  1. Nursing vs. Occupational Therapy vs. Speech Pathology

    backatit2 replied to RosePMHNP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i'm getting ready to get my BSN as a second degree. i had also considered the EXACT same fields you mentioned, but i chose nursing because i KNOW i can get a job the day i pass the N-CLEX. then, if i...

  2. I'm in my first semester of my BSN, not sure if I can do it.

    backatit2 replied to brielle776's topic in General Nursing

    i'll be starting school in a couple months for my BSN as a second degree/career. it's also an accelerated program so it only lasts 18 months (since i already have a degree/all my cores) and i've never...

  3. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

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

    i don't believe anyone who says they are NOT getting hired BECAUSE of the BSN while ADN friends are getting jobs. i believe someone with an ADN can get a job while someone with a BSN may not, but i...

  4. Time for some introspective criticism perhaps?

    backatit2 replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    most everyone i know would like to have your problem. here there is no option to get overtime and plenty of ppl would take it if there

  5. student assigned pt with respiratory MRSA

    backatit2 replied to jane850's topic in General Nursing

    do what makes YOU comfortable. i'm one of those people who wears gloves for EVERYTHING and i don't give a crap what anyone thinks. people think it's "no big deal" until they go to take a BP and a pt...

  6. Ever had a nursing instructor hate you?

    backatit2 replied to bustthewave's topic in General Students

    i think sometimes no matter what a good student you are (i'm a college grad who took a CNA course) there will always be people you just don't mesh with. for example, my CNA instructor didn't seem too...

  7. Caring for the Chart or the Patient?

    backatit2 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    i worked at a place (not in healthcare) where they would say "if it isn't written down, it wasn't done" and the running joke was "if it was written down, it was done." i know - it's bad, but the same...

  8. Starting Nursing salaries by State?

    backatit2 replied to ncaru01's topic in General Nursing

    east tennessee (big difference from west tennessee even as far as cost of living) - new grads start $18 per hour. ease of getting a job? pretty easy!! constant advertising for nursing scholarships...

  9. what to put in "desired salary" box when selection is required?

    backatit2 replied to janice_c67's topic in General Nursing

    i have also always written in "negotiable." even if there are boxes for you to check - you can write in across/above/below the boxes the word "negotiable." something else i've done is written...

  10. Should I call? Or inappropriate?

    backatit2 replied to smkiya's topic in General Nursing

    i wouldn't call. i would send in a resume/cover letter through the mail and tell your friend who is comfortable enough with the manager to give out his/her information to put in a good word for you. i...

  11. Verbal assault by a pt.

    backatit2 replied to imintrouble's topic in General Nursing

    i think it's easier for people to "open up" to those they feel less threatened by - whether what they are "opening up" about is good or bad. if a patient is angry with the doctor, they'll take it out...

  12. help! nurse or not! i need opinions

    backatit2 replied to heatherd65's topic in General Nursing

    there's a reason that nursing is such a "popular" profession - and it's not just the money. i'm working on my second degree in nursing and i've enjoyed the experience i've gotten so far. i wish i...

  13. Should I quit nursing school...?

    backatit2 replied to jfisher23's topic in General Nursing

    EVERYONE was hit hard by the economy, but the fact is that nurses and other healthcare providers were not affected as much as other professions. of course, jobs still got affected and people who lost...

  14. fired maybe i'll go into elementary school teaching....

    backatit2 replied to WindyhillBSN's topic in General Nursing

    so, they think what you did was HORRIBLE, but told you to reapply after your baby is born? you also said you're about to get your BSN. sounds fishy to me. maybe they were looking for a reason to get...

  15. How many more interviews?

    backatit2 replied to UpinawayRN's topic in General Nursing

    maybe it's between you and one other person. maybe they think you have other interviews and are dragging it out to see if you will take a job somewhere else or wait it out because you want to go with...

  16. I'm such a hypocrit.

    backatit2 replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    when i was younger i used to work double shifts at a fast food joint all the time and it seemed like someone was ALWAYS taking a smoke break. every now and then i would just go to the back, take a...

  17. Student Loan Defaulters ONLY

    backatit2 replied to Spode's topic in General Nursing

    you could have a full time job and get those bonus PRN hours that pay much more WHEN you are off work from your other job. bottom line - where there's a will, there's a way. it may not be the EASY...

  18. Hooters as Job History...Could this hurt my chances of getting a job?

    backatit2 replied to AMD88's topic in Nursing Career

    funny - i had never been either and my husband and i were driving around talking about where to go when we saw a Hooters and he said, "how about Hooters?" i was like, "okay, let's go there. i've...

  19. A question about being a black male CNA

    backatit2 replied to Miwila's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    i would think if a patient didn't want you to do peri care, they probably wouldn't want a MALE (of any race) doing it. i would rather have a female do peri care on me if i were in that situation, and...

  20. CNA A Horror Story

    backatit2 replied to rocknroll01's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    it would be so nice if everyone just helped each other out. imagine how much more pleasant it would be if CNAs teamed up to bathe, turn, etc. things would get done so much faster and more efficiently,...

  21. Hooters as Job History...Could this hurt my chances of getting a job?

    backatit2 replied to AMD88's topic in Nursing Career

    i just wouldn't put it down at all. if i were hiring, i wouldn't think anything was wrong with it, but there's a lot of things i don't see a problem with that would have the holy roller types turning...

  22. wearing makeup to work?

    backatit2 replied to meghan91's topic in General Nursing

    most of the girls I know who "won't leave the house without make-up" don't look good without it - one reason being that everyone is used to seeing them with it, but the other reason being that they...

  23. wearing makeup to work?

    backatit2 replied to meghan91's topic in General Nursing

    i think it's really sad that so many women "won't leave the house without makeup." that's really a huge lack of self esteem. i can understand if there is scarring or some skin condition trying to be...

  24. <NEW GRAD for a year now, NO JOB!

    backatit2 replied to Winnie93's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    unless she's going to a really, really expensive school - a year of nursing school costs WAY less than a year of

  25. <NEW GRAD for a year now, NO JOB!

    backatit2 replied to Winnie93's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    SHE said (she being the poster): "The hospitals are saying they need BSN or a year of experience in so and so field." just because there are people on this board who can't get jobs even with a BSN...
