  1. Tell me about Genesis LTC GNA course/job!

    Atheos replied to renee_cal's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I assume you are talking about Genesis Healthcare. All I have to say about them is BLEH. Bleh is all I will say about them. Take it at a community college. There are FAR better ltc's out

  2. Alternative to spanking

    Atheos replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    Lol. The alternative styles of raising children don't work for every one. I told my mother to shut up once in my life. My dad knocked me out (only time EVER hitting me like that). I have never even...

  3. Ten Reasons Why American Health Care Is so Bad

    Atheos replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Hmm, I think Timothy hit it on the head. We have to separate the issues. I will agree that the 'Care' can be quite outstanding. Of course 'outstanding' care is irrelevant if no one can afford

  5. terminated

    Atheos replied to lynn0808's topic in General Nursing

    We already had a thread where I posted the laws concerning this. It's somewhere around here. So, in the interest of brevity... Most states have immunity laws. About 4 or 5 have no laws providing...

    Atheos replied to lynn0808's topic in General Nursing

    In EVERY state, employers can tell a prospective employer ANYTHING that relates to the job as long as they make a good faith effort to ensure what they say is accurate and truthful. All states...

  7. Does Your School Give Priority Registration to Certain People?

    Atheos replied to jpeters84's topic in General Students

    Peace Corps is bunk. If you serve your country one of the benefits is that MANY MANY MANY employers and schools give you priority. As they should. Don't like it? Join the military. Nursing school is...

  10. Gay Nurses... help!

    Atheos replied to quakerkid's topic in Male Nursing Students

    In point of fact, NO nurse has witnessed ANYTHING supernatural. You only think you have felt or sensed something supernatural. I mean seriously. I don't see how people study science and still persist...

  11. Gay Nurses... help!

    Atheos replied to quakerkid's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Um the purpose of the Constitution is to protect the minority from the majority. I could care less if the 'larger' segment is annoyed. I'm pretty sure a large segment of the population is annoyed that...

  12. Question.....I'm kind of confused

    Atheos replied to able2009's topic in General Nursing

    That I couldn't tell you but I seriously doubt it. Maybe the techs here that are required to EMTs or Paramedics. NOt sure. I have never personally been a

  13. Question.....I'm kind of confused

    Atheos replied to able2009's topic in General Nursing

    Being a CNA has helped in clinicals a bit but really there is a lot of stuff I didn't know. I'd say it only helps as far as ADL skills go but not with anything else. Of course I am still a

  14. Question.....I'm kind of confused

    Atheos replied to able2009's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, in a clinic they would be about the same but LPNs are also in LTC where they usually make way more than in a clinic. It does vary by state though. I still see CNAs making anywhere from 8-20....

  15. Question.....I'm kind of confused

    Atheos replied to able2009's topic in General Nursing

    Here in VA I made 14.75 while I was a plain old CNA and 17ish on the weekends. My roomie that's a tech just started at 15.75. First time as a

  16. Question.....I'm kind of confused

    Atheos replied to able2009's topic in General Nursing

    In many places CMAs make the same as CNAs or less. In my location the PCTs make more than CMAs and on are on par with experienced CNAs. A CMA isn't really the same as a LPN but they ARE sometimes used...

  17. Gay Nurses... help!

    Atheos replied to quakerkid's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I propose that radical Christians remember that they aren't the only people in the country worthy of rights. Your request is eerily similar to those people that wished blacks would stop agitating and...

  18. Gay Nurses... help!

    Atheos replied to quakerkid's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Gay radicals? Marriage is not a religious institution. It was here before Christianity and it will be here after Christianity goes the way of the dodo. Antagonizing bigots doesn't make you a radical....

  20. group presentations....why cant everyone do their share?

    Atheos replied to senecagirl's topic in General Students

    Ugh. I hate group projects. Luckily my profs that do group projects have allowed me to work solo. Of course, that means more work for me but peace of mind is

  21. Obama & Unionization at St. Francis

    Atheos replied to QualOfLife's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Won't be easy to pass? In a proUnion totally controlled Democrat House and Senate? Surely you jest... I think the only reason it will take time to be addressed is the deluge of more important

  22. Nurses and the 2008 election

    Atheos replied to Brian's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Well as for vets, they were very vocal about their scorn for McCain. As to current soldiers, well, I don't know about your friends, but I know how it was for me in the military, I know my friends...

  24. Nurses and the 2008 election

    Atheos replied to Brian's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Freeing yours slaves at your death doesn't absolve you from the fact that you owned slaves. I don't need to study my history. They CLEARLY did not include African Americans in 'All men are created...

    Atheos replied to dmarie88's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
