  1. All you A students

    Atheos replied to BeachPrincess's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think if you are maintaining all B's you are already using a good system. I'd say just bump it up a notch... More time, more repetition. Also, break your studying into percentages. The classes you...

  2. Alternative to spanking

    Atheos replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    That's not true understanding. A Nurse with SANE training doesn't REALLY understand what it's like to be raped. An oncologist doesn't really understand what it's like to have cancer. A shrink doesn't...

  4. Alternative to spanking

    Atheos replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry about any hostility. It does tend to slip out. It only comes out when exchanging ideas and debating. It never comes out in any other activity. It's kinda strange. I DON'T want to hurt...

  5. Is nursing less stressful for people with no kids and no life to begin with?

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

    Maybe it's just me but how does being the only guy surrounded by women that like you get stressful? What's marriage got to do with it??? It's not YOUR marriage. ROFL Heh J/K :chuckle Paranoia over...

  6. How do I dump my study partner/friend ?

    Atheos replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I think this is a very good idea. The others will squash any undesirable behavior or make her so uncomfortable she leaves. This could allow you to drift apart 'slowly' so it doesn't seem to be you...

  7. Alternative to spanking

    Atheos replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, my dad tried something similar when I was 13. He bought two packs of Camels and was going to make me smoke until I got sick. Calm down, he didn't know it was dangerous. Not abuse, just...

    The Army itself didn't change me. It's the things I experienced in the Army that started the

  9. Is nursing less stressful for people with no kids and no life to begin with?

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

    On this I agree 100%... Life is SO much easier when you have ultimate freedom and minimal responsibilities. Yeah, um....... You do realize there are OTHER issues besides families and children that...

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

    Atheos replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    I freely admit that my view of what is a good nurse is probably way off. The need to imagine they are the valedictorian is most likely my brain wanting a good nurse. Most situations I have been in...

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

    Atheos replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    That's what's so scary. Being in a situation where my smarts can't help me. What the heck are you supposed to do. Ugh. I just hope being a CNA for so long helps a little. I imagine I'm not gonna get...

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

    Atheos replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    I have no doubt that the graduation doesn't make one a full fledged nurse and that the learning continues. It just seems that a person that can't learn well in school won't learn well at work. A...

  13. Alternative to spanking

    Atheos replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    Well in the interests of full disclosure, I was, and am bipolar. God him or herself could have smote me down and I wouldn't have paused for one instant. I was DRIVEN. That is just proof that ABUSE...

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

    Atheos replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    Woah! I think I made it QUITE clear that I was NOT trying to impugne the poster. In fact I made it clear several times that it was a perception AND that it was more likely a problem of mine than of...

  15. Alternative to spanking

    Atheos replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    That applies to EVERY punishment. The more my parents punished me the better I got at getting away with things. I was fooling the parents AND the police. So, it's not just spanking. LOL If a child...

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

    Atheos replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    Unfortunately, that phrase was never intended to be a joke. It was to show people that just because someone is a doctor it doesn't mean that they are good, know anything or should be a doctor. While I...

  17. plz answer my qestion about GED

    Atheos replied to WantingToBeANurse's topic in General Nursing

    I think you misunderstand our intentions. It's not to tell her that staying in school is bad. Staying in school will make her life SOOOO much easier. But... We are telling her that NO MATTER which...

  18. Alternative to spanking

    Atheos replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    Now it's time for me to flip flop. I do not think spanking is abuse. However... Spanking is not always effective. Spanking wasn't effective on me. Every crime you can think, minus the violent ones,...

    Atheos replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    If you are going to use a quote, how about using it in the proper context. The quote you mention is in regards to people NOT being trustworthy. People that I would prospectively get in relationships...

  20. Is there a shortage or glut of nurses in informatics?

    Atheos replied to Mijourney's topic in Nursing Informatics

    Photoshop actually has a pretty steep learning curve... LOL Basic excel usage is one thing but I have seen some tricked out spreadsheets that push VBA to the max.

    Please, school raises stress levels. So do bullies and tests. This is starting to become quite a

  24. Lowered my pay, didn't tell me? Don't know what to do?

    Atheos replied to liberty_bell's topic in General Nursing

    awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

  25. Is there a shortage or glut of nurses in informatics?

    Atheos replied to Mijourney's topic in Nursing Informatics

    Right now in my facility we only have an IT director. Not a nurse. However, he is rarely there and I have become the 'unofficial' superuser. I don't technically have super user access but that's not...
