    RNs tell your hospitals to hire new grads

    Music in My Heart replied to DedHedRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Gasp!Oh yeah, a number of my coworkers have grandkids... and what most of them lack in physical prowess, they more than make up for with clinical experience and psychomotor expertise. The young 'uns...

    RNs tell your hospitals to hire new grads

    Music in My Heart replied to DedHedRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't know why you feel the need to take the condescending tone that you do. Because of it, I'll not be engaging with you anymore.Nobody's arguing that the population isn't aging. And I certainly...

    RNs tell your hospitals to hire new grads

    Music in My Heart replied to DedHedRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Agreed...My home and my job are over 200 miles apart. And I'm in no hurry to leave since I feel strongly that the hospital deserves to recoup its investment in my initial training and by burning them,...

    Music in My Heart replied to DedHedRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Again, you're speculating.Just because people are aging - or even in need of health care - doesn't mean that (a) they will be able to purchase the care that they need, (b) that the care will be given...

    Things you would LOVE to say to your nursing instructors...

    Music in My Heart replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in General Students

    1) Thank you for showing up early to determine patient assignments that were appropriate for my level of knowledge. 2) Thank you for listening to my career plans and trying to schedule my clinical...

    RNs tell your hospitals to hire new grads

    Music in My Heart replied to DedHedRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Question for you... how old is too old; how fat is too fat? I think I see your point regarding "able to do the job" but that's an individual thing, not based on someone's perception of "too old" or...

    RNs tell your hospitals to hire new grads

    Music in My Heart replied to DedHedRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Again, that's speculation which may... or may not... prove correct. You've mixed your tenses in your thesis sentence: "are getting" and "will need" is suppositional, not

    RNs tell your hospitals to hire new grads

    Music in My Heart replied to DedHedRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would never, ever allow myself or a loved one to set foot in a hospital which paid their nurses minimum wage... and this was true even before I graduated from nursing school 18 months ago. Minimum...

    Grandmas doing kangaroo care?

    Music in My Heart replied to aerorunner80's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    For sure, it should be only with the permission of dad or mom but, if granted, is very good for the kids (IMO) be it with grandparents, aunts/uncles, siblings... Any hour that a stable kid can be...

    Could the client sue me for this?

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

    Given that the OP is not in the US, your statements may or may not be accurate (let's hope she's not in a Sharia-law country).Even in the US, the laws vary by state. In California, under a law...

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

    I'm not sure how this is a training issue. I'm only 15 months out and I got that stuff figured out pretty quickly... and it wasn't a matter of being told, it was a matter of making it my personal...

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

    Yes, true... even if you're teacher doesn't know what they're doing and insists on you doing it incorrectly, you should just do what they want... it's not worth trying to fight it.Too bad so many...

    Music in My Heart replied to Blackbear13's topic in General Nursing

    If he *really* told your friend to have you call, then probably it was an accidental hang-up and you should call back. However... your friend may have misinterpreted what he said or may be stretching...

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

    She *could* but it's very unlikely that she'd win.However, you could face legal sanctions if you failed to report it... nurses are "mandated reporters," at least here in California... perhaps not...

    You should never use rounded numbers as the input data for subsequent steps in serial calculations -- it introduces error at each

    Pediatric Dosage Calculation Question

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

    I wonder if the disregard for significant figures indicates a lack of understanding on the part of the instructors. I'm curious what an MD or RPh would say. The *real* answer would be 950 mg... though...

    MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    Music in My Heart replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    And me...I also think it's just wrong to bail out on the employer that put you through their new-grad program. To be blunt, actions such as those that you're considering are a big reason why nobody...

    Music in My Heart replied to Laurel32's topic in General Nursing

    The good thing is that, at the age of 17, you have plenty of time to regroup and pursue other options if it proves a bad decision. Many of us no longer have such luxuries. Choose
