    Disney Culture in Hospitals

    ZASHAGALKA replied to fedupnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I guess saying, "That's not very 'Tweety' of you" doesn't quite bring to mind the same types of platitudes they want to enforce. . . Because you know, ole Tweety, he's a sly one (imagine that last bit...

    Disney Culture in Hospitals

    ZASHAGALKA replied to fedupnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Now Tweety, that's not very 'Disney' of you . . . Besides, EVERYBODY knows that you are more a 'looney tunes' kind of person! ~faith,

    Catholic hospitals-yes or no?

    ZASHAGALKA replied to texascowgirl's topic in Nursing Career

    I work in a Catholic hospital. It's a great place to work. The 'Sisters' seem to me to place how they treat their employees as one of their 'missions'. Now, I HAVE had co-workers complain that the...

    Which Nursing Theory do you agree with?

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in General Nursing

    The only 'theory' I subscribe to is to treat my patients the way I would want a family member treated. I ignore all the rest. Chucked it to the curb ages ago and my nursing practice is better for it....

    Disney Culture in Hospitals

    ZASHAGALKA replied to fedupnurse's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like the "How may I assist you, I have the time" campaigns. Or worse, "Ask me if I've washed my hands". I understand the concept, I just don't like being talked down to like I'm some...

    Robert Wood Johnson Univ Hospital Nurses to Strike

    ZASHAGALKA replied to lee1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I've made critical comments in this thread about the strike, but I was thinking the SAME thing. At least w/ over 3,000 posts over the last year and a half, nobody could argue that I only signed up to...

    Thoughts/feelings 9/11

    ZASHAGALKA replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    Written by me, a few years ago: ‘September 12, 2002’ Yes we remember. But we did not need an anniversary to commemorate these tragic events. Indeed, our great Nation is now following the course of...

    Where were u 9/11/01?

    ZASHAGALKA replied to k_cole21's topic in General Nursing

    I was dropping my last kiddo off at school listening to the top of the hour news broadcast on the radio and it was reporting that a (commuter?) plane had (accidentally?) crashed into the WTC. Before...

    Has New Bill on Retrogession been passed?

    ZASHAGALKA replied to rhp123's topic in International Nursing

    And also, the quota exempt language came from the Senate version of the bill and the House is normally much more strict when it comes to such things. There is no assurance that such language would...

    Nurses Being brought in from another country

    ZASHAGALKA replied to KTYRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just not too concerned about hospitals taking 'stopgap' measures to fix their problems. Are they going to foreign sources to avoid fixing problems and to keep salaries down and working conditions...

    Robert Wood Johnson Univ Hospital Nurses to Strike

    ZASHAGALKA replied to lee1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Perhaps the issues aren't 'easy to resolve', I haven't really addressed that. What I have said is that they are nigh impossible to resolve when the sticking point is an untenable demand. From my...

    Replacement-Nurse Company: Undermines Progress

    ZASHAGALKA replied to nyforlove's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I did look into what was being asked for, the company offered to reduce co-pays and make some changes to the plan to increase doctor participation. The union, turned it down. But I think I kept my...

    Nurses Being brought in from another country

    ZASHAGALKA replied to KTYRN's topic in General Nursing

    I realized that it wasn't what you were saying, but it was how you said it. You talked about Americans being immigrants and it being a 'global' community. The implication is that you have as much...

    verbal a committment??

    ZASHAGALKA replied to lcraigbsn's topic in Travel

    This is not a legal site and so, this is not a legal opinion. The short answer is YES, it is an obligation. Under contract law, once both parties reach a similar accord and agreement regarding the...

    Robert Wood Johnson Univ Hospital Nurses to Strike

    ZASHAGALKA replied to lee1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I had a conversation w/ my brother about this tonight, and he's a union steward. Here's what he said: sometimes, when you want a week's vacation you start out by asking for a trip to disneyland in...

    Socialized Medicine sure is scary.....

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Just ask teachers how the gov't monopoly affects THEIR salaries. . . not to mention how if affects the quality of our education system. How does our 'socialized' education program match up to the rest...

    Socialized Medicine sure is scary.....

    ZASHAGALKA replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The French can have their system. I prefer mine. Communism/Socialism doesn't work, and I don't want to either work for, or be treated by, a 'healthcare collective'. You'll pardon me if I don't have...

    Have you ever heard of Polyheme Resuscitative fluid for acute blood loss?

    ZASHAGALKA replied to krj00's topic in General Nursing

    It's still in trials, and holds much promise, but I agree with this statement: http://www.bioethics.net/journal/j_articles.php?aid=998 "Once blood is available, they profess, randomization should be...

    Has Anyone Failed Nclex With 75 Questions???

    ZASHAGALKA replied to doratheexplorer's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    While I agree with this, it also has something to do with consistency, which is also another indication of being highly identified, either way, by ability. Even if answering questions at a very high...

    Nurses Being brought in from another country

    ZASHAGALKA replied to KTYRN's topic in General Nursing

    Your sentiments are in the right place, but you won't get far with the argument that Americans are all really immigrants and that we are really a 'global community'. Many Americans will challenge both...
