerated powers of a limited...

    The 'fundamental changes' down this path already enacted is WHY the United States isn't more perfect. "In order to form a more perfect union . . . we intend the limit the heck out of gov't." IF you...

    The 85% of the population that can go get a bowl of ice cream for mere percentages of an hour's wage would likely disagree with this sentiment. See, you've effectively traded free and plentiful...

    Still think we have the best Health care in the world?

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Agreed. But in the United States, OUR social contract, as expressed in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, is decidedly in favor of the idea of LIMITED gov't. LIMITED in order to...

    It would be Vanilla all the way, but, you'd have to be on a 6 week waiting list to get a bowl . . . Unlimited demand (by ME) would equal rationed supplies (for YOU). ~faith,

    Instructor says textbooks are wrong about urine output

    ZASHAGALKA replied to Alpha13's topic in General Nursing

    I find that 30ml/hr is a good REPORTING standard, as opposed to necessarily being a good physical standard for a patient. Mind you, IF a pt is putting out at least 30ml/hr, it might not be enough for...

    That's just it, I wouldn't run no stinking campaign! I'd take all your rights away by gov't fiat - me. Then again, that wouldn't be much different than the idea of gov't restricted healthcare, now...

    ZASHAGALKA replied to MM2007's topic in General Nursing

    No problem, I wasn't trying to pick on ya. I understand that all those concepts can swirl while in school, and it takes time to sort them out. Besides, your comments were excellent, and, if you see, I...
