  1. When a loved one is admitted...

    happy2learn replied to AprilRNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't meaning to insinuate that you know everything. I think your experience should count and your family should consider

  2. When a loved one is admitted...

    happy2learn replied to AprilRNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely can't comment on the care being given, just because I'm a student. But what you're saying does make sense (not in the sense of whether its proper or not, but I understand what you are...

  3. Why did you if you hate it ?

    happy2learn replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

    It's just sad that this has to be mentioned. The visible underwear, ugh. I'll never understand

  4. When a loved one is admitted...

    happy2learn replied to AprilRNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, even if they don't care about your opinion, I would inform them of the conditions you experienced. I would be grateful if an insider was able to provide me information about a location my...

  5. Are there ANY nursing jobs?

    happy2learn replied to lilnurseling's topic in General Nursing

    Are you close to the southwestern Ohio border/greater Cincinnati (that's where I'm at)? There are no jobs here if you are. Don't know about anywhere up north. I pretty much expect to have to move to...

  6. I only want to be a PP or L&D nurse.....

    happy2learn replied to mks1014's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't see anything wrong with being passionate about wanting to work in a specific field before you become an RN. People have passions for different reasons, going to school doesn't form one's...

  7. I only want to be a PP or L&D nurse.....

    happy2learn replied to mks1014's topic in Ob/Gyn

  8. I only want to be a PP or L&D nurse.....

    happy2learn replied to mks1014's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OP - have you thought about volunteering in a department related to the field you want to be in? My hospital has a volunteer position where you cuddle babies. It's called a cuddler. Maybe you can see...

  9. I only want to be a PP or L&D nurse.....

    happy2learn replied to mks1014's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This sounds like me. I used to be the "breadwinner." Now I'm not. Not much bread coming in here, that's for sure! My husband wants to be a Certified Master Chef, and the road to making good money in...

  10. I only want to be a PP or L&D nurse.....

    happy2learn replied to mks1014's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What's wrong with being a little selfish? It's YOUR life. You can't always live your life for others. If this is want you want, you go for it, no matter what the sacrifice. Your child will be happy...

  11. Exploitation

    happy2learn replied to runningwoman's topic in General Nursing

    The legal part was probably deleted by the moderator to prevent further legal

  12. What would you do?

    happy2learn replied to MochaRN424's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a seasoned nurse, just a student, but I just wanted to offer my support to you. It's unbelievable how unprofessional she acted, and I'm so sorry you are going through this. :hug: I am glad...

  13. Paramedics, EMT's, Nurses.... Where do you look for a Medic Alert ID first?

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Nursing

    I think your tattoo idea was pretty good! Mine would look ridiculous. It would be twice as long as his. Compare: Type 1 Diabetic von Willebrand's disease Type

  14. Paramedics, EMT's, Nurses.... Where do you look for a Medic Alert ID first?

    happy2learn posted a topic in General Nursing

    I need to get a Medic Alert ID. It seems the most common are bracelets, at least according to other people I know in the Hemophilia community. But they also have necklaces, watches, sports bands, and...

  15. Exploitation

    happy2learn replied to runningwoman's topic in General Nursing

    I think you've received a ton of great advice on here. I can understand why your frustrated, the economy sucks. It's annoying. But you can't blame your employer. You don't know what their budget is....

  16. Did you always know you wanted to be a nurse?

    happy2learn replied to borinick1492's topic in General Nursing

    No. I have not always known I wanted to be a nurse. It took a journey of a few years before I realized it. When I was in high school, I wanted to teach music. I play the violin. Actually looked at...

  17. I experienced my first panic attack

    happy2learn replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Girl, I can only imagine how terrifying that was. I've never had a panic attack, hoping I never will, but we're all human so you never know. I would guess that it was a combination of factors that...

  18. Is it to late for me to become a Nurse?

    happy2learn replied to louis345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've gotten that reaction too! They can kiss my rear when I become a nurse, then they can kiss it again when I become an

  19. When do you intervene when food is lodged?

    happy2learn replied to BumblebeeinNC's topic in General Nursing

    You were right. If they can breath, talk, or cough, DO NOT INTERVENE. You are supposed to let them cough it out. If they can cough, that means they are getting air. If they cannot breath, talk,...

  20. Clueless on Nursing Volunteering

    happy2learn replied to enlu's topic in General Nursing

    There should be a volunteer office. Also, you might want to check online. You can usually find the volunteer office contact info

  21. Brain surgery last week, then coming to ED for pain. Wait 4 hours to be seen.

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Nursing

    I can't believe they left you with that many patients! That is crazy! I'm sure they did report and document. Thanks for mentioning

  22. Would like to make a Spanish wiki-like web site for nurses. How?

    happy2learn replied to BluegrassRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how to make apps either, lol. It doesn't have anything to do with age, I'm 24. I don't know how to make websites either. The problem I have with wikipedia is that anyone can edit it....

  23. Paramedics, EMT's, Nurses.... Where do you look for a Medic Alert ID first?

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you everyone. I was definitely leaning more towards the bracelet. I agree that I will notice it's on more than I would a necklace. I also agree that the watch isn't very noticeable. Thank you...

  24. Paramedics, EMT's, Nurses.... Where do you look for a Medic Alert ID first?

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Nursing

    I think you bring up a valid point. I need them to know because if I am bleeding somewhere I will bleed for a long time. Much longer than they average person. If they know then they will know I will...

  25. Paramedics, EMT's, Nurses.... Where do you look for a Medic Alert ID first?

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for bringing this up. My hubby is severely allergic to penicillin, amoxicillin, and ceclor. He might be allergic to others. I just know those 3 for sure and honestly the only antibiotic they...
