    Music in My Heart replied to Rylee2008's topic in General Students

    I completely agree regarding the inappropriate attitude that some nurses have toward pain medication... as though they are the moral arbiters as to whether a patient should receive the ordered...

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

    VENT: school still ruining my life after graduation

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

    Very, very frustrating.If you know that your school has sent out your transcripts then I'd start calling the BRN every day, about five minutes before they open (0800 or 0830, I'd guess), and just keep...
