  2. I hate it when the male nurses on my unit...

    Atheos replied to nursedudeforchrist's topic in General Nursing

    Then that's not a false accusation. Joking with people is known to cause a lot of offense. That can not be compared to someone 'falsely accusing' you of things like sexual impropriety. Plus joking is...

  3. I hate it when the male nurses on my unit...

    Atheos replied to nursedudeforchrist's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah. I told one girl I wasn't her boyfriend and if she didn't want to get hit what made her think I would get hit for her. Puhlease... She actually went to the DON. I told the DON that...

  4. I hate it when the male nurses on my unit...

    Atheos replied to nursedudeforchrist's topic in General Nursing

    It's pretty unfair that I have had to take heavy male patients in trade because the little old lady felt it was improper for a big man to take care of her. What can you do? Fair is a subjective term....

    Atheos replied to Severina's topic in Nurse Disabilities

  6. Nurses struggling with mental illness

    Atheos replied to Severina's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    You can get credibility back??? No, just playing. I find that you can't let what other people think bother you. People that will look down on you because of an illness are, for lack of a better word,...

  7. Nurses struggling with mental illness

    Atheos replied to Severina's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I talk about it freely. The few nurses that have had negative things to say were quickly put in their place and educated. Something the nursing school apparently failed to do. I told my boss in my...

  9. The Circumcision Discussion

    Atheos replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Absolutely Not... I'm sure some do, but most heterosexual males find it to be a taboo subject. I have no scientific studies and I am sure the other men here will back me up on this one.

  13. BSN vs. ADN

    Atheos replied to closetnerd's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I haven't seen any jobs or talked to any BSNs that make significantly more as a BSN. Of course the DONs and such make more but that is a higher level job. I once saw a position where a BSN got .25...

  14. should i feel guilty?

    Atheos replied to purpil29's topic in General Nursing

    It's just pure envy. In fact I am starting to feel envious. I hate you!!!!! ( Heh j/k. That actually sounds like a good idea. Misery does love company though. I find many people get annoyed when...

    Atheos replied to 987!'s topic in General Nursing

    I had a resident that had Alzheimer's and was 'extremely' difficult. I came down to only 3 of us were allowed to take care of him. After about 2 years when he died, his family came and offered us...

  16. Military living...RV or 5th Wheel Anyone?

    Atheos replied to Care&Joy's topic in Government, Military

    Why live in an RV? You are going to get a housing

  17. I hate it when the male nurses on my unit...

    Atheos replied to nursedudeforchrist's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh, I used to be very nervous around female patients. Now the family of female patients that I am not acquainted with make me nervous. No good reason for them to avoid caring for females though. They...

  18. Myths in Healthcare

    Atheos replied to advocateforsafety's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly!!! The original argument was fallacious. Why do people that already pay refuse to change a system that is blatantly bad. They are blind... By the way, children, the handicapped and aged...

  19. Myths in Healthcare

    Atheos replied to advocateforsafety's topic in General Nursing

    Many of the poor people in this country work LONGER and WAY HARDER THAN NURSING HOURS than you do and still can't get adequate insurance. Your argument is fallacious and inflammatory. You are trying...

  21. Myths in Healthcare

    Atheos replied to advocateforsafety's topic in General Nursing

    Well most things people disagree on are subjective... Like the best potential president. However, when conclusive evidence (even if it is just the preponderance of evidence) points in one direction...

  22. Why Dogs Make the Best Friends

    Atheos replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in General Nursing

    Dogs are my favorite but at the moment I can't have one so I have had a Blue Throated Macaw for about 3 years. He's awesome and he can say about as many parts of the body as I can. :chuckle Parrots...

  23. Myths in Healthcare

    Atheos replied to advocateforsafety's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, our education system is lacking too but the majority in this country have blinders on. It's not going to change anytime

  24. CNA trying to hit me up for drugs.

    Atheos replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Report her. She could be joking. I've joked with the DON when she is destroying narcs. It is better to be on the safe side

  25. Nurse fired for calling police

    Atheos replied to Runman1914's topic in General Nursing

    Heck, I'll arrest them and detain them myself! We can do that where I am. Then I'll call the
