  1. Nervous!

    ijuanabhappy replied to LDRNMOMMY's topic in Ob/Gyn

    With over two years of experience in the same area, I am sure you will do fine. Seven months really is not that long and it will come back to you. Plus, each place of employment is different from...

  3. She is sleeping with a patient.............

    ijuanabhappy replied to fournee's topic in General Nursing

    It is not your position to delve into her past. Unless it is adversely affecting patient care, I would say leave things be. If she is going to hang herself, she will do it with her own rope. I'd...

  5. Thinking of Nursing School.....?????

    ijuanabhappy replied to student8520's topic in General Nursing

    When I first attempted college many years ago, I had a lot of bad grades on my transcript from not withdrawing from courses and receiving "F"'s. I just didn't care at that time in my life and did not...

  6. Am I to old?

    ijuanabhappy replied to Patrick57's topic in General Nursing

    You are not too old. I am just starting an RN program at 39. At my orientation there were a lot of older students in their 50's and even 60's. Life is a journey with many experiences. Age is just...

  7. Is there ANY department in nursing that I can avoid cleaning up poo?

    ijuanabhappy replied to Future-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I went to orientation yesterday for an RN program that I start this fall. One thing we were told is that there are a lot of sue-happy people in the world and it is becoming increasingly common to sue...

  8. Is this letter alright?

    ijuanabhappy replied to BiologyNerd's topic in General Nursing

    To Whom It May Concern: I am very interested in becoming a registered nurse and plan on starting my pre-nursing program at Valdosta State University this fall. It is my understanding that South...

  9. Is there ANY department in nursing that I can avoid cleaning up poo?

    ijuanabhappy replied to Future-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I am starting a nursing program this fall. I think a lot of people first starting out are just a little apprehensive because it is something foreign to them. I am worried about it myself. Not that...

  10. AnyOne Applying to Grayson??

    ijuanabhappy replied to 2bNurseArrica's topic in Texas Nursing

    Have you thought about applying to their RN

  11. Know any good online med office courses?

    ijuanabhappy replied to beachmom's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know of any online courses but I thought I would respond anyway. I have worked in the medical field (clerical) since the age of 20. I am now 39 and going to nursing school. The best thing to...

  12. Appointment question

    ijuanabhappy replied to eugene8448's topic in General Nursing

    It all depends on your insurance. If you have a PPO, most likely you can go to whomever you want without a referral from your primary, but each plan is different you will have to check. If you are...

  13. Nurses on Antidepressants?

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    I realize that, and I already have a physician (psychiatrist) that I see. I was just conversating with the other poster on what worked for

  14. Nurses on Antidepressants?

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    May I ask which one? You don't have to reply if that is too personal. I am thinking about trying Paxil again. I have tried them

  15. Nurses on Antidepressants?

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    I heard that Lexapro is a more pure form of Celexa? Do you think there is a difference between them? I think I tried both for a very short period of time. I probably did not give it a chance...

  16. Nurses on Antidepressants?

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    I think I would be exactly like that as well.... too many tasks would make my head spin and concentration shot and I too would crumble under stress. I wish I could take Wellbutrin but it makes me...

  17. Nurses on Antidepressants?

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    I think I might have many years ago tried Paxil for a short time but I do not remember. I know they all make me yawn for some odd reason. Zoloft I believed made me tired. Prozac worked for awhile...

  18. Nurses on Antidepressants?

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I have tried both of those. Wellbutrin is definitely not for me, as it tends to make me way more anxious and hyper. I don't "not" take them because of some stigma. I could care less about...

  19. Nurses on Antidepressants?

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    I do have an actual psychiatrist. The reason he had put me on Lamictal is because all of the SSRIs make me yawn all of the time and either make me too tired or too sleepy. He usually leaves it up to...

  20. Nurses on Antidepressants?

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    I realize that a lot of people take antidepressants and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Since I am not a nurse yet, I just did not know how they affect cognitive function dealing with...

  21. At age 39, should I start nursing program?

    ijuanabhappy posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had asked this question awhile back about going into nursing but did not get many replies, so I am rephrasing it. Do you think at age 39, I should start this ADN program I have been accepted into?...

  22. At age 39, should I start nursing program?

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    The reason I ask is because I had a friend named Julian that I called Jules. I also know the name Jules is popular in England. Nice name!

  23. At age 39, should I start nursing program?

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Jules! I have seen you on some other posts. I think your name is really cool too. Is it short for

  24. At age 39, should I start nursing program?

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations on starting the program this fall! It sounds like you have a lot of medical experience to bring to the table too. If I do go through with this, I too, was considering an RN-BSN or...

  25. At age 39, should I start nursing program?

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your honesty and sharing your story. I feel for you about your father. My father dropped dead at age 51 of an arrhythmia also. I'm always thinking that is going to happen to me! I am...
