    Lumbar Fusion - need some support

    vlmusicalsound posted a topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Hi, all. It is with great sadness that I find myself posting this to the forum. For the past two years I've struggled with an L5-S1 disc herniation. It has never been debilitating, however, it has...

    Anyone want to critique my resume?

    vlmusicalsound posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This is just a rough draft. I whipped this up in a couple of hours. I've obviously blocked out any information pertaining to my name and location. Some of the formatting might look weird but that's...

    Moving to a new state, new hospital, and (hopefully) new floor. Need resume advice.

    vlmusicalsound posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hey, guys. So I've been searching the forums for some resume advice and the majority of it is geared toward new grads. I think that's great; I was in the same boat once and I think new grads need the...

    L5-S1 Disc Herniation

    vlmusicalsound posted a topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Yeah...a healthy 23 year-old with a herniated disc. Just my luck, right? Any other nurses here with this issue? Any tips to make the pain more tolerable and less intrusive? What about therapy and...

    Many Thanks!

    vlmusicalsound replied to LoveMyDaughters's topic in Orthopedic

    Glad to hear you had a good experience! Just out of curiosity...how are you recovering? I have a herniated L5-S1 and have been considering surgery. You've hit the year mark and do you feel like it...

    I've been a nurse for six months. Here's what I've learned so far.

    vlmusicalsound posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've been an RN for about half a year now. Not long by any means but still a good amount of time to allow me to sit down and reflect upon the path that I've chosen. These are mainly personal musings...

    vlmusicalsound replied to vlmusicalsound's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Debbie Downer much? Why would anyone go into nursing in the first place if they weren't at least 90% sure that it's what they wanted to do? It's not a job that one simply crosses their fingers about...

    vlmusicalsound posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hey, everyone. So, I feel like I've asked this question before but can't seem to recall completely. I'm currently doing my BSN preceptorship in the ED (graduation is 23 days away!) and I love it. I...

    Piercings?

    vlmusicalsound posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    Just wondering if any guys here have ever had an trouble with piercings (earrings, specifically) while on the job. Do hospitals frown upon men having piercings? I'm sure there are different policies...

    Piercings?

    Extreme? It's not extreme at all. You can't stick a finger through my ear or anything like that. This isn't me but this is roughly the size of them:...

    Education vs Experience

    vlmusicalsound replied to Airforce1's topic in General Nursing

    Advanced practice programs do have clinical hours. It's not like you graduate an NP with no experience. Hospitals hire new graduates right out of school with no experience. Why should it be any...

    Education vs Experience

    vlmusicalsound replied to Airforce1's topic in General Nursing

    I just want to toss my thoughts into this discussion. A registered nurse and a nurse practitioner (or CRNA, CNS, whatever) encompass two distinct fields of health care. The practice is different and...

    What a frustrating situation. I don't graduate till May 2010, but I want to be an NP someday. It just doesn't make sense to keep us in school any longer. I mean, NPs provide excellent care as it is,...
