    Atheos replied to tronix304's topic in Male Nursing Students

  14. Nurses struggling with mental illness

    Atheos replied to Severina's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Oh heh. I only get hypomanic. I can pull off my claims of grandiosity. I just can't make the hypomania last long enough to make it marketable.

  15. Nurses struggling with mental illness

    Atheos replied to Severina's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Heh, that's nothing. Here you have to tell the DMV if you are Bipolar AND get a doctor's release before getting your driver's license. I don't think it's discrimination at all. By nature and...

  19. striking nurses

    Atheos replied to amandasdad's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Lack of research has no relation to lack of evidence of the viability of unions. The poor results by union leaders in no way means that unions are still not useful. Because of unions, nurses have a...

  20. striking nurses

    Atheos replied to amandasdad's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    If and when the business you work for decides on a course of action, whether or not the 'owner' is your friend or listens to you, it will proceed with that course of action. If they decide they don't...
