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

    no dilemma at all. stay with what's working and get yourself educated, graduated, and licensed as quickly as possible. it would be silly to transfer and lose credits in the process. i think the adage,...

    Has anyone picked a specialty before nursing school and actually done it after?

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

    My response to your mom would be that it's wise to consider this while you're in school. Many programs have 4th/5th semester practica and your best chance of being hired out of school is into the unit...

    Honest opinion for a soon-to-be New Grad

    Music in My Heart replied to sunshine63's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The only folks hired out of our class were in critical care or ED... none of the med-surg, none of the OB, none of the NICU

    Starting BSN 2nd Degree. Worrying about this major career change...Please help!!

    Music in My Heart replied to LR1297's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody can provide what you want -- reassurance that it'll work out or a valid statement that you won't find work. Nobody knows. At present, in most of the country, new grads are facing real...

    No, there

    New Grad - Offering to Work for Minimum Wage?

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

    The thing is, not only can they get away with paying minimum wage - I'm sure lots of new grads would apply for a job even if it openly listed minimum wage - but they're actually getting licensed...

    New Grad - Offering to Work for Minimum Wage?

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

    Well, certainly there is no guarantee that they would raise my wage to a competitive level but at least with some experience I could shun the "new grad" label. In a way I can't afford to work for...

    Worried that I won't get accepted

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

    That wouldn't be competitive at many of the public schools but many of them admit by lottery or sequentially so you don't really need to worry. You'd probably do OK at some of the private schools. I...

    Music in My Heart replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, murphyal, I don't know that anybody can tell you with any certainty but I passed and it would not let me get to the payment screen. I haven't seen anybody write on this site that they passed...

    How likely is it as a new nursing grad I'd have to work nights?

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

    One of my classmates found a position on days but that's the exception. She was an A+ candidate in every respect. For what it's worth, I'm a total early-to-bed-early-to-rise person but I did acclimate...

    Pregnant in Nursing School?

    Music in My Heart replied to MarathonRunner1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One of my classmates was. She was an awesome specimen, though (in fabulous shape, very smart, very organized, very hardworking... and with a very supportive spouse). It can certainly be done but it's...

    Clinical Partner Problems

    For what it's worth... I was unceremoniously dumped from a group and turned down by somebody else as a partner. After recovering from the shock and hurt feelings (I can't help it... I'm pretty...

    Clinical Partner Problems

    Music in My Heart replied to beach_bride514's topic in General Students

    Don't sweat it... I didn't find it nearly so rough as I'd feared it would be. That said, there's precious little time or energy to be pulling more than your share. Pick your partner well... and by all...

    As a nursing student, will I be prodded to become Prochoice?

    Music in My Heart replied to avidhunter3's topic in General Students

    It was a complete nonissue in my nursing program (I graduated over the summer). There were times when people chose to share their views in the context of a particular discussion but it was never a...

    Clinical Partner Problems

    Music in My Heart replied to beach_bride514's topic in General Students

    Laura, you sound like a very considerate person but perhaps a tad too concerned about others. While I do think it's important to be as kind and helpful as possible (and I think my classmates would say...

    Male Student Nurse Interested in OB.

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

    The reality is that you will have fewer options as a man because, for some nurses and patients, there remains a clear bias against male nurses providing peripartum care. On the other hand, there are...

    Clinical Partner Problems

    Music in My Heart replied to beach_bride514's topic in General Students

    Partnering is a pretty intimate relationship and you really rely on one another to meet the demands of your program. I would partner with whomever you will have the best working relationship. It...

    Emergency IV calculation! HELP PLEASE!

    Music in My Heart replied to Blondie24's topic in General Nursing

    wtbcrna is correct... it's 600 mL/hr (500 mg/kg) x (79.5 kg) x (1 mL/200 mg) x (1 / 20 min) x (60 min/1 hr) That is, 200 mL given over 20 minutes = 600

    Anyone take Statistics?

    Music in My Heart replied to espo44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's pretty much cook-book math. There are a bunch of equations which apply to specific data sets and you must simply be able to pick the appropriate equation, plug in the correct data, and determine...
