  4. Financial dilemma

    happy2learn replied to carlarenee02's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I haven't found a job in 2 years. If you can't get grants or scholarships, you'll have to take out loans. Also look into work study at the school. They don't pay much, but it helps. Maybe you could...

  7. suggestions to help my client...creative/crafty needed crochet?

    happy2learn replied to championnicole's topic in General Nursing

    happy2learn replied to stingray_on's topic in General Students

    150k is beyond outrageous for nursing school. :twocents:She'll be paying over $1200 a month just in student loan payments. I've seen a lot of posts about California nursing schools and the issues...

  9. suggestions to help my client...creative/crafty needed crochet?

    happy2learn replied to championnicole's topic in General Nursing

    I would go into a craft store (like JoAnn's) and ask them for help. Someone in there probably knows how to do it and can show you. They also offer classes. I worked there and there were tons of people...

  11. Phi Theta Kappa - Haven't we all been invited?

    happy2learn replied to SDChargersGirl#31's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That stinks. Can't you walk in to see your local chapter sponsor? That's what I'd do. It's easy for someone to ignore or forget about a phone call, but they can't ignore you when you are standing face...

    happy2learn replied to hoofs2118's topic in General Students

  16. WOW!!! I just saw how much first semester books cost!!!

    happy2learn replied to Waitingtill2010's topic in General Students

    Never buy books at your schools bookstore! Go to Amazon (especially their marketplace), or textbooks.com. I never buy my books

  17. So dissapointed...

    happy2learn replied to tierra399's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not really sure why they "suck" but my program makes us become an STNA before we can get on the waitlist. I won't be working as an STNA, and don't like spending the tuition on it, but the program...

  19. Hepatitis B Vaccine Safe?

    happy2learn replied to gkvegan's topic in General Nursing

    Do the risks associated with the vaccine outweigh the risks of contracting Hep B? That's what you need to think about. I don't exactly like vaccines. But I don't want Hep

  20. Is having a ADN useless these days?

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

    Some of you think a BSN is worthless, while others value their BSN. I don't think anyone actually said ADN itself is useless. The question was "Is having a ADN useless these days?" As in, in this...

  21. Is having a ADN useless these days?

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

    And Nurse Practitioners. The people who hold MSN's doing regular staff nurse work just may be a regular staff nurse. Maybe they don't have enough experience yet to get an NP, CNS, or CNL position. I...

  24. Is having a ADN useless these days?

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

    I don't think that all BSN programs are just extra fluff. From what I've seen, there are extra clinicals in the BSN program compared to the ADN program, and I don't think any sort of clinical is...

    happy2learn replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I am for healthcare reform, but there are a lot of issues I have with this bill. However, what bill was perfect when it passed? There are always amendments. Of course, the government seems to be side...
