  1. Studying pharm before nursing school?

    happy2learn replied to bewitched's topic in General Students

    I'm allowed to, and fully plan on, taking pharm before I start clinical. I'm taking all of the non-clinical classes before I start clinical (this is what I do while waiting.) I plan on taking pharm...

  2. Microbiology

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

    I love Micro! Just finished my last exam and am proud to have an "A." I thought it was more difficult than A&P. My best resource was notes my professor provided. One was lecture notes and the...

  3. Have anxiety issues over making friends

    happy2learn replied to krazykchan's topic in General Students

    You'll be fine. You see like a nice person. Just stay away from the meanies and the lazies.

  4. Have anxiety issues over making friends

    happy2learn replied to krazykchan's topic in General Students

    Sometimes having friends in class make it harder. For example, if a friend isn't doing well, you feel the need to help them, but sometimes you just don't have the time, then they get mad at you. Or...

  5. Weak Stomach

    happy2learn replied to mississippigirl3000's topic in General Students

    Isn't it funny how so many different people have their own different things that bother them? I have a friend (not going into nursing) who gets weak at the sight of veins. I would show her my wrist,...

  6. FASFA info for returning RN-BSN student

    happy2learn replied to gabrielle76's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure they do check. But I think it's more to see if you are delinquent on one of their loans, or to see if you are in an active bankruptcy. Eh, not your fault! Man, you'd really think the...

  7. Failed my CNA skills... I need encouragement please

    happy2learn replied to NICU Kristen's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Don't feel awful. I probably wouldn't have passed without the packet either! They are quite picky on the steps, how they are done, and the order they want them done it. You have the packet now....

  8. FASFA info for returning RN-BSN student

    happy2learn replied to gabrielle76's topic in General Nursing

    Federal Stafford loans are not based on your credit score. Private loans are based on your credit. I have wretched credit, so does my hubby. That's not an exaggeration either. If they were credit...

  9. Private School or Community College?! Please Help

    happy2learn replied to swtcaligurl's topic in General Students

    I'd at least take some courses at the community college before attending a private school. People at my school complain about the waitlist (2 years). But I'm able to take BSN courses while waiting as...

  10. Weak Stomach

    happy2learn replied to mississippigirl3000's topic in General Students

    Poo and vomit smell gets me. No sight bothers me. No sound either. I could stare right at it, no problem. But once I get that whiff, it's an instant gag reaction. I've tried training my gag reflex,...

  11. Best step towards DNP

    happy2learn replied to eggman's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You typically give a kudos if you like a post. Pretty much it. Be careful about overpriced private RN programs. If you're goal is to be a DNP, I would highly suggest you spend less on the RN degree as...

  12. Quitting a $$$ job to go back to school... Should I?!?

    happy2learn replied to mm1294's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sales. Totally get why you hate it. Apply for scholarships and then get loans if need be. I'm using loans, but my school is cheap and we live cheap so we're not racking up a ton of debt. I also go to...

  13. FASFA info for returning RN-BSN student

    happy2learn replied to gabrielle76's topic in General Nursing

    Here's a calculator, but of course it's only an estimate http://www.finaid.org/calculators/finaidestimate.phtml You'll have to apply to really know what you can get. It took me all of 10 minutes to...

    happy2learn replied to bd4411sa's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still in school. The quarter doesn't end for another week and a half. Just finished my last A&P 3 exam and still have 2 more in other classes to go. Not every school lets out for the summer....

  17. Fiber and how it effects the GI Tract

    happy2learn replied to bd4411sa's topic in General Nursing

    It would really be better if you googled this information, if you're having a hard time understanding it in the textbook. I wouldn't suggest coming on this website looking for answers to homework...

  18. Current Undergraduate Student Wishing to Pursue a BSN but Does Not Have an RN Degree

    happy2learn replied to Val A.'s topic in General Nursing

    There are two programs at SUNY - one that is accelerated which is for people who already hold a Bachelor's, and the other is an RN-BSN program. College of Nursing: Admissions You didn't read it wrong....

    happy2learn replied to Hermitess's topic in Emergency

    Small world Tracey! I'm a volunteer in at the Level 1 Trauma Center in Cincy! I know, the job market here stinks. Most of the jobs I found "prefer" certain types of experience, but not required. Here...

  20. best way to improve resume as a new grad?

    happy2learn replied to CVmursenary's topic in General Nursing

    Externship will be better than a CNA job, IMO. It will look great for you to be working with a nurse directly, rather than doing the CNA duties. While it won't give you nursing experience,...

    happy2learn replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    happy2learn replied to Tonya7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Biology and Chemistry are both pre-reqs for A&P at my school. I didn't have to take Bio or Chem since they allowed it to transfer from high school. We also don't need College Algebra for my ADN...

    happy2learn replied to skybmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't seen anyone at my hospital wear them, but I'm not there too often. I think they are gorgeous!! Definitely a bit jealous I must say. Of course, many of them have gorgeous hair too. There...

    happy2learn replied to melgrek's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse, but I would be uncomfortable if someone took a picture of my badge. My badge has my picture and full name on it
