  2. Which Pathophysioloy book would you want

    MagsMom replied to P-medic2RN's topic in General Nursing

    That's the one I was going to suggest but I took Pathophysiology from the authors so I wasn't sure how biased my opinion

  3. PLEASE i need help! I failed Nclex 5 times!!!

    MagsMom replied to 7Laquisha's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You need to figure out why you are failing, to be honest five times is a lot - if it's knowledge deficit, then you need to learn the information; if it's test anxiety, then you need to address that;...

  4. GUM! Can you chew it on shift?

    MagsMom replied to SummitRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It is very unprofessional to chew gum. If you are worried about your breath then brush your teeth or have a mint after you eat. In the hospital where I work gum is not allowed - not even by people who...

  5. Please help...I need to get out of bedside nursing.

    MagsMom replied to neonurse97's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Agree with purple scrubs and the great advice from llg - in addition to considering informatics you can also think about research nursing. I moved from an admistrative type position (pre-nursing...

    MagsMom replied to punkydoodlesRN's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I love crock pot cooking and usually put mine on in the morning and after cooking it stays on "warm" until we get home. I do all of my chopping and organizing on Sunday afternoons. I do...

  8. How about a reality show about Nurses....like "COPS"

    MagsMom replied to MouseMichelle's topic in General Nursing

    What about that show "One born every minute" -- I haven't seen it but I work in L&D now and a ton of patients talk about this program which features nurses in L&D (or so I'm

  11. PA speaks poorly of RN's

    MagsMom replied to heavenbound's topic in General Nursing

    My question is why did you spend that much time on the phone with this person? Clearly, they were just trying to wind you up. I woud say that next time you should practice better phone skills and end...

    MagsMom replied to WannabeaFNP's topic in Post Graduate Students

    MagsMom replied to purple10's topic in General Nursing

  14. Current co-workers asking where your new job is.

    MagsMom replied to NurseFrustrated's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with the "I am not to discuss my new job at work". There is no reason to make up a silly story to appease your nosey co-workers. You can also use the line I use at work - every time I am on...

  15. Why do doctors office pay nurses pennies to work for them?

    MagsMom replied to danursern's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure where you live but look for jobs in research, compliance, risk management and other jobs that are not direct patient care. I also know a nurse who works for a company that helps audit...

  16. so I blush really bad...

    MagsMom replied to MissDandelion's topic in General Nursing

  17. Opportunity as a Nurse Anesthetist in Utah?

    MagsMom replied to flyfish108's topic in General Nursing

    yes, Westminster is the only CRNA program in Utah. I don't think the area is generally CRNA friendly compared to other areas. My neighbor is an anesthesiologist and the group he is in does not employ...

  18. Any updates on hiring climate in UT and SL county?

    MagsMom replied to tfleuter's topic in General Nursing

    I think it depends. It seems that nearly everyone graduating out of the U find jobs immediately which is why I think it is difficult for an "outsider" to get hired on at the U hospital unless you have...

  19. Relocating to Utah

    MagsMom replied to Gilly's topic in General Nursing

    I have not heard of a work/study program at the U. What did your sister say it was? I do not know the nurse patient ratio but do know that I hear about how hard it is to find a job at the University...

    MagsMom replied to mochamocha's topic in General Nursing

  22. Silly question ??

    MagsMom replied to Elleveein's topic in General Nursing

    I know several people who have hired baby nurses. In this context they are usually just caregivers for a newborn during the first 2 weeks the baby is home from the hospital. I do know one woman (not...

  23. Who has the most "gravy" RN job ever?

    MagsMom replied to OnaTrek's topic in General Nursing

    A friend of mine schedules surgeries in the OR dept - she has a BSN and an MBA. She told me that she had thought about going back to school to do a NP degree until she found out that she would be...

  24. Called into the office, told I'm a slob.

    MagsMom replied to danceswithsnakes's topic in General Nursing

    As a person who has also struggled with weight and self esteem I can relate to your situation. However, I might suggest instead of focusing on exactly what you are going to wear start by making sure...

  25. 2.35 GPA too low for Acc Bacc BSN Program?

    MagsMom replied to btaveras's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At some schools they factor the pre-reqs differently than the overall GPA. That being said most schools I have looked at require at least an overall GPA of 3.2. You may have to take some extra classes...
