  1. New study on unions and wages

    Atheos replied to Chico David's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    1. My name says RN2B -> RN Too Be 2. There are no union facilities here in my area. 3. I work at a nonprofit, private pay military based continuing care center. Nonprofit and military based. Prior...

  2. "Nursing students with C's are still nurses".. ?

    Atheos replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    Anyone can be average. That's what it means. An average person can be a good nurse. Average is not bad. They can be a good enough. Some of us just aren't happy with good enough. Satisfactory doesn't...

  3. New study on unions and wages

    Atheos replied to Chico David's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I NEVER said I was a nurse. I also must wonder why you have to move to insulting me... Makes one wonder... When one resorts to personal attacks it is the clearest sign they've got no substance in...

  4. New study on unions and wages

    Atheos replied to Chico David's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    No ones speaking of JUST the CNA. We are talking of unions. All of them at large. You get those benefits BECAUSE of unions. Claiming otherwise is either a lie or horribly misinformed. Well you...

  5. New study on unions and wages

    Atheos replied to Chico David's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Quit making illogical leaps that make no sense. 3-5 unions under investigation. Hundreds of unions in good standing. You tell

  6. New study on unions and wages

    Atheos replied to Chico David's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    It's not the unions responsibility to protect the industry. Only the workers... You can't equate corrupt people to corrupt unions. Tht's like saying all religion is bunk because some priests are...

  7. New study on unions and wages

    Atheos replied to Chico David's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    The fact that you CAN be a nurse is most likely due to the union. What? You don't have to take care of 30 patients 6 days a week for 16 hour shifts? Yup... Thank the union... Oh? You got to take a...

  8. New study on unions and wages

    Atheos replied to Chico David's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    That's a ludicrous assumption. The IBEW is still working because their work is superior to the nonunion shops. Superior work commands superior pay. If their work was inferior no one would use them...

  9. "Nursing students with C's are still nurses".. ?

    Atheos replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    You just made our point... Better is superior to nicer. In a pinch you have proven that you prefer the 'best' surgeon over the 'nicest'

  10. Topic of the Day: GO AWAY FOREIGN NURSES!

    Atheos replied to yoginurse2b's topic in Immigration Advice

    Ahh, well the Admin already said 'There have been no TOS' violations... They also said this IS an American website. So what's the problem??? Why is everyone purposefully contradicting the Admins???...

  11. Gee, thanks, Mom!

    Atheos replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    It may be a little harsh but the unhealthiness only goes away completely if you drop them. Not necessarily forever but long enough for them to realize that you don't need them or their behavior. Not...

  12. New study on unions and wages

    Atheos replied to Chico David's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    That's funny because SOME unions, take the IBEW, outperform non union business so badly that the non union electric firms are hurting around here. Meanwhile the union electricians are still working....

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

    Atheos replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    I meant that those that believe in god almost always tend to. You might not go to church but I bet you still believe in God. If you are pushed to the limit you will ask for God's help. Those of us...

  14. Question: Is there a thread that ONLY belongs to nurses?

    Atheos replied to sweetsounds's topic in Emergency

    All RNs are nurses. All nurses aren't RNs. By Allnurses including a CNA forum they have already made their position clear. All those involved with nursing are

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

    Atheos replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    I just had to jump on this. I have seen quite few studies conducted showing that people don't tend to stray from their beliefs. This means that those that tend to become religious were already...

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

    The SIN is a Canada thing. The SSN is American. Other than that they have the same

    Atheos replied to sweetsounds's topic in Emergency

  19. Pre-Requisite Challenging Classes

    Atheos replied to Bo Shoi Ming's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Had no trouble with A/P or Micro. They weren't 'easy' per se but no problems. Pharmacology is just massive amounts of memorization. It was ridiculous... So Pharm got #1, Micro #4 and Anatomy and...

  20. Question: Is there a thread that ONLY belongs to nurses?

    Atheos replied to sweetsounds's topic in Emergency

    it wasn't me that said it.... that said, allnurses, while a site where nurses help nurses is after all a business. i imagine locking out all but nurses would hit the bottom line and that's never...

  21. bath time and alzheimer's

    Atheos replied to kossaf's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Towel baths are the best thing since white bread. Alzheimer's patients tend to NOT like

  22. Question: Is there a thread that ONLY belongs to nurses?

    Atheos replied to sweetsounds's topic in Emergency

    We went from a Nurse's only forum suggestion to a RN forum suggestion. What's next? Only RN's that work at a certain hospital? You guys can make a specialized site or use a list serv or make an...

  23. showers

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

    Oops! I am also speaking of showers twice weekly. Once a week is gross. Well really in ym view twice a week is gross as well BUT we have to take into consideration their skin AND their customs. Which...

  24. showers

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

    9+ years of hearing it in different facilities and different states leads me to believe that there is something to it. Excess washing DOES dry out skin and it is contraindicated in many skin...

  25. Go away...is not generally true!

    Atheos replied to zuzi's topic in International Nursing

    Untrue... There is a long and historic trend for non Americans to emigrate and live in insular communities. It's a fact of life here in America. While communities are integrating now it is a new...
