  1. Bachelor's Completion or Bachelors of Science in Nursing

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

    Nurse aides (CNA/STNA) only work in LTC's where I live. If you want to work in a hospital, you would need to be a PCA, which is a step above a nurse aide. For me, it is only 1 class that I will take...

  2. Bachelor's Completion or Bachelors of Science in Nursing

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

    To avoid that time gap, you could take the pre-reqs at a local community college. There are at least 5 people in my A&P classes that are going into accelerated BSN's. Keep in mind that a BSN...

  3. wanting to know more about online BSN

    happy2learn replied to Lindsay S's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Must just be my area then. All of the local RN-BSN online programs have in person clinicals because there are two that are not done in the ADN program. Good to

  4. Cats in the the facility

    happy2learn replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Hypoallergenic! That's an option you can present to your manager. If they want a cat, they should get a hypoallergenic one. It seems like there are a quite a few people allergic to cats. It should...

  5. Texas: Methodist Hospital Moves To Hire Only RNS' with BS degree

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

    Please avoid this comment. People work hard for their BSN and people work hard for their ADN. Neither degree is full of useless

  6. wanting to know more about online BSN

    happy2learn replied to Lindsay S's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Definitely be wary. Many of them are for profit and just seem to be out for money. But there are real online programs. My local university allows the RN-BSN students to take the lecture courses...

  7. What's the difference between the A&P prereq & the A&P first semester nursing

    happy2learn replied to Elizabeth 123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Biology is a pre-req for A&P. We're on quarters so we have A&P I, II, & III. They are all as in depth as each other, they just focus on different areas of the body. Good

  8. Cats in the the facility

    happy2learn replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I would talk to the manager. Your manager needs to be aware of the severity of your allergies. I'm sure they would take precautions with a patient of their that may be allergic to cats as well. Maybe...

  9. Please help me resolve my dilemma!!!

    happy2learn replied to unimesh's topic in Nursing Career

    It is disappointing, I can understand how you feel. I'm in school and I fear that I may not get a job after I graduate. But I don't let that fear rule me because I want to be a nurse. If I wanted a...

  10. Why are so many nurses so bad these days?

    happy2learn replied to ghillbert's topic in General Nursing

    I can only imagine how you feel. I'm so sorry to hear this. My mom is my best friend. I don't have a father, so seeing her go through something so horrible would be a nightmare. And then to have her...

  11. After the nurse-patient relationship has been terminated...

    happy2learn replied to Eirene's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    SitcomNurse makes good points. You can't always assume a request for friendship or relationship is pure at heart. I learned this when I met my biological father last

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

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    lol! I would not want to go to nursing school with my husband. I hope my mom and I do get into the same clinicals. I'm going to try and become close friends with the lady in charge of the wait list....

  13. Home Health...do you feel safe?

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

    My sociology teacher visits home of mentally disabled people for her job as she works for the city family services. She says she goes to the not so nice areas of town, areas where there are murders...

  14. Alternative name for CNA?

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

    Where I live it is STNA. The state says they do not "certify" nursing assistants. They only state test them. That is exactly what it says on the info I received from the state for my upcoming STNA...

  15. Unsafe environment

    happy2learn replied to Satori77's topic in General Nursing

    I believe you can report them to the state boards. I know you can report them, I am just not exactly sure where. State will come and check them out. However, sometimes they find out that State is...

  16. Please help me resolve my dilemma!!!

    happy2learn replied to unimesh's topic in Nursing Career

    So i decided to change the career so that "Godwilling" I have financial freedom and less pressure at work plus always will be in demand. Nurses are not in demand right now. There is a surplus of new...

  17. Please help me resolve my dilemma!!!

    happy2learn replied to unimesh's topic in Nursing Career

    I think this issue depends on where you live. In my area, becoming an LPN then doing the LPN-RN bridge takes roughly the same amount of time, but costs more money. Whereas, it seems like in Cali, they...

  18. After the nurse-patient relationship has been terminated...

    happy2learn replied to Eirene's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would define relationship. If it's more of an acquaintance relationship, I don't see how chatting with someone every now and then would be a big

  19. Evil Cna's

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

    I have to agree. If they want to vent to each other, let them. As long as they aren't saying the stuff in front of or to the residents, and as long as it isn't interfering with their job, then just...

  20. Am i smart enough??

    happy2learn replied to mkup29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As long as your happy with your decision, then good

  21. Am i smart enough??

    happy2learn replied to mkup29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can't find a job because of the economy. I don't think it has to do with your degree. It's the current economic state we are in. Please keep in mind that even if you go to LPN school, you may not...

  22. Online LPN School?

    happy2learn replied to JenniferNicole's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No nursing program is completely online. You may have online coursework, but you will always have to attend clinicals in person at a designated location. I have never seen an online LPN

  23. Bring my own patient??!!

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

    Huh? Is this how it is? I have to take an STNA course next week (I've heard CNA and STNA are pretty much the same -I guess STNA seems to be an Ohio thing). For some reason I was thinking the state...

  24. Nursing school & dr visits

    happy2learn replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

    Love that I wasn't ever afraid of the dr. I just don't like sitting forever

  25. How do i gain experience and still pay my bills?

    happy2learn replied to tigers9281's topic in General Students

    You could volunteer at hospital for 2 hours a week. Granted you won't get the same experience, but you will have patient interaction, and you will be able to professionally network. Both of those will...
