Discussion : Global Nursing Shortage

POST on the Discussion (EACH POSTING = at least 50 words)

a) The debate over health care as a “right” is at the heart of the U.S. health care reform discussion. The statements (quotes) at the beginning of this module indicate that WHO and the U.S. disagree about health care being a “right.” Do you think health care is (or is not) a “right?” If a “right,” who should pay for it? Provide a rationale with your opinion (at least 50 words). Then, RESPOND to one (1) peer posting on health care as a “right.”

b) The pamphlet highlights the fact that the nursing shortage is global—not just national (U.S.). To alleviate their own nursing shortage, should developed (higher income) countries continue to recruit nurses from developing (lower/middle income) countries? What about the health impact on the citizens because there are fewer nurses in the lower/middle income country? What about the nurse’s personal and professional opportunities and/or freedom to re-locate in a higher income country? What is your opinion? Provide a rationale with your opinion (at least 50 words).

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
