  1. Forced Flu Shots

    happy2learn replied to Tinksrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That doesn't make sense. My hospital requires flu shots, but I know people who are allergic to the things that you are who were exempted from the

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

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

    This is not what I was told. I was told you would be dropped from the society if your GPA fell below a certain amount. This is directly from the application "After becoming a member, an individual is...

  3. I'm mad and sad(about pt's family)

    happy2learn replied to singleye's topic in General Nursing

    yes. i totally agree with this. i for one have cut off my biological father for quite a few different reasons. i do not plan to ever see him

  4. In Surgical tech. program and not too happy.

    happy2learn replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    It's the reading of the ultrasounds that is difficult. At my school, it is harder to get into the sonographer program and they have higher grade requirements over the nursing program and the surg tech...

  5. "size of the paycheck"

    happy2learn replied to agnesj23's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like homework. To avoid being flamed by some people for asking for homework answers.... How would you respond? You'll probably get more helpful responses if you state what you would do

  6. In Surgical tech. program and not too happy.

    happy2learn replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    Wrong kiddo. Ultrasound nor Radiation would be easier. They would be equally difficult, if not more difficult. Tons of Chem knowledge is needed for Radiation and let me tell you, the Ultrasound...

  7. Volunteer Hospital Interview? What do I wear

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

    I think dress pants, dress shirt, and tie would be appropriate. Not a full suit like Barney, and not a sweater vest like Joseph. You could wear a vest, but I wouldn't wear that vest. I think that...

  8. Confused about which classes to take next

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

    My school looks at the year it was taken. My school also has the 7 year thing, but they took my bio from 8 years

  9. I need some guidance!

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

    You're leaning towards the better decision. Please don't go to an unaccredited school, very risky, and costly. Believe me, you don't want to burden yourself with debt like that. The less debt you can...

  10. i'm SCARED!

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

    I started school at 23. Been out of school for 5 years. Yes, I was scared, now I don't know why. LOL! It may take a semester or two for you to get into the groove, but you'll be okay. You can do...

  11. I've never been a good math/science student...

    happy2learn replied to Serenity7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been good in math, but hated it. lol. But I was never really that good at science, especially Chemistry, yuck. But A&P was fascinating to me. I also had a fantastic teacher, so that is how I...

  12. Hondros 2010 vs Butler Tech

    happy2learn replied to HarleySue's topic in General Students

    I got my information from the Ohio Board of Nursing and these are 2010 statistics. Where did you get yours? Last quarter in 2010 pass rate was 70.37%. Total for 2010 was 81.36%. The last quarter in...

  13. Will Traffic ticket warrant prevent me from being hired?

    happy2learn replied to spider woman's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not asking for advice and I'm sure the OP would prefer people address their issue instead of addressing what you believe is my issue. OP, is this a traffic ticket, or a warrant (where you will get...

  14. Will Traffic ticket warrant prevent me from being hired?

    happy2learn replied to spider woman's topic in General Nursing

    If you thought my post was condescending, I apologize. That was NOT my intent at all and I realize I probably worded it the wrong way. Sorry, I'm running on a few hours of sleep. lol My point was to...

  15. Will Traffic ticket warrant prevent me from being hired?

    happy2learn replied to spider woman's topic in General Nursing

    Are you really hijacking this thread to discuss my bankruptcy (which you know nothing about)? I've been researching this for an entire year and I've been working on paperwork for the past month. I...

  16. "We hire in house first" Is it always the case?

    happy2learn replied to SiennaGreen's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, it's true. Being "internal" gets you on the top of the list. Even as a volunteer they eluded to the fact that I got an interview because I was a volunteer. If all factors are constant and you...

  17. Will Traffic ticket warrant prevent me from being hired?

    happy2learn replied to spider woman's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think an outstanding warrant will look good to an employer, if that is what you are asking. If they have to choose between you (with an outstanding warrant) and someone like me with absolutely...

  18. is it easy to find a job with an associate nursing degree?

    happy2learn replied to cheng1988's topic in General Nursing

    It's not easy to find a job.

  19. Hondros 2010 vs Butler Tech

    happy2learn replied to HarleySue's topic in General Students

    Hope you're aware Hondros NCLEX pass rate in Ohio is 70%. It's the second worst. The worst is Galen. So prepare to have a need to spend tons of time studying for the NCLEX because it seems the school...

  20. Term paper advice pleaseee!!!

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

    I would check your schools library. See if you can access it

  21. Accredited 2 Year Nursing Schools?

    happy2learn replied to Tim92's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Galen does NOT have a high NCLEX pass rate. It was 63%. YTD: Cstates was 89%, Mt. St. Jo was 96%, Good Sam was 79%, Miami was 91%, Christ was 86%, UC - RWC was 92%, UC - BSN - 87%, Hondros was 81%,...

  22. bookstore = constant PAIN

    happy2learn replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    I don't use the school bookstore. We have a bookstore across the road that sells used books. But mostly, I use amazon.com or textbooks.com. I don't need no overpriced new book. Every used book I have...

  23. Is anatomy one of the toughest courses for nursing?

    happy2learn replied to Toots71506's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P was a piece of cake for me. I thought Micro was more difficult. But I still got an A in

  24. Kaplan College, Student Loans??

    happy2learn replied to Pouneh's topic in General Nursing

    The $120k was a guess. Not too far off anyway. Ok. So you're going to have $90k in loans for an Associate's degree (doesn't anyone else see how illogical that sounds?). - By the way, I won't ever hit...

  25. Kaplan College, Student Loans??

    happy2learn replied to Pouneh's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks mjmoon, you actually made me think of the fact I didn't mention interest. a $120k loan @ 10 years: interest = $46k A $120k loan @ 30 years: interest = $162k That's more than the original loan...
