The "F" word

[JENNIFER7375 3]

do you work in a hospital or nursing home?

[Unforgettable 0]

hospital, how about you?

[JENNIFER7375 3]

neither . i work for a home care company called Bayada. mostly vent patients. i could do a hospital but i'd rather be shot than ever work in a nursing home again

Peds or adults? I never had the pleasure of a nursing home and hope I never do!! The thought of taking care of adults in general turns me off

[JENNIFER7375 3]

peds and young adults. mean as it may sound i hated geriatrics. just wasnt my thing. i only did that for a year and a half. i hated it!! but i have to say i really like my job now. but im so gonna get the dumb b**ch that called off tonight. this week has sucked

[Unforgettable 0]

I hated geriatrics in school, would have never gone into nursing if I had to do that. It's just so different. Glad you like you're job! Sorry your week has sucked. I'm charge nurse and we've had lots of call offs lately...must be that time of the year.

[JENNIFER7375 3]

Hey I start nursing school in 3 weeks!

I'm glad there are people who will do Nursing, lol. I was going for it at one point. I started working as a CNA and hated it with a passion.

I went from the medical field all the way to computers. I'm now going to school for Software Engineering.

Congrats Carrie! It will be tough work but definitely worth it in the end. Until I graduated in May 2006, my life was consumed with nothing but nursing school and vowed I would never go back. Now I'm going for my masters, go figure lol

And Holli, I'm glad someone is willing to do computers! lol At least you were able to find out that it wasn't a fit for you before starting school.

[JENNIFER7375 3]

i keep thinking i want to go back to school. i just need to find the time. probably CRNP

[Unforgettable 0]

I don't necessarily want to go back lol I just know what some years down the road I'll be glad I did. For now I will still plan on being a staff RN, just will have my MSN on top of that. I'm not too interested in becoming an NP. University of Phoenix is a 19 month program, you take only one call every 6 weeks and it's all online, or you can do a local campus if you'd like.

I hate, "big-boned"! WTH is that??? My bones are my bones...what's "big" is the FAT hanging off them!!

O.k so this one is going to sound a little harsh and I'm shocked I havent heard anyone mention it just yet. BBW big beautiful woman this term just makes me cringe. I have seen some rather unatractive women label themselves this. Oh yeah and then there is SSBBW that is Super Size BBW WTF.. Seriously why would somebody label themselves that. I have no problem with people being comfortable in their skin. But it just sickens me that there are some people who know they are doomed to an early grave due to their weight and eating habits and choose to do nothing to address it.
