  1. Nursing student taking drugs

    Atheos replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    That's kind of silly. By just being a human being you present a potential for harm to patients. That's a weak argument. There is ALWAYS a potential from harm from everywhere. Smoking a joint...

    Atheos replied to medgirlRN's topic in Texas Nursing

  3. Should Doctors Have Guns?

    Atheos replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    So there were NO violent areas of America BEFORE this? Wrong. Violence has ALWAYS been a part of American culture. Most of what you list is mostly based in religion and quite frankly has NOTHING to do...

  4. Should Doctors Have Guns?

    Atheos replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    there was a study. it was called washington dc. had the absolute strictest gun laws and was the murder capital (most by guns) of the country for how long? enough said... and yes, firestarter, unless a...

  5. Advice - Creating a Study on Scheduling & Short Staff Challenges

    Atheos replied to Derric's topic in General Nursing

    That's a big generalization. Some facilities (like my non profit private pay facility) break laws of physics to maintain a certain level of staffing. Even with perks, bonuses, decent pay, all kinds of...

  6. This was a question on our test today. What do you think the answer is?

    Atheos replied to APRNReneeJ's topic in General Students

    I would say A is the answer that doesn't belong. A - Why would you try to challenge what is the reality for a patient. The patient is experiencing and feeling things that are real to them. There is no...

  7. Why coffee with every meal?

    Atheos replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nah... You don't have to 'prepare' beer!!! I never did get the whole coffee thing. Yeah, espresso tastes good but coffee? Ugh. I find tea more

  8. Improper glove use at your local eatery(s)

    Atheos replied to dawnsternlpn's topic in General Nursing

    People are so gross. They are literally disgusting. And if any of you try to defend them it is only because YOU are one of those gross people. Ugh..........

  9. To pass or To be the highest?

    Atheos replied to psySins's topic in General Students

    It kills me when people have to lower their standards to make others feel so good about themselves. I mean, I'm not gonna walk around saying 'Dang, this stupid 97! I should have gotten a 100,' but...

  10. Improper glove use at your local eatery(s)

    Atheos replied to dawnsternlpn's topic in General Nursing

    People have been dying of nasty, yet totally preventable, diseases since the beginning of time as

  11. Blowing the whistle on your facility

    Atheos replied to Lovely_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Before we jump to conclusions how about giving us numbers. I remember days of having 14-16 patients. Our CNAs have 7-8 (no trachs, no vents, few caths) and complain about how unsafe it is and how...

  12. LTC Benefits Package

    Atheos replied to RespiratoryGirl011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Depends on the facility. Some make you bind you to work for x amount of dollars. My facility does not obligate you at all. However, you have to maintain a certain grade average B to keep the money or...

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

    Atheos replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Not true. I know several Saudi Nurses and in Riyahd I met some Saudi Nurses. The ones I met were ALL male as there was no 'chaperon' around for me to meet the female nurses. They were also nice, not...

  14. To pass or To be the highest?

    Atheos replied to psySins's topic in General Students

    While this is somewhat true it does not change anything really. Some people will always be average and some will always excel. Those that excel tend to always excel. A, see I didn't address this...

  15. To pass or To be the highest?

    Atheos replied to psySins's topic in General Students

    Actually... Satisfactory IS average. You see... There is this thing called the 'Bell Curve.' And most people lie somewhere near the middle of it. While they may not be right smack dab on the average...

  16. The Circumcision Discussion

    Atheos replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am a man... I was abused by being

  17. To pass or To be the highest?

    Atheos replied to psySins's topic in General Students

    Let's talk about arrogance and people skills. As one that is usually accused of 'arrogance,' let me define what arrogance is and what it is based on. arrogance - overbearing pride evidenced by a...

  18. The Circumcision Discussion

    Atheos replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ahh but who are you to decide if you mutilated him or not? How about letting your son grow up into an adult and then ask HIM how he feels about people cutting parts off of him. Yes, it is mutilation,...

  19. It's time.....let's talk support hose, shall we?

    Atheos replied to queenjean's topic in General Nursing

    I wear knee highs to work. It stops my feet from hurting or swelling and at the end of the day my feet still feel good. Hey! Whatever

  20. Intimidation in the workplace

    Atheos replied to MelodyRNurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This is a simple problem. When the labor runs wild it is because management is not doing their jobs. ACtually I got that from the military (it was privates and sergeants but whatever). People behave...

  21. weekend double job

    Atheos replied to nunurse08's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    No one has mentioned this but I have noticed many nursing homes trying to get away from the 16 hour double. Many no find enough Part Timers and such to avoid long shifts. Apparently there is an...

  22. When money is low...

    Atheos replied to dipsett08's topic in General Nursing

    There was a time when women showing their ankles or faces was considered obscene. OH WAIT!!! That's Iran

  23. PDA?

    Atheos replied to Equinox_93's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Never seen the need for a PDA as an aide. We have very few things we need to track (I/Os, v/s's, Meal Intake) plus anything you need to write down and remember really shouldn't be leaving the facility...

  24. When money is low...

    Atheos replied to dipsett08's topic in General Nursing

    At the Inauguration I met on of my mother's friends. 35 years old Kindergarten teacher in a small Montessori school. Married for nine years, two children. Husband highly successful. She is very...

  25. Descrimination: A full hot meal or soup and a sandwich

    Atheos replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    I'm STILL not understanding the problem. The OP answered their own question. The employer is still in compliance with the contract. "The parties hereto agree that in every instance the employee shall...
