    bad idea?

    Music in My Heart replied to future nicu nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your profile says that you're 18 which means that you don't have much college experience. For that reason I'd recommend caution. On the other hand, if you took multiple AP classes in high school and...

    SPC - No O-Chem?

    Music in My Heart replied to cc33702's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes... the program knows for sure. If their published material doesn't say you need to take organic chemistry then you don't need

    How difficult is the GRE?

    Music in My Heart replied to justme1972's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I didn't think the GRE was very difficult but I've taken a ton of math in college. If the only math you've had is nursing math then I think you might find it difficult. As I recall the GRE included...

    Music in My Heart replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unless you've already got a basic understanding of algebra, it's a big mistake to take 'em together. One builds on the other. Does your school offer intersession

    shortage of nursing jobs?

    Music in My Heart replied to metalgirl70's topic in Nursing Career

    Since you have a Bachelors degree, take a look at the 2nd-degree program at Sac State. They were originally going to have it be a direct-entry Masters program but that hasn't worked out for some...

    supplimental texts

    Music in My Heart replied to june2009's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I could not disagree more. For me, this is undoubtedly the worst textbook that I've ever used in any field of study. I find it overly verbose and poorly organized. It seems to go out of its way to...

    Best way to become an RN?

    Music in My Heart replied to DL400's topic in Nursing Career

    You need to get in wherever you can get in. Your GPA is working against you so you need to really perform in your prerequisites. If you think you can do well I would consider taking some additional...

    Music in My Heart replied to Anotherguy's topic in Men in Nursing

    At least in these parts (SF-Sac region of Cali), psych jobs are tough to come by, especially for new grads. Our program director just told us that they had a graduate last class who was outstanding...

    New Grad Applications -- Transcripts Required?

    Music in My Heart posted a topic in General Nursing

    To anybody who's applied for or hired for a new-grad position in the last few years, I've got a question. Are transcripts ever requested? Usually? Occasionally? Rarely? Never?

    what do nurses hate about doctors?

    Music in My Heart replied to futureMD's topic in General Nursing

    Here's another one: A physician who, because of his/her personal religious faith, is reluctant to recommend palliative care in favor of "curative" care for a patient who's horribly uncomfortable and...

    what do nurses hate about doctors?

    Music in My Heart replied to futureMD's topic in General Nursing

    Here's an example from clinicals a couple weeks back. We had a patient awaiting transfer. Physician had written and signed orders but not signed the transfer sheet. Patient cannot go without it....

    Did You Settle for Nursing?

    Music in My Heart replied to sarahrn2be's topic in General Nursing

    I'm really put off by this statement. Not because of anything to do with nurses but because it trivializes true poverty just as when a well-fed person says "I'm starving" to mean they're very hungry...

    Did You Settle for Nursing?

    Music in My Heart replied to sarahrn2be's topic in General Nursing

    If your life's dream is to be a physician then why would you choose to become a nurse or anything else besides a physician? Of course, only a small percentage of medical school applicants are actually...

    Math problem confusion

    Music in My Heart replied to godsgrl444's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The most valuable piece of advice I can offer is to show ALL of your units ALL of the time. I've tutored a lot of chemistry for the BSN students and this is the root of the majority of their problems....

    Math problem confusion

    Music in My Heart replied to godsgrl444's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You're taking shortcuts with your units and that's a sure path to confusion. You understand the 60 mL, right? (10 mL for the 2 grams of drug + 50 mL for the NaCl) For how long are you going to run it?...

    Bullying in the workplace

    Music in My Heart replied to nmred's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I also believe that the "hardened" targets have a responsibility to stand alongside the weaker ones and confront the bullies shoulder-to-shoulder. Bullies get away with it because it's tacitly...

    Don't worry about "looking dumb." Dumb would be the person who just blindly went forward without asking for help. In fact, that's the very root of the word dumb... to be mute... that is, not to speak...

    Wait list vs. no wait list

    Music in My Heart replied to JettaDP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some of the community colleges admit by lottery. I don't have a list, though. Most, or all, of the BSN programs at the CSU/UC schools admit by competition so there's not waiting
