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

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

    wouldn't it be worth getting a loan to go ahead and get the BSN? i mean, a year has passed with no job offer which could've been a year of your BSN behind you already. it's something to

  2. What is the silliest thing you've heard a nurse say?

    backatit2 replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Nursing

    OMG - you guys need to CHILL OUT. i really don't think there's malicious intent -

  3. young mom, nursing school, job can i do it?

    backatit2 replied to thinkbe4youink's topic in General Nursing

    i'm surprised that most people are saying to wait. yes, it's HARD, but it CAN be done. you just have to really, really want it. i was a single mom when i first started college. i was living on my own...

  4. School secretary administring meds???

    backatit2 replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    Actually I do have children, but I'm not the one complaining about needing a professional to give a neb treatment. If she's not satisfied with the reasonable accomidation they HAVE made then yes she...

  5. School secretary administring meds???

    backatit2 replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    i don't see why he would need a treatment during school every day unless the parent just didn't want to do it. whoever said it's not rocket science is correct - my 1-2 year old pretty much gave them...

    backatit2 replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    i'm actually going to be having it paid for through a scholarship at the hospital - they pay and i sign a contract to work for them for 3 years. that's good for me bc i wanted to work there after...

  7. Angry mom made me cry last week

    backatit2 replied to MA Nurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    i completed a feedback form and returned it after my son was brought home from NICU bc of the way the nurses acted during shift change. i was NOT one of those parents that was always visiting. i...

  8. RN vs. LPN scope conflict: what would you do?

    backatit2 replied to LuxCalidaNP's topic in General Nursing

    they're probably (at least one or some of them) not comfortable doing things outside of their scope, but do it anyway bc they're also not comfortable saying NO when they're told to do something. i'm...

  9. Is it wrong...

    backatit2 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    we can agree to disagree. if someone isn't cut out for it, they aren't going to stay no matter what the pay in any profession. you have to have some level of compassion for others, but "helping...

  10. Is it wrong...

    backatit2 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    i'm taking a CNA class now (my BSN program starts in may) partly because i need a job as you said, and partly because i want to get out on the floor and see if it's something i truly want to do....

  11. Anybody wanna take a stab at this quesiton

    backatit2 replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

    if you'll spend as much time studying as you do trying to get help on this forum, you'll do fine in that class - i

  12. Assisted Living Nurses

    backatit2 replied to grateful2010's topic in General Nursing

    i'm not even a nurse yet, but my great grandmother is in an assisted living facility. i would say there is probably a huge difference. for one thing, the cost of her facility comes out of her pocket...

  13. Is it wrong...

    backatit2 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    i'm working on my BSN as a second degree. every time i tell someone that they say, is it because you couldn't get a job? well, yes, that's partly the reason. if i could've gotten a job with my other...

  14. "She will not die. She does not have that permission from me."

    backatit2 replied to pockunit's topic in General Nursing

    you're definitely digging a little deep here. as part of the "i'm not a nurse yet and have no bias" general population - i found the statement to be very encouraging, uplifting, etc. he was "joking"...

  15. opinions about 1 year "2nd degree" BSN nursing programs

    backatit2 replied to pghfoxfan's topic in General Nursing

    i'll be starting a 2nd degree program in the summer, and it's an 18 month program. 1 year seems like it would be tough. however, i can see why she would want to do it. going to college for 6 years to...

  16. A Passionate Note in Support of All Night Shift Health Care Staff

    backatit2 replied to Hockeydoll88's topic in General Nursing

    :) only in a perfect world will nurses respect each other for what they do. i'm not a nurse (yet) but i WANT to work night shift. not because it's "easier" but because i have children and i would...

  17. Honest Mistake, Re: Paycheck

    backatit2 replied to Nurse0621's topic in General Nursing

    it's not that big of a deal. if you cashed the check, spent it, and never said a word that could be an issue. if you tell them, that's being honest. they will cancel the other check and issue a new...

  18. let go 6 wks into 10 wks orientation...is it fair?

    backatit2 replied to maman2zoe's topic in General Nursing

    i'm sorry! that sucks. i would just put it behind you. i know it's hard, but it's probably nothing you did - or didn't do. after i graduated college, i got a min. wage job at a loan place bc i...

    backatit2 replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    have you looked to see if any school offer a 2nd degree program? i have a BS and the school i'm going to has a BSN program specifically for people who have another degree. i will have a BSN in less...

  20. overqualified/cna job?

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

    i've considered doing this too. i've applied for several jobs that pay minimum wage (not CNA) and never got call backs. i NEVER had trouble getting a job before. in fact, this is the first time i...

  21. overqualified/cna job?

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

    i have a BS and a teaching license. i'm the only one in my CNA class who graduated from college - several students are IN school, but none have finished. i don't think it will hurt my chances to get a...

  22. Becoming friends with patients?

    backatit2 replied to kablo's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    that's horrible. was she able to do much financial damage with the contents of your purse? really, not to be mean, but i don't think not leaving your purse behind in a public place (especially with a...

  23. Microbiology Lab Virtual Unknown

    backatit2 replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing
