I would not take the hospital job. The reason I say, is because: 1. It is a $5 dollar pay cut which means less money for you.2. The job is an hour away and gas is $4 dollars a gallon which means less money for you and your family. 3. Less time with the kids.4. No more "me" time. (and as a mother myself I can speak for every woman and say we NEED our "me" time:-)) Although you finally can have the job at the hospital, don't you think it will be better just to stay where you are?? Maybe when you become an RN it will not be so hard to get in there. I hope it works out for you...

Congratulations!!!??

I go to Itt tech canton and start in September!!

I think it depends on the persons pleasure. I would prefer to have 3 12's on midnights. If I come in at 11 I can put the kids in bed and go to work. Then by the time I get off they will still be sleep. When I come home, I can wake them up for school. They will never even know I'm gone:-)

Im accepted to!! Orientation is tomorrow @ 10 see u there:-)

Hello all! I start September 17. I am really nervous but also excited. I will be attending ITT Tech in Michigan. I have orientation on Tuesday. I can't wait for clinicals:-) for the students that already started do have any tips for me??

That was cute! Haha!! If I'm blessed to be alive that long I will try and remember that

All I can say is wow!! That was an ignorant statement!

"you're old"!!! That is too funny!

You go girl!!!! :anpom::anpom::anpom::anpom::anpom::anpom:

In my opinion, no one should talk down on you no matter what their education background is!! Doctor, RN, CNA etc.

Hello all I am new to this board and just wanted to ask a few questions ( sorry if they were already asked lol) what subjects do the HEsi exam cover and can I attend the school if I live in the US? If so will I be able to work in the US with a liscence from another country?

Good for you!!!! YAY!!

I am a CNA and I am sick of the abuse as well. I recently quit a job because it was so much absue. I was pregnant and could not jeopardize my or my unborn child's health. The place where I worked did not really care about the combative patients assaulting us either.

YES DO IT! driving one hour and 15 minutes for 3 days a week is worth it! you will have the experience so just in case you aply somewhere a little closer they will see you worked in NICU! I would definitely do it even if it was 2 hours away!

Congrats!!!! Stick with it!:)

Yes it is part of the job. Honestly if they complain that is them just being lazy. It is so aggravating to me when a nurse complains about things that they have to in their job description! If helping patients is o much of a problem then i suggest looking into a new career field!

first of all you do not have to have a tough personality to be great at your job. first of all your personality is a good fit for the firld that you are in. second you need to realize that EVERYBODY that you will be working with is a person just like you!!!! all the people that you work with eat, sleep and poop just like you! NEVER change who you are especially to have a tougher personality! im not saying be a push over but understand that you are a smart beautiful hard working nurse for a reason so go out there and do your job that you worked so hard to be!!!!! remember: we are all people and i can guarantee more than half of the people that you work with who put uo a "tough exterior" is soft as pie deep down and are hiding who they really are. AT LEAST YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND NEVER CHANGE THAT!!!! DO YOUR JOB! THATS WHY YOU ARE THERE!!! :redbeathe:yeah:

you should really have a talk with her (after you have calmed down ). when you talk to her inform her that you are an employee of the same work place she is and that her actions are highly unprofessional. not only yelling at you but also in front of family and patients is crazy and that makes the enviornment of the whole hospial look terrible. tell her that you are just following the rule that the patient has the right refuse. also in a very professional manner let her know that if her unprofessional actions happen again you will be letting someone over know! after that please let me know how her actions have changed

you can always let the nurse know that you need help. they should be willing to help you out. how a eyou doing now at the job??

i would DEFINITELY report that. that was very unprofessional and also very wasteful! not only would have i reported what she did i would tell her (in a very calm voice) that was very unprofessional and to NEVER do that again!

i dont think you have to be licensed o do that. its very simple as long as you dont pull on it.
