    SIDS Pediatric Code

    Music in My Heart replied to harrird's topic in Emergency

    I had my first (and only) SIDS code about a year ago. It still stays with me... we were working this kid though it was clearly a show-code for all of us... poor kid had moved on long before we got...

    Is pulling a 200 lb patient different than lifting them

    Music in My Heart replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    As stated, pulling is much more risky than is lifting. This is due to simple body mechanics. Proper lifting, with the hips tucked under the shoulders, shoulders back, knees bent, and core rigid...

    Help :'( I'm lost on the steps I need to take to go into med school.

    Music in My Heart replied to brie_1994's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    To speak or not in class

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

    Who cares if you annoy your classmates?It's the teacher that you need to impress; they're the one that you'll be hitting up for a reference letter, not your classmates. Don't be a weenie about it but,...

    To speak or not in class

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

    Wait a few seconds, glance around, and if nobody else is volunteering then go for it. Who cares whether the other students think you're a brown-noser or a know-it-all... and what's wrong with knowing...

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

    "Easier" way? I don't know what way you're using so it's hard to say. What I found worked best for me was to really understand the electrophysiology of the heart... from there, it's pretty simple to...

    Aural learning style and a bad teacher

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

    Nursing is a subject far too broad to expect a teacher to be able to cover all the details in lectures. They can cover the high points and then you need to learn to learn by reading out of a text...

    APA Format and You...

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

    Buy PERRLA... save your money on the APA book... the book won't provide you anything that you need. PERRLA will pretty much have you covered and you can use various websites (I'm a fan of Purdue's...

    I hope this doesn't come as a surprise to you as it's been going on for years. I graduated three years ago and found the only job I could get was at a critical-access hospital very far from home - and...

    8s vs 12s; night shift or day shift?

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

    OTOH, 3x12 gives you a day or two to invest in doing case studies of the patients you had without giving up all your time off.Mostly, I'd just get any job you're able without too much concern for...

    8s vs 12s; night shift or day shift?

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

    For the sake of learning, I think 5x8 is preferable only because you have less off-time per week. I also think days provide better learning opportunities and a larger safety net for new nurses because...
