    ethics question...

    Music in My Heart replied to lisacp75's topic in California Nursing

    If you're asking whether it's unethical to hide part of the academic record then the answer is yes. I would also point out that discovery of such would be grounds for expulsion. The poor grades will...

    Owning a home in California

    Music in My Heart replied to love-d-OR's topic in California Nursing

    Long ago, I felt the same way as you do. Houses were running $180k but I was earning $30k. About 9 years later, I had been saving my money diligently. I'd been married for about a year, continuing to...

    Question guys...what field of nursing are you going into?

    Music in My Heart replied to kgh31386's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm drawn to the NICU and will ultimately consider an NP. However, I may instead decide to purse a PhD in the hopes of becoming a professor at our local university. Gotta graduate and get a few years...

    "Serum osmolarity" vs. "Serum osmolality"

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

    i guess i'm missing something. our replies look similar to me except that i generalized osmolality to the mass of any solute instead of specifying water. i'm overstressed and under-rested so i guess...

    "Serum osmolarity" vs. "Serum osmolality"

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

    Strictly speaking osmolarity and osmolality are not the same thing. The former is the osmoles of solute per liter of solution while the latter is the osmoles of solute per kilogram of solvent. For...

    Math...again

    Music in My Heart replied to redneckrn2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    here's what i get: if the "154" means "154 kg" then 0.5 mg/kg/hr x 154 kg = 77 mg/hr if the "154" means "154 lb" then 0.5 mg/kg/hr x 154 lb x (1 kg/2.2 lb) = 35 mg/hr 35 mg/hr x (500 ml/1 gm) x (1...

    Question regarding class curves

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

    Not one of my prerequisites has been curved. Very few of any of my classes have been. I think curves are ridiculous and have never needed the benefit of

    Can someone good in micro please help me? I'm lost.

    Music in My Heart replied to Pinky05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's kind of a trick question, to me. When I looked at this yesterday, I thought the same thing as turbohound. Then I thought, "Well, if he wants it to be 'not a lot', perhaps he means how many types...

    Another micro question! :)

    Music in My Heart replied to jess17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The distinguishing features between S. aureus and S. epidermidis are: 1) S. aureus can ferment manitol while S. epidermidis cannot 2) S. aureus is pigmented a golden yellow color (hence, the name)...

    A&P II and Microbio

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

    For us, anatomy and physiology are two separate classes. I took physiology and microbiology together (along with statistics). It was manageable but it was a lot of work. Those classes, with a...

    Music in My Heart posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    My daughter was a 27 weeker who spent 99 days in the NICU. We were fortunate to be able to visit her every day (well, I missed a few for being sick but MOM was there every day). We took a ton of...

    Music in My Heart replied to Music in My Heart's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thanks all for the positive feedback. I've shared it with my wife and she's flattered. All you NICU nurses know how important you are to our families. For many of us NICU parents, you're why we're...

    Taking Chem in a 6 week session?

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

    I would advise against it since it's your first college science class. It's tough enough in the standard format; trying to do it an accelerated format like that is asking for

    It's sometimes hard being a nurse of color isn't it?

    Her friends may have been ELIGIBLE for the scholarships based on their ethnicities. However, they RECEIVED them because they were the most qualified applicants based upon the scholarships' selection...

    Jealous much?

    Music in My Heart replied to HeatherB,CST's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm kind of a punk, I guess, because I would've responded, "Oh, yeah, sorry. It's perfect just the way it is. Keep up the great work!!" Someday she's going to be wondering why she's getting no...

    Really stupid Micro text question...

    Music in My Heart replied to Ashera's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Caveat emptor and "If it looks to good to be true, it probably is" I don't know what the "brief" means and I'd be careful - though I suppose if you have time you're not risking too much. I'd only buy...

    Having problems with Clinical Terms :( Can anyone help

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

    Thanks. Coming from the undisputed master of useful websites, the "good find" is high praise. I will post as suggested. BTW, since we're talking about links here it's perhaps appropriate for me to...

    Having problems with Clinical Terms :( Can anyone help

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

    This seems to do what you want. For example, for "pain in a joint" look under "p" and find "arthralgia" or for "fever" look under "f" and find "pyrexia"...

    It's sometimes hard being a nurse of color isn't it?

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

    I guess to me, comparing the "dumb blond" caricature to the attitudes face by blacks and other folks of color seems to trivialize the latter. Why does it seem that way to me? I don't know. Maybe it's...

    Does being a Male help for admission

    Music in My Heart replied to surehands2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For my experience, I've had some laughably easy instructors at the university whose classes were a complete joke and the same at the CC. I've also had horribly difficult instructors at the CC and at...

    Does being a Male help for admission

    Music in My Heart replied to surehands2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, who knows for certain? However, the schools where I've seen it publicly addressed have specifically said that it does not matter where the grades are earned. That's legit to me: I've seen no...

    Does being a Male help for admission

    Music in My Heart replied to surehands2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here in California, no - at least not at the public schools. They're statutorily prohibited from considering gender or ethnicity in their selection

    Why don't they make ALL the requirements the same???

    Music in My Heart replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with you. Not only is it frustrating that there is no standard "pre-nursing" program, it's very laborious to find out all the prerequisites at the various schools. I sure wish somebody (AACN?)...

    Question about pre-reqs....

    Music in My Heart replied to sc0628's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Absolutely it will be hard. I, too, took physiology and microbiology together (along with statistics). If you are a good student, you have a solid science background (chemistry and introductory...

    Hi, I'm new here on a personal quest :)

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

    I would also say, don't discount your age. If you can get into med school in 2009, you graduate in 2013. Now tack on a 3-year residency and now it's 2016. Now you're 38 or 39 and you're just starting...
