    Universal coverage for pregnant women and children = 9 days of DOD spending

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    and thank god that the united states of america has done more to promote this concept, throughout the world, with the prosperity that comes with its enlightened ideas of capitalism, than any force in...

    Universal coverage for pregnant women and children = 9 days of DOD spending

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Any Bible quote you could summon up about the concept of charity is not at issue - AT ALL - to the power of a confiscatory gov't. Your taxes will not be considered 'charity', by ANY definition, to any...

    Universal coverage for pregnant women and children = 9 days of DOD spending

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Coerced confiscation of wages is NOT charity. How well you contrive to spend MY money is not a mark or measure of how charitable YOU are. Charity is how you choose to spend YOUR money, not everybody...

    Universal coverage for pregnant women and children = 9 days of DOD spending

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In THIS case, instead of leaving at the prospect of the creation of evil in the name of compassion, I instead choose to combat such destructive ideas, in the defense of the liberty my country has long...

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The comparson between (historical) slavery and (currently proposed gov't coerced) slavery is not a false dichotomy at all. Read on: "I hold then, that there never has yet existed a wealthy and...

    Universal coverage for pregnant women and children = 9 days of DOD spending

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As opposed to a proposed scheme that would 'force' me to contribute to the health care of deadbeats that don't choose to get their own. (NO, I didn't say that meant everybody not on health insurance...

    My paycheck on Thursday would have been MUCH more decent if Uncle Daddy hadn't taken 648 dollars out of it first. . . This is especially true in that, when you eliminate bridges to nowhere in Alaska,...

    Universal coverage for pregnant women and children = 9 days of DOD spending

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Not at all. It's EQUALLY offensive and insulting to command the fruits of THEIR labor for the benefit of others as it is to command the fruits of MY labor for the benefits of others - both at the...

    Universal coverage for pregnant women and children = 9 days of DOD spending

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Give them the OPPORTUNITY to excel without becoming future slaves to irresponsible people like their parents. Everybody here, probably, would detest slavery. But, that is EXACTLY what is being...

    A Different Approach to the ADN vs. BSN Debate

    ZASHAGALKA replied to Sheri257's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The thing is, I don't think many ADN nurses come out of their programs and think, "Wow. I finally have an ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE; I'm educated now!" I think the thinking falls more along the lines of,...

    simple facts: individual income accounted for 899 billion in tax revenue in 2005 individual income accounted for 797 billion in tax revenue in 2000 that is a 12.8% increase in income tax receipts...

    Universal coverage for pregnant women and children = 9 days of DOD spending

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is a total fabrication. Your assessment of the cost of the tax cut is apt if you compare the tax receipts of 2000 to the expected receipts of 2001, assuming no benefit from the tax cuts. In...

    Universal coverage for pregnant women and children = 9 days of DOD spending

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree with everything you said about your right to your point of view. I just disagree that such a point of view makes you 'about as right wing as you can get'. The willingness to 'cross party...

    Universal coverage for pregnant women and children = 9 days of DOD spending

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Don't take this the wrong way, but you cannot both support the socialization of 1/7th of our economy and be 'about as right wing as you can get'. Those are mutually exclusive agendas. That's like...

    Universal coverage for pregnant women and children = 9 days of DOD spending

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In case you haven't noticed, even factoring in Iraq, the 'military industrial complex' gets such a smaller percentage of both the budget and GDP these days that it isn't even fashionable anymore to...

    higher pay for BSN grads?

    ZASHAGALKA replied to evans_c1's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I doubt it. You'd have to provide some proof of that, like links to the website of both programs. See, here's the thing. The number of clinical hours that programs have to do are strictly regulated by...

    A Different Approach to the ADN vs. BSN Debate

    ZASHAGALKA replied to Sheri257's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    As soon as BSN became standard across the profession, those differentiations that now benefit BSN would move up the chain to MSN. BSNs that now hold those jobs would be told that they either need to...

    ADN vs. BSN for Entry Level Nursing

    ZASHAGALKA replied to pattycakebaby's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There are powerful metamessages at play in this definition of profession. BSN proponents vest 'profession' in BSN because it vests their interests. That is a completely arbitrary definition, as I...

    ADN vs. BSN for Entry Level Nursing

    ZASHAGALKA replied to pattycakebaby's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well let me say this, for the ANA to be considered the spokespeople for our PROFESSION, they would have to recruit significantly more than 5% of our numbers. The fact that they cannot recruit more...

    I did see this one coming...

    ZASHAGALKA replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Relatively speaking, you did fine. Sounds like at least the top 20%, if not top 10%. I would keep up the studies and not let one exam that you scored in the top 20% on get you down. Good luck, you...

    NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

    ZASHAGALKA replied to Brian's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    A key concession to this idea and a potent first step towards BSN entry is that nursing needs a national articulation model where all the prep work of any degree pathway is fully transferable to every...

    ADN vs. BSN for Entry Level Nursing

    ZASHAGALKA replied to pattycakebaby's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I disagree. That is your definition of a profession. It is not necessarily the only or even the most prominent view of a profession. For example, on the other extreme, no MD would consider holding...

    NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

    ZASHAGALKA replied to Brian's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Your error in logic is that nursing did not and hasn't 'lowered' its standards due to a shortage. ADN nursing represented, at the time, a vast improvement in the quality of nursing education. It was a...
