Unethical Practices?

[Q.]

you guys really need to chill out and not take things so seriously really. anywho. this was an experiment for my thesis on Nursing unions and strength in numbers. my theory is based in two parts rounded up by the theory that US Nurses are a stronger group hence why they are paid more, more respected etc and UK Nurses are weak etc thats why they get paid less.

Thanks anyway. i appear to have gotten a first (an A) for a well written and insightful if not unusual study, which will go towards what is my second PhD.

Is it just me, or is anyone else a bit hopeful that someone from Allnurses.com made it perfectly clear that they will not be the platform for unethical "studies?" Clearly here, informed consent did not take place, as well as a whole other slew of violations of the Belmont Report, the Nuremburg Code, etc as outlined for ethical research.

Although I'm confused why a doctoral candidate would be working on a thesis rather than a dissertation, but anyway.

I would HOPE that rather than pointing the finger at bonafide Allnurses members for biting back at what turned out to obviously be a thread meant to provoke, that they would take a hard look at the post above and make sure this doesn't happen again.

If this very serious issue has already been addressed, I think we'd like to be reassured that we are in fact, safe here, and that this type of unethical practice has been deterred.

Thank you.

All Heathers must think alike?

Ditto what both Heathers and Suzy have said.

Rude people are undesirable regardless of their nationality.

I think you're due for graduation soon!

Have we finally hit our limit on tolerance or are there just WAY too many new idiots on here? I'm beginning to dread coming here.

(wish my name were heather...)

I don't dread it, I wonder who's going to make the jack*** comment of the day.

Am I the only one getting oh so tired of weirdos who seem to be infiltrating this BB at an alarming rate? Holy Kamolie. And threads being closed so fast you never even get a chance to form an opinion. :-( Ok. Back to work with me.....charts to review...just taking a break......ttfn ( I LOVE the UK!)

Anyone up for starting a thread to question why so many threads have been closed lately??

....Heather #1 or Heather #2??

I thought the same thing ... but I'm not a Heather... but I have a cousin named Heather. Is that close enough?

[RNforLongTime]

Hmm..who is closing these threads? Is Brian? I'm listed as a moderator of this forum and two others but I for one have not closed a thread OR have I had any threads reported to me lately and I check my email regularly.

Heathers......hmmm wasn't that the name of a movie starring Winona Rider and Chrisitan Slater where they kill all the Heathers except Shannen Doherty's character. And those Heathers were a bunch of bytches!!!! But I KNOW that our Heathers are not!
