  1. Should Doctors Have Guns?

    Atheos replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

  2. Should Doctors Have Guns?

    Atheos replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    Discharges of electricity CAN start fires at gas stations. It, however, is NOT igniting gasoline. Gasoline in and of itself does not explode. Gasoline vapors do. This phenomenon is VERY rare though...

  3. Should Doctors Have Guns?

    Atheos replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    Nah, you gotta know AND understand your law. Brandishing implies pulling out your gun and waving or pointing it at someone. Merely letting someone know you have one is not a crime. It's as easy as...

  4. Mexican health care/travel dangers

    Atheos replied to massrn116's topic in General Nursing

    Much of Mexico is nice. You just have to be careful where you go. Aculpulco, Cancun, Mazatlan? Please... Tourist traps attract cons like fleas. Also, the healthcare isn't that expensive. Healthcare...

  5. Should Doctors Have Guns?

    Atheos replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    I carry my gun like I carry my cell phone. EVERYWHERE. It's not an ego issue or because I hangout with a sleazy crowd. It's because there are dangerous people out there and I feel just a bit safer...

    Atheos replied to inland18mempire's topic in General Nursing

  11. Ordering from Allheart.com

    Atheos replied to whippoorwill's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    UGH!!! Sorry all you Midwesterners but PLEASE use anymore properly. It is supposed to be used in negative statements. 'We don't live there anymore.' 'I don't go to work anymore.' It is NOT supposed to...

    Atheos replied to BEDPAN76's topic in General Nursing

    Even though I'm in the DC area there is a guy from Austin that started a restaurant called the Capital Q BBQ (not sure about TOS but googling it makes it come up right away ) here. IT is AWESOME. I...

  16. The whole truth and nothing but the truth..

    Atheos replied to NursingStudent!'s topic in General Nursing

    One time a patient kept complaining about 'tingling' on her leg. So I removed the blankets and a tarantula (YES I said TARANTULA) jumped out at me. My immediate response was to scream like a girl in a...

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

  20. Should a nursing student be given a 2nd chance if they have a positive drug screen

    Atheos replied to PEBBLES1's topic in General Students

    Wrong... Almost every state now has laws on the books allowing employers to share this kind of information with other employers. Therefore, they can't say 'Employee X was terminated for failing his...

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

    Atheos replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    This is ok. If Saudi Arabia doesn't expect it's nurses to speak Arabic that is their choice. However, in America the expectation IS that they speak English in an understandable fashion. The HR...

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

    Atheos replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Why would you want to live in the Middle East and NOT learn Arabic. Why would the employer hire someone that doesn't require Arabic. That is the key difference. In America, the BON AND the employers...

  23. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    Atheos replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    My pet peeve is when doctors/nurses/families/administration expects you to do this with all 16 of your patients without leaving them before breakfast at 7 am. When your shift starts at 6am and night...

    Atheos replied to PEBBLES1's topic in General Students

    Not quite... We all deserve a first chance. Second chances are reserved for luck, a nice judge, any available diety and anyone that happens to get judged by a nice person. No one deserves it. That...
