  1. Do you recommend becoming a nurse?

    Atheos replied to BradleyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you need a break? Or a different environment? Or a different form of nursing? Something... Get some help. Talk to someone. I mean someone close like a friend or family

  2. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    Atheos replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    Yea, sometimes it is hard to find people that are on your 'level.' Also those on lower levels sometimes do get annoying with inane banter. NEVER let on that you are either annoyed or above their level...

  3. Do you recommend becoming a nurse?

    Atheos replied to BradleyRN's topic in General Nursing

    What I meant was that the person could be an extremely good nurse. Remember, nurses and nursing in general aren't the only industry underpaid and understaffed. I'd imagine that 5 years of working ANY...

  4. Do you recommend becoming a nurse?

    Atheos replied to BradleyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Indeed. I've seen some people voted MOST likely not to give a darn about people (myself included) try nursing and find out that 'hey! they not only give a darn,' they like it and do it well. Shrug....

  5. Anyone work as a CNA while going to NSG school?

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

    Ugh. Nursing homes are like Drama Birthing Centers. Just keep plugging at it and ignore the fools that are jumping on you. The best revenge is to finish nursing school, pass the NCLEX and leave those...

  6. Calling in sick (question)

    Atheos replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    As a staffing coordinator I'd be peeved if you called in. I'd be REALLY peeved if you came to work and made everyone else sick and they ALL called

  7. What I Hate About Nursing Is...

    Atheos replied to hnt1987's topic in General Nursing

  8. Personality Type and Nursing

    Atheos replied to Mesomorph's topic in General Nursing

    masterminds tend to be much more definite and self-confident than other rationals, having usually developed a very strong will. decisions come easily to them; in fact, they can hardly rest until they...

  9. Nurses and the 2008 election

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

    We just want to know where the outrage is... where is the disdain, the anger, the shock, the surprise? Why can't ANYONE answer that question? They refuse to answer the question. They get angry at us....

  10. Nurses and the 2008 election

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

    Bravo RN Power Ohio!!! You've said what I continue to try to elucidate. Silence is approval and if people approve where does it leave them and what else can people infer from that approval. Having...

  12. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    Atheos replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    School doesn't MAKE you smarter. You are born with all the intelligence you will ever have. I don't know you but the 'snob' vibes are flying out of my computer. Learn to be a human being. The whole...

  14. Nurses and the 2008 election

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

    Right on!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! The only issue that McCain/Palin seem to care about is the horrifying prospect of a black president. Well thanks to them and their ignorant base we can...

  15. Poorly Written Exams-Is there any recourse?

    Atheos replied to jpeters84's topic in General Students

    I would talk to her in a round about way. Tell her that you were having a lot of trouble with the test and maybe give her examples where you got confused. Also find out exactly how and what she...

  16. Fillipino nurses, their way of doing things abroad

    Atheos replied to Butterflybee's topic in General Nursing

    Our entire night shift (with the exception of 1 nurse and 1 CNA) are Filipino. They are by far the best shift and the best CNAs in the building. That's all I have to say about that little

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

    Atheos replied to sironside's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Hi, I am BP2 as well. If the meds are no longer effective you really need to go see the doc. He needs to be in the loop so he can do something about the anxiety. As far as the school goes, I am not...

  24. Ethics of Nurse/Patient Relationships

    Atheos replied to patwil73's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Atheos replied to YO/RN's topic in General Nursing

    This is a misconception. Employers in EVERY state CAN discuss anything they wish with prospective employers. The confusion is coming from the fact that HR managers are telling people they can't...
