  1. Has anyone received their license after submitting declaratory for bipolar?

    happy2learn replied to kmdjkennedy's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think I can relate a person being by polar with someone who steals drugs. That makes no sense. Just because someone is bipolar doesn't mean they like

  2. the chance to find a NP job for new graduate without experience

    happy2learn replied to cymphilly's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think you should expect to have to work as an RN once you graduate NP school, since you have no experience. That is the route I will be taking. I'll be going straight through school, but won't have...

  3. Thinking about attending American Career College.

    happy2learn replied to jessiew's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Patience is a virtue and will save you thousands of money, which means you will be able to actually enjoy your life once you graduate! Since you graduated so early, I assume you had good grades and...

  4. Ridiculous book vent

    happy2learn replied to JBMmom's topic in General Students

    One of my teachers said "I can't tell you that you won't need a book this quarter because I'm not allowed to say that, but all of the information you need to know for tests are provided in my lecture...

  5. Has anyone received their license after submitting declaratory for bipolar?

    happy2learn replied to kmdjkennedy's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think they can deny you a license even if you are currently bipolar, that is probably illegal. I think they will probably just want to make sure you have it under control or are taking...

  6. Reducing Test Taking Anxiety

    happy2learn replied to Truth66's topic in General Students

    I think all of the above techniques are helpful. My husband has test anxiety so I know how frustrating it is. Good luck to your friend. Hopefully she will find something that works for her and it's...

  7. dear patients, please quit saying that to me

    happy2learn replied to mcpnurse's topic in General Nursing

    It's better than saying "you look tired" which is a nice way of saying "you look like crap!" We all just need to learn to accept compliments. I think cute is a compliment. I know everyone has a hard...

  8. Down Under: How difficult is it to work un the US with an Australian Nursing Degree?

    happy2learn replied to down_under's topic in Nurse Registration

    Yes it can. The point being that someone with 10 years of experience in a field with a degree had a hard time being accepted into the US job market when the economy was in good standing. Nursing is...

  9. Is it okay to be in the same nursing class as a relative?

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    It's funny you mentioned that because we have already started sharing books! Next quarter she is getting my sociology book and I am getting her Micro book. lol. The savings is definitely nice. It...

  10. Down Under: How difficult is it to work un the US with an Australian Nursing Degree?

    happy2learn replied to down_under's topic in Nurse Registration

    This is the only thing I can really say. My uncle (who is an American citizen by birth) lived and worked in Australia for many years. He obtained a degree there (non-nursing.) He was making excellent...

  11. Question

    happy2learn replied to lakerfan24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you mean what math classes you will have to take? Or just math knowledge? Math classes vary by program. For my ADN program, we didn't need college level math. But for the BSN program I'll be...

  12. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    happy2learn replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    The first thing I will buy is an expensive knife set and copper pots and pans for my chef husband. He's so supportive and these are the only things he wants, so he deserves them. The rest not...

  13. Should I Take Micro and AP 2 at the same time?

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

    If you can fit in sleep and study time, then go for it. I"m taking A&P 3 (we're on quarters. we have A&P 1, 2, & 3) along with Micro, Psych 2, and an STNA course. But, I don't work. So I...

  14. What is the advantage of taking a PCT course?

    happy2learn replied to Wendy Smith's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I'm going to take a PCA course so I can get a job outside of a nursing home! PCA's/PCT's are not hired in nursing homes in my state, only CNA's. PCA's work in the

  15. Evil Cna's

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

    I agree 100% with NM nurse to be. The problem is, we don't know what is being said, or how often things are being said. Also, some people may just be saying things to try and fit in with the other...

  16. Lack of nursing jobs

    happy2learn replied to Redhead28's topic in General Nursing

    I love accents! I know that probably sounds stupid, but I do. New Jersey ones too! The only time an accent bothers me is when it's so thick I can't understand a thing, and then that person gets mad...

  17. Lack of nursing jobs

    happy2learn replied to Redhead28's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't move unless I had a job offer. I would fly or drive for an interview far away, and if I got the offer, then I would move. I'd never move with the "hopes" of finding a

  18. Stats with first semester NS?

    happy2learn replied to MelanyJ's topic in General Students

    I think it depends on what other courses you are taking with Statistics. I have to take it as well, ugh. I am good at math but I don't really like it. I plan on taking Stats with some really easy...

  19. Am I deluding myself?

    happy2learn replied to Nichole43119's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nichole43119 - I live in Ohio as well and can't wait to relocate. lol Keep up the hard work and try different schools. Eventually you will get in

  20. When death is imminent (long).........

    happy2learn replied to scoochy's topic in General Nursing

    This is something I just never thought about. Thank you for writing this thread. I will always keep this in mind even as a student

  21. Are patients more likely to be honest with the nurse or the doctor?

    happy2learn replied to sparklie.lady's topic in General Nursing

    I think the patient will communicate more openly with the person they feel they can trust. It may be nurse, or it may be the doctor. If they have a mean nurse, they probably won't open up as much. I...

  22. Do nurses at your LTC facility text the docs?

    happy2learn replied to inkydorei's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Cell phone companies do not keep text messages themselves, so they wouldn't be able to pull it up and get patient information. Texting isn't secure, that's the issue. I can understand to an extent if...

  23. Where can I work in the med field?

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

    I'm a hospital volunteer. Check the hospitals website and call the volunteer services office. They usually have a volunteer application they will mail to you along with other info. They also tell you...

  24. Cats in the the facility

    happy2learn replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    The OP never said she wanted to deprive the residents of a cat. She was asking for advice on how to cope with allergies. She even said that she knows the cat will bring joy to some of the residents....
