    Will a history of Suicide ideation automatically disqualify you from joining the Army

    One word of caution regarding "keeping things to yourself." If it's later discovered for some reason, you'll be in very, VERY big trouble for having withheld the

    Failed NCLEX yesterday...any tips for studying?

    Music in My Heart replied to gradnurse09's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, if you really did miss all the "precautions" questions then that very well may have shot you down. I had a number of precaution questions, delegation questions, and safety questions. They...

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

    To whom it may concern: Don't believe this propaganda. I just graduated from nursing school and it most certainly did NOT suck. It wasn't all roses but for the most part, we were treated very well by...

    question about students dressed in medical uniform in my class

    Music in My Heart replied to 411nurseguy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Rereading your post has prompted a comment: The primary concern is not for bringing stuff INTO the hospital, it's for bringing the nasties OUT into the community. The bad bugs are already in the...

    question about students dressed in medical uniform in my class

    Music in My Heart replied to 411nurseguy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wearing scrubs to class... yuck. I strip off the germy clothes and shoes right before I walk out of the hospital. To paraphrase a 12-step meeting: "What grows in the hospital, let it stay in the...

    I don't care if you know someone whos had every disease that we talk about!

    Music in My Heart replied to Duice88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't blame the talkers, blame the instructor. A good instructor should immediately retake control and continue on with their lecture. They should also talk to the student outside of class and ask...

    New grad looking for a job in California

    Music in My Heart replied to Kelly314's topic in California Nursing

    Agreed... nursing school and the NCLEX were a piece of cake compared to finding any job (let alone a full-time hospital gig) here in Northern California. It's not that there aren't any jobs... it's...

    100k in debt after school!?

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

    You must also consider the challenge of finding a well-paying, full-time job after graduation. The experience of myself and my classmates is that that is not to be taken as a

    New grad looking for a job in California

    Music in My Heart replied to Kelly314's topic in California Nursing

    Very, very hard to find new-grad positions at any of the major hospitals in Northern California. Only one member of our graduating class has independently secured a position in a hospital and that one...

    boy issues in nursing school

    Music in My Heart replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

    Personally, I'd avoid starting a relationship during nursing school. They're both very demanding of your time and emotional energy and the margin for error in nursing school is pretty narrow. I'd...

    Only week 4 of Nursing 1 and I'm already stressing

    Music in My Heart replied to Nimby5956's topic in General Students

    I started stressing about week 3 or 4... then I calmed down and realized how many people have preceded me and managed to do just fine and therefore figured that I could do it, too. I just tried to...

    NCLEX exam second failure

    Music in My Heart replied to PSK09's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think you're doing OK. I did several ATI practice tests and was scoring in the 80-85% range and passed the NCLEX with 75 questions.If you think you're ready then you probably

    Freaking out over drug dose calculations test

    Music in My Heart replied to Christine2009's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Let me start by saying that the negative self-talk "I suck at math" is not helping you. I'm a strong believer in the power of self-affirmation and I'd encourage to stop talking yourself down and...

    Refusing Mandatory Vaccination

    Of course, virulent pathogens wreak havoc on your natural immunity, too... not to mention your other organ systems. Yes, some people have reactions to medications. On the other hand, the effectiveness...

    Flashcards and Coloring Books?!?

    Music in My Heart replied to mrsb04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd pass on the coloring book. I tried one but I found that my time was much better spent with an atlas and covering the labels. I did, on occasion, scan those images and cover the labels so that I...

    Help with Histology

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

    Get a histology atlas so that you can see pictures of what they look like. Look at a ton of slides... look a multiple slides of the same tissue so that you can see different samples. Range around a...

    NCLEX exam second failure

    Music in My Heart replied to PSK09's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I also agree with blessednurse87... I would only spend time doing questions with rationales. That was pretty much the only prep I did (along with ensuring that I knew some basic lab values (Na, K,...

    I just took the exam and passed with 75 questions. I agree with abcd... To that I might add the very (very, very) basics of a few of the major med classes (CA-channel blockers, beta blockers,...

    2nd year dosage calc/ IV

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

    Also, apply the "does this make sense?" test... If you infuse 50 mL over 360 minutes, that would be a rate of 0.14 mL/min or 8.3 mL/hr... that is very slow. When you saw the "q6h", did you understand...

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

    Yep, you've got it. The "q6h" really has nothing to do with the problem. Try to think about what's really happening before you start trying to throw equations down on paper. In this case, you've got a...
