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

    happy2learn replied to Sarah27's topic in General Nursing

    i don't understand how you can think 1 sentence was "curt." but if you think so, then i'm sorry because that was not my intention. i think sometimes we read too much into small things to make...

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

    happy2learn replied to Succubus's topic in General Students

    It's hard to really tell someone's attitude over the internet, but you will get used to saying things a certain way so that it doesn't come off another way. I just thought you came off as PO'd, but I...

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

    happy2learn replied to Succubus's topic in General Students

    Also, you may want to rephrase from using caps. It makes it appear as if you are yelling at people... unless that was your intention, then carry

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

    happy2learn replied to Succubus's topic in General Students

    You never said that you stopped taking the meds 3 years ago. I understand you haven't had an attack in 3 years, but that doesn't mean you wouldn't still have meds just in case. If the prescription is...

  5. New Grads We Have Hit A New Low...Work For FREE

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

    I'm sure most people who went to school also did not go to school to end up with no job. I'm sure they didn't think they'd be unemployed and would spend their days filling out applications. I think...

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

    happy2learn replied to Succubus's topic in General Students

    I understand your frustration. I would be too. But let's not pull the race card as it sounds as if you are almost using that as an excuse. It seems like you want to assume that it's about race instead...

  7. "Meat To Go Along With your Resume"

    happy2learn replied to emt2lpn2's topic in General Nursing

    One word..... MONEY Schools are a business. How many people do you actually think would go to the school if they were required to work? Not very many. Many people do work and they have good jobs...

  8. Over studying??

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    Umm, I do have a life outside of school thank

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

    happy2learn replied to Sarah27's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not trying to "shoot down" any idea. Since when is giving an opinion shooting down an idea? The people who manage the meals at hospital, nursing homes, and programs such as these have culinary...

  10. ER trys to redirect non-emergency care

    happy2learn replied to BackfromRetirement's topic in General Nursing

    Yes you are correct on this. But there are things people can say to make someone assume it is an emergency. There are plenty of homeless people that come into the ED claiming they need care, when in...

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

    happy2learn replied to Sarah27's topic in General Nursing

    I personally don't see meal prep/cooking as nursing care (unless this was apart of home health care.) That's more in the culinary field. If we are talking about people being unable to prep/cook...

  12. relocate or file?

    happy2learn replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

    If you made a purchase and never paid on it (within the past 90 days), the creditor will file a motion to make sure that debt will not be discharged. And it won't be. It's best to wait at least 6...

  13. relocate or file?

    happy2learn replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a Dave Ramsey fan. But I do agree that a new car every few years may be a bit excessive, but that's just my opinion. There comes a point when you just have too much debt and when you've tried...

  14. Accelerated BSN vs. "second major in nursing certificate"

    happy2learn replied to MissChloe's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Then I wouldn't think it wouldn't be worth it, if it's not a BSN, especially considering you can get your BSN in less time than that certificate program. It would not be viewed as the same, since it...

  15. Accelerated BSN vs. "second major in nursing certificate"

    happy2learn replied to MissChloe's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That makes no sense. I would ask if this is an accelerated BSN program or not. A certificate is just not the same. I wouldn't go there simply because they can't answer a simple question. God forbid...

  16. advice

    happy2learn replied to Maco's topic in General Nursing

    This is my job as a volunteer in the ED. I speak with the visitors and tell them who can or cannot come back. I've had husbands say they do not want their spouse to visit or be in the room. The OP...

  17. How do you handle delegating to PCA's?

    happy2learn replied to missdeevah's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I think she needs to be written up. Her attitude needs to be documented. She needs to be told to leave the attitude at the door. She is there to work. If she can't do that and be respectful,...

  18. LPN to BSN bridge program

    happy2learn replied to stephanieshae27's topic in LPN to RN

    Regional or national accreditation should not matter, as long as they are accredited and you will be able to take your NCLEX-RN, that's what matters. If money isn't the issue for you, then I'd just go...

  19. Accelerated BSN vs. "second major in nursing certificate"

    happy2learn replied to MissChloe's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I would ask the school to clarify what type of degree you will receive with this "certificate" program as a certificate is not a degree, but the "certificate program" could lead to a

  20. BSN or RN???

    happy2learn replied to amandakatherine's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You can get your BSN and you will become an RN that way. Or you can get your ADN to be an RN (if finances are a concern) and do an RN-BSN bridge. Or you can become an LPN and do an LPN-RN or LPN-BSN...

  21. LPN to BSN bridge program

    happy2learn replied to stephanieshae27's topic in LPN to RN

    I'm assuming you have to retake courses at the nationally accredited school because you got your LPN at a for profit school and those credits will not transfer

  22. ER trys to redirect non-emergency care

    happy2learn replied to BackfromRetirement's topic in General Nursing

    It is, from what I understand. At least at my hospital it is. They even have a sign up in the ER that says if you are having an emergency or going into labor they are required to treat you, even if...

  23. Pre-Nursing and Pre-Requisite

    happy2learn replied to asker101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A prereq is a class that you have to take before you can get into another class. Taking a prereq does not mean you are a pre-nursing student or anything. Anyone can take pre-reqs. For example, A&P...

  24. Issues with MMR requirement...

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

    How long had it been since your 1st MMR shot? You have to wait at least 4 weeks. I went to a clinic inside Kroger (like the one's in Walgreens/CVS) and the NP did my 2nd MMR (I had record of my 1st...

  25. I just need an available advisor!

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

    Define "crappy." It very well could be your GPA. I know how you feel about the advising appointment waitlist. I never need to see an advisor, but my husband has to call in at least 4 weeks in advance...
