    Would You Prefer a Male Nurse?

    Music in My Heart replied to djc1981's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I've been a med-surg patient a number of times. I've mostly had female nurses but a couple of guys, too. It didn't make any diff to me. As the parent of six-year-old daughter who was in the PICU, I...

    "Serum osmolarity" vs. "Serum osmolality"

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

    The other distinction, although subtle, is that one involves kg of solvent while the other involves liters of solution. Again, for dilute aqueous solutions it really makes no difference but beyond the...

    Here in my part of Northern California, there is NO NURSING SHORTAGE at all, at least in the acute care hospitals. There are relatively few job postings for any shift. From what I read, many new grads...

    I'm in the first semester of an accelerated program and here's my perspective: 1) Physiology - Make sure you conduct an extensive review before you start because that's the foundational science. 2) A...

    Question about Sub-Q injections

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