    Short Term RN Job

    Music in My Heart replied to caliotter3's topic in General Nursing

    If we're going to have no-strike clauses then we should have the same statuatory protection that folks like the airline pilots have: By Federal law, their expiring contracts remain in force until a...

    Who HATES the term MURSE?

    Music in My Heart replied to LuxCalidaNP's topic in Men in Nursing

    Interesting. When it comes out that I'm a nurse (or when I was in school), I'd quickly follow up with, "You can just call me Gaylord." Always good for some chuckles (or blank looks from the folks that...

    How did you convince your wife/significant other to support decision?

    Music in My Heart replied to jcmoore07's topic in Men in Nursing

    Nah. I think the stereotype is no longer about male nurses but instead that people actually care if a nurse is male. Nobody seems to bat an eye so far as I've

    New grad- Is working at a Dr.'s office a good way to start?

    Music in My Heart replied to bbie17's topic in General Nursing

    It is not a great option but it's much better than being unemployed or working at Starbucks. Be thankful that you'll at least be learning to interact with real patients and with MDs. New grads aren't...

    HELP!! I don't know if I passed & I need your opinion!!

    Music in My Heart replied to Faith0203's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Here's my advice: Chill.... You probably passed - about 90% of first-time takers do... probably more for those who pull 75 questions. Either you passed or you didn't. Presume the former, prepare for...

    Why not to go to west coast university

    Music in My Heart replied to ladynurse266's topic in General Students

    Just so you know, this isn't uncommon. At our school, we had a similar condition except that we used the ATI, not the HESI. And yes, if we didn't pass we were disenrolled... kicked out, without any...

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

    Now it's not about losing the job... It still sucks, though, because you are losing money each week that you wait for the system to grind along. Congrats on the job,

    When to apply?

    Music in My Heart replied to aerorunner80's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There's nothing to stop you from applying but be certain that you meet the posted requirements of the job. More and more places are limiting applicants to only a certain number of applications because...

    Can someone please explain "plagiarism" to me?

    Music in My Heart replied to blessed2bfree's topic in General Students

    You say that you paraphrased. That's still just putting down the original author's material, just not as an exact quotation. Here's an example: One of my instructors once said, "The kidneys are the...

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

    At least in California, after you take the NCLEX, your results aren't released until the BRN processes your file - including your transcript. Your first notification is that your name shows up on the...

    i never hear anybody mention it but the reality is that the docs also get paid to continue to treat these patients... the billing stops once they die. it's hard for me to believe that that...

    Boyfriend and school?

    Music in My Heart replied to TaraRae123's topic in General Students

    As a dad, here are some things that I would say to my own daughter: 1) Don't count on anybody to else to take care of you. You need to have the skills to earn a living, and you need to acquire those...

    A few basic concepts: Intracellular - means within the cell just like intramural sports were within the school. Extracellular - Outside of the cell (that is, the intravascular or interstitial spaces)...

    The sad thing about the present system is that it forces people to step out of the game earlier than they might need to simply in order to preserve their right to

    Assisted Suicide

    Music in My Heart replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

    I don't equate "wrong" with "illegal." The former is (IMO) a moral judgment; the latter is legal. Not all things that are morally wrong are illegal; neither are all things that are illegal morally...

    "Work History" - include clinical rotations or not?

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

    I've filled out a ton of those apps and I know of what you speak.Read between the lines, though... If they haven't provided a place to put clinical rotations then they don't really care. In one sense,...

    Nurses vs. Xray Techs

    Music in My Heart replied to jessLPN12's topic in Nursing Career

    Think about it this way... in any hospital, the ratio of RNs to Rad Techs is 10:1, 20:1, or even more. While new grad RN jobs are tough to come by right now, there are many, many more nursing jobs in...

    Help! When to call back?!

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

    Since there's been a status change - the posting has been pulled - I'd probably contact the recruiter and ask if the schedule has been firmed up. "probably in February sometime" leaves a lot of room...
