I have to do a final paper for my Participation in Government class.

What we have to do is take something we do here in the U.S and find out how a different coutry does the same thing & compare & contrast them.

When I asked my teacher what I should do he asked what I was going to college for and I told him nursing, so he told me to do something along those lines.

Ive been doin research and just cant find anything really good to use and my paper is due on the 10th.

Please help if you have any ideas.


Thank you<3

First thing that popped into my head...we recently had a group of Iraqi nurses spend a few months at our hospital in every conceivable area to "see how a health system should be run".  Nurses are looked down upon greatly there and the healthcare is described as "pre-Nightengale" (sp?).  Many nurses work in the hospital all day and then go to work at night, typically doing something entirely different just to make enough money to survive.  Other tidbits...you're lucky if the hospital has running water; supplies like suction catheters, etc. are not washed and are reused on multiple patients.  Food for thought.

That sounds like a wonderful idea. and It actually sounds really intereting too, especailly seeing how the war is going on over there and everything. Just one more question, do you know how I would search for this information? Like would I type in health systems of Iraq or what?


Thanks so much!

They were brought here through a partnership with Oklahoma University.  I can't remember the ladies names, but can probably find out for you.  Maybe that would be a place to start?
