  1. I'mXYZ and I'm gonna be a CRNA! Oh really? Me too! My orientation experience.

    happy2learn replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, about half of the nursing students in my classes have BSN's already so they are transferring to the local university's accelerated MSN program. Only 1 I met is considering CRNA, but she is not...

  2. Anatomy & Physiology: experiences?

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

    I 100% agree with this statement. If you have a bad professor, it seems that no amount of studying will help you. I have a fabulous teacher. So A&P 1,2,3 has been easy for

  3. Tonight's Boston Med: nurses featured!

    happy2learn replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you OP! I was so disappointed in how she spoke to that patient. She was quite rude. Even if part of it was editing, what she said, I think was out of line. All she needed to tell him was...

  4. Nurse Anesthetists

    happy2learn replied to TLCinCT's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am going to be an NP and my hubby knows we are not having kids until I am done with school. Of course, like everyone, I thought that CRNA would be good, mainly because of the salary. lol. But when...

  5. Advice Please- MSN, no specialty?

    happy2learn replied to Peace.Love.Cupcakes.'s topic in Post Graduate Students

    I would wait. What if you picked a specialty and decided that was not what you wanted? Might as well wait and you can do it part time while you work. Get some experience in and shadow around so you...

  6. New RN getting a course on Surgical Tech... Any advice please

    happy2learn replied to alohanars18's topic in General Nursing

    Surgical tech is another degree. I would get a 2nd degree. If you're doing that, you might as well just get your BSN (if you don't already have it), or MSN. Everyone, in every field is having a hard...

  7. Number of classes?

    happy2learn replied to KimGau's topic in General Students

    Intro to College is a stupid class, Sorry. I rarely say that, but I had to take a similar class (The community college experience), and it was pretty much a joke. 3 credits of wasted life. Definitely...

  8. Number of classes?

    happy2learn replied to KimGau's topic in General Students

    Have you checked their NCLEX passing rates? My school doesn't have a high graduation rate, but the NCLEX passing rate is high. It's a community college and has many degree programs, not just nursing....

  9. Bring my own patient??!!

    happy2learn replied to freesia29's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That is

  11. North Carolina Nursing Opportunities

    happy2learn replied to RosePMHNP's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    If you do a search, you will find many threads in regards to BSN vs ADN. Look up current job postings in your area and see how many of them say "BSN preferred." I think that's the best way to see what...

  12. Number of classes?

    happy2learn replied to KimGau's topic in General Students

    I would never take that many classes and I do not have children and I don't work. However, I get straight A's and intend on keeping it that way. I'm taking 17 credits, and we're on quarters, so...

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

    happy2learn replied to Julz034's topic in Ohio Nursing

    As far as the waitlist, no one can tell you how long it is. Cincinnati State is switching from quarters to semesters in 2012, and they have no idea whether they will continue admitting nursing...

  14. Did you do your research BEFORE you became a nurse?

    happy2learn replied to Tyler77's topic in General Students

    I have to agree. I'm a student and I haven't started clinicals, but I know that clinicals will NEVER be the same as being on the job. That's just how it is. You can never experience everything in a...

  15. BSN QUESTIONS!!!!

    happy2learn replied to chaquanahunter's topic in General Students

    You can go straight for your BSN or you can get your ADN and do an ADN-BSN bridge. It's your choice. I'm getting my ADN and then doing the bridge because it's cheaper and takes just as much time as...

  16. Is anyone else's school increasing tuition?

    happy2learn replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Students

    My tuition only increased $2 per credit hour, so it's $85 a credit hour now. We pay $50 for a parking pass though and we also have no where to park between the hours of 11am and 2pm Mon-Fri. That...

  17. Bring my own patient??!!

    happy2learn replied to freesia29's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think we get other students as well, but that's fine. Of course, I'd rather make my husband do it with me, ha ha

  18. New Grad and No Job? Write to your Senator!

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

    I'll be writing my senator! Thank you! I hope more people do this instead of just sitting on here

  19. Did you do your research BEFORE you became a nurse?

    happy2learn replied to Tyler77's topic in General Students

    I did my research. I know what I'm getting into. But I'm finding plenty of people who did not, that's for sure! Many of them in my classes think a job will be awaiting them when they graduate. They...

  20. Disciplinary action?? Really?

    happy2learn replied to traumaQN's topic in General Nursing

    What a nightmare! But thank goodness your employer now sees that these people are out to get you. That sounds like harassment to me as well. I would be filing for harassment. They have no reason or...

  21. Are nursing grads still having a hard time finding jobs?

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

    The point of going to school to be a pastry chef isn't really supposed to be about others love of desserts, it should be yours. My husband is in culinary school for food and pastry. He just loves to...

  22. Are nursing grads still having a hard time finding jobs?

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

    Yes they are having a hard time. There are no jobs within 100 miles of where I live for new grads. They all say "no new grads will be considered." Go to indeed.com and type in "no new grads rn" in...

  23. Caregiver smoking with patient on oxygen

    happy2learn replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    The lady is on oxygen for a reason. I'm sure the smoke bothers her and will affect her health. That's what matters. A caregiver should never smoke around the patient. I'd be furious if I were that...

  24. Boston Med-new TV show, will you be watching?

    happy2learn replied to kat von b's topic in General Nursing

    I enjoyed the show. Though I would love to see more nurses, I think the perspective of the show is different and interesting. This episode show Mass General and Brigham and Women's Hospital. It also...

  25. Nurse Vs Daughter! Help Me!!!

    happy2learn replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

    I can appreciate your point of view. I met my biological father for the first time about 2 years ago. He actually found me on myspace. I was excited to meet him, I harbored no hard feelings for him...
