    Help help help.....!!!

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

    Nobody else can help you. You need to decide for yourself what will work best for yourself and then have the discipline to do it. For me, I prefer to study right up to the last possible second. Others...

    Missed Clinical Orient. May be Expelled

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

    I would point out that if you were late for an interview, you wouldn't be hired. If you missed your first day of work, you would likely not have a second day of

    OK to wear nice pants on interview for staff nurse?

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

    Think about it this way: You're not going to alienate anybody by wearing a professional suit... They probably won't even notice how your dressed... which is the whole point. They will simply see a...

    OK to wear nice pants on interview for staff nurse?

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

    Dress professionally... slacks and jacket are preferred. Just remember, you're going to a job interview, not an evening formal or nice restaurant. Hang out in a physician's office and note how the...

    Safety Question - Nurses rights

    Music in My Heart replied to Wends1984's topic in General Nursing

    If you are an at-will employee (and if you're not a union member then you almost certainly are) then you can be terminated without notice for no reason at all. In other words, yes... they can fire you...

    Vaccinated and Sick--But I'd do it again

    Music in My Heart replied to Sonia,RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That's my point, though -- the OP is linking her H1N1 shot - the killed virus - to her subsequent symptoms -- which just isn't a valid link since the killed virus cannot cause an infection... simply...

    Colleges spitting out new nurse without any training?

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

    Wow, you're all making me think more and more highly of my school (DEMSN/CNL, no less). Done a bunch of IVs, a few Foleys, wound care, injections, blood sugars and insulin all the time, lots of...

    Music in My Heart replied to Sonia,RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My 7-year-old and I just got our H1N1 shots on Saturday. No ill effects at all. Could you propose a mechanism for how you might have been infected by a killed-virus vaccine? I'd opt for

    Missed Clinical Orient. May be Expelled

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

    To your question - Yes, it's that easy to be kicked out of nursing school. If "Barb" was the only student in the group to be late then I'm more inclined to think the problem is Barb's and not the...

    Music in My Heart replied to Lurdes777's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As with most fields of study, as MA/MS in that subject does not necessarily mean a BA/BS in that subject; neither does a doctorate in a given field necessarily imply a BA/BS and/or MA/MS in that...

    What degree is best for a new nursing student? CNL, BSN or RN?

    Music in My Heart replied to jdb156's topic in General Nursing

    A couple of points: My DEMSN program (CNL) had 1090 clinical hours, a difference of less than 4% with your ADN program. Masters degrees in any field do not generally require experience in the field....

    nursing school graduation rate

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

    It all depends on the program... I've heard that some programs do have attrition rates near 50%... ours was 20%... and it wasn't so simple nor cut-and-dried as "they didn't know their
