    Music in My Heart replied to pugluvr310's topic in General Students

    It seems that you've taken much offense where none was intended nor even really provoked. I've reviewed all the threads and I don't think any of the three of us was condescending. We were just...

    Male Nurses attending to female patients (morals vrs ethics)

    Music in My Heart replied to nkmorale's topic in Male Nursing Students

    One other thought (which I also made in another thread): When we're talking about kids, it just shouldn't be. A male nurse is fine for most care but they absolutely should not be providing peri care....

    Male Nurses attending to female patients (morals vrs ethics)

    Music in My Heart replied to nkmorale's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I don't really have a problem if a gal doesn't want a guy nurse to be providing peri care or in the labor room. We're there to help her, she's not there to help us. If I make her uncomfortable then...

    Anyone have a "Hell Week"?

    Music in My Heart replied to modelmama07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not this week for me. I did have a similar week like yours except that mine was straight physiology, not A&P, and I had a statistics test to boot. I got A's across the board, though. Now Hell...

    trying to decide on nursing program

    Music in My Heart replied to fatima a.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can only imagine how hard it would be to be a successful nursing student while working full time. I'm sure that some can do it but I'd be awfully careful about choosing that path. Daytonite's right...

    GPA dilemma

    Music in My Heart replied to cina23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would apply to EVERY school in the geographic region. The reality is that your undergrad GPA is going to work against you so you need to better your odds by shotgunning. As others have said, each...

    I hope you guys figure out a way to get what you want. Personally, I'm not planning to attend our pinning ceremony. For me, as a 45-year-old man with one professional career behind me, it just has no...

    Music in My Heart replied to NPs4health's topic in Nursing Career

    Just one bit of caution: Be very careful in tossing about the "it's not safe" phrase. Safety is subjective and is an easy cop-out for why somebody might not like a work environment. If I were an...

    Reasons Why YOU Won't Join A Union

    Music in My Heart replied to SBinGA's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Just today I read a couple of different threads here on AN where nurses were lamenting the unethical and/or unprofessional behavior of doctors, CNAs, or colleagues. In each case, the poster said words...

    Reasons Why YOU Won't Join A Union

    Music in My Heart replied to SBinGA's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    A teacher without a union contract gets fired because a vociferous and/or locally powerful parent doesn't like them -- too bad for the teacher. An airline pilot gets fired because s/he can be replaced...

    What's nursing school like?

    Music in My Heart replied to Doug85's topic in Male Nursing Students

    First semester winding down and it's not that bad, IMO. It is a lot of work but isn't any harder than the other subjects I've studied. It's not easy but I don't find it to be that hard. We're...

    Very well put. The stuff you describe above is why I've been anti-union for so long. (My wife is a CTA member...I know...believe me, I know) However, after nearly 20 years of unrepresented...

    My advice is to look for a different program. I'm in a direct-entry MSN and it runs about $12,000 start-to-finish. Being 40 would make you the 5th oldest in our program so don't sweat that
