    Atheos replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    If they are deaf they can right or you can get an interpreter. If they speak ANY other language you can get an interpreter. If YOU can't speak passable, understandable English then you are responsible...

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

    Atheos replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    If the patient is only used to their regional accent and you are the nurse it IS your problem. The responsibility to be understood rests on the health care provider. Not the

    Atheos replied to kermitlady's topic in General Nursing

    I've had a tongue ring. I have 4 tattoos. I've had an IV and shots. In EVERY single one I've been pale, clammy, scared, stop breathing, shake and on occasion have passed out. The difference is that...

    Atheos replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    It's cheating. What constitutes cheating has been standardized in most schools. If a teacher tells you they want a paper it is implied that the paper be new. Having been through high school you should...

    Atheos replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

  8. Passing Some Students Who Failed!!!!!!

    Atheos replied to GlennatheIncredible's topic in General Students

    Do you know for a fact that this happen or did you just 'hear' it from other students. I'd be careful doing ANYTHING based solely off of gossip. It's a bad habit to be in. Life has a tendency to be...

    Atheos replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    The benefits of owning that car are awesome. Definately worth owning. Plus, cars like these don't depreciate much. Take care of it and in 20 years it will STILL be worth a

    Error. Sorry

  14. SCHIZOPHRENIC question

    Atheos replied to caringkay RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am only guessing but I would assume the answer would be #2 'I can read the mind of everyone here.' The obvious choice of hearing voices really doesn't mean much. The voices could say anything. They...

  17. What is my instructor talking about???

    Atheos replied to cupid09's topic in General Students

    She sounds like she wants you to grasp the main idea or gist of the information. What she is telling you is that you are not going to remember EVERYTHING. Don't try to remember every single bit of...

    Atheos replied to StephMatousek's topic in General Students

    ACTUALLY... I did... I also had the desire to overeat, drink alcohol and generally abuse drugs. In fact... To escape the alcoholism and drug abuse that has touched almost EVERYONE in my family I had...

  19. I was denied a maternity leave.

    Atheos replied to StephMatousek's topic in General Students

    So are you saying that society should have to be responsible for a person's choice to have a child??? Getting married is ALSO a choice. No one is saying you can't or shouldn't do anything. I only...

    Atheos replied to elliejayRN's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    It all depends on your workplace. MY boss is fully aware of what goes on with me. I was considered ADHD my whole life but in the last 2 years had multiple practitioners show me that it was indeed...

  21. Police use excessive force, ER docs say- What do ER nurses think

    Atheos replied to rjflyn's topic in Emergency

    This thread has new meaning this year. While people are discussing whether cops do or don't use excessive force and whether they are or aren't bothered by it we get to see it's consequences. I'm...

  22. Can an employer penalize you for calling-in due to illness?

    Atheos replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in General Nursing

    NO, this is simply NOT true. I can tell you as a staffing coordinator that has a PRN/PT list that's miles long it is simply not true. Sure, if you have to be out for a scheduled amount of time it's...

  23. I was denied a maternity leave.

    Atheos replied to StephMatousek's topic in General Students

    The stork doesn't just come around and drop babies off. This isn't a women's lib issue. All the other arguments are merely red herrings and are irrelevant to the issue at hand. Pregnancy, with the...

  24. I was denied a maternity leave.

    Atheos replied to StephMatousek's topic in General Students

    True. The school could probably cut her some slack. Then, of course, if they don't do it for others they WILL be liable for discriminatory behavior and will have to let others take leaves as well....

  25. I was denied a maternity leave.

    Atheos replied to StephMatousek's topic in General Students
