  7. Personal Hygiene...

    Atheos replied to Michelle123's topic in General Nursing

    Quite frankly those people were nasty. Sorry, but it's true. I spent a summer at a ranch where we 'lived' like in the old days. I made it to the 2nd day and insisted on bathing. Sure it was a little...

  8. Anyone can get into Nursing.

    Atheos replied to indiawhitaker's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, this is abusive. My father used to do this to my mother. I remember my father laughing as he beat the crap out of my mom. Why stay with a guy that does this? He knows it hurts your feeling....

  10. Cost of illegal immigration on one Florida hospital

    Atheos replied to Danish's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There really is no point to this debate. There usually are only 2 sides. One is the let's get rid of them all side. This argument usually has a nationalistic and racial component. We all know what...

  12. Cost of illegal immigration on one Florida hospital

    Atheos replied to Danish's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The day I see you doing migrant work I'll believe it. Not only would we not survive without cheap, illegal labor. Our economy would fail horribly. To believe otherwise just shows an ignorance of...

    Atheos replied to sassiebaz's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Atheos replied to JStyles1's topic in Nursing Career

    I am not sure. I was initially interested in the ER between being an ER patient at times and the show (I know that's silly). When I was visiting Baltimore it seemed to me like all the good stuff went...

  16. Alcohol problem

    Atheos replied to all_dressed_in_white's topic in General Nursing

  24. Question about LTC shifts.....

    Atheos replied to NatashaFromOregon's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    As far as I can tell prn(as needed) and per diem(daily) are essentially the same. You should ask the HR department of your prospective employer how they differentiate them. Basically you would be used...

  25. Question about LTC shifts.....

    Atheos replied to NatashaFromOregon's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It depends on the facility. At my facility they do allow some people to work wierd hours but rarely and the ones that do have the strictest attendance policy. If it is for school they may, but it may...
