  1. Time to call a duck a duck?

    backatit2 replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    yeah, i guess teachers aren't professionals either since they have to answer to administration, huh? they just have to pretend to

  2. Need advice/tips on being a good charge nurse

    backatit2 replied to scherie88's topic in General Nursing

    if it gets to the point where you have to say that, you've done something wrong! making a snide remark like that is a good way to find yourself ALONE with 65 residents "you cannot possibly manage"...

  3. Need advice/tips on being a good charge nurse

    backatit2 replied to scherie88's topic in General Nursing

    that's where the answer

  4. Time to call a duck a duck?

    backatit2 replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    well, they can't really line up every applicant and test their nursing skills before they even have the skills. unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) they have to have SOME...

  6. School giving me bad reputation...

    backatit2 replied to patricianyc's topic in First Year After Licensure

    are you POSITIVE it's someone from the school telling them they wouldn't hire you? unfortunately, i've had friends who i wouldn't put on my personal reference list because (as sad as it is, and as...

  7. So Far it has been Disappointing

    backatit2 replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This sounds good in theory, but in reality - there are too many nurses without jobs and new grads for a strike to really make a difference. They will be THRILLED to take the jobs of the nurses who go...

  8. Time to call a duck a duck?

    backatit2 replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    you're turning it into something it isn't. my husband is a "tradesperson," but he's not responsible for people's LIVES. he's great at what HE does, but if he couldn't pass the classes and exams...

  9. facebook "stalking" as a nurse?

    backatit2 replied to meghan91's topic in General Nursing

    i agree with you 100% i was a teacher and i didn't get to hide my name. is it REALLY necessary that students, parents, or anyone in general know ANY professional's last name? i guess they wouldn't...

  10. Time to call a duck a duck?

    backatit2 replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    EVERY profession could be learned through on the job experience and considered a "labor" or "trade." i was a teacher. do i think i could've learned to teach without spending 4 years in college? yes....

  11. giving report

    backatit2 replied to melisgood's topic in General Nursing

    no, it shouldn't be done in front of patients - not that i said it should. here's an example for you: posted by BluegrassRN: Him: "Hmm, this interesting, (as he scanned what he wrote down) you seemed...

  12. giving report

    backatit2 replied to melisgood's topic in General Nursing

    just for the heck of it, what if he is just joking with you? only you know his tone/demeanor, etc., but the part where you said he's like, "hmm (scans the sheet) it seems like you've told me...

  13. Need some advice...fast

    backatit2 replied to blessed2bfree's topic in General Nursing

    i would go. i'm in tennessee and all the schools are closed around here. the hospitals are not. i think if you don't show up, they'll take that as you won't show up if they were to employee you. i...

  14. I have my Bachelor's of Science and am getting my ADN now...Need YOUR Advice

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

    are you sure there isn't an accelerated BSN program in your area? i have a BS as well, and when i decided to become a RN - it was FASTER for me to get my BSN than it was to get my ADN because there's...

  15. RN assigned as a CNA

    backatit2 replied to myree72's topic in General Nursing

    i start an 18 month BSN program in may (it's my second degree), but i'm taking a CNA course right now which i'll test for in march. i hope to be able to get a job after the course and at least work...

  16. RN assigned as a CNA

    backatit2 replied to myree72's topic in General Nursing

    i think it's a little scary that a RN wouldn't know what to do as a CNA. what if a CNA started vomiting and had to leave, or they themselves weren't sure of what to do? aren't they supposed to be able...

  17. CNA's/PCT's how much do you make?

    backatit2 replied to Karen06's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This is very true. I'm not a nurse yet, but I was told by HR that the local hospital pays $18 an hour to new RNs. Compared to many other parts of the country, that is very low, but it's a higher wage...

  18. What does your username mean?

    backatit2 replied to LifesAJourney's topic in Nursing Humor

    That's funny! When I was 4 or 5, I wanted my name to be Lisa sooo bad and would tell everyone when they called my real name, "MY NAME IS LIIISA!" My stepdad did a little "magic" and changed my name to...

  19. People in healthcare should speak Spanish, she said

    backatit2 replied to Paulie G's topic in General Nursing

    Due to budget cuts, this class isn't happening anymore, but they were having kindergarten - 5th grade students take Spanish every day. I realize a lot of people would see that as a great thing, but as...

  20. Applying for jobs aggressively?

    backatit2 replied to eaRNed's topic in General Nursing

    well, i'm not who you're looking to hear from. i'm in school working on my BSN as a second career - but i have applied for a lot of jobs with the local hospitals ranging from patient care techs to...

  21. Another nurse bites the dust due to facebook

    backatit2 replied to siringe's topic in Nursing News

    i have seen stories of people being fired/punished over facebook that i thought were ridiculous. this is not one of them. she is STUPID! when i was working on my teaching degree, i read about a...

  22. accidental fingerstick

    backatit2 replied to chiuli's topic in General Nursing

    i think it's silly to debate whether it's a possibilit or not - there is ALWAYS a possibility. should she worry? well, it's easy to say "no" unless it's happened to you. i'd like to say, "don't worry...

  23. What do you get from BSN?

    backatit2 replied to DC Collins's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    that is one of the silliest things i've ever read on this board. i can't say that i've ever heard - even though i'm a BSN

  24. RODP Micro Biology ?

    backatit2 replied to deviousz28's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    you have to buy the book and also a lab CD - mine were around $250 all together. i'm going to put mine up for sale sometime for $150 if you're interested, send me a message. most of the exams were 50...

  25. RODP Micro Biology ?

    backatit2 replied to deviousz28's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    all of the tests are online. the only ones that are proctored are the midterm and the final - you have to go to school and take it online with someone supervising. for the tests you take at home,...
