    Atheos replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    Really? Name one person in your life that HASN'T betrayed you at least once. Minus your children... Just one. :) Remember, even a lie is a betrayal. Not all betrayals are large life changing, Judas...

  2. Alternative to spanking

    Atheos replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone I meet gets all my trust from the get go. If you have it, you have it implicitly. If you lose it, you lose it forever. It's up to you if you keep it or lose it. Trust goes BOTH ways. People...

  4. Alternative to spanking

    Atheos replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    you state kids need love and discipline. if kids don't need comfort and nurturing, then how do you define love? love - knowing that my parents would die for me before allowing harm to come to me....

  5. Alternative to spanking

    Atheos replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    I'll never punish my kids for swearing because I think the whole 'swearing is bad' thing is bunk.

    we are human beings who have the ability, need and the desire to nurture, comfort and love our young. desire and ability don't equal need. we do nurture and comfort our children but those are...

  7. Alternative to spanking

    Atheos replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    My parent's started out spanking me for swearing until they found that I DESPISED the soap in the mouth thing. They didn't use regular soap. Oh No! They liked the idea of liquid soap.

    Atheos replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    Who told you that nonsense. ROFL. The sole purpose of parents is to teach their children so that they can survive. SURVIVE. Nurturers and comforters. LOL Spanking in no way diminishes that trust. Has...

  12. Does your hospital allow you to say "Merry Christmas"??

    Atheos replied to VU RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    I readily admit that 90% of my problems in life have been caused by my mouth (hands as well). Hehehe. I can't think and self regulate at the same time. To do one means less of the other. I haven't...

  14. Does your hospital allow you to say "Merry Christmas"??

    Atheos replied to VU RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    LOL There are WORSE words but I don't wanna say them and it is only an example. Basically, I am telling you that IF YOU KNOW Me and still tell me Merry Christmas you are being offensive on purpose. If...

    Atheos replied to VU RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    You are right. I have become rude and disrespectful in previous threads. But... Not today. :) But... So have you and most of the other people that post in the political forums... It's WAY harder to...

  16. Does your hospital allow you to say "Merry Christmas"??

    Atheos replied to VU RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    Many, if not most un-politically correct terms are rude. Would you call me colored because you don't like the politically correct AA? You can't separate the non-politically correct and the rude. They...

    Atheos replied to VU RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    By adopted you mean 'stole in an attempt to suppress the previous religion and pacify the newly dominated peoples.' You are right though. All of the Christian holidays have their basis in pagan...

    Atheos replied to VU RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    Did not know about them. I, however, would not tell them Happy Holidays now that I know. It's a small point. A small gesture of respect for them. Easy enough to do.

  19. Does your hospital allow you to say "Merry Christmas"??

    Atheos replied to VU RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    A) No one's religion bars holidays in the generic sense... B) It's basically a religious argument. Of course the dominant religion would consider it a 'minor' thing to bicker about. C) If it was so...

    Atheos replied to VU RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    Well employers DO have the right to set those rules... Maybe they are silly but it does prevent some offense. BTW - It's not the Merry Christmas that's offensive. It's the looks and or comments or...

    Atheos replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes it IS ok to hit other people. You should also teach your children that hitting is NOT always bad. Next time I see a crime go down I'll just stand still because hitting is bad. Like my...

  23. Co-worker who calls me cutsie terms of endearment and pokes me a lot

    Atheos replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's when I escalate it. I try to be subtle (yeah, not my specialty) at first. It get's quite obvious though. The same way you can tell that someone just touched a burning hot pan. Then if that...

    Atheos replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    If you pull away from people obviously and quickly when they start the touching business they get the idea. OR they'll wise up and ask if touching bothers
