  1. Paying for priority

    happy2learn replied to HamsterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my. I read this entire thread. I don't have an issue with VIP perks, such as having their own floor, or room, or special food. If people want to pay for that then more power to them. I have a...

  2. Gonorrhea

    happy2learn replied to kagkat's topic in General Nursing

    OP - Are you able to access your school's library resources online? That's how I look up all the articles I use for research

  3. So tired of crappy treatment by seasoned nurses!

    happy2learn replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Well OP, I wasn't there. It's hard to say how someone really treated you when you weren't there. So I'm not going to try and determine if they were rude or not, as many on here have been trying to do....

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

    happy2learn replied to Julz034's topic in Ohio Nursing

    That's true. The only hospital I've seen hire LPN's recently is the Tri Health network. There are quite a few STNA jobs. There are less in hospitals than LTC, but there are some. Many hospitals want...

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

    happy2learn replied to Julz034's topic in Ohio Nursing

    That's definitely true. Though, 90% of my classes seemed to be in the nursing program. Although, 1 of them did drop out and switch to DMS. They haven't raised the minimum GPA, I wish they would. I...

  6. Prioritizing patients

    happy2learn replied to obfuscate's topic in General Nursing

    For goodness sake! At least make AN EFFORT at doing your own homework. You're asking people to prioritize and explain why, well why don't you prioritize and explain why first. Don't expect people to...

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

    happy2learn replied to Julz034's topic in Ohio Nursing

    LPN program will take you one year(after you finish the requirements/pre-reqs to get into the class). Then maybe a month or 2 to pass boards. Then you must be employed for 1000 hours. If you work full...

  8. Brain surgery last week, then coming to ED for pain. Wait 4 hours to be seen.

    happy2learn posted a topic in General Nursing

    Nurses, I want to know your take on this situation. I'm not a nurse, just a student. I volunteer at the ED. Families talk to me about what's going on and I listen. This family came in and you could...

  9. Physical- Dealbreaker????

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

    They aren't looking for an athlete, if that's what your worried about. The MD or NP just checks off that you are capable of performing the duties of a nurse. That's

  10. Do you ever get the feeling your professors are trying to weed you out?

    happy2learn replied to mell260's topic in General Students

    I agree. Actually, my A&P teacher flat out said this is true. He also said to expect some serious weeding out in

  11. My friends won't be in my study group!

    happy2learn replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I agree with Saysfaa. Don't offer to do things for them. That only encourages them to be lazy. Next they will be asking for your help on homework. They are perfectly capable of doing the things you...

  12. Volunteer for Hospice?

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    Thanks everyone. And anonymous student, you are completely right. It's hard to not feel that crying is unprofessional. I appreciate your advice. Thank you so much. You made me feel a lot better about...

  13. Volunteer for Hospice?

    happy2learn posted a topic in General Students

    My summer quarter has ended, and I'm looking to add more volunteer shifts. I can't find a job, otherwise I'd just do that. Job market stinks here. Anyways, I'm considering Hospice. Ultimately, I'm...

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

    happy2learn replied to Julz034's topic in Ohio Nursing

    stna is not a career, at least i wouldn't say. they are overworked and underpaid. it will kill your back and you will burn out quick. personally, the lpn route is a waste to me. i have no desire to...

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

    happy2learn replied to Julz034's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I bombed the math, though they said I did better than others. But I just had to take 1 developmental math class, so that was okay. English was easy. You are not going to write an essay. I took the...

  16. Major career and life crossroads

    happy2learn replied to dthfytr's topic in General Nursing

    First, I'm sorry to hear this. :hug: Humana hires RN's to work on the phone, many from home. Other insurance companies may do this as well, but I can't say. I've only worked at Humana. Here's an...

  17. I keep getting denied for graduate nursing positions. ***!

    happy2learn replied to doooitdoit's topic in General Nursing

    This is just a generic computer generated response. Don't take it

    happy2learn replied to AzMom81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I never used my access code. It came in a bundle with my book, never needed

  19. If Nursing doesn't work out,is Medical Lab Technologist ok for a "Prissy" girl ??

    happy2learn replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Nursing Career

    I wouldn't go as far as some have said and say "health" isn't for you. I understand what you mean as far as wanting to look decent. I mean, I'm probably one of the few students who actually puts on...

  20. Not a caregiver type, but considering nursing?

    happy2learn replied to wide-eyed's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in school, and I volunteer at a hospital. There are no "candy stripers." However, I've never seen a volunteer shadow a nurse, only students in clinical. You would need to contact a hospital and...

  21. My A&P access code??

    happy2learn replied to AzMom81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can't you just make a copy of the chapter you want to take with

  22. If Nursing doesn't work out,is Medical Lab Technologist ok for a "Prissy" girl ??

    happy2learn replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Nursing Career

    Nursing isn't exactly in high demand right now either, I hope you are aware of that if that is your ultimate deciding factor. There are NO new grad jobs within 150 miles of where I

    happy2learn replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Nursing Career

    happy2learn replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Nursing Career

  25. Why do we do this? Why do we allow it?

    happy2learn replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a student, and I find it beyond irritating when people come on here asking for answers for their homework. It really annoys the crap out of me. And for goodness sake, don't people know how to use...
