  1. Grades don't matter!

    Atheos replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    The real learning is always learned after school ends in every job... I will work in Trauma as well. I also will have a Doctorate someday and therefore the grades are of utmost importance. Even if...

    Atheos replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    They practice with 4 years of EXCELLENT grades then three years of pass fail then 3-8 of their version of clinicals. So 7 years of school. 4 judged by grades, 3 by pass/fail then 3-8 years of...

  3. Grades don't matter!

    Atheos replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    Because medical school is post BSN... They already went to college (not to exclude the 2nd degree nurses.) They kinda already finished school. Lastly if you think that 3.5 student can get into the...

  4. Grades don't matter!

    Atheos replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    I think we've answered the question. If you are going to just go for your LPN/ADN/BSN the grades don't matter, except to some employers and some students. If you want further degrees the grades do...

  5. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    Atheos replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Heheheheheh. It's not really the conservatives I have a problem with but some groups that fall under that title. I can't very well point them out without raising EVERYONE'S hackles so I just pick on...

  6. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    Atheos replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well my happiness is quite ok... My 'anger' has never been a problem at work as a CNA or anything else. I am not even angry. I just don't censor myself as much as other people do. All feelings come...

  7. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    Atheos replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I belittle people all the time. Especially for their 'choice' of president. Just not on allnurses... And never publicly!!! :) Inner monologues are wonderful things! Some things are just...

  8. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    Atheos replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Wouldn't UHC replace Medicare? If UHC was implemented the problems with Medicare would be solved as it would be gone... Of course, it's easy to expect someone else to ride the 1000 headed beast. Name...

  9. Baylor/Weekend reward questions??

    Atheos replied to racing-mom4's topic in General Nursing

    There are only 2 acceptable overtimes rules for the Labor department. Anything over 40 per week = overtime Or anything over 8 hours in a day and over 80 hours in 2 weeks = overtime. The company has to...

  10. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    Atheos replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I will admit that I am prejudiced towards some people whose beliefs I don't share. I don't always show it but usually when people believe in certain things they tend to think a certain way, That way...

  11. Choose your words wisely....

    Atheos replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    That's horrible. We only have 49 beds and always have 6. If we have 5 d/t a callout then we pull the restorative aide. Having 5 aides has only happened twice. We consider it unacceptable. Those 6...

  12. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    Atheos replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well I never had to put my life on the line per se. I was in that sweet spot between Bush 1 and Bush 2:Return of the Moron. In any case, don't thank me. It makes me uncomfortable. :imbar If I had to...

  13. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    Atheos replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My military service ensured my right to ridicule the president who by the way bs'd his way through the guard. I must go to bed so remember this one thing. I, me, Stanley Williams gave away 4+ years...

  14. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    Atheos replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Are you asking if Kerry would have been better than Bush? Come on. I would be better president than Bush... Mission

  15. Agencies-are they a rip-off

    Atheos replied to 2bNurseguru's topic in General Nursing

    We have an agency that's rather new. We almost always have the same people. They practically are staff and the nurses they have sent us are VERY good. Never any problems with any of them and the staff...

  16. You know your pt is a jerk if........

    Atheos replied to traumamomtx's topic in General Nursing

    We are all that and a bag of... oh wait... Sorry, I was still in 'my world' for a second. Nevermind... Continue.

  17. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    Atheos replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    While we try to avoid stereotypes because they lump in people that don't fit they do sometimes have a basis in truth. Sometimes things are bigoted and still right... I can't honestly find something...

  19. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    Atheos replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Are you seriously saying anyone voted for Bush because of his stellar reputation, experience or morale high

  20. Grades don't matter!

    Atheos replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    They don't symbolize intelligence. They symbolize drive and desire and hard work though. You think anyone that excels at anything just does good enough to pass? I understand some people do their best...

  21. Grades don't matter!

    Atheos replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    That probably won't be an 'average' nurse either. I wonder how well 'average' nurses do in Critical Care areas... Sure life happens and maybe someone tries hard but gets a C, do you really want...

  22. Depression...

    Atheos replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

    Same as usual. You can always judge me by the amount of posting I do here. Was on a ''natural' high all last week... Still going strong so the crash can't be too far away. Hopefully it comes before...

  23. Choose your words wisely....

    Atheos replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Also not to be judgmental but short staffing is always the NH's fault. Even if there is a call in the staffing coordinator should have multiple contingency plans and plans for if the contingency plans...

  24. Grades don't matter!

    Atheos replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    She probably wasn't that smart then. A's don't indicate intelligence. Shrug... Like I said, everyone has to repay their own loans/pay their tuition. What you want to do with your money is on you. If...

  25. Choose your words wisely....

    Atheos replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Only asking because when I was in the Medicaid/Medicare nursing homes, I don't really have memories of excess falls. Maybe one or 2 people but we always had them covered and knew their routines... Hmm...
