    What is the BEST and WORST nursing fields?

    Music in My Heart replied to nurse441's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed... the employer and the coworkers are what make it or break it far more than anything

    Which Minor?

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

    The health information management will probably open more doors in the future. The health care industry is way, way behind in this

    Nursing as Second Career for Mature Professional w/Full-Time Job?

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

    From what I see, this may be just a "ditto" post but: 1) You like your job 2) You have no stress in your life (presumably including your job) 3) You make 80-90k per year + benefits I think you'd be...

    trying to decide whether to pursue nursing - less than supportive boyfriend

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

    Do what you think is best for yourself... what will make you best able to support yourself, irrespective of whether you have a partner. If this boyfriend is husband material, he'll back you up; if...

    OMG! Is it true that it's hard to find a job as a RN now?? Even in NY?!

    Music in My Heart replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in New York Nursing

    It's not just NY. It includes (at least) CA, OR, and WA. Supposedly there are new-grad jobs aplenty in TX and in Detroit...

    nursing career

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

    My experience thus far has been that I've been accepted completely -- except during the OB rotation during nursing school. I've mostly received very positive feedback from people. The "gay nurse"...

    Whats the deal with all the crying?!?!....

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

    Yelling and cursing are weak. Depending on the context, laughing can either be weak or not be weak... kind of like

    I actually suggested to a pre req nursing student to find another profession and fast

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

    I just didn't think nursing school was that big a deal. It did require consistent attention and good time-management skills but honestly, it just wasn't that big a deal. I've certainly done much...

    Any advice for a new grad?

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

    Sorry to break it to you but you're experiencing what many of us are... the jobs for new grads are few and far between... and the competition for them is FIERCE. Supposedly, new grads are being hired...

    New Grad - Offering to Work for Minimum Wage?

    Music in My Heart posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just applied for a job that looked very promising! Oh, but then the computer sent me an e-mail saying, "no new grads." So, I walked my résumé in by hand to at least get by the screening. I was,...

    Whats the deal with all the crying?!?!....

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

    Sure, in private, I don't care what they do. I'm talking about in front of other people. Of course, if it's done in private then nobody knows what's going down

    Whats the deal with all the crying?!?!....

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

    Crying out of sympathy or sadness is one thing. Crying due to stress, frustration, or disappointment is another. The former is appropriate, IMO... the latter,

    Whats the deal with all the crying?!?!....

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

    I don't think angry outbursts are more socially acceptable... they are, though, often tolerated for economic reasons (and not just in the healthcare workplace).I personally find neither of them to be...

    Thoughts on ATI: Assessment Technologies Institute

    Music in My Heart replied to StudentNurseElle's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ours were 15% of the grade. I don't know whether it was worth it or not. I did easily pass the NCLEX but I'm pretty sure I would've done just as well even if I had just used Saunders. Regardless, I...

    Thoughts on ATI: Assessment Technologies Institute

    Music in My Heart replied to StudentNurseElle's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My school did (and does) what yours does - ATI subject tests as finals and must achieve 95% level on comprehensive final in order to graduate. My thought: It's OK.. not great, but not bad. Kind of...

    Anyone Cath themselves?

    Music in My Heart replied to Product's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I had an MS patient who straight-cath'd herself routinely. But in terms of students putting in Foleys on themselves, that's hard to imagine. We practiced IV starts on each other but that was the...

    The only tears I saw during nursing school was when a situation reminded a student of a personal loss. Other than that, no tears...

    Is it hard to find a job after having 1-year RN experience?

    Music in My Heart replied to jspar007's topic in California Nursing

    Yep, it is.And it's really vexing to those of us who've lived here all our lives to see the flood of people coming after good pay, strong unions, and mandatory staffing

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

    I took the injection in my left arm 4 weeks ago and had no side effects at all. My 7-year-old got her first shot on the same day and had no side effects. She just got her booster shot and again, no...

    Take a look at the major medical centers. Our regional academic center offers continuing education courses that can be attended by folks from the community - we just have to pay for it. Search under...

    Annoying or showing determination???

    Music in My Heart replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

    I'm also in the "let the process proceed" camp. Trust me, they know how much you (and all the other folks) want the job. Showing up just for the sake of showing up does nothing, IMO, except perhaps...

    Anyone Else a Fan of Dr. OZ?

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

    I see you've addressed the MD-psychiatrist-psychologist confusion but regardless...As an MD I would hope that he would address the quackery that's pushed as 'science' by so many of Oprah's guests....

    Anyone Else a Fan of Dr. OZ?

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

    Yeah, it's more an indictment of her than him but still, I guess I'd hope that he could come up with a way to tactfully disagree with some of the whacky stuff. Regardless, he does an immense amount of...
