  1. Lethal injection nurse???

    backatit2 replied to Zhakrin's topic in General Nursing

    i'm not against the death penalty for people who deserve it, but my issue would be the same as what someone else mentioned - i would worry that i might be assisting to end someone's life who was...

  2. NA at a hospital?

    backatit2 replied to meghan91's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should look further into taking a CNA class and getting certified. Where there's a will there's a way. I have a BS degree in another field and when I decided to go back to nursing school I...

  3. the patient who drives you CRAZY!

    backatit2 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    okay, first of all - i'm a CNA who is also a nursing student and i really like my job. i actually do this job because i WANT to. i have a degree in another field and i could make more money, but i...

  4. Call light response time policy and procedure

    backatit2 replied to MYRN2016's topic in General Nursing

    notice the bolded words: "i don't think that's unreasonable. obviously if i'm dressed out bc a patient is in isolation and i'm changing their bed i'm not going to stop what i'm doing, undress, and go...

  5. Call light response time policy and procedure

    backatit2 replied to MYRN2016's topic in General Nursing

    i don't think that's unreasonable. obviously if i'm dressed out bc a patient is in isolation and i'm changing their bed i'm not going to stop what i'm doing, undress, and go answer the light that is...

  6. Call light response time policy and procedure

    backatit2 replied to MYRN2016's topic in General Nursing

    amen, amen, AMEN!!! i get a 30 minute (unpaid) break and there are times while i'm taking that break that i will leave my break to answer a light if nobody is around. BUT there are times when 3-4...

  7. Do CNAs make for better nursing students?

    backatit2 replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in General Nursing

    i'm a CNA and i became a CNA specifically to gain experience that would help me as a student AND help me decide if the field was for me. i can't say for sure that i'll be a better student, but if i...

  8. Help, I'm a new nurse....worried about losing licensure constantly..

    backatit2 replied to KayDubb's topic in General Nursing

    i think i must be lucky because i rarely get sick to the point where i can't work. of course i've not felt well, had a cold, and then i threw up daily when i was pregnant - all of which i sucked it up...

  9. uniforms: any stranger recognized where you work by your uniform?

    backatit2 replied to RedWeasel's topic in General Nursing

    yeah, regardless of what color uniform you have you still hold the same title, but uniforms do make it a lot easier to identify each other. you can spot a nurse from the end of the hall instead of...

  10. question: 1 on one what to do?

    backatit2 replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in General Nursing

    the policy and what actually happens are two very different things. according to our POLICY an employee who is providing 1:1 care and/or supervision isn't supposed to read, listen to headphones, text,...

  11. Night shift and Sleeping

    backatit2 replied to jaznia15's topic in General Nursing

    i'm a CNA at a hospital right now and i work night shift. not only do i not have time to sleep - i don't have time to even think about sleeping! i literally can barely make it through my unpaid break...

  12. uniforms: any stranger recognized where you work by your uniform?

    backatit2 replied to RedWeasel's topic in General Nursing

    i think you are definitely grasping at straws. your employer isn't going to change their mind. uniforms help everyone identify each other quickly. i might not know your name, but i know if you're a...

  13. Did you get their bath done? Seriously?

    backatit2 replied to Bezoars's topic in General Nursing

    a nurse one said to me, "patient care always comes before paperwork." simple - yes, but often forgotten. of course the paperwork DOES have to get done, but if you actually WORK then chances are it...

  14. Being overly sensitive/overly emotional when dealing with patients

    backatit2 replied to kynchanted's topic in General Nursing

    i think shadowing is a great idea. there's no way to REALLY know how you'll act or react until you're actually doing the job. i wasn't sure i would be able to handle it well when i knew a patient just...

  15. "I'm A Good Nurse" Syndrome

    backatit2 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    how funny - i was driving just the other day behind a BAD driver and the person behind me was following my every move and i was thinking, "i really am a good driver" and then i was thinking, "everyone...

  16. RN/CNA dynamic where you work?

    backatit2 posted a topic in General Nursing

    what is the dynamic between the nurses and CNA's where you work? i am getting ready to start an accelerated BSN program as a second degree. i had never worked in the medical field, but nursing had...

  17. RN/CNA dynamic where you work?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    well, i didn't say anything to my supervisor. i'm still trying to figure out the different nurse's personalities/work ethic. there are some nurses who seem to value me and some who seem to think that...

  18. Impersonating a nurse

    backatit2 replied to Elleveein's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    that is very annoying - not to mention insulting to every nurse who has worked hard to earn his/her title. when i worked in a daycare while i was working on my teaching degree, it irritated me to no...

  19. Why aren't there better incentives for obtaining a BSN degree?

    backatit2 replied to labelle777's topic in General Nursing

    i've wondered the same thing. i'm getting a BSN because i have a BS in another field so it would take the same amount of time for ME to get a BSN as it would to get an ADN. my advice to people who are...

  20. What was the moment you knew you wanted to become a nurse?

    backatit2 replied to bsn_bound13's topic in General Nursing

    i never had one defining moment either. i had always considered teaching or nursing - never REALLY knowing which i wanted to do because in reality (at least in my opinion) it's hard to KNOW what you...

  21. Should second-hand smoke be illegal in a home with children?

    backatit2 replied to starzrn's topic in General Nursing

    lol - right! like i said before, just because someone's "daddy" got drunk and beat up "mommy" it means alcohol is bad - it couldn't be that "daddy" had no self

  22. New grad--old story: I am in orientation hell.

    backatit2 replied to smwiller's topic in General Nursing

    i said: "i'm dealing with preceptor issues at the same time as seeing nurses with time management issues. it all comes with TIME. i think next time you should think if you have meds that are due and...

  23. Should second-hand smoke be illegal in a home with children?

    backatit2 replied to starzrn's topic in General Nursing

    i didn't say smoking is awesome! i said smoking in the same home/building even if the kids aren't in the presence is a silly issue to consider flooding the police with or hauling people to jail...

  24. Should second-hand smoke be illegal in a home with children?

    backatit2 replied to starzrn's topic in General Nursing

    well, if i would've spent an hour reading every response then i might've known that! i'd be willing to bet that your children do and/or have done things that you don't know about. since when does...

  25. Should second-hand smoke be illegal in a home with children?

    backatit2 replied to starzrn's topic in General Nursing

    i know people who think parents shouldn't drink around children. i drink beer at home (and yes my kids know what it is) and i'll drink a beer when we're out at dinner and couldn't care less if anyone...
