   BeHappy! posted a topic in General Nursing

   Here's the story of what happened to me this past Thursday. I work in a Pediatrician's office. I was reaching for a notebook that we pull out of a bookcase hung on the wall at least 5-6 times a day and the whole thing came out of the wall and came cr...

   BeHappy! replied to lookingforward's topic in General Nursing

   Wow, that's a really poor way to enter the nursing profession. To help someone who may not be able to help themselves is what nursing is all about.

5. higher pay for BSN grads?

   BeHappy! replied to evans_c1's topic in ADN/BSN

   OK folks...bottom line, GREAT NEED for RN's. The need is so large many healthcare provider's chose not to hire only BSN's as opposed to ADN's because they are so short staffed. Also, many nurses are second career nurses and have a Bachelor's in ano...

7. new nurse on orientation,questions?

   BeHappy! replied to fredyjen's topic in General Nursing

   I wouldn't worry about finding another job. Most nurses have been through this and know it's about finding the right fit for you. Look into other avenues of nursing and make sure in your next interview not to tell them you don't like a fast paced e...

8. Need advice on leaving nursing!

   BeHappy! replied to HealthyRN's topic in General Nursing

   You do sound unhappy thus far, maybe you should take some time off to think about some things. Take your time. Don't try to lose one identity and pick up another too quickly. I would suggest to look into other avenues of nursing before pursuing so...

10. higher pay for BSN grads?

    BeHappy! replied to evans_c1's topic in ADN/BSN

    I do agree there needs to be some middle ground...but, there are also RN's out there that have previous Bachelor's degrees in another field. Bachelor's = research is what I have been told by professors which divides ADN and BSN RN's. So that being ...

13. Not passing at 75?

    BeHappy! replied to NKL39's topic in NCLEX

    Well, when I graduated nursing school, two of my friends both ended at the 75th question. One passed, one failed...so who knows...don't stress it too much. Go do something fun after all that hard work! I'm sure you did great!

14. What is with some residents in hospitals????

    BeHappy! replied to KellieNurse06's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely say something. She needs to practicing medicine safely. Never should you go from an infected eye into an uninfected eye. She probably felt silly when told to stop and her pride got in the way, not good. I would talk to your reg...

15. "I work harder than a nurse in a hospital."

    BeHappy! replied to control's topic in General Nursing

    It seems that people always like to feel they are doing "more" than others as some sort of validation for themselves. Nurses tend to eat their own kind if you know what I mean. I have worked in the hospital as well as an office. The hours and phys...
