  1. Am I too young?

    happy2learn replied to mariemac89LPN's topic in General Nursing

    If you're ready, why wait? I've had people look down on me at other jobs because I was their boss and they were older than me. They didn't like the fact that a 20 year old was teaching them how to do...

  2. Smoking coworkers and fair breaks

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

    I don't think it's acceptable. Two employers I worked for (1 retail, 1 health insurance) and NONE of the smokers got extra breaks. They had to smoke on their two 15 minute breaks or their 45 minute...

  3. How do you stay sexy in nursing school

    happy2learn replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in General Students

    What's wrong with a woman wanting to feel like a woman at work? I've met plenty of nurses, of all ages, in the Emergency Department of a Level 1 Trauma Center, who kept a feminine appearance and...

  4. Am I alone or has no place in this so-called earth?

    happy2learn replied to kvdlr's topic in General Nursing

    Your ex is a douche and good riddens. :hlk: You're way better off without him. Do whatever you need to do to stay here. If you want it bad enough, you won't give up. You won't let anyone or anything...

  5. Economy/ Nursing Students

    happy2learn replied to RN-4Ever's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nope, if anything, I think the economy is making MORE people go to school. Enrollment has risen drastically at all my area schools since the economy tanked. Now, I wish people would actually do...

  6. HELP!! My husband is killing my study schedule...

    happy2learn replied to ginmarada's topic in General Students

    Don't know where you heard that because that is not always the case. My husband expects me to pursue a career, just as I expect him

  7. Anatomy and Physiology I and II - drop out rate

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

    My teacher did not change how he graded and he did not change the tests or anything. And half the class dropped in A&P 1. I'd say 1/3 dropped in A&P 2, and maybe 1/3 dropped A&P 3 (we're...

  8. Is my GPA to low for Darton College Nursing Program

    happy2learn replied to Success88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, that was nice of them, wasn't it! Maybe you could try posting this thread in the region section, under the state where the college is? Maybe you'll get more informative replies

  9. Update: A Lesson in Family, Ethics and End of Life

    happy2learn replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    I remember seeing your previous thread. What a sad situation. I'm so sorry to hear this. I know someone who read this book when they found out a family member of theirs was not going to have much...

  10. Is my GPA to low for Darton College Nursing Program

    happy2learn replied to Success88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why don't you ask the nursing department of that school. I've had schools tell me the average GPA of applicants they accepted in the previous

  11. How much time do you *really*spend studying?

    happy2learn replied to yesitslaura's topic in General Students

    Depends on what classes I'm taking. Over the summer I took Micro, A&P 3, Psych 2, and the nurse aide class. I studied maybe 6 hours for each A&P test (there were 3), never studied for...

  12. Cincinnati State Technical College-- Has anyone ever attended?

    happy2learn replied to Julz034's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Not sure why now either, lol! Oh wait.... for the money... lol Oh yeah, got to love them closing down a lot! And sending emails talking about it along with calling my cell and home phone (yet they...

  13. Tips on getting volunteer experience

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

    I agree. You really aren't going to get "nursing" experience as a volunteer. However, you will be put in situations that other students won't experience. I think volunteering has allowed me to get...

  14. Can anyone become a nurse? When do I give up on being a nurse?

    happy2learn replied to satyadhi's topic in General Students

    Only you can decide when or if nursing just isn't for you. Not everyone can do it, just the same as not everyone could be a counselor, or a teacher, or a doctor, or a chef for that matter. My...

  15. Pharmacology Med Math Help.....

    happy2learn replied to Mall10's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Oh I definitely agree. I don't see anything wrong with getting some support and advice, at all. That's what the forum is here

  16. CARDIAC HELP

    happy2learn replied to RoyalNurse2010's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My A&P teacher did this box thing and I loved it! It just really made it easy to understand and see, as far as the basics are concerned. If I could doodle on here, I'd draw it for you. Otherwise...

  17. Stna skill test help

    happy2learn replied to tjf0809's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The ones in bold or the ones that state that they have to be done before a specific task must be done in order. For example: You must lock the bed brakes before assisting the resident to get out of...

  18. Pharmacology Med Math Help.....

    happy2learn replied to Mall10's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    For future info, it's usually really helpful if you post what answer you got and/or how you get there and then people can comment from there and help you out. That way they can see exactly what area...

  19. What to give a nurse when they retire?

    happy2learn replied to psychnurse25's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is totally going to depend on how close you were with this nurse. If you weren't that close, I think the spa certificates are a great idea. But, if you were close, and this is someone who you...

  20. So tired of crappy treatment by seasoned nurses!

    happy2learn replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Well said! Lots of good

  21. Bad neighborhood?

    happy2learn replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    I volunteer at a hospital in a "bad neighborhood." I just keep my windows rolled up when I leave the hospital garage, and keep the music down low. As long as you don't go walking around the hospital,...

  22. Special Ways to be supportive

    happy2learn replied to SNboyfriend's topic in General Students

    Umm, you are so sweet! What a lucky girl! All the advice you have received is great. Just remember to tell her how proud you are of her and how much you love her. Just encourage her. To me, knowing...

  23. Cincinnati State Technical College-- Has anyone ever attended?

    happy2learn replied to Julz034's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Good to know! Thanks for correcting me. I was always under the impression you had to be a PCA or have a year of nursing clinical

  24. So tired of crappy treatment by seasoned nurses!

    happy2learn replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    From what you can see? Were you there? No. You didn't observe the situation so you don't know what truly happened. None of us do. Which is why the comment I made, which you are referring to, is in...

  25. osteoporosis

    happy2learn replied to nursestudent7's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry to hear this. Just want to offer you some support. :hug: I'm a student as well. Being a nurse doesn't necessarily mean you will have to always lift heavy things alone. If you work in an...
