  1. Are you insulted????

    Moogie replied to CNABESS's topic in General Nursing

    Job satisfaction is a rare thing. If you're happy with what you do and feel fulfilled, why should it matter to anyone else if the career path with which you're happy is being a CNA? I think you sound...

  3. Nurse Pinning Months Before Program is Over

    Moogie replied to pitaya's topic in General Students

    I would be uncomfortable as well. I'm not superstitious but I'd be afraid of tempting fate. People can and do fail their last semester. That would be a tremendous letdown. It almost seems as if the...

  4. Nurse Practitioner vs. Medical School, subjects covered?

    Moogie replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in Nursing Career

    Moving this out of the General Nursing Discussions to the Career Advice forum. OP, I admire you for having a plan and an idea of what you want to do with your life. But I am also worried that you're...

  5. Already have a B.S.

    Moogie replied to jordanmarie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A community college is less expensive but you'd have to go through the hassle of getting a BSN anyway. Most state schools that have traditional BSN programs also offer accelerated options for second...

  6. Worst Interview Ever!!

    Moogie replied to 312time's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You dodged a bullet. Yes, it's a blow to the ego to be put down like this but think about the way you would have been treated had you been hired. I think she would have made your self esteem plummet...

  7. What to expect as a RN Nurse Supervisor role with no nursing exp.?

    Moogie replied to hnt1987's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have supervisory skills or experience from another job? If you've been a supervisor in a non-nursing field, you might have a bit easier time than a new grad who might be taking this as his/her...

  8. RNs! Delegation: What tasks do you regularly delegate? Pls specify, LPN, CNA, UAP.

  9. Nursing dilemma relating to OB

    Moogie replied to rtready2Brn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That really limits you, doesn't it? I think this situation with the mag sulfate would be fine as a topic but you might want to bounce it off your instructor first. Maybe he/she will suggest you go...

  12. frustrated

    Moogie replied to amymina's topic in General Students

    The kind of person who does a stunt like this will probably have co-workers punch her time clock when she's late or wants to leave early. That kind of behavior will get her fired. If she's ethically...

  13. Anyone have an instructor that was TOO EASY?

    Moogie replied to snow_bear's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would make sure to note this on the end of the term evaluations for this teacher that he did not stick to the syllabus and did not meet the course objectives. I would also consider speaking to the...

  14. May have failed an Anatomy exam (unreasonably hard Professor)

    Moogie replied to Nung's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with previous posters that one can learn a great deal from the most challenging professors. I think you're already aware of that and have learned quite a bit from this professor. However,...

  15. A Short History of Anti-pathophysiologicalism

    Moogie replied to jmqphd's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    OP, I wanted you to see this quote from one of the student forums. It may give you a glimmer of hope for the next generation. Here's the URL of the thread:...

  17. MMR reaction but titer non responsove?

    Moogie replied to heather.f's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but as per the TOS agreement https://allnurses.com/terms-info.html, we can't give medical advice here. Please check with your provider. Closing this

  18. Nursing dilemma relating to OB

    Moogie replied to rtready2Brn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Honestly, if you go with this scenario, you run the risk of sounding judgmental. I agree that this situation is not optimal, but just because you have concerns about this person's lifestyle, it...

  19. Seriously, why do they come to class?! shut up already!

    Moogie replied to Certifiable's topic in General Students

    I think the fault is with the teacher. I understand the attitude that students are adult learners and should be responsible enough to pay attention---or choose not to pay attention. However, when the...

  20. Work non-nursing related job while in school?

    Moogie replied to esunada's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the other posters in that, with a tough economy out there, having a nursing-related job would give you an edge when applying for jobs as a new grad. However, I worked in a shoe store the...

  21. Getting withdrawn because of a pre-req. Dispute?

    Moogie replied to m2736185's topic in General Students

    I agree with both of these posters. While it may not seem to you that speech is relevant to nursing, it obviously is important enough for your program that it's a requirement. Tyler77 is absolutely...

  22. Support Hose?

    Moogie replied to Brandieelynne's topic in General Nursing

    I wore full support pantyhose when I was in my twenties working the floors. That was back in the olden days when nurses wore white and I usually wore white uniform dresses to work. When I've been on...

  23. GRE Prep Advice

    Moogie replied to GM2RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The GRE is changing in August. Depending on when you plan to take it, make sure the books and courses actually prepare you for the version you're going to

  24. Comments about personal appearance

    Moogie replied to AOx1's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in my twenties, I was working evening shift and taking a morning aerobics class run by a tanned, beautiful woman who had been a professional dancer. One morning I was going to skip class...

    Moogie replied to NurseBunny13's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree strongly with your supervisor. Just the fact that your residents aren't as combative when you're around is a testament to the benefits of your calm presence and caring attitude. Please...
