    The most common form of SHOCK

    ZASHAGALKA replied to MM2007's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I believe that a common result of sepsis, as well as some other processes, is the most common cause of death in the ICU: multi-system organ failure. I will agree that sepsis is the most...

    ZASHAGALKA replied to amf1987's topic in General Students

    In secondary schools all across this nation, teachers are held accountable for a proficiency test that students must pass at selected intervals and the schools are graded on the results of that test....

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

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I never said MY household wasn't a central planned economy. Make me dictator supreme of the nation where I make all the decisions, and I'll cede to making the Federal gov't a central planned economy....

    The most common form of SHOCK

    ZASHAGALKA replied to MM2007's topic in General Nursing

    Hypovolemic. Then Septic, then Cardiogenic. The thing is, in many cases, septic shock is exacerbated by volume status. When people are sick, they don't take in as much fluids. So, WE see lots of...

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    America IS socialist in its policies, to a degree. So is Europe. Europe is MORE socialist by comparison. I have no illusions of being able to completely root out socialist tendencies in this nation. I...

    Hardest part of nursing school

    ZASHAGALKA replied to amf1987's topic in General Students

    In my mind's eye, the hardest part of nursing school was trying to discern practical instruction from propaganda. It's not always popular advice to give, but my way of thinking is that nursing school...

    ZASHAGALKA replied to rntobeteresa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm very excited for you. Congrats! Make that husband of yours take you out for a wonderful treat! Indeed, today is 'Good Friday'. Eh? Which is another reminder. If you are of the mindset/philosophy...

    Policies on Pt.s bringing Weapons/Guns onto facility grounds?

    ZASHAGALKA replied to MsPiggy's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Texas' concealed carry law prohibits guns being brought into certain areas: banks, gov't buildings, and yes, hospitals. Every entrance to every hospital has a State Law notice that clearly states that...

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Gov't restricted healthcare is a plan by which the advocates say that by gov't taking over the administration of healthcare, costs savings can be had. The effect of gov't administration is gov't...

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Socialism will not be a positive change in our society. It has never been a positive change, for any society. It is not compassionate. It denies the very opportunities to move up that its proponents...

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There are two issues here, Tweety. 1. Creating a social health system safety net. 2. Creating a gov't restricted healthcare system in order to use it as a proxy to promote socialism. The first is...

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

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As the LA Times article I linked points out, yes, we ARE paying the costs. Currently, the average costs hospitals write off for uninsured is about 3%. A huge amount of money, to be sure. However, it...

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It would be, if you were comparing apples to apples instead of apples to oranges. The key: the data is the voluntary submission from the participating gov'ts. In other words, Cuba's health care...

    ZASHAGALKA replied to gasguy1960's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Except these were 'risk shifts' among those known to be Christians and trusted to act in Christian stewardship of those assets. Indeed, when you get to the point of their leaders, elders and deacons,...

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    We want to motivate and encourage the poor to rise to their highest level. How do we do that? I believe that freedom is an essential element of that equation. I know that many of you dismiss free...

    Oh, but they are. You are coming into this debate late. It has taken place over several threads over the course of weeks. Many have asserted that anybody over the poverty line has 'won life's lotto'...

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You have missed several of my points. First, I disagree with the necessity to trade freedoms for 'a fair shot'. This nation provides every able-bodied person with an inherent 'fair shot' and those...

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    YOU'RE not advocating that. I agree. But that doesn't mean 'nobody' is advocating that. Many on this thread, in fact, are. It's not that I'm all that concerned about it though. Higher taxes is a dirty...

    On at least THIS point, we agree: the gov't was wrong to tighten bankruptcy law. THAT isn't a case of free market, but of neo-mercantilism: companies using the power of gov't to get a competitive...
