  1. Ask for a grade increase in anatomy?

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

    Then I guess it depends on the school because my school sure doesn't have anything like that. So fighting for a B+ would be a waste to me. An A is a 4.0, a B is a 3.0 and a C is a

  2. having a terrible teacher

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

    You likely won't get anywhere with the dean. We have a notorious math teacher. If you ask him a question in class be prepared to be made a fool of. He has like 30 pages of horrible reviews on...

  3. why do people do this?

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

    People do this because we're selfish. Plain and simple. We don't want things to take you away from us. They just need to suck it up or get the heck out of the

  4. Overweight Nurse?

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

    I think the key here is that you desire to get healthy and you are working on it. That deserves a As long as you continue to work on it, I don't think it's going to be an

  5. Ask for a grade increase in anatomy?

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

    Is a B+ actually going to make a difference? I mean, we get points on our GPA for A, B, and C. No A+, A, A-,

  6. Life as a New Grad Sucks

    happy2learn replied to lifeasanewgrad's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well I'd be mad at a nurse if they were playing the Brett Favre game. I mean, if you want to continue working, then more power to you, but don't get to the point where you say you are going to retire...

  7. How does the dog handle your 12 hour shifts?

    happy2learn replied to SnowStar4's topic in General Nursing

    Just because a dog can hold it doesn't mean it's good for them. Holding urine causes concentrations of pH that encourage bladder stones and crystals to grow, which is a bladder infection. If a dog...

  8. RN use of ultrasound in fetal demise cases

    happy2learn replied to April Tyler's topic in Ob/Gyn

    While I do believe what you did was right ethically, it was out of your scope of practice, which is why you were suspended. I understand you want to do the right thing, but if you keep going that...

  9. Being around alot of women....Pros and Cons

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

    I just have to thank you all for giving me some laughs. Some of these comments have been cracking me up. I'm not offended by the clam comment. I don't think it's derogatory either. I have more...

  10. Anyone else feel dirty after Microbiology lab?

    happy2learn posted a topic in General Students

    I love Microbiology. It's fascinating, yet kinda scary/freaky. I'm quite freaked out by the things I've learned and seen with Staphylococcus aureus. Well, I feel like I need like 10 showers after I...

  11. Volunteer while in school?

    happy2learn replied to MayGirl2013's topic in General Students

    My volunteer process was not that extensive and I'm at a Level 1 Trauma Center. I had to have 3 letters of recommendation sent to the volunteer office after I filled out the application. Once they...

    I volunteer in the ED of a Level 1 Trauma Center. lol. But I do use my sanitizing lotion quite a

  14. Anyone else feel dirty after Microbiology lab?

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    My hubby's a chef so he's pretty crazy on all of the food sanitizing procedures. We never buy bag salads either. There just seemed to be too many recalls on those. Though, to be honest, I don't think...

  15. Anyone else feel dirty after Microbiology lab?

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    Yes, for a second I thought I had found the bacteria on the slide, and thought it was moving, only to realize it was my eyelashes. Yes I can't wait to be done with the microscopes.

  16. Anyone else feel dirty after Microbiology lab?

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    Yes, yes. I'm aware of all of the bacteria that surround me. It just feels different when you're looking at it growing in front of your face.

  17. Anyone else feel dirty after Microbiology lab?

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    Glad I'm not the only one!!! My eyelashes always get in the way It's funny, but annoying. I have to hold my eyelashes up, which I'm sure looks quite attractive , and then my eyes get all dry while...

  18. Anyone else feel dirty after Microbiology lab?

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    We don't use fungi in our labs and we won't in the future. The only labs left are antibiotic tests, and then we get to swab each others mouths and check out the nastiness that is the human

  19. Anyone else feel dirty after Microbiology lab?

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    Oh yeah, gotta love Wal-mart and the creatures... I mean people... that go there. I do use sanitizer often when there and after leaving there. We don't have cadavers in our A&P classes. But I...

  20. Anyone else feel dirty after Microbiology lab?

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    I don't find it that difficult, but I think it's really intriguing. I think it really just depends on your instructor. For the most part, it's easy. But the exams we take are not easy at all. I still...

  21. I am sooooooo stressed I need help!!

    happy2learn replied to Shaunta20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've never had luck with the people in financial aid. Anytime I have an issue it seems like it's a student answering and 99% of the time they have no clue what they are talking about. If you keep...

  22. I am sooooooo stressed I need help!!

    happy2learn replied to Shaunta20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's beyond ridiculous. I don't understand why they don't pull the file to prove you were there. That makes no sense. I don't understand how 1 F can drop your GPA low enough to withhold aid. I...

  23. I am sooooooo stressed I need help!!

    happy2learn replied to Shaunta20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm so sorry to hear all of this. It does suck. I thought they have to put you on counseling for like a semester or two before they could just flat out deny your aid? At least that is the way it is...

  24. Does anybody know or ever gone thru it?

    happy2learn replied to janetreimundi's topic in General Nursing

    All of the schools by me that offer the PT program are doctorate's programs. But yes OP, you could probably easily transition into the PTA program, which is an Associate's degree program. I do agree...

  25. Becoming a Nurse

    happy2learn replied to klboothe's topic in General Nursing

    There are male RN's. There is one in the ED I volunteer at. Mostly everyone loves him. To become an RN you can get your ADN or BSN. Since the job market is flooded with new grad nurses that do not...
