    57 and need to start over YET AGAIN!

    Music in My Heart replied to Bailey246's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't have any real suggestions for the OP or the others facing the bias (which, IMO, has nothing to do with money - they only have to pay you what you'll accept, which is probably a lot less than...

    Music in My Heart replied to country3's topic in General Students

    Learning off-label stuff is cool... I just gave Demerol for rigors. Only used it for pain control in the past. OP, it'll really sink in the first time you have someone manifest the serious...

    I am about to quit with no notice and no warning

    Music in My Heart replied to okkennk28's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Quitting abruptly, without notice, is unprofessional... period. While I completely empathize with the emotion - and I would detest being a case manager... thankless, no-win job IMO - shame on you if...

    New grad feeling left out

    Music in My Heart replied to lovelylady3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    While I understand the difficulty of working there, I don't really understand having quit at 8 months... both too soon and too late. I would echo the prior statement about "new grad insecurity." Based...

    I have an interview in a level 1 trauma center, need advice!

    Music in My Heart replied to k-flo's topic in Emergency

    In some facilities, many people would rather work nights due to less interaction with management and a generally more relaxed atmosphere.

    Calling all new ER grads starting Feb 2013

    Music in My Heart replied to sharon2012rn's topic in Emergency

    First off, don't be terrified. Terror yields nothing helpful. I, too, precepted in a NICU but ended up as a m/s nurse before landing in the ED. When the ED is fun, it's an absolute blast... especially...

    Whats your biggest pet peeve working in the ED?

    Music in My Heart replied to Whts_Ur_Emergency?'s topic in Emergency

    From tonight: A grown man screaming when I put a 20 in his AC... screaming. I had another man screaming, literally, from the pain in his arm... maybe a mild cellulitis... The attending finally said,...

    Self Review for NCLEX???

    Music in My Heart replied to jaice's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the NCLEX 6 weeks after graduation and passed with 75 questions in 60 minutes. I studied a little bit from Saunders but not aggressively. I did not take any of the review courses and I think...

    At what body weight percentage is a person dead?

    Music in My Heart replied to truckinusa's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well... not so fast, there."Do nothing" is a clearly UNREASONABLE answer... frankly, even if they were dead (which would be an off-topic question)... which is an assumption that you made by reading...

    How far would you commute to an OB job?

    Music in My Heart replied to Guest694054's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I commuted 3.5 hrs each way (obviously with mid-rotation stay-overs) for a job that was way less than a dream job. My commute now, including the long walk from parking into the building, ranges from...

    Interview with "Inappropriate" Questions

    Music in My Heart replied to Heavenly4505's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Only once have I been asked illegal questions, which I chose to answer honestly - though I did consider politely dodging the questions. I did work there and it turned out to be the most hellish work...

    Pharmacology Flashcards (drug cards)

    Music in My Heart replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I do know, Esme... I troll, too :-) It's gratifying to see something that I did almost 5 years back continue to have value and help other people. The views of the first card set is over 12,000.

    Pharmacology Flashcards (drug cards)

    Music in My Heart replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I do hope they're helpful. I found the format to evolve from set to set. I made extensive use of VBA macros to customize the details on each card like the spacing and the font size. Part of the way...

    Music in My Heart replied to Westm88's topic in Patient Medications

    Well this particular one is super simple.Say you wanted your 50mL to infuse over 1 hour, what would you set it at? 50mL/hr, right? However, you don't want it to run over an hour (that is, 60 minutes)...

    Worried about my future as a nurse, and afraid I'll be fired

    Music in My Heart replied to j_tay1981's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You should. Keep in mind that management values that, too. Be careful about trying to change too much at one time... it's the 'too many moving parts' syndrome. If you change a bunch of things at...
