  2. Websites to get cheap books

    happy2learn replied to luisaf7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You would have to ask your instructor if they accept the international version. Some do not. I have the international version for my Micro book and all of our Micro teachers accept

  3. volunteering in a hospital that you want to work at?

    happy2learn replied to Peds4LifeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would volunteer, but don't expect a job. Most places where you volunteer will give you a letter of recommendation after a certain period of time or number of hours. It doesn't hurt to have another...

  4. Nursing Education, Not Training!!

    happy2learn replied to scoochy's topic in General Nursing

    I just don't see why this is an issue. I would just tell them what school I went to, and not emphasize it in a sarcastic and/or rude manner. Why do we let such silly things bother us? The term...

  5. Accepting this gift from a patient

    happy2learn replied to nursingpower's topic in General Nursing

    I think the OP meant that they are not poor, as in they can afford to give, or that they are not giving their last dollar. I think that was the point. I don't think the poor statement was in regards...

  6. Senior RN Student w/ Jealous Husband!!!

    happy2learn replied to mommalumps's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I can't believe you have made it this long, so I commend you on that. Get your license. I know it's hard to be around this guy, but get your license, don't give up! Don't let him get in the way of you...

  7. Websites to get cheap books

    happy2learn replied to luisaf7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    textbooks.com - they have new and used, and they have a marketplace. I got the nurse aide workbook for $10, and it's $30 new. I also got my husbands book for $10 and it is $60 new. I've used...

  8. Horrible Chem Professor...

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

    Well, I'm sure you have to pass to even be allowed into Micro. At this point, you have to suffer through it, and hope you pass. I would complain to the Dean. At my school, there was a problem with 1...

  9. ADN or BSN

    happy2learn replied to nursingstudent221's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my area, the universities are already preparing to remove the MSN program and switch to DNP, so keep that in

  10. Dog on the floor, what do you think?

    happy2learn replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    I have a horrendous fear of spiders, but I encounter them on a regular basis. People who have real fears know they will not go their entire lives and not be confronted with them. No one is being...

  11. Good grades or CNA experience more important when applying for jobs?

    happy2learn replied to magn1jes's topic in General Nursing

    I think both matters. I am taking a PCA course in the fall because CNA's only work in LTC's here. I have no desire to work in a LTC. I plan on working as a PCA part time while in school. But my grades...

  12. Today after clinical I broke down in Tears!!:(

    happy2learn replied to believeallispossible's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I would finish the program. If you had just started, I would say stop. But you don't have much longer. There are a few things that you need to evaluate. For one, the science issue. I never really...

  13. What am I doing wrong? (Hospitals & My Resume)

    happy2learn replied to MedSurger's topic in General Nursing

    It's just the economy. I haven't had a job in 2 years. Of course I haven't been looking for the past 8 months since I decided to go to school. But when I was looking, I heard nothing. There are...

  14. Wow the doors are all closing, when will one open?

    happy2learn replied to Destiny12's topic in General Nursing

    I quit a ridiculously stressful job 2 years ago (as a loan officer, they wanted me to lie to customers..no way:mad:), and haven't found a job since! I applied for thousands of jobs, and that is not an...

  15. Hello Nurses! I decided on a school, need feed back! =)

    happy2learn replied to tracey87's topic in General Students

    To the OP, $132K is beyond outrageous. I won't even spend that much after getting a doctorate. Never spend that much on an associate's degree. Do any of the community colleges offer the LPN/LVN...

  16. Can I get my LPN license after completing an entire year of Nursing school?

    happy2learn replied to Felicia327's topic in General Students

    It would depend on how your program is set up. I couldn't do that at my program. I'd ask your program

  17. Micro and A&P 2 together?

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

    I'm taking Micro and A&P 3 (we're on quarters-this is like the last 2/3 of A&P 2 for you, 9 weeks) together over the summer, along with 2 other classes (STNA, Pscyh 2). These are my final...

  18. What are the chances of being fired as a nurse?

    happy2learn replied to Crystal112's topic in General Nursing

    In my state, it is illegal for the previous employer to say anything about you except when you were hired, when you left the company, and things along that line. They are not allowed to say anything...

  19. Sick of the complaining!

    happy2learn replied to JenniferSews's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    That happens everywhere. One person can be a bad apple, then the patient assumes that everyone is that way. That bad nurse doesn't even need to be at your location, but once that patient interacts...

  20. Dog on the floor, what do you think?

    happy2learn replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    Humans carry more germs than dogs. I think having an open policy for dogs would be an issue. As long as the word isn't spread around, I don't see the problem. But if everyone started bringing in...

  21. Should i become a CNA first?

    happy2learn replied to nursingstudent221's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    State Tested Nurse Aide. I believe CNA and STNA are pretty much the same thing, at least where I'm located. Good luck to you

  22. Info about the Cincinnati Area (any input appreciated)

    happy2learn replied to starmickey03's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I've lived in the Cincy area my whole life and can help, but I need more info from you. What are the good and not so good areas of the city? - Are you looking to live in the city, or more like the...

  23. CNA to be an RN?

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

    Hospitals by me do not hire CNA's, only LTC's. They consider CNA's the same as an STNA (which I have to become to get into my nursing program). Hospitals by me only hire PCA's which is an additional...

  24. How many credits during the summer?

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

    I'm taking an STNA program (6 credits), A&P 3 (4 credits), Microbiology (4 credits) and Psychology 2 (3 credits) over the summer. We run on quarters and the summer quarter is the same length as...

  25. Should i become a CNA first?

    happy2learn replied to nursingstudent221's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking the STNA program this summer (8-3pm 2 1/2 weeks), and A&P 3, Microbiology, and Psychology 2. 17 credits for the quarter (12 is full time). I've heard the STNA program is easy. Mine is...
