  2. your opinion on changing careers

    Kyriaka replied to counselor1st's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am in the process of a career change from accounting. I have no doubts that this is what I was meant to do. The problem really going to college when you are younger is that truly you dont know what...

  3. criminal history

    Kyriaka replied to donnar232's topic in General Nursing

    I also think that you will be asked no matter where you are trying to get a job. So it is best to take care of this now. That way you can attach any hearing information (if it goes in your favor) to...

    Kyriaka replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

    Tala, I give tours of the Chuch building during Greek Fest every year. Imagine my surprised when I was admonished by a fellow Christian that what gave us Greeks the right to change scriptures from the...

  5. criminal history

    Kyriaka replied to donnar232's topic in General Nursing

    I would find out this right now. You may need to find another career. Perhaps not. But I would want to know right now. *** I have a friend who was charged with a crime. He refused to take a plea deal...

  7. Religion's Place in Nursing

    Kyriaka replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, this is a "religious" thread, but I think if you go back and read all the posts you'll see that the issue of belief and non-belief has been a main focal point. _______________ Actually it was...

  8. A Nurse's Lifestyle

    Kyriaka replied to Lauren3249's topic in General Nursing

    Lauren, I would suggest that you read the wonderful book The Millionaire Next Door. What it will tell you is that most millionairs do not live like people think they do. Most do NOT own credit cards....

  9. Religion's Place in Nursing

    Kyriaka replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

    Shel, Sometimes people have attacked me for saying Xmas saying that I am X'ing out Christs name. But it is only in their ignorance of Greek. In Greek, Christos is reverently abbrv. with an X. Just...

  10. Religion's Place in Nursing

    Kyriaka replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

    Shel, O is left out of G--d because it is a holy name and should not be used irreverantly. This is common in Conservative & Orthodox Judiasm and also some Orthodox Christians. :) Does that

  11. feelings about double rooms

    Kyriaka replied to starryx2's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Probably the worst case I have heard of was that years ago (my mother told me this story about when she had me). There was a woman whose baby died at birth. She was put in a double room on the...

    Kyriaka replied to starryx2's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    6. Easier to make the patient comfortable in aspects to temparture in the room, lighting... ect. ______________ as a patient this is a huge issue. One time when I was in the hospital, I was put in a...

  15. Religion's Place in Nursing

    Kyriaka replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

    Shel, Actually in this part of the South most people are Christians of the Catholic persuasion since this city has been under 5 flags and is a French territory just as New Orleans. :) Then, of course,...

  16. Religion's Place in Nursing

    Kyriaka replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldnt agree with the last statement (emphasized by elk). Only you probably get more Christians because that is the prominent faith in the US. If you posted on a Chinese nursing board the faith...

  17. Religion's Place in Nursing

    Kyriaka replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

    Stitch, There are people who know (or think they know) 100%. It is my thought that no one knows a mans heart. Your faith is who you are. If someone wants to know what I believe I dont mind saying and...

  21. A Nurse's Lifestyle

    Kyriaka replied to Lauren3249's topic in General Nursing

    Since I am still a student, I cant say for sure. But from what I have looked into the pay is decent. But also alot has to do with managment skill. When I worked for ATT I made in the upper $30K range....

  22. Dress or scrubs? Females ONLY!!!!

    Kyriaka replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think it really depends on the person. My old mother in law is a head nurse. She is in her 60's and always wears a dress with white hose and those little old fashion hats!

  23. Why is it MEN seem to get along better in this field than WOMEN??!!!

    Kyriaka replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think you run into this with women in all business enviroments. I have had women bosses and I have had men bosses and I much prefer the men. With a man you always know where you stand. Men say what...

    Kyriaka replied to Blackcat99's topic in Activism, Healthcare
