    Atheos replied to rhon91's topic in General Nursing

    Wasn't there a paramedic ON SCENE though. Doesn't the ski resort emplyoe a Ski Paramedic. In some places those paramedics hold the same authority as the county paramedics. I'm just thinking I read...

  2. Just curious

    Atheos replied to kb514's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This depends on the state. Some only allow you 120 or 90 days. Where I am many facilities won't even hire you until you've passed the state exam. On a side note, there is NO WAY I would want to be a...

  3. Brain farts

  4. If you barely pass A&P, should you continue with nursing?

    Atheos replied to nobhill's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. Disturbed Energy Field

    Atheos replied to avatar78's topic in General Students

    What I mean is who cares if prayer isn't listed as a valid treatment in some manual and accepted by some professional body. 99% of the members of that professional body believe in it. Despite the lack...

  8. Disturbed Energy Field

    Atheos replied to avatar78's topic in General Students

    Atheos replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Indeed... Only thing she can really do is ask the professor not to give her hints or talk to her. I liked the suggestion one poster had. Earplugs. I'm gonna try that next

    Atheos replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

  11. background check/dug screening

    Atheos replied to Zina345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well HeartOfGold... In my multiple years of dealing with addicts, smokers, potheads and what not, I can tell you. Normal people just note the drug test, users obsess over it. What can I

  12. Instructor caused me to get an answer wrong on my exam, and I'm furious !

    Atheos replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I like how people get mad because other people distract you. Other CAN'T distract you. Only you can allow yourself to be distracted.

  13. Is it dangerous for RNs/nursing students to give advice to people about their health

    Atheos replied to lovehospital's topic in General Nursing

  17. background check/dug screening

    Atheos replied to Zina345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Only users question the drug tests. It isn't a valid question because WHO goes straight to hair tests? They are hella expensive. Almost everyone does urine, then blood. Has anyone here even ever been...

  18. Diapers, good or bad?

    Atheos replied to overwurkd's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    Diapers, like the Tena ones, are far superior to chux and pads in that they turn into gel when wet with urine. They also aren't made with plastic anymore so they aren't holding in heat. Lying on a pad...
