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

    If you are not passionate you perform your job as a robot not providing empathy for you patients in their time of need. Nursing is not all books it also requires a heart, a heart that is vested in...

    Should students be penalized due to Instructors Mistake ?

    Music in My Heart replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    To be fair one must simply apply the correct answer to everybody. If the answer deemed correct by the teacher is then anyone who pick get the point; anyone who didn't, doesn't. Imminently

    Should students be penalized due to Instructors Mistake ?

    Music in My Heart replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Yes, everyone should be treated fairly. If they marked the correct answer then they should get the point; if they marked the wrong answer, they shouldn't. Pretty

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

    No it doesn't. It can be a job that you perform as a professional caring for people in a vulnerable position.To the OP: Failing the same class twice tells me that you're not into this. Find something...

    Is Nursing School Like Joining A Sorority?

    Music in My Heart replied to rollydrooly208's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I'm a dude so I've never been in a sorority. I have, however, been in a frat and been through boot camp and I've found NS to be nothing like either of those. It's pretty much just an educational...

    Volunteering at a hospital - best experience for a pre-nursing student?

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

    The following comes from my first-hand experience as a volunteer in two hospitals and one community clinic as well as my nursing-school clinical rotations in two different hospitals (clinic, med-surg,...

    Music in My Heart replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Please, for the love of Pete, let's exercise the discipline NOT to turn this into another "A's-nurse vs C's-nurse" debate. There are threads aplenty that address that issue :deadhorse Interestingly...

    Should students be penalized due to Instructors Mistake ?

    Music in My Heart replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Well, it's not right in the sense that it's lousy customer service and, as students, WE ARE THE CUSTOMERS. That said, I fail to see how it makes any difference. And to all the "unfair" commenters: The...

    Which book is the best for lab reference values when at clinicals?

    Music in My Heart replied to notthereyet0's topic in General Students

    Decide for certain if you want something for your pocket or your bookshelf. I wouldn't take a full-size book to clinicals... things have a way of getting lost or growing

    Music in My Heart replied to babyblue246's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Personally, I'd forego the trip and be pounding the pavement looking for a job unless your dad's going to help subsidize you. Maybe it's different in your neck of the woods but in these parts,...

    Should students be penalized due to Instructors Mistake ?

    Music in My Heart replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    If they got the wrong answer, they got the wrong answer, even if it was mis-keyed. Of course that point should be taken away. If someone is on the borderline such that 1 point really makes the...

    Voice Recorders

    Music in My Heart replied to my4helpers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good point, mom. Cassettes are mid-20th century technology and should be left there. Digital's the only way to go (and makes it simple to rip mp3's of your recordings for your listening

    Repeating a course?

    Careful with the generalizations... At Cal Poly one could drop through the first week (10%). After that one needed to petition to the Dean for withdrawal for "urgent and compelling

    Major Decision Making - Opinions Needed: Online or On campus

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

    Well, I think you're making a very wise decision in going for the on-campus class. Being bilingual will help you enormously in nursing, especially with it being Spanish. You'll also find your...

    Repeating a course?

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

    Careful with "most" unless you can back it up. The public schools in my neck of the woods accept retakes only for D's and F's. By the same token, when you do repeat a class, regardless of your score,...

    Any digital voice recorder will meet your needs. I'd choose based on price. That said, the Sony ICD series are excellent (though a bit

    What would be more beneficial, CNA or EMT?

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

    Since you're already through your first year of nursing school, CNA would be a waste of time. Surely you've already learned how to take vital signs, turn patients, feed patients, perform peri care,...
