  1. How often do RNs clean up poop? (thinking about majoring in nursing)

    Atheos replied to gwchem's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing Staff and Poop have a special relationship. Better get used to that idea. Some days you might spend more time with poop than your loved

  2. Becoming an RN just for the paycheck

    Atheos replied to Nellie Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    No doubt... Sometimes I have a hard time ignoring the nonsense as well. I have about as much chance ignoring the bait as a hungry

  3. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    Atheos replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say that any given time there is a 85% chance Leslie is laughing at one of us.

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

    Atheos replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    absolutely right. however, seeing as this is a 'major' concern, we can infer that this is a good place. if it were a bad place then i seriously doubt this concern would even be on their radar. this...

  5. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    Atheos replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Heh, I thought like you. It was kind of embarrassing as I was technically a 'linguist' in the Army. My only excuse is that I am way more versed in my other languages than English. I never actually...

  6. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    Atheos replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    We actually had a thread on this. It is proper and acceptable to use AN on soft consonants. I'm an RN would be acceptable. There are several soft consonants like H and R. (RN - are enn as opposed to...

  8. Becoming an RN just for the paycheck

    Atheos replied to Nellie Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    The threads you speak of don't correlate anything. They are just filled with anecdotal evidence which is worth NADA. But this isn't a 'Why are C students jealous of the rest of us' thread so let's...

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

    Like Thomas Edison said... 'I haven't failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that don't

  10. Characteristics of Nurses

    Atheos replied to golfergirl17's topic in General Nursing

    I would like to call BUNK... I'd rather hold my pee for 6-8 hours than have to pee on myself because you can't leave your 'firing position' for 2 days. I don't know if anyone remembers that old US...

  11. Becoming an RN just for the paycheck

    Atheos replied to Nellie Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I became a CNA SOLELY because I didn't know what else to do. I came right out of the military and the idea of a desk job as a linguist vexed me. No way was I teaching, sitting in an office, going...

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

    Atheos replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    Well with the recap of events this entire argument is kind of bunk. LEt me lay out why. 1. The agreement states that ALL employees have the opportunity to buy lunch. This has not changed in the least....

    P A I T I E N C E.... If you don't have it now you'll develop it soon enough.

  14. Death of a pt

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

    Indeed. I feel that when you 'fix them up' for the last time, especially when it's a resident you've bonded with it is a chance to say your last goodbye. It really makes you feel good to be able to...

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

    Atheos replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in General Nursing

    That's disgusting. If anyone, even my not yet existing child. were to puke in my hair I'd answer them with projectile vomit to their

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

    Atheos replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in General Nursing

    I think we all agree that it is ridiculous. I'd never work for a company that would do this. A good employer will work with you. Make compromises or changes to suit you and them. The question though...

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

    Atheos replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in General Nursing

    Currently in most states (there are a few exceptions) there is no law gaurunteeing Sick Time. Many court cases have declared that Sick time is purely voluntary on the part of the employer and offering...

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

    Atheos replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it is legal. Technically, this is legal. Now, if they give you 'sick hours' you should be able to take them without punishment. Other than that they can punish you for missing work. Employees...

  22. Atheists? How do you deal with religious people?

    Atheos replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    Would that be my atheist nature or my black nature or my male nature or my American nature? Which bigotry am I being subjected to here??? Hmmm. Isn't it about time to close this thread? The OP's...

  23. Atheists? How do you deal with religious people?

    Atheos replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    Like I said, obviously not. However, I do find it funny that you refuse to discuss the bible with an atheist. Especially seeing how that atheist most likely has studied the aforementioned book, along...
