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

    As a highly experienced chem tutor I would like to comment on this statement. The time to get a tutor is NOT when "...you get behind in class..." but rather BEFORE you get behind. I've had so many...

    The standard two weeks notice is sufficient time to find quality people if it's a quality place to work. If it's not, then even a month will be a

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

    I'm sorry that you failed. It's a very humbling and painful experience. Of course, only that program can tell you that. Can you speak to the program head and determine if there's a specific set of...

    Friends mad at me because I passed and they didn't?

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

    Don't kid yourself. If that's how they're behaving, they're NOT your FRIENDS and they NEVER WERE. Let it go and leave them in their bitterness. Surely you have enough crap in your own life to deal...

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

    This thread caught my eye because my dad is in his last days or hours and suffering from bladder cancer, emphysema, and dementia. He is at home in the care of a loving family and an excellent hospice...

    90 day termination agreement

    I have never heard of anything so ridiculous. There is no way that I would agree to something like that unless they were offering something substantial in return like a guaranteed term of employment,...

    Should I become a CNA before entering an accelerated BSN Nursing program?

    Music in My Heart replied to jbjorn2b's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say you'll be hard-pressed to hold down two different part-time jobs and go through an accelerated RN program. I'd say that unless CNAs in your area get paid more than you're currently getting, I...

    Jobs while in school??

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

    I'm sure you can find a private CNA school at which you can start within a couple of weeks. Up this way, they cost around $1,100 - $1,500.You should also look at your county's ROP program or adult...

    How much per semester did you nursing school cost?

    Music in My Heart replied to 5860TomCat's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, husker. It's always nice to hear someone with something good to say about the profession that I'm about to invest 18 months and tens of thousands of dollars to

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

    One other suggestion: Go speak to the professors now and stay in touch throughout the semester. You may find that helpful in getting a slot next semester. I actually had an anatomy teacher call me at...

    Choosing NS or another baby, or both?

    Music in My Heart replied to scastillo1's topic in General Nursing

    It is a dilemma. Of course, you're 'only' 35. In five years, you can still go to nursing school. In five years, you may not still be able to have a baby. I'm starting nursing school at the age of...

    Choosing NS or another baby, or both?

    Music in My Heart replied to scastillo1's topic in General Nursing

    An accelerated program is going to take A LOT of time and energy, much more than a conventional program. Can you still do it with a baby and little kids? I'm sure that some people have but you're not...

    Music in My Heart replied to Advocate1's topic in General Nursing

    I noticed that you're less than one year into your career. Perhaps part of the reason for the 'final warning' is that you're still pretty green and they're trying to emphasize to you the seriousness...

    Taking Pre-reqs at a community college or university: Which is better?
