  1. Is being a Male nurse weird?

    backatit2 replied to Daniel Floyd's topic in Men in Nursing

    there are some professions that are seen as female professions by society (nursing, teaching) and others that are seen as male professions (construction/truck driving) and all of those professions...

  2. Why So Long to Hear Back From Interview?

    backatit2 replied to redraider1977's topic in General Nursing

    i saw someone say they got a job offer after 3.5 weeks, but in MY experience - every job i've actually gotten, i've been hired on the spot or called back the same day or the next day. there was one...

  3. How hard is nursing school? Another question...

    backatit2 replied to wnb4's topic in General Students

    a traditional BSN program would take 4.5 years i suspect since i have a bachelor's degree in another field and with all my pre requisites (prob n stat/anatomy 1 and 2/microbioligy) it would still take...

  4. Does anyone else feel this way?

    backatit2 replied to Seth O Scope's topic in General Nursing

    i just find it odd that you feel this way toward supposed smokers or drinkers (although you seem to make quick judgements which may or may not be rational) about whether or not they were even smokers...

  5. Does anyone else feel this way?

    backatit2 replied to Seth O Scope's topic in General Nursing

    you know i think they've taken away the ability to go back and edit a post if it's been more than a few minutes. i was looking at a post i made just an hour or so ago and i saw no option to

  6. Does anyone else feel this way?

    backatit2 replied to Seth O Scope's topic in General Nursing

    wow - that's crazy. i wonder if she did learn anything. probably not - her own child probably had to get knocked up for her to change her tune. that's why i said karma is crazy. this student who has...

  7. RNs tell your hospitals to hire new grads

    backatit2 replied to DedHedRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    okay, so since CNA's are "only" taking care of people's children, mothers, and spouses instead of their big macs and fries - they shouldn't get paid as much as mcdonald's employees? stupid. oh - and...

  8. RNs tell your hospitals to hire new grads

    backatit2 replied to DedHedRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    CNA's are paid minimum wage at hospitals all day long. i say all the time how crazy it is that someone taking care of ill/hurt people makes less than someone starting out at mcdonald's. it's

  9. Does anyone else feel this way?

    backatit2 replied to Seth O Scope's topic in General Nursing

    oh, i forgot - youre the only one who can judge others based on a diagnosis like all those people who must've been heavy smokers if they got lung cancer. i can't change your mind. i can only hope at...

  10. Does anyone else feel this way?

    backatit2 replied to Seth O Scope's topic in General Nursing

    um, i'm basing it on what you SAID in your OP. anyway, you should reconsider your career choice.

  11. Does anyone else feel this way?

    backatit2 replied to Seth O Scope's topic in General Nursing

    you said you do not feel sad for people who brought this on themselves (except for obese people apparently who couldn't help but to get up to 500 lbs). they knew what they were doing - they had it...

    backatit2 replied to Seth O Scope's topic in General Nursing

    i don't think that's true nor

  13. Does anyone else feel this way?

    backatit2 replied to Seth O Scope's topic in General Nursing

    i think that's really sad and scary as hell. i have smokers in my family and i'd hate to think they didn't receive the same level of care/compassion (and please don't say they do) because they smoked...

  14. Nurses who steal narcotics....

    backatit2 replied to MouseMichelle's topic in General Nursing

    i agree - i've had issues with addiction in the past, and i hadn't planned on saying anything nor felt the urge to share my courageous story (lol) but it is a CHOICE. not to mention - like i said in...

  15. Nurses who steal narcotics....

    backatit2 replied to MouseMichelle's topic in General Nursing

    i've asked before and i was told NO - but i can't even remember if it was a doctor who i asked so i'm curious to see who

  16. RNs tell your hospitals to hire new grads

    backatit2 replied to DedHedRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    well, i personally think there's more to consider. i'd hire someone who had 2-3 years experience because they had to pay off student loans and/or support a family and would've been foolish to turn...

  17. RNs tell your hospitals to hire new grads

    backatit2 replied to DedHedRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    where i live there are more jobs than there are new grads. the schools can't graduate them fast enough - and hundreds get turned away after they apply. i got turned down from my first choice with a...

  18. Family just wants Grandma to die

    backatit2 replied to Platypus's topic in General Nursing

    ugh - see, the thought of how hurtful that would be to my kids (and how hurt i would be if i knew it was happening) would be much worse to me than just dying. if i'm to the point that i'm incontinent...

  19. RNs tell your hospitals to hire new grads

    backatit2 replied to DedHedRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    you're right - it doesn't, but neither does being unemployed. you have every right to be angry, depressed, bitter - all of those things that i was (and still am a little bit) but eventually you have...

  20. RNs tell your hospitals to hire new grads

    backatit2 replied to DedHedRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    education - and i COULD get a job if i would sell my house and move my family. i don't want to. i could say that "i can't get a job" but others that i graduated with have jobs - the ones who moved at...

  21. Nurses who steal narcotics....

    backatit2 replied to MouseMichelle's topic in General Nursing

    on the other hand - i've known addicts who even think people who steal from the elderly to get their fix are the scum of the earth. there IS another option (especially for an employed nurse) and that...

  22. RNs tell your hospitals to hire new grads

    backatit2 replied to DedHedRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    i'm not a nurse and i couldn't get a job with my degree either. guess what i'm doing after spending years in college? working for minimum wage! that wasn't the plan, but minimum wage is better than...

  23. RN/CNA dynamic where you work?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    thanks for the input. it's nice to know this isn't just the life of a CNA and something that i should get used to. i'm the type of person who will do things myself (even if i'm rushed for time) and...

  24. CNA shift for fulltime student and wife

    backatit2 replied to ELizabeth T's topic in General Nursing

    to each his own - but as someone who went through college and graduated while working and raising 2 very young kids alone (AND not having a free place to live) - i think it's funny when someone with a...

  25. What would YOU have done

    backatit2 replied to my4helpers's topic in General Nursing

    last week i had a young (early 30s) guy ringing his call light for 1)ice 2)another drink 3) salt 4) honey mustard 5) a rag to wipe his face 6) for me to look at his butt that was itching (no joke) and...
