  1. I'm pretty sure she did not do the TB test right

    happy2learn posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So I went to the Urgent Care to get my 2nd portion of my 2 step ppd step yesterday. My first one was negative. So while she was doing paperwork and before she injected it, we were making small talk...

    happy2learn replied to Crux1024's topic in Emergency

    We have a dedicated police staff 24/7 that are stationed in the ER as well as hospital security. The hospital mainly uses hospital security though and we use the officers. Our officers have guns and...

  6. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    happy2learn replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Some people are probably forgetting that not all ED's are equal. An ED in the rural country will be a completely different world than an ED at a Level 1 trauma center in the downtown of a large city....

  7. National Nurse's Week vs. National Hospital Week

    happy2learn replied to kat7ap's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  8. lazy preceptor I need help

    happy2learn replied to topacio's topic in General Nursing

    Someone always has to assume the new grad is automatically wrong. God forbid the experienced nurse just might be lazy. No.... The new grad must be the lazy one..... Sigh... I hope my preceptor...

  9. A Nurse CAN be both sexy & smart

    happy2learn replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    Well, yeah! I've met a few sexy male nurses. To me, "sexy" is a combination of physically attractive and having a great personality. Yes some people ooze sexy but they should never ooze sex

  10. Being overly sensitive/overly emotional when dealing with patients

    happy2learn replied to kynchanted's topic in General Nursing

    I work with families at a hospital in some very emotional situations. When I see someone cry, I find myself holding back tears. Doesn't matter how long I have known them. I don't like to see people in...

  11. Dealing with frustrating family and supervisor

    happy2learn replied to SquishyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Was she on her cell phone? We don't allow cell phone use in patient's rooms. Hospital policy. Even if it's not a cell phone, it's kinda rude of her to be chatting on the phone in her mom's room. Poor...

  12. Is volunteering at the hospital the best way to get me a job upon graduation?

    happy2learn replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

    My volunteering is the reason I got a job (not as an RN though, I'm still in school.) It was my way into HR, and it really pushed me through the process. I absolutely do not think I would've gotten a...

  13. A disgruntled ex calling the bon on me.

    happy2learn replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    I dont think the BON is interested in your numerous sexual activities. Unless you are sleeping with all yo patients..... I would file a police report. And if he does report you, then get a lawyer

  14. Questionable privacy violation on public forum?

    happy2learn replied to kashyyykrn's topic in General Nursing

    No one attacked your intentions. If you are that sensitive, an internet forum is not going to be an enjoyable place for you. Questioning and attacking are two different things. Just as you questioned...

  16. Does anyone else feel this way?

    happy2learn replied to Seth O Scope's topic in General Nursing

    Im blown away by the number of judgmental posts on here that also tell the OP to not be judgmental. Ironic. I 100% agree with heron. We are all ALLOWED to feel as we do. Its whether or not we act on...

  17. Magnet, polarization, ageism, classism

    happy2learn replied to edgarandersonrn's topic in General Nursing

    If you do a search you will see many people going through the same thing when in comes to places preferring Bsns. Btw, my local Bsn program has MORE clinical time than the Adn I am in. I know you are...

  18. Odor Query

    happy2learn replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    Is it sweat or just something seeping through your skin. I'll tell you my little embarrassing thing. When I have nasal congestion, I take Mucinex D. Seems to be the only stinkin thing that clears me...

    happy2learn replied to sandyfeet's topic in General Students

  22. Sex offenders/ residents screening?

    happy2learn replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Some facilities must do some sort of screening of some sort because there was a facility that denied a person because they had an outstanding warrant. But this guy can't walk and needs care 24/7 so...

  23. Being forced to rethink my views on fibromyalgia

    happy2learn replied to casi's topic in General Nursing

    They don't know for sure. It is thought to be caused by overactive nerves or something like that? All I know is that the pain for these people is real(minus the drug seekers- they suffer a different...

  24. Do you think it's right for nurses that are going to school do their homework at work
