  1. some younger male nurses.....

    Atheos replied to junebride's topic in Men in Nursing

    Added an edit which I forgot to include. I think you missed the part where I mentioned that there was an order of non soldiers that were

  2. some younger male nurses.....

    Atheos replied to junebride's topic in Men in Nursing

    Nope, the first nurses EVER were men but not soldiers. Men started the profession. There was an entire order dedicated to nursing. It was only in the 1800s that it somehow became a woman's

  3. Is this reasonable or am I being a newbie?

    Atheos replied to dander625's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  4. The Circumcision Discussion

    Atheos replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Memories of pain fade. How many injuries does the average person have? I have memories of the idea of the pain. You can't remember the actual pain. That only happens with traumatic injuries where you...

  5. The Circumcision Discussion

    Atheos replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No pain meds = Cruel and Unusual punishment. Just ask ANY man.

  6. Do Agencies accept new CNA grads?

    Atheos replied to Rtkam's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Congratulations and good luck. I would recommend going to a facility and working PT or PRN. Working agency can be hellish and the facilities will throw you to the wolves. They will expect you to be...

  7. Soooo discouraged!!

    Atheos replied to ms. papa RN AGAIN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Honesty is good. A place that won't hire you solely because of mistakes in the past probably aren't going to be worth it. The place that gives you the chance will be the good one. Keep pounding on the...

  8. Religious believes expressed in nursing theories. For or against

    Atheos replied to justagirl81's topic in General Nursing

    I never said not to read from a book or offer prayers... My point was that nurses/aides aren't qualified to hand out religious advice and shouldn't be unilaterally including them in nursing theories....

  9. Better pay if Bilingual?

    Atheos replied to Little Doe's topic in General Nursing

    Nice :) I need to work on Italian. French seems nice but I am not sure I could get that accent down. It would be like an elephant running around a china shop.

  10. Religious believes expressed in nursing theories. For or against

    Atheos replied to justagirl81's topic in General Nursing

    I was playing nice. I was laughing at the fact that while you are a Christian (I think that is right) that you totally got the religious text for the basis of your religion (Judaism) which is the...

  11. Help: Tattoo Ideas!!

    Atheos replied to SRNA11's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Interesting.... Let's examine that in practice. I am the one responsible for hiring for my employer. I conduct the interviews. I utilize many methods of screening prospective employees, including...

  12. heavy lifting

    Atheos replied to nads786's topic in Men in Nursing

    Aren't back braces intended to prevent hernias and not back injuries? Not sure of this but heavy lifters in competitions and such use it for this purpose. Anyone have any ideas about

  13. Religious believes expressed in nursing theories. For or against

    Atheos replied to justagirl81's topic in General Nursing

    ROFL, that patient was probably really annoyed.

  14. Jury Duty vs Duty to Hospital

    Atheos replied to transkat's topic in General Nursing

    Not it's not. Offering up an excuse is not illegal. Lying about one may be but giving one isn't. Learn the law... Also telling an excuse to the police officer isn't illegal. Sometimes they just give...

  15. Most RN's first borns?

    Atheos replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in General Nursing

    First born male :) Father alcoholic/junkie, Never was the family caregiver. ETOH and drugs run through the

  16. How far can a hospice nurse go, spiritually-speaking?

    Atheos replied to GardenerGirl's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Speechless...

  17. Jury Duty vs Duty to Hospital

    Atheos replied to transkat's topic in General Nursing

    Starship Troopers eh? Very good idea IMHO. If you aren't willing to die for your country how can you judge someone that isn't willing to serve jury duty, but is willing to die. (Not you personally :)...

  18. Working with all females - fringe benefit or danger zone?

    Atheos replied to medlaw's topic in Men in Nursing

    :) It's like pizza. When it is good it is great. When it sucks, it's still pretty good. I hope you are going into nursing for more than the women however or I am afraid those very women will chew you...

  19. Applying for CNA license, HELP!!!

    Atheos replied to Mami.Melissa's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If your class was 6 years ago you probably will have to take the class again. Check with the BON but usually they have a time limit between class and test. Much has changed since

  20. Is this reasonable or am I being a newbie?

    Atheos replied to dander625's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You pass trays? Obviously I wasn't trying to offend and am sorry if I did.I was just on a roll and wasn't really thinking anyone would read that much into

  21. Is this reasonable or am I being a newbie?

    Atheos replied to dander625's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You didn't mention how many residents the CNA's have but as a CNA if you want me to get VS's on day shift and need them by a specific time you will get a crazy look. :) Unless the staffing ratio is...

  22. Jury Duty vs Duty to Hospital

    Atheos replied to transkat's topic in General Nursing

    Obeying laws are our only responsibilities. If the law allows someone out of the jury duty then so be it. If you have a problem with people being free or a problem with people that perform a real...

  23. Religious believes expressed in nursing theories. For or against

    Atheos replied to justagirl81's topic in General Nursing

    A drive by shooting. How quaint... Typing skill and ability to use proper grammar/spelling are not the same thing. Especially when typing at night in the dark. Thank you for playing... I also never...

  24. Religious believes expressed in nursing theories. For or against

    Atheos replied to justagirl81's topic in General Nursing

    That would be good training for everyone I think. Especially in my part of the country. Even among the staff the diversity is staggering. We pretty much have all the religions covered between the...

  25. Religious believes expressed in nursing theories. For or against

    Atheos replied to justagirl81's topic in General Nursing

    Indeed. I mean generally. Most nurses, even most people, are not trained. Nuns are scary though. It always seems they are in close proximity to a meter
