2. Anyone use the Littman 3000 electronic stethoscope?

   MSJ2007 replied to RN808's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

   I have a Littman 3000 and love it. I have some hearing loss, so I need the amplification. The post above that says it doesn't hang well around the neck is not true for me. I wear mine around my...

   MSJ2007 replied to Dempather's topic in Nursing Career

4. Comparing Wages in the OR setting

   MSJ2007 replied to dmclung's topic in Operating Room

   I'm not too concerned about the variations in pay across the country. I'd just like to know if RNs in the OR make less to start that do RNs who start out on a Med Surg floor or ICU. Does anyone have...

7. Accelerated BSN or MSN, which is smarter?

   MSJ2007 replied to Mintaka's topic in Nursing Career

10. Do you enjoy TV surgical/medical shows?

    MSJ2007 replied to MSJ2007's topic in General Nursing

    So the Discovery channel-type shows are fairly realistic? I was wondering if the "real life" shows were in fact close to accurate. In particular, are the surgery scenes shortened so much that they no...
