  1. Moral/Ethical Advice

    backatit2 replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    you know what, i lied - i did speak up. i just searched my email and found a copy of the email i sent to my professor and i'll share it here. i sent the email when i was a couple of weeks away from...

  2. Moral/Ethical Advice

    backatit2 replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    well, i'm a strong believer in karma and when i was faced with the same situation i didn't speak up, and i don't think that put my morals any lower on the totem pole. having proof DOES factor in when...

  3. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    WOW - it's scary that a nurse who is assumed to be semi-intelligent would come to THAT conclusion after reading my post. you said i'm assuming a nurse has so little going on that she can remember to...

  4. Nurse with Body Odor

    backatit2 replied to prettyinblu's topic in General Nursing

    if you can't be direct, maybe you could send her an email (anonymously). i'd be sure to let her know it's not something other people have talked about so she doesn't have to be mortified that she's a...

  5. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    it wasnt 24 hours. i checked in at 4am and had the surgery a few hours later. i started asking the following morning (24 hours had already passed) when i could go home. he said he would check back...

  6. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    i think it would be safe to assume that ANY c-section patient who had the surgery on a Monday for example would be legitimate in requesting pain meds every four hours on Tuesday. But especially if...

  7. willing to relocate, please recommend a place for nursing jobs

    backatit2 replied to NewMac's topic in General Nursing

    wow i read that thread and it was annoying. a foreign nurse saying it's "unfair" if they couldn't come to america until the american nurses were happy. i missed the foreign part when i said come to...

  8. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    i never requested to be awakened - lol - wow, how the story unfolds! prescriptions usually say "every four hours OR as needed" i could see the nurse needing to assess if meds were requested before 4...

  9. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    backatit2 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    that's a unique situation specific to the military - not at all the typical route we're talking about. typically, in the civilian world - it takes 3.5 - 4 years to be a rn whatever path you take. oh...

  10. Moral/Ethical Advice

    backatit2 replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    this is true - she said it wouldn't bother her so much basically if it was someone that was in the same situation. that proves it's not really the fact that a person is cheating - it's conditional -...

  11. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    backatit2 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    ok, i lied - i don't believe you.

  12. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    so, does saying, "can you bring it to me when i'm due next so i don't have to bother you" not count as requesting it? it actually has to be requested each and every time? i think that's a little...

  13. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    backatit2 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    why would i have to complete a nursing program to know how long it takes? i got an AS degree - i know how long that takes. i got a BS degree - i know how long that takes. as an educated person feeling...

  14. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    backatit2 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    that was my initial point - it takes the same time, so i was curious as to what the debate is about and why (for those who went the ADN route) they didn't do the BSN route since it does take the same...

  15. Things people say coming out of anaesthetic

    backatit2 replied to frellyou's topic in General Nursing

    okay, i'm talking to myself now, but i have to say - i think anasthesiologist are some of the most appreciated yet have the least opportunities to get any credit. when i had my 2nd c section - i was a...

  16. Things people say coming out of anaesthetic

    backatit2 replied to frellyou's topic in General Nursing

    i agree if it's something that would be truly embarrassing because it was vulgar or inappropriate - but if it was just nonsense - i'd tell em - IF they

  17. Things people say coming out of anaesthetic

    backatit2 replied to frellyou's topic in General Nursing

    OMG - i hadn't been under anaesthesia yet, but when i was being wheeled to the OR for my first c-section i was loopy from SOMETHING. everything got really weird and started happening so FAST! one...

  18. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    thanks for the responses. who knows why it happened - maybe she saw me up and about (putting on makeup out of boredom) and thought i didn't need them. had i been lying in bed like most women who...

  19. online Anatomy and Physiology

    backatit2 replied to becks77's topic in General Students

    yup, i took AP1 and Micro online this semester and I'm applying to one of the best schools in the region that work closely with the magnet hospitals/teaching hospitals in the area. they DO accept the...

  20. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    backatit2 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    once again, grasping at straws, are we? or is it google? lol. there is an exception to every rule if you look hard enough. now i see why this "debate" really isn't a debate

  21. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    backatit2 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    no, because it's a fact that a bachelor's program is a 4 year program. yes, you can quit school, fail classes, go part time - and make it last longer. that doesn't change the FACT that it's a four...

  22. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    backatit2 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    i didn't attack it. i said it makes sense now - finally - after all those posts....we get to the point. yes, the take the same test in the end, but the requirements aren't the same, actually. last...

  23. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    backatit2 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    the program is a four year program. if you want to go that route, we can say a BSN takes 8 years for someone that went part time, took a semester off, etc, etc. and "some of us" that have families...

  24. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    backatit2 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    and nooow we get the answer about the benefit of going that route! i have a bachelor's degree - not a BSN that took four years. now that i'm going back for my BSN, my two years of core classes + the...

  25. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    backatit2 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    you're grasping at straws now - sort of like with the "several people"
