  1. Socialized Medicine....WHAT IF?

    Atheos replied to unclebenny20's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yup, the wages at the VA are so horribly low. Oh wait. No they aren't...

  2. professor ask, "do you absolutely have to get an A?"

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

    I'm from the school of thought that if everyone gets an A, the test was too easy. The idea of a grading system is to not only give an overview of a students grasp of the subject at hand but also show...

  3. Nurses and the 2008 election

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

    We are hearing a lot about the founding fathers. They owned slaves. Their 'ideals' weren't all that great. I really just think we have evolved as a society. We have grown up and matured to the point...

  4. professor ask, "do you absolutely have to get an A?"

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

    A's should be for excellent students. A truly excellent student doesn't need to know what they have to do to get an A. An excellent student does get A's. Average students should be happy with C's and...

  5. Will I get fired?

    Atheos replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked 16 hour shifts 6-7 days in a row. Falling asleep isn't acceptable. Whether you are tired OR

  6. Will I get fired?

    Atheos replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    Unprofessional Umm this is the CNA's job. Don't sleep on the job maybe? Grow up. You messed up, not the nurse. Deal with

  7. Experience with e-textbooks- chemistry

    Atheos replied to Scooter5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My math and a&p books were available with a e-book version as a bonus. It think it added about 15 dollars to each. I love having a book butthe e-book is a very useful reference. Especially when...

  8. Do you take any stimulants?

    Atheos replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    Got to love the legal Adderall prescriptions. Nothing works as well as

  9. will universal healthcare ( in the usa) cut RN pay?

    Atheos replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Age means nothing. I met an 85 year old fool once. Foolishness doesn't partake in age discrimination or partisan behavior... If you would like to debate that is fine. If you require a lesson I could...

  10. will universal healthcare ( in the usa) cut RN pay?

    Atheos replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No doubt, conservatibe blogs suit you more. Information that can be independantly verified by multiple source and that stands the test of time is reliable. What isn't reliable are people that rely...

    Atheos replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    [youtube=JU4Nwok1Z5Q]What another POW thinks of John

  12. will universal healthcare ( in the usa) cut RN pay?

    Atheos replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No one is saying he wasn't a POW. Just that he isn't being as forthright as he should. The main thing is that he claims certain things about Vietnam and everyone defends him because he is a Vet and...

  13. will universal healthcare ( in the usa) cut RN pay?

    Atheos replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I could ask you the same question... What was the point of your post? Asd to McCains arms, I earlier videos he lifts them up. Prove it was due to torture that he can't do so now. As to PTSD, if he...

  14. Forced to stay at work...?

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

    We usually give our employees a few chances. Once is an accident, twice is a warning, three times is a pattern... Of course the people that are crazy responsible and go far and beyond get the same...

  15. No five stages of grief

    Atheos replied to aimeee's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I was under the impression that the 5 stages were not law. Not everyone goes through all of the stages and they don't always go in order. I've even seen people repeat a

  16. Forced to stay at work...?

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

    That is the crux of the problem. Children are a personal choice and no one else should have to pay for that choice. It's the parent's responsibility to make sure they have every contingency planned...

  17. Background Check and Credit check???

    Atheos replied to hotmama2be's topic in General Nursing

    I can see them doing credit reports for correctional nursing. Having large debt makes someone susceptible to doing something for money that someone with a good credit score won't do. Not saying they...

  18. Nurses and the 2008 election

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

    Colin Powell is a symbol to the black community. He laid the way for Condi as others laid the way for him. You respecting him is irrelevant. He is taking black voters with him. Got to love that rare...

  19. Nurses and the 2008 election

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

    Self reliant. That's a pipe dream. Everyone has had some form of help from the government at sometime. Besides, I have no problem helping Charlie the crackhead get medical care. Elderly, disabled...

  20. Please list your opinions on this subject i am dealing with.

    Atheos replied to 49*1's topic in General Nursing

    Do you mean 'background' check? General background checks don't include credit. Just police. Credit checks are very expensive. I don't see LTCs doing it. It's not very cost effective. Never even been...

  21. Please list your opinions on this subject i am dealing with.

    Atheos replied to 49*1's topic in General Nursing

    Never seen a nursing home do a credit check for employment. I seriously doubt hospitals do either. Background checks are very rare and are usually found in higher paying jobs along with govt

  22. Can bipolar disorder get in the way of recieving lnursing licensure?

    Atheos replied to sironside's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I told my school advisor about my BP. I was given a larger bank of available missed days AND I have to meet with the advisor every 2 weeks for 30 minutes. The BON has told me that they will have to...

  23. Nurses and the 2008 election

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

    Colin Powell is going to take a lot of black votes with him. The Republicans that are defecting will take a lot of 'pubs with

  24. cna medication distribution

    Atheos replied to hairyfrog's topic in General Nursing

    Check the BON AND the laws concerning AL facilities. In my state the BON has no jurisdiction over AL facilities. They are under the Dept of Social Services and the rules are very

  25. braggard in the classroom

    Atheos replied to tigerlilyrnstudent's topic in General Students

    She is insecure. However, your thoughts concerning her paint you as insecure. Either deal with her behavior by humoring her or ignore her. Better yet, give her some
