  1. When All Hope Was Lost....

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Nursing

    littlemammanurse, what an incredible story! I am so happy she survived that! Faeriewand - That is absolutely incredible that he even lived for that amount of time! I'm sure he did go in peace....

  2. Visitors chasing you down the hallway....

    happy2learn replied to KSU-SN's topic in General Nursing

    Pretty easily. You are pretty much stating they are "under" you, when you are all a team. Just saying, that is the attitude you give off by using the word "underlings." Sure, you may not feel that...

  3. Freaked out about Micro!

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

    Horror stories?? I LOVED micro!! I would take it again and again if I didn't have to pay for it, lol. I found it

  4. Annoyed by what I saw in the dining room...vent

    happy2learn replied to mom2cka's topic in General Nursing

    A little harsh much, aren't you? How can you make an assumption that because she let the doctor go before you, that means he/she is better than you? They were waiting, they didn't ask to step in...

  5. Rash from hand sanitizer?

    happy2learn replied to hiddencatRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've used the Gold Bond, loved it too. However, we were told that it doesn't kill as much as the hospital grade sanitizer. Plus they'll confiscate it if they see it. Same as lotion. We are not...

  6. <NEW GRAD for a year now, NO JOB!

    happy2learn replied to Winnie93's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yes, agreed, lower your standards. You can't always get what you want. You have to start somewhere. The hospital will like a person who has SOME experience better over a person who has

  7. Student Loan Defaulters ONLY

    happy2learn replied to Spode's topic in General Nursing

    You should really take a look at your bills/budget. If your housing is provided, how are you spending so much money on bills? My husband and I lived on an income of $2600k per month and we were able...

  8. Rash from hand sanitizer?

    happy2learn replied to hiddencatRN's topic in General Nursing

    We have a lotion that is made to match our hand sanitizer. I always use the lotion after, and I only use the sanitizer when I do not have easy access to the

  9. Cincinnati State Technical College-- Has anyone ever attended?

    happy2learn replied to Julz034's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Yes, it would be bad if that happened. I have not heard of the rumor that they would eliminate the waitlist. The only schools that do not have waitlists have application processes in which they do...

  10. Cincinnati State Technical College-- Has anyone ever attended?

    happy2learn replied to Julz034's topic in Ohio Nursing

    No news on this yet. Supposed to hear something in the Winter Term. The last thing I heard is that they are not sure whether or not they will be offering 2 clinical start times per year starting in...

  11. Volunteering...

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

    Networking - cannot put a price tag on

  12. financial aid

    happy2learn replied to d00d00butter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Putting money in your 401k does not change the fact that you earned $60k. Also, you are trying to trick the system. That is your intent. In no way are you doing this for "financial planning." No...

  13. Ashamed of nursing school

    happy2learn replied to MzTayTay's topic in General Students

    I don't think it's insulting at all. It's the truth, at least in my experience. I can definitely relate. My school is more concerned with the business over the quality of education. They just let...

  14. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    happy2learn replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my yes. I take a lot of online classes. Last week our discussion board was labeled Week Four. So when we would start a thread, we would just titled it "Week Four DB" This one girl puts: Week Foe...

  15. Christmas with Patient

    happy2learn replied to caregiver10's topic in General Nursing

    I work at a large hospital and I interact with patients and families. I only say Merry Christmas if they say it first. I do celebrate Christmas, but I also don't assume everyone else does. I can't say...

  16. Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    happy2learn replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    This thread cracks me up! What goes around comes around.... Do you all see how many pages you have gone on to debate on whether or not this person is really a chauvinist? Let me ask you, how can you...

  17. How do I handel this like a professional?

    happy2learn replied to KC,RN's topic in General Nursing

    I know EXACTLY how you feel. I am in the exact same position (just not a nursing job, a job at a hospital.) Now, I know there will be 2 open positions that come with benefits in May and June, and if...

  18. So, I interviewed last week and I thought it went well...

    happy2learn replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital took a month before they invited me to a 2nd interview. Then 3 weeks before they hired

  19. Study to be A nurse without program

    happy2learn replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    I think you will be getting ahead of yourself and it will only make things worse for you. Work hard at what you are studying now in high school. That needs to be your focus. There will be help in...

  20. MALE NURSES

    happy2learn replied to ugoboss's topic in General Students

    I LOVE our male nurses. Almost all of them are incredibly nice, and some of them are just flat out hilarious. They seem more laid back. Also, it seems like when there are male nurses around, the...

  21. Ridiculous, overbearing restrictions on volunteers

    happy2learn replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP is not in nursing school, just so you all know. I am a hospital volunteer. Sure, I get treated rude by some nurses and doctors and other hospital staff, but not most of them. And the ones that are...

  22. Go for CNA or Volunteer?

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

    I say volunteer. Volunteering got me a job that I love at a hospital that I hope to become an RN at. Volunteering has allowed me to have unlimited interactions with patients. I'm not on a time limit....

  23. Vent

    happy2learn replied to coolpeach's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but I do work at a hospital. I understand the types of people you are talking about, I've come across them as well (patients & visitors.) However, there are those moments with...

  24. Just looking for some other opinions on a topic that came up on Oprah

    happy2learn replied to mentalhealthRN's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone on here keeps saying "it's not the death sentence it used to be." Yes, maybe that's true, but that also depends on the person and how their body is reacting to it. I have a friend who is a...

  25. Just looking for some other opinions on a topic that came up on Oprah

    happy2learn replied to mentalhealthRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't agree with her decision. Heck, I have a bleeding disorder and I would feel a little selfish if we had a baby and it had to deal with it as well. I am seriously torn on this issue. There is a...
