  1. Funding a second degree bachelor's program

    happy2learn replied to NIUnurs2be's topic in General Nursing

    There is a limit to Federal loans (subsidized and unsubsidized), it's $57,500. http://www.finaid.org/loans/studentloan.phtml If you've hit that max, you will need to apply for private student loans....

  2. A question about prices of CNA/PCT programs and getting what you pay for

    happy2learn replied to jgreer425's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll be a fool if you pay $13,000 for that course. My RN(ADN) program doesn't even cost that much! I'm taking a CNA course and it's $600 as well. It doesn't have a bad reputation. And I can take...

  3. College Algebra or Equivalent?

    happy2learn replied to *Muffin*'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My ADN program does not require College Algebra, or I tested out of it. You have to be at college level math otherwise you have to take "developmental" math courses. I have to take Intermediate...

  4. What's your problem???????

    happy2learn replied to sasha2lady's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well girl, if you feel a "demonic" vibe from her, it's time to say your prayers for her. For me, praying for people like this is the only way I can deal with them. It's hard to not get mad at her,...

  5. Nurse Vs Daughter! Help Me!!!

    happy2learn replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

    First, I definitely agree that his wife intercepted your email. I don't think she was being truthful, but see it from her point of view. I'm sure your father was hurt and she didn't want to see that...

  6. Bankruptcy or credit collections ruin chance of taking NCLEX-RN

    happy2learn replied to henryjames6868's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Collections or bankruptcy will not get in your way of taking the NCLEX. I know someone with a TON of collections who took the NCLEX-PN with all of those collections, and she has a job. Some employers...

    happy2learn replied to henryjames6868's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    this doesn't surprise me. if you don't pay the government, the come back to bite you hard! but this doesn't mean you can't get a job, just not in facilities that receive these benefits. credit...

  8. Microbiology and Anatomy and Physiology II online?

    happy2learn replied to kammel's topic in General Students

    My community college offers their A&P classes online, with a virtual lab, every quarter. Some people hate it and find they don't learn much, while others enjoy it. If you don't need to learn by...

  9. Reapplying after Resignation

    happy2learn replied to RNAchot83's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think 3 months of not working is an issue right now. There are so many people not able to find jobs, many for much longer than 3 months, that I don't think 3 months is going to be a red flag....

  10. Reapplying after Resignation

    happy2learn replied to RNAchot83's topic in General Nursing

    If you're talking about a credit report background check, there is a very good chance it won't be on there. I've had employers pull my credit report because it does show some employment history. In...

  11. Should I get an internship? Help!

    happy2learn replied to sik0123's topic in General Students

    The only externships I've seen require the student to have completed a semester or two of clinical courses. But if you have one that doesn't require it, I'd do it. People work and go to nursing school...

  12. Hurting my chances of being hired? Help

    happy2learn replied to NIUnurs2be's topic in General Nursing

    You could just do the ADN and do a BSN bridge later, if you wanted. You will have a leg up on ADN's by having a Bachelor's, but you will not have as much as an advantage as a BSN. Definitely don't do...

  14. Nursing Vs Computer science..

    happy2learn replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in General Nursing

    Employment is slim in every field in this economy which is why career choices should not be based on current employment opportunities

    happy2learn replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in General Nursing

  16. Where can I work in the med field?

    happy2learn replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No problem! I volunteer in the emergency department and the oncology floor. The volunteer staff is usually very friendly. They will let you volunteer wherever you want, as long as they have room. Try...

  17. BSBA graduate going into ADN program/Volunteer Advice

    happy2learn replied to mtdx7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your current degree could very well help you get into administration/management positions. As far as the volunteer experience, you should still be getting patient contact, so it will count. I'm a...

  18. Do you donate blood?

    happy2learn replied to pna2388's topic in General Nursing

    I have a friend that says she tried to donate blood but they wouldn't let her because she is bipolar. Not sure if that's really accurate, but that's what she told

  21. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    happy2learn replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The point is that when presented with logical facts, one should at least be able to say, "I understand" instead of just sticking with their opinion. It's not about changing an opinion, but simply...

  22. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    happy2learn replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I don't like the vibe coming from some of these posts. I edited this because I don't want to accuse anyone of anything or cut anyone down, just wondering if anyone else got the same vibe or if its...

  23. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    happy2learn replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    it's fine if you do not feel a bsn will do you any good. and it's fine to say that you don't think a bsn is worth your time or money. but there is no reason for you to sit there and say the bsn is a...

  24. Online classes hard?

    happy2learn replied to Otaybw19's topic in General Students

    No, not those classes. I took all of my English classes online. I also took Nutrition and Psych 1 online. The only reason I'm taking Psych 2 on campus this quarter is because the online Psych 2...

  25. Do you donate blood?

    happy2learn replied to pna2388's topic in General Nursing

    I have never been able to donate and will never be able to donate since I have von Willebrand's disease. But I appreciate those who do because they help save the live of my fellow hemophilia
