  1. who's license do med techs work under?

    Atheos replied to Jewl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Assisted Livings are meant to be a 'home' environment. At home nurses DON'T give your meds. In fact, if you need so much monitoring that you need a bp before a med or this or that then the proper...

  2. One of these questions and answers make no sense whatsoever

    Atheos replied to Luv2care0907's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    A was definitely the right answer. I am not sure how it can even be considered the best of several answers. In the throes of grief other people's feelings really just don't matter very much and anyone...

  3. Rules for the ER (long)

    Atheos replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

    Ugh, I got sent to he ER yesterday for an allergic reaction. I kept thinking about this thread and it made me feel badly. ROFL. Some lady was there having an MI and the person (nurse) that came with...

  4. The Doctor said WHAT?

    Atheos replied to nurz2be's topic in General Nursing

    you mean 'at-will' employment state. right to work refers to unions and not having to join

  5. who's license do med techs work under?

    Atheos replied to Jewl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    She's NOT making judgments. She's following a scale that is most likely in the MAR. If bp = X then this or if this then Y or if this call Doctor. Med Techs do NOT get to make independent decisions....

  6. The Circumcision Discussion

    Atheos replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    in all fairness steph, just because something is part of a religious belief (generally speaking) doesn't mean it isn't ridiculous. i'm not saying anyone's religious belief on circumcision is...

  7. Discussing religion in the workplace

    Atheos replied to missrose's topic in General Nursing

    They can ask these questions. They just can't use your answer or lack of an answer against

  8. Coverd by doctor order beetwen nurse judgement and and I don't care I am coverd

    Atheos replied to zuzi's topic in General Nursing

    No need to be rude. Zuzi made herself PERFECTLY clear. Communication isn't about spelling. It's about being receptive eh... Anyone with a semi decent command of the English language can tell what she...

  9. Carilion

    Atheos replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in Virginia Nursing

    If you are talking Roanoke, try Luigi's. It's on 221 (Brambleton). Awesome Italian food and I am an Italian food snob. It makes Olive Garden look like that hot dog guy on the corner Not too expensive...

  10. Nursing Home ABUSE...TOWARDS STAFF!

    Atheos replied to NsgRx27's topic in General Nursing

    I can't speak to the nurse ratio other than that sounds pretty high. As for the CNAs 8-10 is pretty decent. Heck, I remember having to care for 16-18 back in the day

  11. Not allowed to tape nursing lectures

    Atheos replied to Amy'sGrandbaby's topic in General Students

    Why???

  12. Not allowed to tape nursing lectures

    Atheos replied to Amy'sGrandbaby's topic in General Students

    You guys still don't understand US law. IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO VIOLATE COPYRIGHT BY COPYING/RECORDING/DOWNLOADING! Don't believe me??? Fine, example -> Downloading music, copying movies, recording...

  13. Sooo tired of patients complaining about foreign nurses' accents....

    Atheos replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Zuzi! You always have a wonderful attitude and insight into life. Can you lend us some of that

  14. Gay Nurses... help!

    Atheos replied to quakerkid's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It IS ok. Who are you to say that someone's feelings aren't legitimate. In any case, not ALL of us freak out. And let's be realistic, in some places it's still taboo and some times people are a tad...

  15. When money is low...

    Atheos replied to dipsett08's topic in General Nursing

    Just because you are mistreated doesn't mean you lose dignity. As I've said in the past... Dignity can't be taken away, only given away. The same goes with EVERY other 'quality' we may or may not...

  16. Death of a pt

    Atheos replied to LVN2010M's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If someone is dying and it's not going to be that long (you gotta eyeball it but usually you can tell) then I would say the priority IS to sit with them (assuming no one is there already like family...

  17. When money is low...

    Atheos replied to dipsett08's topic in General Nursing

    Only approximately half (yes I checked due to another thread ) of all states half clauses related to morality, moral turpitude or similar language. Almost all of them refer to morality in the context...

  18. CNA hourly pay rate?

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

    Indeed, on my first job pre-Certification test I made 7.50 which went to 8 after the test. A year later it went to 10. Next couple of homes (PT, PRN) positions varied between 10 and 15. Currently...

  19. Lifestyle of a CNA

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

    Used 2005 Neon. 27000 miles. It's a lot better than the tank I WAS driving ROFL. The felxibility is probably the best perk. I am in RN school. There are mostly only private LPN schools and the price...

  20. Foreign nurses are taking/replacing nurses here in the USA?

    Atheos replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    That's a tired argument. MANY professions require higher levels of education for entry into the field. MANY of them are paid pittances. The only real issue is the fact that a fractured workforce never...

  21. Should Doctors Have Guns?

    Atheos replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    Perfect gun for Doctors/Nurse + excellent for women to carry on them. Powerful enough to stop an attacker. Small enough to make carrying easier and disarming harder. Kahr 9mm 3 inches of infinitely...

  22. Lifestyle of a CNA

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

    You can live quite comfortable as a CNA while going to school. I am single/no kids. Rent a basement, 2 rooms for 400/month. New car (like 1 week old). Have food cooked and delivered (yes, I am lazy)...

  23. Should Doctors Have Guns?

    Atheos replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    .... I'll just remain quiet on this one lawyer, err nurse... Wrong, most police departments require AAs and some require Bachelor's. Of course, by your logic I can just assume nurses don't know...

  24. Should Doctors Have Guns?

    Atheos replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    I though you weren't a lawyer. We can argue all you like. I HAVE shown it before. I HAVE called the police after the 'threat' was over. I HAVE NOT been arrested. Ever? 2 states... No one said anything...

  25. Should Doctors Have Guns?

    Atheos replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    wow! were you the guy i showed it too? if not than how can you disagree? lol we haven't actually met before but you'll get to know me soon enough. rofl. point - to hold in the direction of someone...
