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

    Atheos replied to zuzi's topic in International Nursing

    Funny, where was this outrage on the thread about all the rude things Americans do??? In fact, point out one 'disparaging' remark. dis-par-age 1. To speak of in a slighting or disrespectful way;...

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

    Atheos replied to yoginurse2b's topic in Immigration Advice

    You are right. There is a funny thing about manners though. Being rude is bad manners, insulting people is bad manners. POINTING OUT bad manners is bad manners as well. See, it is quite funny....

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

    Atheos replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    C's should denote average. If EVERYONE is getting C's then the class is not being taught properly. An A should be hard enough that only the students that shine should get them. If the majority of the...

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

    Atheos replied to zuzi's topic in International Nursing

    I have been to Lebanon. While I was there I dressed modestly liek the rst of the men. I even bought local clothing.I met quite a few people and almost all of them said they were surprised at my move...

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

    Atheos replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    It's always innapropriate to proselytize but that's a different

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

    Atheos replied to zuzi's topic in International Nursing

    Ahh but they cannot expect Americans to know that. While both cultures should give a little those looking to move to another country (any country) need to more giving. To do anything else as a guest...

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

    Atheos replied to zuzi's topic in International Nursing

    Oops, I didn't see the post before mine before I posted the thread. I haven't seen anything critical in this thread though. I am merely pointing out behaviors that, ALSO happened to be pointed out in...

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

    Atheos replied to zuzi's topic in International Nursing

    As to African aides and nurses, they have been teaching everyon Creo. A sort of broken English they use that is easy to pick up heh. Most if not all BONs require nurses to have a certain proficiency...

  9. Paranoid Schizophrenia

    Atheos replied to sleepybunny005's topic in Psychiatric

    While a good movie, A Beautiful Mind was highly innacurate on his life and his

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

    Atheos replied to zuzi's topic in International Nursing

    That's what is strange though. I have had many 'bad' experiences with fellow Americans. It doesn't translate to other people though because they are inherently different. Take my African friends. They...

  11. showers

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

    Nothing other than my multiple 'inservice' papers. I am sure if you look hard enough or if someone here has a subscription to some of those article warehouses you can see some. I did find some but...

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

    Atheos replied to zuzi's topic in International Nursing

    Indeed, it takes trust. However, if they never make the effort and scare me away then nothing changes. Of course, if I never make the effort and scare them away we have the same results. Even though I...

  13. You cant be fashionable for nursing.

    Atheos replied to lovehospital's topic in General Nursing

    i think she was referring to the image the white scrubs presents to her. no need for snarkiness. i have heard some patients actually assume the only people that were nurses where the ones in

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

    Atheos replied to zuzi's topic in International Nursing

    I think her point was that foreigners ARE welcome but are not always the most welcoming people. Quite often they keep themselves separate. I consistently have to remind coworkers that if we are in a...

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

    Atheos replied to rjflyn's topic in Emergency

    Cops are trained to deal with crazy people, people on PCP, vile people and everyone else necessary. I do think MANY cops go to far but I don't think doctors should be the ones making the decision....

  16. President's List winners :-)

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

    4.0 - 15 Credit Hours + Full Time Day Shift Job + Allnurses

  17. Australia to USA

    Atheos replied to casserooni's topic in International Nursing

    Oh the silly rules they make everyone jump through to get here. I think they should allow citizen swaps. Let me have your Australian Citizenship and I'll move there and you can have my American...

  18. You cant be fashionable for nursing.

    Atheos replied to lovehospital's topic in General Nursing

    ROFL, sorry to say but at 18 I did more than most people have done by 40. Age ain't nothing but a number and to clearly call EITHER adulthood is seriously wrong. I may have been cocky (OK MORE cocky...

  19. I Saved a Life!

    Atheos replied to Neveranurseagain's topic in General Nursing

    You gave that man the best Christmas present he could ever receive. His son's life. :) Good

  20. Paranoid Schizophrenia

    Atheos replied to sleepybunny005's topic in Psychiatric

    Denying her delusions or challenging them will most likely not end well. Sue had it right with acknowledging but not validating. When you are in the midst of a delusion it is as real as your normal...

  21. showers

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

    Showering everyday can cause extreme dryness in the skin of elderly people leading to breakdown, skin tears and general discomfort. That why the typical resident gets 2 showers a week. 1 shower a...

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

    Atheos replied to yoginurse2b's topic in Immigration Advice

    Unfortunately some people are like that. However, if your plan IS to move to America I say you had better get used to it. We have this thing called freedom of speech and some people use that freedom...

  23. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Atheos replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    What I am saying is that in industries that are traditionally considered professions, the Bachelor's is not the entry point. Also, while most professions have stated minimum entry points most have...

  24. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Atheos replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    If you want to get technical the Bachelor's is NOT professional level. In EVERY other industry Bachelor's is entry level. Post Bacchelaurate (Masters, PH.D, JD, MD, etc) is usually required. So if you...

  25. Got in to an RN Program...now the Dilemmas

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

    Well, as a student you can notify your loan holders and defer the loans until you are back out of
