    Atheos replied to Sailingshoes's topic in General Nursing

    Atheos replied to yoginurse2b's topic in Immigration Advice

    Well, I don't know who wrote that as you didn't quote it but I can assure you that an American didn't write that. Look at the English used and the grammar. Hate to say it but what American uses...

  5. Is it more of an accomplishment to be a younger nurse?

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

    I wouldn't say getting it young is more of an accomplishment because many nontraditional students were busy accomplishing OTHER things at that age. Maybe I could have done nursing school at 18. I just...

  6. Difficulty Orienting with Younger Nurse?

    Atheos replied to Sailingshoes's topic in General Nursing

    You nailed it. But go farther. You can't just do it for 30 minutes at work. You have to do it at home as well. It's not just one software package. It's the whole shebang. I use Luddite to refer to the...

  7. Difficulty Orienting with Younger Nurse?

    Atheos replied to Sailingshoes's topic in General Nursing

    We have one similar. AOD. Makes absolutely no sense. Whoever coded it was a #$%#$ errr bad programmer and needed to be fired. That said, there is a definite gap between those that get it and those...

    Atheos replied to Sailingshoes's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately old software has that problem. It would not be that hard for them to make tutorial videos (on the computer) kinda like the video they had here for the new redesign. I'm will to bet...

  9. Difficulty Orienting with Younger Nurse?

    Atheos replied to Sailingshoes's topic in General Nursing

    I directly attribute the mouse and to some extents the gui for the lack of 'computer learning.' People don't even know the CTRL functions anymore. Even the Print Screen button on the keyboard is a...

  10. Difficulty Orienting with Younger Nurse?

    Atheos replied to Sailingshoes's topic in General Nursing

    No one thinks they are slow or stupid. However, the attitude that 'I don't need a computer' IS kind of daft and short sighted in this day and age. You WILL need a computer. Everyone, even rural...

  11. Difficulty Orienting with Younger Nurse?

    Atheos replied to Sailingshoes's topic in General Nursing

    You should thank all honest opinions. :) You need to realize that using a computer isn't a skill. That's the difference between us computer nerds and the rest of the population. There is no such...

  13. Do you wear your seatbelt

    Atheos replied to Iam46yearsold's topic in Emergency

    My boss' nephew passed away last week after a head on collision at 100ish mph. There is a limit to how well a seat belt protects you. Even at 40-50 mph in a head on or roll over the protection...

  14. Difficulty Orienting with Younger Nurse?

    Atheos replied to Sailingshoes's topic in General Nursing

    Atheos replied to Iam46yearsold's topic in Emergency

    I wear my seat belt always. Not because I have too. Only because my cousin has been a quad for almost 20 years

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

    Atheos replied to yoginurse2b's topic in Immigration Advice

    Why don't you quote an actual post where you allege unfairness and bigotry and stop with the innuendo. :) Seems to me that the moderators have consistently tried to address the concerns on this thread...

  18. Does nursing school break up relationships?

    Atheos replied to Lady01's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Oops misthanked. I think you are misreading the situations. No one is going to cheat solely because they are 'playing second fiddle' to school. If someone is cheating it is a symptom of a dying...

    Atheos replied to BarnBrat's topic in General Students

    Argh... So many people go for the EXPECTED questions. The point of an essay is to stand out from the crowd. A good essay can practically wipe out other factors holding up your application. I'd pick...

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

    Atheos replied to yoginurse2b's topic in Immigration Advice

    The other thing that gets tiring is being lumped in as an 'American.' Americans do this and that. I hope everyone realizes that MOST Americans don't look alike, ARE from other places, don't think...
