  1. Can I ask to work exclusively day shifts?

    kassiahgp posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am going to start my nursing program in the fall. I know down the road I will be applying for my first nursing job, but I am a single mom. Normally, I wouldn't be picky about my work schedule, and...

    kassiahgp posted a topic in Critical Care

    What was your first nursing job and where are you now? Pros and Cons of each job? Were you picky about what kind of job you had right off the bat or did you narrow your focus later

  5. BSN bigotry

    kassiahgp replied to Delilahdj's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    On a side note I hate when hospitals and nursing homes get rid of seasoned CNAs and Nurses. It makes me nervous working with a bunch of

  6. BSN bigotry

    kassiahgp replied to Delilahdj's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think in OP's case experience should keep them relevant to their career. If it was a new grad with OP's type of degree and no experience then I might understand the employer's perspective. I hope...

  7. BSN bigotry

    kassiahgp replied to Delilahdj's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm really interested in what you are talking about but I can't keep up with the lingo. I am about to embark on Nursing school where I will hopefully come out with an RN, BSN. Can you explain in a...

  8. Taking A&P 1 and 2 this summer

    kassiahgp replied to kateclapp's topic in General Students

    If you are willing to put the time in, you can do it! I am a TA for anatomy and physiology 1&2. Make quizlets, buy the online access for your textbook (something like Mastering A&P). Go to...

    kassiahgp replied to kassiahgp's topic in General Nursing

    I don't want to give too much information about myself on this website but I am in a location in Georgia where I can comfortably apply to jobs in Metro Atlanat or Rural Georgia. Does anyone know how...

  11. Can I ask to work exclusively day shifts?

    kassiahgp replied to kassiahgp's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't asking for a pity party. I wanted to know what was realistic as a new grad, and why-ideally- I would like day shifts. I don't need to be humbled because I don't feel entitled to day shifts....

  12. Are CNAs being phased out?

    kassiahgp replied to g_majied CNA,PC's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Where I live you don't have to be a CNA to work as one in a nursing home or assisted living facility- they call them RAs (Resident Assistants). If you want to have the ability to pass meds you must...

  13. ICU, Pros Cons, What to expect?

    kassiahgp replied to kassiahgp's topic in Critical Care

    not that Med Surg is easy or doesn't hold prestige but I was also surprised by this. Perhaps it is because SO many want to try it

  15. ICU, Pros Cons, What to expect?

    kassiahgp replied to kassiahgp's topic in Critical Care

    But if you look at my original question I'm asking about the ICU. I never said I agree with my instructors. I never said I'm dead set on ICU. I just wanted to know about others experiences. I'm...

    kassiahgp replied to Mamasalsera's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is the order I am taking mine: A&P 1/2 in a split session (which means normally they are separate semesters but I squeezed them into 1. I guess like an accelerated course) Chem (principles)...

  22. Question for Planning Ahead

    kassiahgp replied to gvillegas's topic in General Students

    This may not be helpful to you. I did a 2 month accelerated CNA program and it was all day everyday except weekends. We had clinicals a hour away from our school and they lasted the same amount of...

  23. What was your first Nursing job?

    kassiahgp replied to kassiahgp's topic in General Nursing

    How do you like Geriatrics? I loved working in Memory Care as a CNA, but I like to have a bit of surprise at work and working in Geri-care was rather predictable. Is this your experience or

  24. Can I ask to work exclusively day shifts?

    kassiahgp replied to kassiahgp's topic in General Nursing

    I know this question seemed dumb, and I kind of knew what most of the answers would be. I get what a lot of people are saying, and yes I will need to pay my dues before I can be at the top of the...
