  1. Choose your words wisely....

    Atheos replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Just a question... I work at a private pay facility (which might be why I am under the impression that I am). When we have patients that fall constantly despite all the normal interventions it is...

  2. Nursing, Smoking, and Kids

    Atheos replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, I'm a smoker too. People ask me all the time if I think simultaneously smoking and trying to be a nurse is hypocritical. I usually just let them know I want to be a nurse to help other people but...

  3. Grades don't matter!

    Atheos replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    I love how we get that attitude. The whole 'you think you are better than us attitude.' Umm... This isn't highschool. I pay cash for my classes and working full time isn't 'easy' so anything less than...

  4. Nurse fired for calling police

    Atheos replied to Runman1914's topic in General Nursing

    Just because your decision resulted in an ok outcome doesn't mean it was the right decision... That's what people are trying to tell you. Doing the wrong thing for the right reason is still wrong....

  5. Nursing, Smoking, and Kids

    Atheos replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately typing in all caps should not be a liberty... Really though, it is hard on the

  6. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    Atheos replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    They are legitimately registered corporations with business licenses... Verifying a corporation would entail a person (being paid) flying or driving (more money) going to investigate. Even the FBI is...

  7. Grades don't matter!

    Atheos replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    All sarcasm aside. Bill Gates dropped out of college. George W. Bush = C student. (I should have included most powerful too) Albert Einstein = Horrible student. I could

  8. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    Atheos replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Like Enron eh? Worldcom? Yadda yadda yadda... It happens in public and private sectors... The only way they could verify all of those claims is to physically go and check. That requires more...

  9. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    Atheos replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So the problem is not really Medicare efficiency as much as the efficiency of law enforcement. Just because people cheat in school DOESN'T mean school is not working or isn't worth

  10. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    Atheos replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yup, good ole Stanley with his nonsensical ignorance... Oh wait... What is this??? Money from Wal-Mart according to Center for Responsive Politics Sen. Norm Coleman ® $21,000. Rep. John Kline ®...

  11. Unfair orientation discipline?

    Atheos replied to RosieD's topic in General Nursing

    Right-to-work state: This means you cannot be denied the opportunity to obtain or keep a job based on union membership. That is, you do not have to join a union to be hired. Twenty-two states are...

  12. Grades don't matter!

    Atheos replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    Grades are not a good measure of work ethic or intelligence. They never are. The smartest and some of the richest people almost always have bad grades. That being said, good grades may be needed. It...

  13. potential murder/suicide?

    Atheos replied to nerdtonurse?'s topic in Psychiatric

    This is a good article that covers the legal obligation to warn vs the person's rights. We were talking about this in class the other day. It is aimed at those in the psych field but I am pretty sure...

  14. Baylor/Weekend reward questions??

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

    They are being slick. By calling the time and a half pay the overtime pay they avoid you being able to go to the Labor Dept. They technically are paying you the overtime pay. What you need is a lawyer...

    Atheos replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well then make sure they were a) either written in a time where Dems controlled the gov't and actually had a good economy or b) from one of those socialized countries you don't like whose economies...

  17. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    Atheos replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oh, I definitely want other fat trimmed. I am just pointing out the fact that the same people that don't want universal health care are pretty much ok with the nonsense they pay for. That is pretty...

  18. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    Atheos replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    We do have control. We have the vote. If people voted wisely. If they gave the 'bad' politicians the boot. If they didn't continuously vote in people like Bush and other politicians repeatedly maybe...

  19. Nursing, Smoking, and Kids

    Atheos replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    Nice :) Good thing you don't get to decide who gets what rights... Proving your dad's smoking caused your asthma is going to be about as hard as proving my friends parents not smoking caused his...

  22. Nurse fired for calling police

    Atheos replied to Runman1914's topic in General Nursing

    This is where I will have to disagree. Any infraction of the law should result in an arrest. This is not the time to present any kind of letter. Citizen's have a duty to report crimes. They do not...

  23. Prayer at work??

    Atheos replied to ski4life's topic in General Nursing

    Darn tootin!!! Show me the money and I'll show you the best prayer you ever saw. Comforting, however, costs an extra

    Atheos replied to LaborNurse1's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Not sure how it relates to nursing but in the colleges I have attended/seen most if not all degrees offer a B.A. or a B.S.. The differences is usually that the B.A.'s are more humainties based and the...
