    Atheos replied to legend0710's topic in General Nursing

    :) My actions must confuse people then. A big, friendly guy full of compassion and love for his patients. Yet an atheist. Heh.

  2. Honestly, how bad is the gas chamber?

    Atheos replied to Renee4christ's topic in Government, Military

    Nope. Was a 98G. Cryptologic Linguist. Intel. However, all my friends that stayed in have all been attached to infantry units and are pretty much infantry in

  4. does smoking really cause lung cancer?

    Atheos replied to cumberland40's topic in Oncology

    People are going to throw out bologna facts all year if you let them. http://www.voanews.com/english/archive/2008-04/2008-04-03-voa4.cfm?CFID=60121530&CFTOKEN=60730709 ...While cigarette smoking...

  6. Is this LEGAL?

    Atheos replied to ShoesOnTooTight's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I must say, this is the most civil 'religious' thread I have ever seen. I was getting ready for a big fight. :chuckle How refreshing. Maybe there is hope for us

  7. Honestly, how bad is the gas chamber?

    Atheos replied to Renee4christ's topic in Government, Military

    Friendly? Lol they kept us in until everyone took off their mask. Of course one guy wouldn't so after about 1 and a half minutes we beat the bejesus out of him and ripped his mask off. Then they made...

  10. Is this LEGAL?

    Atheos replied to ShoesOnTooTight's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is no such thing as a democratic republic. You are one or the other. We are a republic, democracy in America is a myth that people seem to swallow hook line and sinker. As far as not being a...

  11. Is this LEGAL?

    Atheos replied to ShoesOnTooTight's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually you are incorrect. A law was broken. The US Supreme Court ruled against mandated daily school prayer in Engel v. Vitale (1962). In 1963, it struck down laws in Pennsylvania and Maryland...

  12. CNA testing quick question...Help! :)

    Atheos replied to fullofsm1lez's topic in Michigan Nursing

    i have never heard of an examiner caring which was done first. i had to do oral care and they did not care which i did first as long as i did both

  13. Death bed visions

    Atheos replied to legend0710's topic in General Nursing

    What is strange is every religion has people that claim to see these visions. Like we were saying before this is not about religion. What we think we know about religions is purely based in conjecture...

  14. cna's doing dressings??

    Atheos replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Nursing

    There have been times where someone has a small wound or red spot and the nurse would look at it and then give us the cream to put on. I also worked at a home where the nurses were so short staffed,...

  15. Dr. Oz says energy medicine the next big thing

    Atheos replied to passionflower's topic in Holistic

    The main reason society sees alternative treatment as hooey is that for so long and still a lot of it is hooey. Not to say that alternative medicine is all hooey, just that so many scam artist...

  16. When you graduate what part of nursing are you going into?

    Atheos replied to henryswife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am definitely heading to Baltimore Shock Trauma to jump into their Trauma ICU. After that I am not sure if I want to go for my CRNA or enroll in UMB's 5 year CNS/NP program. Still not sure about...

  17. Gas Chamber - Asthma

    Atheos replied to Gottago's topic in Government, Military

    There is no waiver. My brother's friend just went to the Corps recruiters and they would not let him in. However, nurse or not, being stuck in a combat zone without an inhaler would make a soldier...

  18. Anyone ever been on the Nutrisystem diet?

    Atheos replied to DolphinRN84's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Try eating more food. Stop with the portion control and do proper balancing of meal parts (proper amount of carbs, protein etc). Do proper exercise, less aerobic more anaerobic. You will find that you...

  19. Death bed visions

    Atheos replied to legend0710's topic in General Nursing

    While no one doubts that patients go through something, what exactly they go through is always open to interpretation. Also don't forget that what we perceive and experience is colored by our...

  20. Intolerant of RN errors

    Atheos replied to medpsychRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Many industries expect 110% performance. In the military and law enforcement if you make a mistake people can die, in banking a mistake can cost money, sometimes millions. Why should nurses be held to...

  21. Above and Beyond Scope

    Atheos replied to gingersdad's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Many places have a set procedure for when a patient has low blood sugar. The CNA shouldn't be given a reprimand she should be educated. While you say OJ and sugar is not recommended anymore MANY...

  22. Getting hired as an Acute Care Nurse Assistant

    Atheos replied to seek1kees's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It would be better to get your experience in a setting that is not so 'acute' for lack of a better word. Making a mistake in a nursing usually is not so serious. I imagine making a mistake in a...

  23. Do LPN's graduate from "college"?

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

    If you have an Associate of Applied Science you definitely are a college graduate. College does not imply a length of time but rather a

  24. How're your backs doing guys?

    Atheos replied to baldee's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have noticed that 'most' back injuries result from bad lifting techniques. My back is fine after nearly 10 years of being a CNA. If you lift properly the chances of you hurting your back are...

  25. Death bed visions

    Atheos replied to legend0710's topic in General Nursing

    While I have seen people have this kind of experience, I am pretty sure the person that has their first schizophrenic delusion finds it pretty life altering. Yea it can be life altering and yea they...
