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

    We didn't meet our instructors until the first day of class, just like my other degree programs. These folks have lives and they are paid to spend a certain amount of time performing their jobs. It...

    And what, exactly, justifies that trust?The system runs on money and power. Just take a look at who's backing Wexler's bill. You really think the immigration lawyers are pumping this up because we...

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

    Of course, this wasn't an NCLEX question... just one that some instructor made up or, more likely, came out of a test bank.Many of our test-bank questions were horribly written or came with an...

    And therein lies the rub with the importation of non-resident workers... the employer posts the job to keep it all legal and then simply hires the non-resident worker that they were going to hire...

    Music in My Heart replied to gasguy1960's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm prepping for our end-of-program comprehensive final: The ATI. Pretty much the same thing as the HESI. So I got to thinking: What we need is a HESI/ATI preparation program! Seriously, I'm not toooo...

    Uh, no... we don't.There's a 5% overall vacancy rate for nurses statewide. For new grads, nearly half are and will remain unemployed. My source is the July, 2009 report from the Calif. Institute for...

    The fact that your hospital has openings and hires new grads doesn't diminish the scope of the problem at all.Our regional medical center has a vareity of openings and they, too, hire new grads. In...

    Start on them early. I didn't find them too difficult in terms of concept but the mechanics of them were a bit tedious. We were supposed to use journals rather than textbooks for references and it was...

    Nursing Online

    Music in My Heart replied to bdbrdb's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Our program is largely online. Clinical rotations, of course, are in-person in the hospitals and there are several face-to-face classes at the university but most of our "class" time is online.I like...

    Do nurses have a right to privacy?

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

    I believe that a police report is a matter of public record. I'm a bit surprised that the PD hasn't gotten to the point of getting rid of SSNs like many places have. In the 80s & 90s they were a...

    It's not even a simple matter of working for less. It's also the basic tenet of supply-and-demand... as the supply is increased through importation, the price (that is, wages, benefits, etc) goes...

    Well, they've got a system that's churning out nurses by the thousands so they have little credibility if their claim is that they "can't find enough nurses" if they're not even utilizing the ones...
