  1. I'm a traitor.. from LTC to MD office

    MagsMom replied to Cmariehart's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you. Enjoy your new job and ignore those who call you

  2. Are nurses smarter than resident physicians?

    MagsMom replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in General Nursing

    I think part of the problem may be that names like Romazicon and Versed are brand names and for the large part of their medical school education most med students learn the generic names. Maybe if...

  3. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    MagsMom replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't think you were being unsympathetic - just before my daughter was diagnosed I was much more judgemental and am ashamed to admit that I often would wonder about people who made slip ups like...

  4. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    MagsMom replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes a reading disability can cause this - My daughter who has had EXTENSIVE remediation still mispronounces words. For example just last night she asked me if I was watching Food "neckwort". It...

  5. I did the stupidest thing ever

    MagsMom replied to shanika1m1's topic in General Nursing

    I think everyone understands this job market so I wouldn't worry. The only thing I will add is just be matter of fact and not pissy about the situation when you tell this person you no longer can...

  6. New grad and NO JOBS!!

    MagsMom replied to Newgradtoo's topic in General Nursing

    WAstateRNMichael I am wondering if you went to an accelerated program in Utah? I have not heard of anyone graduating from the U's program and not getting a job- that is concerning that you are having...

  7. Accelerated Online BSN Program

    MagsMom replied to alanas09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    University of Wisconsin -Oshkosh. It is for people who have a bachelors in something other than nursing. I have talked to several people who have graduated from this program and know one person...

  8. asking for some prayers

    MagsMom replied to locolorenzo22's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't had this surgery but I have had a few abdominal surgeries. I will keep you in my thoughts and pray for a successful and speedy

  9. Still penny pinching

    MagsMom replied to Williss2's topic in General Nursing

    Besides looking at all of your finances you can try what I do. I am a single mother and very busy. I cook ALL of my meals for the week on Sunday (you could pick any day of the week). I use my slow...

  10. Hi Guyz.. a 4th year student in need pls help ^^

    MagsMom replied to aldrinzx's topic in General Students

    You might try to search using google scholar. I just did a quick search and came up with 100+ journal articles related to the topic - and I used your exact phrasing. My recommendation is to use some...

  11. Is it appropriate for a Supervisor to throw staffing paper in your face?

    MagsMom replied to mcpkin's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Crux1024 - no, not appropriate for someone to throw papers in your face. However, I did stop reading midway through the post because it is always hard for me to follow a huge block of...

  12. Student Wrongfully Dismissed

    MagsMom replied to thinksdifferently's topic in General Nursing

    Most (if not all) reputable universities and colleges have procedures set forth for all sorts of appeals. The student in question should be investigating all options at this point - speculation about...

  13. Do all states / schools require CNA to train for RN??

    MagsMom replied to caltripp's topic in General Students

    Actually, the only program I know of that requires a CNA in Utah is Weber State. The U of U, Westminster, SLCC and BYU do not require you to be a CNA. I am not sure about UVU or Dixie's program. It...

  14. Creaky, Squeaky Danskos!

    MagsMom replied to Tait's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My danskos squeak when I am in the new part of the hospital - in the older part which is mostly the medical school and administrative offices they don't squeak as much. I finally figured that in the...

  15. 36 hours is only part time??

    MagsMom replied to NurseDevonL's topic in General Nursing

    I bet it is "technically" part time but considered a "FTE" (full time equivalent) position. That is how ALL the bedside nurses are employed at the hospital where I work. I hope this thread is making...

  16. Does this Path into Nursing sound Sensible?

    MagsMom replied to Angela.CRNA2B's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is great that she has a "plan." It is important to be supportive and encouraging - you do not have to tell her how it is going to be. Let her figure it out. If she runs into negativity let...

  17. UW Oshkosh Acclerated Online October Cohort Applicants?

    MagsMom replied to jilajila's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the information. I am just completing a CNA course and hope to get a CNA job soon. It seems that I missed the deadline for the May cohort, but I will apply for the October 2010 one. I am...

  18. UW Oshkosh Acclerated Online October Cohort Applicants?

    MagsMom replied to jilajila's topic in General Nursing

    Can you tell me how competitive the online program is? Do you know how many people apply / how many people get in? I am thinking about applying for the October 2010 cohort - I am applying from out of...

  19. RN transplant coordinator-- what do they really do?

    MagsMom replied to Epona's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Don't be so sure - you were called for a reason. Continue to do your research and go in with confidence. Good

  20. working as RN part-time during med school?

    MagsMom replied to meddecisions's topic in General Nursing

    Some medical schools require you sign an agreement that you will not work during the academic year (this is how it was when my ex was in medical school). They expected you to take out loans to pay for...

  21. Stethoscope colors...HELP!

    MagsMom replied to oguesswhat's topic in General Nursing

    Whichever color you get make sure that you have your name engraved - not a guarantee but helps if you work with people who like to

  22. East Carolina Direct Entry MSN Program

    MagsMom posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am in the process of reseraching schools to apply to. I applied and got rejected from an Accelerated BSN program last year. I now know that I should have applied to several programs - I suppose I...

  23. Gossiping amongst nurses

    MagsMom replied to QTpie86's topic in General Nursing

    Gossiping is everywhere - no matter what field you are in. My sister regularly complains about the troubles in the elementary school she teaches in. I actually LOVE gossip - however, I learned the...

  24. Unable to meet basic care....

    MagsMom replied to locolorenzo22's topic in General Nursing

    At the hospital where I work they have people on call to sign when a deaf patient comes in -- just like there are translators for Spanish and other languages. I am surprised that there is not such a...

  25. Credit checking for a job?..im in trouble :(

    MagsMom replied to NurseDevonL's topic in General Nursing

    After reading this thread I got nervous and ordered the annual free reports from the 3 credit agencies. I was pleasantly surprised that I don't have to worry as much as I thought I did! Like someone...
