    Racism at clinical site...what to do?

    Music in My Heart replied to ybstressed's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You are a student and a guest in that facility... You are very vulnerable and you don't know whose loyalties lie where. My advice is keep your mouth shut and plan to look elsewhere for work when you...

    Racism at clinical site...what to do?

    Music in My Heart replied to ybstressed's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    How? Easy... just the same way that bigoted, narrow-minded people in every other walk of life make similar dumb-@$$ comments. Were you somehow of the misguided notion that nurses are more...

    Do We All Need To Have a BSN Now?

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

    Is she screening out the baccalaureate nurses because everybody keeps bailing out to become CRNAs or because they're not sufficiently prepared?I could certainly understand why they wouldn't want to...

    Music in My Heart replied to tiffanyleigh0212's topic in General Students

    During lab at school everybody just wore what they wanted... lots of shorts and tees, some sun dresses, and lots of jeans.Off campus, though, it was either business casual or scrubs, depending on the...

    H1N1 vaccine availability in your hospital/area?

    Music in My Heart replied to learning08's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Northern CA (SF-Sac region) and H1N1 is still very hard to come by. Except for the large HMO, nobody else seems to have it, including the regional academic medical center. I finally drove 2 hours and...

    Ethical Issue- Nurses not getting flu vaccine when they could!

    Music in My Heart replied to Aaron86's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Just sufficiently insulting? Adequately insulting? Marginally insulting? Personally, I chose the killed virus for myself and my child over the FluMist because I consider the attenuated virus to be of...

    Music in My Heart replied to Anne36's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From what I've observed and heard about, escalation's not likely to take you anywhere you want to go. If the department or school doesn't give a rip about the course evals then why do you suppose that...

    100k in debt after school!?

    Music in My Heart replied to Btran's topic in LPN to RN

    Talk to the financial aid office at your school.Regarding hospitals paying for you to go to school, I seriously doubt you're going to find that. There are a TON of new grads out there scrambling for...

    Don't complain -- there's very little upside potential but a whole lot of downside. Despite the previous poster, it absolutely CAN hurt... by putting a big target on your back, perhaps being failed in...

    All nursing floor - with no nursing assistants???

    Yikes, Jolie, that's horrifying. I seriously doubt that it was more cost-effective in practice... though I'm sure it made a beautiful Excel spreadsheet for somebody somewhere up the

    H1N1 -- in the NICU

    Music in My Heart replied to spacey's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Agreed, very sad that this lady died.Why would we assume that, even if she did die of H1N1, that she contracted it at the hospital, let alone from the baby (who hasn't tested positive for the virus...

    Frustrated over direct entry MSN - prerequisites, but still determined

    Music in My Heart replied to jb2010's topic in Nursing Career

    JTunoi, I'm surprised that a recent degree (2006) would already be subject to stale-dating. I can assure you that that is not universal. My DEMSN had a 10-year

    There's some truth to that.What I see is that it's a combination of "do you know somebody" AND the kick@$$ combo of experience, schooling, and GPA. Neither by itself is

    The Most Vexing Robocalls Ever...

    Music in My Heart posted a topic in General Nursing

    A few days after the interview, on the day that they're supposed to decide, when you're sitting around, hoping and praying for the phone to ring and to hear "you're hired" --- not one, not two, but...

    Why do RNs get paid so similar to NPs?

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

    As has been stated, it just depends on location. In this area, NPs and experienced RNs pull down similar annual wages. Why? Supply and demand. There are just too many NPs for the jobs available. As...
