    Vatican said to be rethinking condoms

    ZASHAGALKA replied to ZASHAGALKA's topic in General Nursing

    While I might agree that the church isn't going to change its position on homosexuality anytime soon, I don't think that is at the heart of the issue. Let's face it: for homosexuals using condoms, the...

    Vatican said to be rethinking condoms

    ZASHAGALKA replied to ZASHAGALKA's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't 'overlooked' the point. I've said that people will take the point as they will. If the church positions itself that use of condoms to prevent disease is a response to a higher commandment:...

    Vatican said to be rethinking condoms

    ZASHAGALKA replied to ZASHAGALKA's topic in General Nursing

    1st - I didn't say that millions have contracted AIDS because of this Catholic practice. I said, in the meantime since JPII comments in 1981, millions have contracted AIDS (in toto) and MANY OF THEM...

    Vatican said to be rethinking condoms

    ZASHAGALKA replied to ZASHAGALKA's topic in General Nursing

    You misunderstood me if you thought I was making a reference to the recent scandals in the church. I made no such reference, or even inference. The Apostle Paul said in 1 Cor 7 that he wished that all...

    Shocked At Nurses Actions Tonight

    ZASHAGALKA replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely disagree. The moment abandonment occurred was when the nurse absolutely refused to complete an assignment she had already accepted. Sending her home was simply a consequence for the...

    Shocked At Nurses Actions Tonight

    ZASHAGALKA replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    The key difference between us and 'them' is that we are not intolerant of others simply because 'they' are different than us. And the we and us I refer to include a hardy number of muslims. My opinion...

    Shocked At Nurses Actions Tonight

    ZASHAGALKA replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, your opinions DO make you wrong. They aren't just differing opinions. They are wrong. I DO watch the news, and those on this site can tell you that I have been and remain one of the biggest...

    Vatican said to be rethinking condoms

    ZASHAGALKA replied to ZASHAGALKA's topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to point out that I posted this in the nursing forum and not current events because it relates to WHY the Vatican is reconsidering this issue and that is for health reasons. Because of the...

    Shocked At Nurses Actions Tonight

    ZASHAGALKA replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    The day the U.S. is at war 'with Islam' is the day we cease to be the nation we are. In fact, we are at war with fascists that hide behind their perversion of Islam. Their leaders aren't concerned...

    Shocked At Nurses Actions Tonight

    ZASHAGALKA replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    There is no relationship between refusing to do certain nursing procedures due to religious objections and refusing to take care of someone due to prejudice. I much dislike even the casual connection...

    Shocked At Nurses Actions Tonight

    ZASHAGALKA replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    This is not simply an employment issue; it's a board issue. Patient Abandonment should also be reported to the board. I would point out to your employer that you have a legal obligation to report this...

    *do I even know what I'm doing?*

    ZASHAGALKA replied to level1_traumaRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've posted this before, but it seems worthwhile to post here again. Not all of this applies to the ED, but it applies for some of the others here: Look at the 'first year in nursing' forum. I think...

    do grades really matter after graduation?

    ZASHAGALKA replied to iheartnurses's topic in Texas Nursing

    I used to have this in my most recent signature line before the upgrade limited it to 4 lines: The following is true and statistics fully bear this out: 50% of all nurses graduate in the bottom half...

    How to file complaint against a BON?

    ZASHAGALKA replied to lizzyd's topic in General Nursing

    Theoretically, the Board in most states are legislative created bodies governed and appointed by the State's executive. That means, their bosses in the chain of command are your Gov and your...

    Anyone have the Linda H. AIken study

    Anyone have the Linda H. AIken study

    ZASHAGALKA replied to nitesky83's topic in General Nursing

    which study? staffing issues or BSN and mortality? ~faith,

    "Y" tubing and transfusion reaction

    ZASHAGALKA replied to NYNewGrad's topic in Medical-Surgical

    The y-tubing is essentially a filter and flush for a non-reaction, routine transfusion. At the moment of suspected reaction, the whole deal should come down and a new bag of saline and tubing should...

    Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

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

    In this last statement, you hit the nail on the head. Unfortunately, many of those that advocate for BSN entry do so by claiming that both assertions are true. Lost in the translation is the education...

    Nurses radical bid to knock out political curruption

    It's Official

    ZASHAGALKA replied to Imafloat's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    You go! Don't let the naysayers get you down in days to come. When I started Critical Care, I was determined to be succesful and bucked the odds of quite a few 'personalities'. I'm still here, many of...

    Harder for males to get into BSN or ADN programs?

    ZASHAGALKA replied to maverickemt's topic in Men in Nursing

    Not more difficult, if anything, less. Most schools and the instructors that decide upon admissions know full well that 'diversity' in nursing is a consistent problem. ~faith,

    Nurses radical bid to knock out political curruption

    ZASHAGALKA replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Not even a good soundbite. I'm sorry, being a good nurse has NOTHING to do with an obligation to be a good little liberal. In fact, I'm conservative BECAUSE I believe that it is in the best economic,...
