  1. Would you work a shift as an aide?

    happy2learn replied to AF_BOUND's topic in General Nursing

    You're too

  2. Nursing School Background Check

    happy2learn replied to tmd1my's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely not. Your credit will not stop you from getting into school. Yes, some employers check credit, but that still does not mean that bad credit will stop you from getting a job. Many times...

  3. Nursing school: Bizarre practice in learning to bed bath..

    happy2learn replied to Cat_RN's topic in General Students

    We didn't have to do this for my nurse aide class, and we won't be learning bed baths in nursing school since we all are nurse aides. We did partial bed baths, which felt very weird. Though I thought...

  4. Have to share laundry facilities, washing scrubs?

    happy2learn replied to krazykchan's topic in General Students

    Detergent kills many microbes. You are using detergent to wash your clothes, and so would the people using it after you. I wouldn't waste the money on a bleach cycle. I don't see any reason why you...

  5. Does anyone get their books unbound?

    happy2learn replied to my3suns's topic in General Students

    I purchased my A&P book unbound. I loved it! I could just take what we were learning with me. It was a back saver. I would definitely consider unbinding them and then binding them in the spiral...

  6. 4.0 in pre reqs difficulty

    happy2learn replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't spend hours studying at one time. I break my study times up into mini sessions. For myself, I get tired and don't retain information if I just sit and study for hours. Sorry, but I always...

  7. I'm allergic to.....(laundry list)!

    happy2learn replied to AOx1's topic in General Nursing

    Curious, what did she say when she was told there was no such thing as a potassium allergy? I bet that was an interesting

  8. Would you work a shift as an aide?

    happy2learn replied to AF_BOUND's topic in General Nursing

    Totally didn't prove her wrong, eriksoln...... LOL! I'm glad this thread got completely off track. It's great to go from "suck it! lalalalalalalal" to "I fart in your general

  9. What other careers did you consider?

    happy2learn replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in General Nursing

    Fashion Designer, Music Teacher, Financial Advisor, Psychologist, Dental Hygienist, Radiation Therapist, Social Worker, Diagnostic Medical

  10. 4.0 in pre reqs difficulty

    happy2learn replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's what they say, per week. So a 3 credit course they will say you should study for 9 hours per week. I don't really know anyone who studies for 9 hours a week on every class though. English will...

  11. Nurses with depression

    happy2learn replied to grandmawrinkle's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I don't have depression and never have. However, I truly do believe it is a serious, legitimate problem and I really feel for those people who just can't seem to get the help they need that works for...

  12. Sketchers for clinicals?

    happy2learn replied to VVCN2012's topic in General Students

    I've seen nurses and aides wearing them. They seem to like them. I've also seem some wear the Reebok Easy

  13. 4.0 in pre reqs difficulty

    happy2learn replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Its going to depend on the teacher. If you have a great teacher, it will not be difficult. If you have a crappy teacher, then it's going to be a lot of work. Though I will agree that it is likely...

  14. I'm allergic to.....(laundry list)!

    happy2learn replied to AOx1's topic in General Nursing

    I apologize, but I'm going to go completely off topic. Your name is hilarious. :igtsyt: Sorry bout that, carry on.....

  15. Would you work a shift as an aide?

    happy2learn replied to AF_BOUND's topic in General Nursing

    I swear mine has a special section in his brain reserved for funny movie quotes.... seriously. Oh and he'll quote lines from commercials and tv shows too. LOL! Who you callin a cootie queen you lint...

  16. Would you work a shift as an aide?

    happy2learn replied to AF_BOUND's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't recognize it without the first sentence. lol. That's a great one. My husband just uses the first line though....... "I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your...

  17. Hi, just want to introduce myself!!!

  18. Would you work a shift as an aide?

    happy2learn replied to AF_BOUND's topic in General Nursing

    LOL! The "quoting movie lines" thing does seem to be more of a male thing, at least from my experience. My hubby does it...... quite often. Although, I'm seeing a lot of females quoting "The...

  19. I'm allergic to.....(laundry list)!

    happy2learn replied to AOx1's topic in General Nursing

    People just need to be honest and explain why they absolutely do not want a certain medication, instead of saying it's an allergy. I would hope, that like in the instance mamamerlee described, that...

  20. how to get motivated for pre reqs

    happy2learn replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't find any of these classes hard, neither A&P. It just depends on the student. Psychology wasn't hard, though my teacher stunk. It was online and a lot of work though. But again, that was...

  21. I'm allergic to.....(laundry list)!

    happy2learn replied to AOx1's topic in General Nursing

    I 100% agree with the first part and the main point of your post, however... My husband despises tomatoes. It doesn't matter how many times he tells them to not put in tomatoes, they do 95% of the...

  22. Would you work a shift as an aide?

    happy2learn replied to AF_BOUND's topic in General Nursing

    That cracked me up! OP, you will find life easier if you work as a team, instead of forcing other people to give up their assignments because you feel you are "above" aide duties. What a crappy...

  23. Should I become a Nurse?

    happy2learn replied to Bora's topic in General Nursing

    That's what they tell people. But MANY people work part time or even full time while in nursing school. It just depends on what that person can handle or what other obligations they

  24. I'm allergic to.....(laundry list)!

    happy2learn replied to AOx1's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is a great point. I'm sure many don't know the difference. Any unpleasant side effect probably make many assume they have an allergy. My husband is allergic to all of the Beta Lactam...

  25. Back to work after a loss of pregnancy...

    happy2learn replied to Elvish's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm so sorry for your loss. :hug: My prayers are with
