  1. Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

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

    My mom is in her mid-40's and she is in nursing school with me. I say go for it if it is really what you want. While I understand the point your co-worker is trying to make, there are many factors...

  2. Non-clinical nursing - What is out there?

    happy2learn replied to Sarah27's topic in General Nursing

    You may want to look at this forum as well: Holistic Nursing Forum - Nursing for

  3. Need list textbooks Bohecker (Fortis) college,

    happy2learn replied to FooFooBear's topic in General Students

    More than likely they have had the books formatted so that they are specifically made for this school. My school has a few of those books, but I buy them used from other students, otherwise I would be...

  4. Going for ADN - take BSN courses now or later?

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

    If it fits in your schedule, then take them now. That is what I'm doing while I'm on the waitlist. I am finishing every course possible that is allowed to be finished before hand so that by the time...

  5. Does anyone else find this offensive?

    happy2learn replied to megan3485's topic in General Nursing

    People are getting offended because the title of the thread is "Does anyone else find this offensive?" It's hard to have people not say they are offended or not when you are asking them if they are....

  6. To recommend or not to recommend?

    happy2learn replied to CNL2B's topic in General Nursing

    Letters of recommendation are earned, not just given. Obviously the NM does not feel this nurse has earned a letter of recommendation, and it sounds rightly so. It's only been 2 months. It does sound...

  7. Does anyone else find this offensive?

    happy2learn replied to megan3485's topic in General Nursing

    Becoming a Certified Medical Assistant and becoming an LPN both take about a year. I don't understand why we are assuming that one education is more difficult than the other and I mainly don't...

  8. Are A's really not practical in nursing school?

    happy2learn replied to PaperPencil's topic in General Students

    I wish allnurses had a "thumbs down" button or something because I'd like to do that to Donald11's post. lol Grades are important if you want to become an ARNP, CNS, or CRNA. Not that you have to keep...

  9. Thinking of switching major to Nursing.

    happy2learn replied to GeorgeV2's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Job security?? Does that even exist anymore? Ability to find a job? We wish, don't we. There are thousands of new grad RN's that can't find jobs. One needs to go into nursing for other reasons...

  10. Meds in food

    happy2learn replied to bioniclewoman's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I believe hiding meds in food in my state is also illegal. If the patient wants to refuse meds, that is a part of their rights. Forcing someone to take meds is against their rights and big no

  11. Family problems, might drop out...

    happy2learn replied to orcagrrrl2003's topic in General Students

    This is a great idea. The American Cancer Society offers many types of events and family

  12. Putting a mask on a spitter

    happy2learn replied to NotFlo's topic in General Nursing

    i'm a little confused by this as well leslie. are we saying it's not a restraint? or are we saying it is since the resident has dementia and probably really doesn't understand the mask thing. thanks...

  13. Family problems, might drop out...

    happy2learn replied to orcagrrrl2003's topic in General Students

    What a horrible situation. I'm so sorry for you. I know this must be a tough decision, but I agree with everyone above that it would bless your grandma's heart more than anything to see you graduate....

  14. Disclosing that I am on pain medication?

    happy2learn replied to Hopeful3's topic in General Students

    I would disclose it. It wouldn't change your acceptance. Honestly, the school does have the right to understand your physical and mental condition, as they need to make sure you are able to properly...

  15. Non-clinical nursing - What is out there?

    happy2learn replied to Sarah27's topic in General Nursing

    I just have to say, the homeless clinic thing that missjennmb mentioned, sounds

  16. Copies of a DNR from a different facility/hospital?

    happy2learn replied to gentlegiver's topic in General Nursing

    Good to know, thank

  17. Putting a mask on a spitter

    happy2learn replied to NotFlo's topic in General Nursing

    LTC's have different rules than hospitals. The State does care more about resident rights vs. CNA's or nurses rights. The way they will see it is that if you can protect yourself without doing...

  18. Am I stupid for giving this up?

    happy2learn replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    You have to do what you think is best for you. If you think you will like a clinic, and don't mind maybe not having the opportunity at a hospital for a long time, then I'd say go for it. I know many...

  19. Copies of a DNR from a different facility/hospital?

    happy2learn replied to gentlegiver's topic in General Nursing

    I would think it would at least have to be

  20. How to pay for nurse anesthetist school (CRNA)?

    happy2learn replied to azchicago's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Stafford loan offers grad school loans, but I believe the max is like $57,000. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. As far as scholarships, I would sign up for fastweb.com. They will let you know all...

  21. Non-clinical nursing - What is out there?

    happy2learn replied to Sarah27's topic in General Nursing

    That's true. Although some of the stories I hear from my hubby make me think that male dominated doesn't mean better. Yelling with foul language, backstabbing, and lying. I wonder if the "female"...

  22. Over studying??

    happy2learn posted a topic in General Students

    I am doing really well in A&P. However, I was always nervous before tests in the last 2 quarters of A&P and I wouldn't remember as much as I thought I would. I found that so frustrating. I...

  23. Non-clinical nursing - What is out there?

    happy2learn replied to Sarah27's topic in General Nursing

    Back to the OP, sorry for having your thread hijacked, lol. I hope you find something that works out for you. There seem to be many

  24. Non-clinical nursing - What is out there?

    happy2learn replied to Sarah27's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for attempting to clarify. I actually wanted to edit a bunch of that out because it was too long, but I came back to the computer too late, oh well. I had stated many times that delivery is...

  25. Kicked out of nursing school b/c medical dx! Wth? Really?

    happy2learn replied to Succubus's topic in General Students

    Culture isn't the same as race. African American is a race, not a culture. Culture is the totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of...
