  1. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    You're confusing gnosticism (knowledge) with theism (belief) though! I lack belief in any current gods proposed (atheism), due to my lack of knowledge (agnosticism), [edit] or due to the logical and...

  2. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    The typical answer to 'Why am I here?' is 'To humor the wife'. Okay, I joke. It was fun getting to sing Beatles and other hippiesque songs instead of hymns and they actually had a decent afternoon...

  3. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Heh. I used to be an Administrator on (at one time) the largest atheist discussion board on the internet and what you two are arguing was at least a weekly multi-page event. All the labels give me a...

  4. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Well their services are a trip, and I often work Sundays, so do the math. However, I totally get why organized religion is appealing for many people, and having a stable community you can rely on is...

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I have a blog, too. I bet you'll never guess the url. :) I posted it once before without reading the Terms of Service and I soon after removed it. That said, I read your blog. Thank you for wanting...

  6. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Well, the best I've seen has been the Unitarian Universalist church. A good 1/3+ of their members are non-religious, but they provide the necessary societal interactions that make up most of the...

  7. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    They are distinct concepts. Atheism merely says one is "without theism" (literally). It's the same as saying I'm an a-leprechaunist or an a-unicornist- most people are a-leprechaunists and...

  8. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Their numbers are quite few and their resources even less, and their mission/vission extremely narrow in scope, typically, to freedom of/from religion subjects. My point is that starting an...

  9. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I think the fact that all the religious organizations you listed above are just that: organizations. Atheism isn't exactly an organized religion. It's like asking why Just for Men doesn't make a...

  10. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    The implication, in context, is that by not believing in any particular flavor of supernatural diety, the atheist effectively stands for

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    This is one of the most insulting things I've ever

  12. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. And people wonder where the original poster is coming from. I considered responding with the same-but-altered proselytism regarding the flying spaghetti monster, but it would have likely been...

  13. TPA in pulmonary embolism

    hypocaffeinemia replied to kimber3ks's topic in Emergency

    We just became certified as a primary stroke center last year, and I've seen it given to about five or six acute ischemic patients who recovered within 24 hours, no residual effects. Our tPA screening...

  14. Is a NP also a " Physician?"

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The patient was misinformed or speaking metaphorically. The patient should have said "my NP is my healthcare

  16. Education requirement for nurse practitioner

  17. confused about heparin, lovenox, coumadin etc.

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Jnsaxton's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I recommend pulling out your A&P book and re-reading the chapter on coagulation dealing with the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways in order to gain a deeper understanding of how each of the various...

  18. Education requirement for nurse practitioner

    hypocaffeinemia replied to js408's topic in General Nursing

    You realize, don't you, that nurses have been providing anesthesia since the beginning of the modern era of medicine, right? It isn't like this is some non-traditional role encroachment by nurses....

  19. Please Check My Med Calc!!!!!

    hypocaffeinemia replied to LuvScrubs2's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It's impossible to even guess if you're even close to the ballpark without a concentration. 24 mg in how much NS? If the total fluid volume is supposed to be 96 mL, then your answer would be

  20. Please Check My Med Calc!!!!!

    hypocaffeinemia replied to LuvScrubs2's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is an oddly worded problem: You aren't given an actual concentration from pharmacy? 24 mg in 96 mL/hr isn't a concentration-- there's no way to determine the amount of mg per mL from that. Is...

  21. May 2009 Graduates!!! Do you have a job yet?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to soon2bRN516's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm fortunate that the hospital I've been at for over four years as a monitor tech is creating an ICU internship *just* for me. It isn't 100% official yet, but the job proposal has been submitted by...

  22. Which hospitals claim to be on a hiring freeze?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to BrittRN2b's topic in Texas Nursing

    There are many hospitals in the Houston area that may not be on a hiring freeze, but are not looking to hire new grads. Outside the med center, many of the suburban facilities aren't offering...

  23. Asystole during transport of a patient??

    hypocaffeinemia replied to futgirl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I second the recommendation to take ACLS. For what it's worth, epinephrine or vasopressin is the first line drug for PEA/asystole, then

  24. Still No Job offers

    hypocaffeinemia replied to dec2008houRNgrad's topic in General Nursing

    It's not a good situation for new grads in our area. I graduate next month and the only classmates that have found jobs are the ones working for hospitals already either as an LVN or as a

  25. Mispronouncing a word makes you less of a nurse

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Unique87's topic in General Nursing

    "SOHNtimeter" comes from the French pronunciation. Cent in French is pronounced
