    Why do Male Nurses Complain about Scrub Color & other Inconsequential Issues?

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

    I think that's precisely the issue... many of us (men and women) would prefer to see nursing be considered a gender-neutral profession just as medicine has become. I'm fine with everybody wearing the...

    Welcome, blkbutterfly. There are several of us around whose experiences as NICU parents have led to us into the nursing field. It sounds like you've still got at least one application still alive so...

    Hiring freezes, cut backs?

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

    I was told by a PICU nurse there that Sutter Health has a hiring freeze in effect. The hospice nurse caring for my dad said that they are all facing multiple mandatory days off each month. Why do we...

    Which is harder?

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

    Well, it's not like working full-time now means you're a no-time mom. I would say that full-time work + part-time mom (whatever that means) + full-time school would demand more time and energy than...

    Wow. That's a lot of books....

    Music in My Heart replied to 7starbuck7's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I agree -- there's not much point in the debate. For anybody interested, review the materials from the Stanford Law Library. It seems pretty clear that copying chapters would not constitute "fair use"...

    Music in My Heart replied to 7starbuck7's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Not as far as I understand. If something is not in the public domain then the only exception to copyright law falls under the "fair use" rules for the greater public good. Wholesale copying of...

    Western Career College help!!

    Music in My Heart replied to freckles2rn's topic in California Nursing

    $5,500 per class??? You'll spend as much on two classes as it costs for five semesters in a state school DEMSN.. To me, the return-on-investment numbers just aren't there. Work, save money, and get...

    ABSN vs. BSN

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

    At my two local universities, the accelerated programs appear to be more competitive; they are cheaper and they are faster and hence attract more candidates and/or better qualified candidates. I'd...

    Music in My Heart replied to Gretchen1105's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Gretchen, do you really need to tell your boss about your future plans right now? It might be more prudent to say that you need a break from CPA prep for a few months and then break the news about...

    Am I CRAZY to stay in school?

    Music in My Heart replied to chnc1024's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It might prove worthwhile to have an RN with an ownership interest in the business. To me, the decision would depend on how I felt about going to school. Personally, I love it. It's what I'd do as a...

    Music in My Heart replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would think you'd have a chance if you ace your remaining classes, at least if the rest of your application package is compelling. You might need to look at other programs if SUNY is too...
