  1. Nursing, Smoking, and Kids

    Atheos replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    What I mean is that worrying about that while they are exposed to all the other toxins just created by cars for example is like pouring buckets of water on your bed while the rest of the house burns...

  2. Nursing, Smoking, and Kids

    Atheos replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    Not to excuse smoking but that is a dead horse. Air Pollution and Lung Development in Children (NIH Study) The damage caused by second hand toxins on clothing is insignificant compared to the toxins...

  3. Pay rate for Spanish speaking RNs...?

    Atheos replied to Skysail's topic in California Nursing

    I would demand more money if you are the only one that is able to translate. People take for granted the fact that people obtain more education and learn other languages. Would you take a dollar an...

  4. Nursing, Smoking, and Kids

    Atheos replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    In my pre-Army days there were days I was so poor I had to decide if I would eat that day or buy a pack of cigarettes. It was actually an easy choice as it is WAYYY better to have smokes and be hungry...

    Atheos replied to motyandproudofit's topic in General Students

    Atheos replied to Sugargirl66's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Unfortunately I have major depression due to bipolar 2 disorder. The medicine always changes. I find though that even though the number of days I want to die is great, those few days of happiness are...

  8. Sex and Nursing School

    Atheos replied to motyandproudofit's topic in General Students

    Well as a nursing student maybe you should take an advanced biology class. It is indeed wired in us to try to impregnate as many women as possible. Biology is biology. The thing about being human is...

    Atheos replied to terrajai's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mind helping other residents as we are there to help them all. However, at the end of my shift if 'my' residents aren't cared for because I spent time with all the residents it will be 'my'...

  10. Nursing, Smoking, and Kids

    Atheos replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    The problem comes with people trying to regulate what they do with their kids. If you ban smoking around them what's next? Fast food? Cars? Sports? Public Schools? It's like that movie Demolition Man....

  13. Staff nurse dating manager

    Atheos replied to dks54's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It is probably against HR policies. It isn't really unethical. It is unwise. It would only be unethical if there was preferential treatment. I am sure in any situation the tendency of preferential...

  14. Condom Catheter Crisis

    Atheos replied to abbaking's topic in Men in Nursing

    An erection is gross by all means but so is changing a dirty diaper. It's natural. Why is everyone so conscious about erections? They happen. Most guys know they happen for no reason and in the most...

  15. just a vent about a nurse brown noser!

    Atheos replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    Pretty interesting that everyone is being so judgmental about this person. To put it plainly, sucking up does work sometimes. Teasing this person won't help them. Neither will being rude to him or...

  16. Prayer at work??

    Atheos replied to ski4life's topic in General Nursing

    Being forced to participate in a prayer annoys me to no end. Grabbing my hand would have resulted in an instinctive jerk of my hand. While supporting a patients well being is all fine and good and I...

    Atheos replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Atheos replied to epipusher's topic in General Nursing

  23. How do you cope with being poor

    Atheos replied to prendela's topic in International Nursing

    If you aren't living in your car and eating off of the McDonalds dollar menu you are doing ok! The best thing about spending time poor is that you learn what is necessity and what is luxury. It will...

  24. Reckless Nurse?

    Atheos replied to Andrea81's topic in General Nursing

    Expungement only clears the public record but background checks will pick it up. The conviction stays on your record but John Q can not see it. Only felonies that bar nursing licensure will hurt you...

  25. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    Atheos replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's easy, split them into different languages. British and American English are separate. English in Belize is well, I don't know what. Languages can be governed. Arabic has a formal and informal...
