    HELP! Social question-over the line?

    Music in My Heart replied to jlove1821's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You certainly *could* get in trouble though I think it's unlikely. Personally, though, the *could* would be enough for me to steer

    Accelerated combined BSN/MSN programs?

    Music in My Heart replied to want2banrn's topic in General Students

    My recommendation would be to save the money and wait, unless the MSN is a clinical specialty degree with substantial advanced clinical hours.Unless it's a clinical degree, the MSN is of very little...

    How much math is involved in nursing school?

    Music in My Heart replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Students

    Seriously, if someone can't get that concept inside of about 15 minutes, they should be given the boot.Amazing to me how low are the standards for some nursing school admissions criteria. For real......

    worst death you've seen

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

    Kid deaths are tough; tougher still, for me, though, are deaths of parents of young kids. Also, watching people suffer because the docs won't let go and continue with painful tests and interventions...

    Okay, This Semester WILL be Better, Letter of Weakness or No!

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

    Don't worry too much about the study group. I know a lot of people think that they're fabulous but I've found, both through personal experience and years of tutoring, that they're also very...

    Want to be a NP, but not a nurse... so confused!!

    Music in My Heart replied to magn1jes's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I suggest you repost this as a stand-alone thread rather than hijack an existing thread. I went through such a program and would be happy to comment in the appropriate

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

    IMO, the CNA class is a waste of time unless you're intending to seek employment as an aid. If you don't need to work, I wouldn't bother; I consider working as a CNA for the "experience" to be...

    Should I report this agency to the BBB?

    Music in My Heart replied to lsvalliant's topic in Private Duty

    If you still have the advert, I'd consider taking them to small claims court to recover the "paid orientation" money and the $10 for the BG check that they never did. The BBB is a waste,

    Music in My Heart replied to dreamer827's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    31 isn't, ahem, *older.* In my class, you had to be tipping the scales toward (or past) 40 to adopt the *older* label. How to get back into it? Work your butt

    Still on orientation but got another attractive offer

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

    Yes, I think that people would hold a grudge. It's totally inappropriate, in my opinion, to take a new job shortly after starting a job - particularly while you're in orientation or shortly...

    how do you know you're ready?

    Music in My Heart replied to rncoco's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My advice is: Chill out a bit and take the test now. Over 85% of first-time takers pass the test so the odds are in your favor and it sounds like you've already been studying a bunch. I don't know...

    Things to do before the real stuff begins

    Music in My Heart replied to ams24's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree with the notion of "take time to relax." There's plenty of time for that later. Personally, I think studying medical terminology and some of the basics of pharmacology (major drug classes,...

    Do male RN's have any business learning sonography?

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

    Actually, I think it's a useless combination. There is essentially no crossover between the two fields. They interface, they don't overlap. If you get both licenses, one of them will end up as...

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

    I am - or was, anyway - an engineer. After many years, tiring of the instability and facing yet another move to stay employed, I decided to become a nurse. I went the Direct Entry MSN route. Also...

    Everyone wears scrubs!

    Music in My Heart replied to calidonrnstudent's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I agree... Identification badges denote what are the roles of each person on the staff. I think the "scrubs are earned" notion is just silly. Following that notion, one could argue that only surgical...
