    Ah, I get it. Stressed out and questioning one's competence and abilities... sure, pretty normal, I'd say. My program was very disorganized and uncertainty was routine. Personally, I coped by...

    Need help deciding if CRNA is right for me?

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

    You're kind of putting the cart before the horse. For now, focus on becoming a nurse. Then, focus on getting into a critical care unit. Then you can start looking in detail at

    Terror? That doesn't sound normal. It certainly wasn't my experience or that of the people with whom I was fairly close through nursing school. It sounds like you could benefit from learning anxiety...

    SO am I the only one who loves LTC?

    Music in My Heart replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    We get the occasional SNFer on our floor... ugh. All I can say is, bless you Sue - and the others like you. I have enormous respect for you and your work... it's beyond my capability to do it

    patient dies from combination of drugs that doc prescribed. who is responsible?

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

    The other party with some potential culpability is the pharmacist who dispensed the medications. They are the ones with the primary responsibility to catch prescription errors because they are the...

    Should I make the decision to switch career?

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

    Why would you choose to become a nurse? The job market is something to be very concerned about. It may improve in the next few years but it may not. Meanwhile, it becomes more and more saturated with...

    Frustration & No RN Job Opportunities

    Music in My Heart replied to LuvScrubs2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    All hiring new grads, huh? Word out in the ether is that NY is a brutal place for new grads looking for a start. If you're right that all those places are hiring new grads then there is soon to be a...

    Have a BS in Biology now - what's next? ASN or BSN? HELP!

    Music in My Heart replied to Guest405338's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In the past I'd have said go with whichever route is the quickest because I figured that we'd be ending up where we are with regard to new grads struggling to find work in an ever increasingly...

    Med Surg or Peds

    Music in My Heart replied to Hopeful2011's topic in General Nursing

    The only reason that peds was a little more challenging is because it opened up a whole new range of normal and that it keeps changing as they get older. For example, there's not just one normal range...

    I don't know about the TOEFL, etc. I would have thought the answer was "yes" but if they don't say so on their website then perhaps not.It can be nearly impossible to reach the CA BRN by telephone. I...

    Help! I'm new and don't know what to do!

    Music in My Heart replied to CalledtoCare's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I had my lead nurse tell me, "It's not a sprint... it's not even a marathon... it's a relay. Do what you can do and pass the rest of to the next runner." This just goes to show you that perception...

    Associates in Nursing vs Bachelors?

    Some hospitals apparently prefer BS degrees to AS degrees but most seem to be without preference. Many nurses seem look down on those with higher degrees unless they have significant clinical...

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

    It's tough to sell bailing out of orientation for another job as anything other than being selfish and opportunistic. I'd probably do the same thing, mind you, but I wouldn't expect anything positive...

    Nursing school Vs. Nursing Prereqs

    Music in My Heart replied to tag2007's topic in General Students

    As someone else alluded to, the challenge in nursing school wasn't with the material but simply the pace (unrelenting) and the stakes (one misstep can get you tossed). For the most part, students who...
