Religious believes expressed in nursing theories. For or against

Music in My Heart replied to justagirl81's topic in General Nursing

Well yeah, that's your view... and one shared by millions of your fellow adherents. As a nondenominational Christian I can accept the Christ part but Pete was just a dude. As is Benedict. And to...
Religious believes expressed in nursing theories. For or against

Music in My Heart replied to justagirl81's topic in General Nursing

Consider yourself nominated Stanley. Now where did I put that Stockholm phone
Religious believes expressed in nursing theories. For or against

Music in My Heart replied to justagirl81's topic in General Nursing

Just my opinion but I don't think nursing care mandates the reading of a patient's holy scriptures to them. I can acknowledge a patient's beliefs respectfully without reading their scriptures,...
Religious believes expressed in nursing theories. For or against

Music in My Heart replied to justagirl81's topic in General Nursing

It's not at all offensive to me. It does present nursing as a pseudoscience, though. It seems entirely consistent with the world view of a nun,

i think it was very sage advice that you try to work the problems. i've given you some things to think about that may lead you in the right direction. i'll bet you can do these. try to reason out the...
Good Looking Enough to be a Nurse?

Music in My Heart replied to casey1988's topic in General Nursing

Don't worry about it. I'm an ugly cuss. The patients don't seem to care. The docs... well, yeah, they seem to give a lot more attention to the cute young things but I'm not looking to impress the docs...
Potential nurse...scared of death

Music in My Heart replied to kix86's topic in General Nursing

One of my college jobs was doing recoveries for a mortuary in a county that had no dedicated coroner's facilities -- they did the postmortems at our place. I actually worked there for a couple weeks...
discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

Music in My Heart replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

1) I agree that a DNP and an MD are not of the same length nor rigor. 2) Many common health problems don't require the breadth and depth -- and the resultant cost -- of a medical doctor's education...
CNL or my job

Music in My Heart replied to soccer12's topic in General Nursing

I'm unclear. Are you wondering about going into nursing at all or are you wondering if a direct-entry CNL program is the right means for you to become a nurse? I'm in a direct-entry CNL program. As...
new grad -3 yrs ago. homemaker. now, cant find job

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

You definitely need to focus your search on areas where new grads are sought after. In many areas, the supply of new grads far outpaces the number of positions for them. Applying into one of those...
Potential nurse...scared of death

Music in My Heart replied to kix86's topic in General Nursing

It is normal to think about, have compassion for, and even grieve with a family who's lost a loved one. It's not normal to let that "run away with you." It is normal to look at a dying child and...
How much math is required?

Music in My Heart replied to Mallory85's topic in General Nursing

To get through nursing school you're going to have to get a handle on the basics of working with fractions and percentages (they're really the same thing, it turns out) and being able to solve SIMPLE...
Nursing advice

Music in My Heart replied to cherisse12286's topic in General Nursing

Study diligently Do more than simply what is required; learn everything you can, as well as you can. Set your personal standards higher than the expectations of your instructor Read the assignments;...
Math calc exam question help

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

This is pretty rudimentary stuff that any decent chemistry tutor could walk you through. Talk to the chem teacher at the local high school or junior college -- they might be interested in tutoring or...
Almost made 1st med error. Who's at fault?

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

I'm curious, which drug guide did you check? I just looked up methylprednisolone in Mosby's Drug Guide for Nurses by Linda Skidmore-Roth and found the following items which might have provided some...
Almost made 1st med error. Who's at fault?

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

I think you know the answer to your question -- read the vials. I'm very thankful for you and your patient that (a) the delay allowed the precipitation to take place, (b) that you noticed it, and ©...
Confused and frustrated!

Music in My Heart replied to JJG07's topic in International Nursing

Oh that's just silly. There are excellent nurses from every country and terrible nurses from every country. National heritage has nothing to do with being an excellent nurse. Interestingly, I've come...
Norway needs more Pinoy nurses, other skilled workers

Music in My Heart replied to dave787's topic in Philippines

Danger signs in this article: There's nothing special about the Philippines. If they need the workers then so be it. This sentence sounds like a recruiting flier. This sounds mighty suspicious to...
Norway needs more Pinoy nurses, other skilled workers

Music in My Heart replied to dave787's topic in Philippines

What struck me was the $6,000 fee to be paid by the candidates to the 'school'. That and the thought of trying to live in the world's most expensive city on $3,000 per month. I live near San Francisco...
Ugh, my insomnia is killing me

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

Been there/am there, done/doing that... Just as often as having trouble falling asleep are the nights where I go down at 2300 and then awaken at 0100 and remain so for the rest of the night. Ugh. At...
Advice needed: EMT training or CNA training?

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

Dang it. I hate it when I jump in on a stale thread. This guy/gal was making this decision back in 2002 and hasn't logged on for over a year... All the opinions are worthwhile,

Advice needed: EMT training or CNA training?

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

I would say that NEITHER of them is going to help you become a CRNA. Admission to a CRNA program is going to depend on your overall college grades, your grades in nursing school, the quality of your...
What do Junior Colleges Require?

Music in My Heart replied to love2nurse4life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

The JCs out here require basic college math... sort of an Intro to Algebra kind of thing. Pretty rudimentary stuff that most people can handle unless they've got a math learning
Which program is best?

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

That program is best which is the one to which you're admitted. Apply to every program that's within commuting distance and hope that you have the mixed blessing of having to choose between
