    Are accelerated programs fair?

    Music in My Heart replied to caro3334's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose you really need to define the word "fair" in order to have this discussion. According to Miriam-Webster (http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/fair), Fair = "a : marked by impartiality and honesty...

    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

    What I find sad in the discussion around ethnicity issues is that it's so polarized on all sides that I'm reluctant to share some observations that might help promote understanding in both directions....

    Am I too old to go to nursing school and into a nursing career?

    Music in My Heart replied to is58tooold's topic in General Nursing

    i would rather get ten years of work from someone who's an excellent nurse than thirty years from someone who's not. i say, admit the best candidates regardless of age. for that matter, i also believe...

    Chemistry question

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

    What are you doing, making screwdrivers and wondering what's going on? In this case, you're just going to have a slightly acidic solution of ethanol and citric

    What Would You Love to Find in the Break Room?

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

    Thanks for the input, all. It looks like fruit/veggie plates and some good coffee would take the cake (so to speak). I appreciate the "may look like a suck-up" caution. It's kind of funny because of...

    Starting Clinicals: How to Get Off on the Right Foot?

    Music in My Heart posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all. In January, I'm starting my DEMSN program and we begin clinicals immediately (which is why we must complete the CNA before we start). I just finished reading another NETY post about how poorly...

    A surgeon's perception of nursing education.

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

    Interesting statement. From what I've read here, it seems that many doctors and laymen are the ones who fail to see that the nurses are "actually the difference between life and death for some...

    Are accelerated programs fair?

    Music in My Heart replied to caro3334's topic in General Nursing

    Well put. I agree... going to college in any field is a blessing. It's too bad that more people don't see it that way. In fact, going to school all the way through is a blessing. It's sad that some...

    I'm not in an ABSN program. I'm starting a DEMSN program in January. Where are you located? My choice of schools was dictated by what was local and by

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

    Daytonite has shown you how to solve the problem. In case you don't fully understand what she's doing, I'm going to try to explain how I think about problems like this and what the problem statement...

    If it wasn't specified, you can't go wrong using the MLA or APA styles. Check out the style guides at the OWL at Purdue:

    is urine sterile??

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

    Since this is a student forum and since I'm a stickler regarding terminology, I'd like to point out that sterility is the absence of any living organism not just

    Music in My Heart replied to gigi15's topic in General Students

    Definitely, sit in the front row. If she speaks so softly that she's still drowned out by the din, she probably needs to speak up, as well. I'd go talk to the teacher and explain that you simply...

    What do you do to keep up at night to study?

    Music in My Heart replied to JBGC4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't try to stay up too late. When I get real tired, I go to sleep for a few hours. Even 3 hours sleep makes all the difference. I'd far rather go to be at 11 and get up at 2 than to try to stay up...

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

    well, i think there was a far higher percentage of the population who wanted to drink back then (and now) than there are people now who want to smoke. besides, we could just go to the next logical...

    Am I too old to go to nursing school and into a nursing career?

    Music in My Heart replied to is58tooold's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's realistic. You've got a strong science background which is a real plus and your experience as a teacher is a benefit. Cost? Well, it really depends on where you are and whether you go...

    Are accelerated programs fair?

    Music in My Heart replied to caro3334's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, it's kind of rough if you're a tweener. I was fortunate that once I decided to become a nurse, I *only* had to take physiology, microbiology, statistics, and human development in one semester in...

    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 don't know that I can educate you but certainly African-American is a much more restrictive category than "person of color" since many folks from the Pacific islands (think Haiti or Jamaica) are...

    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

    Recognize, though, that history has rendered the terms "boy" and "girl" very loaded when applied to black men and women. The term "kid" is not at all analogous to the term "boy/girl", especially when...

    Litenurse2b, I'm still stunned at what's happened to you. I keep wanting to say, "That just can't be," but of course, it is. It seems like that school and the director deserve to have the attorney...

    question about getting into a nursing program

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

    It's a good suggestion, too. I was simply offering a first-hand perspective in the hopes of aiding in that evaluation. For a very strong candidate, they are good choices because they are based on...

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

    I think it's great. I fully support the notion of having all public facilities being completely smoke-free. I am glad I live in CA where most indoor smoking is banned but I, too, hate having to walk...
