    Should I retake the course?

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

    There's certainly risk entailed in standing pat with your present grade. However, there's a significant risk in retaking the class, too. If you earn anything less than an A, I believe that your...

    Music in My Heart replied to Hospice Nurse LPN's topic in General Students

    Meanwhile, you need to protect yourself and assume that you're doing the project solo. You should be working on the project and figure that you're going to have to do the whole thing yourself. If your...

    Should I transfer? UC Davis student

    Music in My Heart replied to vegchick91's topic in California Nursing

    If you've got the cash to stay at UCD and get a degree that you really don't have any use for then go for it. Otherwise, try to transfer to a school with a BSN program while also getting on the...

    Yahoo once again touting RN Jobs

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

    Well that's certainly part of it...The other part of it is that Yahoo! (and MSN and all the others) just recycle the same text over and over. This is just a generic, boilerplate piece that relies on...

    Ditto, CatLady. I started out feeling silly but just came to view it as an acting gig and as much-needed practice. One way that I helped prepare was to reheorifice scenarios while alone in my car. It...

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

    It doesn't mean anything... it's just boiler-plate lingo to tell you that, of the hundreds of applicants, they found others that they wanted more. Possible reasons: 1) Just luck of the draw... they...

    Did being a CNA make you NOT want to be a nurse anymore?

    Do nurses still time tape the bag when hanging fluids?

    Music in My Heart replied to Selene006's topic in General Nursing

    Sharpie seems like not such a good idea. Going by the smell of them I'd have to conclude that they have a reasonable probability of volatile components diffusing through the plastic into the

    Music in My Heart replied to Bo Shoi Ming's topic in General Nursing

    The very easy thing regarding the spell checker is to set up a .DIC file for Word. Word will then not flag the words in the .DIC file and will offer them up as possible replacements for words that are...

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

    As a parent who has had a child being cared for by some pretty sketchy nurses (thankfully, the small minority of the group), I completely understand and endorse the use of cameras. It's not about...

    Your grades are what they are and they are part of your cumulative GPA. That said, GPA is in the eye of the beholder (so to speak) and the USC grades may show on a new transcript as something like,...
