Hi! I am trying to find a job while in school and there is a posting with a hospital for a "sitter" but I have never heard of that. Can anybody tell what they are/what they do? Thanks!

i am so glad that i found this forum! i have a desire to be a burn nurse and everybody out here in my world thinks i am crazy! they have all these opinions and all i can think is "have you worked there?" "are you even in nursing or the medical fie...

Ok-I really need to know how this not affects not only getting a job, but my being able to get a license! It is long! I have ALWAYS been careful with my credit. Credit is too picky. Not having any is bad, too much is bad, maxed out cards are bad, pay...

First let me thank you all! I received some WONDERFUL advice on here! I ended up setting up payment plans with both of them. I am going to request from my father's wife that if she cannot come up with proof of paying it off-then I would appreciate ...

My orientation was BORING! It was all day and we covered things like the handbook, attendance policy, grading policy, requirements to stay in the program, parking, rules of the campus (i.e. no smoking), we received our books and also went over study...

Um, excuse me, but maybe you need to go back and read my post. I bought the item when I had a job and had no clue that I was going to walk in one day and the company was going to be gone. At the time, it seemed better to hand it to a family member ...

Thank you all so much! I am starting to feel so much better! I have been trying to find a job while in school so that I can have the gas money to get to school, so I am going to call both of them tomorrow and see if they can't just help me set up p...

THANK YOU! I never thought about statue of limitations! I am going to check that out along with the other stuff you have mentioned. Thank you for taking the time to read this and offer some advice!

Holy cow! 3 ICU patients is a lot, plus you are barely out of orientation. You are about to work your 5th 12 in a row?! Plus your stress/exhaustion almost created a med error! You need to start screaming at the higher ups that they cannot do this-it ...

Check this out from the Occupational Outlook Handbook-it also lists some helpful sites at the end. Good luck! http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos105.htm

I would take the BSN and run never looking back!

Thanks! I appreciate the input! I think I will try to apply for it then. I wanted to work as an aide while in school, but nobody will hire me unless I am certified and my school is not giving us the test for that until Feb. So I hope this will pan...

Very true! If you call & they say, "No"-well then you know and move on. If they say, "Yes"-well then you do a happy dance! If you never call-then you will never know. Good luck and let us know what happens!

Now that was a very interesting story about those two. Have you ever seen it? I was shocked!

congratulations!!! :yelclap: :smiley_aa :w00t: you are a !!!!!!! you should be so proud! you are an amazing example!!! i am editing to apologize for not paying attention to the date of the post! ooops! but i still offer congrats & hope to...

Don't worry, I understand you are not trying to start a debate. I can see why the comment would irritate you. Nursing requires so much than a voice, looks and good publicist. This is a profession that needs more public education so there can be more...

do you know why this happens to you? is it something medical that could be treatable?

i agree!!!!! not only for you nurses & cna's but do it for the residents!!! they deserve so much better!!!!

Registered Respiratory Therapist-Neonatal Pediatric Specilaist (RRT-NPS)

congratulations! i am so happy for you! it gives me hope for when i finish school!

in my area, rrts do very well. they make as much and sometimes more than the rn's, get great schedules and can specialize. like for instance, last week one of our hospitals wanted a rrt to specialize in their nicu. they wanted them to work fri &...

i agree with all the above. ignore them and continue on with your work.

next thing you know, they'll have us going through a physical fitness test before we can get in. "we're sorry-you are not accepted. you did not finish the three mile run in under 2:47" i really hope it works out for her! my school asked someone n...

congratulations!! you should be so proud of yourself!! good luck!

this is a good point! we can't help you out blurrgurrl if you don't tell us what happened. there is just to broad a spectrum.
