  1. How come my license expires in 1 year?

    MagsMom replied to RNSu's topic in General Nursing

    Some nursing boards are different. In Utah, the RN license expires at the end of every January of odd years and the LPN license expires at the end of every January of even years. It doesn't matter...

  2. Advice from someone who might have "been there"...

    MagsMom replied to tunafish1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am not one to believe in these kind of "all the Pell grant students didn't pass" type of conspiracy. It sounds like you followed the steps to appeal your grade and you were not successful. I think...

  3. Brain aneurysm kills suddenly

    MagsMom replied to cschoppe's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think she is asking for medical advice - just some thoughts. I am very sorry for your loss. I feel for the young family that he has left behind. My best friend had an aneurysm several years...

  4. New grad job woes - question (long)

    MagsMom replied to Kringe38's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't have any suggestions or advice, and I am sorry you are having a difficult time finding a job. FWIW, I would hire you, you seem to have a great sense of humor. I have had a crappy week, my...

  5. question:flat foot any advice

    MagsMom replied to tishluvnc's topic in General Nursing

    I will add in my vote for trying Dansko or Sanita. Try the clogs with the back first - they are much better in my opinion. I find the backless ones slip off my feet. Also, when comparing I like Sanita...

  6. ASN to MSN vs BSN to MSN

    MagsMom replied to luv4nursing's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I think you have mentioned the main disadvantage of not doing the BSN. The program at Frontier would take 3 years and anything can happen. I would be of the opinion to complete the BSN option locally...

  7. 5months pregnant. Should I apply to new job?

    MagsMom replied to C0252786's topic in General Nursing

    I would also start applying because when interviewing practice helps! Also, a friend of mine interviewed for a job when she was 8 months pregnant - they didn't offer her the job but a better one which...

  8. Renewal/Licensure Question

    MagsMom replied to LadyTiger44's topic in General Nursing

    Weird. I have never seen this question before either. Why would they want to know if you had been fired? If I were in this situation I would just look at your state's renewel application online and...

  9. Unemplyed nurse with 5 years experience

    MagsMom replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    Working nights is hard for me. It really does not work with my body or being a single parent. I know you like ICU and you are being picky. It may be time to try something new - who knows, you might...

  10. Hospital switching to strictly 12 hour shifts?

    MagsMom replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    How old is your daughter? I can relate to your childcare issue. It is frustrating to be on rotating shifts and have to coordinate different childcare needs each

  11. ASN to MSN vs BSN to MSN

    MagsMom replied to luv4nursing's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    If you already have an MSN I don't know why you would not just do a post-masters cert. Most CNM programs I have seen will take the MSN in lieu of a BSN. You would not need to do the ADN-MSN bridge...

  12. Anybody ever have an MD actively campaign to have you fired?

    MagsMom replied to imintrouble's topic in General Nursing

    as was I, sorry I have been up all night which is not my normal

  13. Anybody ever have an MD actively campaign to have you fired?

    MagsMom replied to imintrouble's topic in General Nursing

    I can see what you are saying, but I was directing my comment to the OP who was talking about a doctor who seemed to be actively against her. In this situation and in MY experience where I work - if...

  14. Anybody ever have an MD actively campaign to have you fired?

    MagsMom replied to imintrouble's topic in General Nursing

    I have not had this problem but my friend who is a sonographer just had it happen to her. She worked at hospital for 10+ years and recently they got a new manager for the department. There were two...

  15. Hospital wars in Denver

    MagsMom replied to nurse2033's topic in General Nursing

    Healthcare is a business. It is obviously better to be in an area that will yield more

  16. Question on hiring status

    MagsMom replied to MollNick's topic in General Nursing

    I am confused as to why you are afraid to contact the manager about this? If she was supportive and said you would be eligible for rehire why not just call and

  17. Advice for a back up plan?

    MagsMom replied to Grizz's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I would recommend Pathophysiology or maybe an upper level stats class if you haven't had stats in the past 10 years. I have a lower GPA and am applying for a MSN next Spring - I started taking extra...

  18. Writing a Bio?

    MagsMom replied to ninja2011's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the tip,

  20. Frontier in 2012

    MagsMom replied to BabyLady's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I am planning on applying for 2012. I am anxious for them to release the application dates! I am also planning on doing the portfolio

  21. Research and placing "RN" after name when not an RN

    MagsMom replied to rumwynnieRN's topic in General Nursing

    She probably should be signing her name BSN since as you say she does have a BSN - I don't know what you mean by her name is in the

  22. I am a new grad and got a job as ALF director position!

    MagsMom replied to eve5483's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Congratulations on your new job - Good luck with the transition. I hope that this is not a case of being hired to take the fall like another poster pointed out. That happened to me once (not in...

  23. Perinatal NP

    MagsMom replied to klg2011's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I work at a hospital that has 6 perinatologist (MDs). There are CNM that work in the Perinatology clinic with the MDs. The CNM do not deliver - all they do is see patients in clinic. Perinatologist...
