  3. GI Bill Transfer of Benefits- Can you help?

    Moogie replied to ssalulu's topic in General Students

    Once my husband got the process in motion, it didn't take long at all. You should be fine with a May 23 start date. My husband was deployed post 9/11 but apparently not long enough to get 100%...

  6. Need advice!!!! I hate my job

    Moogie replied to moni777's topic in General Nursing

    I felt like that when I started, too. Like the OP, I wanted to get to know my patients, the way I did when I was in school and had only one or two patients in clinicals. I found the first year to be...

  7. Facilitators and Inhibitors to Obtaining Your Masters in Nursing

    Moogie replied to tammyca1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks, Tammy. Yes, go ahead. I realize that my story is rather unique, but it does seem to sum up many of the barriers and facilitators to pursuing graduate education. Again, good luck with the...

  10. Overheard "You're there to make money, not to talk," in clinical

    Moogie replied to JustaNrsgStudent's topic in General Students

    I've talked to lots of doctors who feel frustrated that they don't get to spend time with their patients. Administration pushes quantity rather than quality. Unfortunately, if a physician or other...

  11. LPN must obtain CNA cert to reenter school?

    Moogie replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Speak to the dean. Hopefully the person with whom you spoke is simply misinformed. Otherwise, I would consider this a bullet dodged and look for a different program. This is pretty...

    Moogie replied to RNMom2010's topic in General Nursing

  15. Are Nursing instructors to blame for creating nursing stereotypes?

    Moogie replied to Certifiable's topic in General Students

    MH, hope I'm not opening a new can of worms here but I wonder if the instructor told the patient about your marital status as a way of conveying that you are heterosexual. Frankly, a student's...

  16. 2 colors in hair as a new graduated during interviews

    Moogie replied to Michelle Nicole's topic in General Students

    OP, your hair sounds adorable, but I would wait until you have a job before you do anything with your hair color. Even though it sounds very subtle and pretty, the job market is so tight right now...

  17. Is it me? Last few weeks of NS and my motivation is flagging.

    Moogie replied to DolceVita's topic in General Students

    Yes. These last few weeks of my master's program are like giving birth. I'm doing a teaching practicum and my master's project, and I'm taking the second semester of advanced pathophysiology. In the...

  18. How to explain how hard you have to work in nursing school

    Moogie replied to guest10's topic in General Students

    Lately I've been on hiatus from AN because I'm working on my master's project. I'm very glad I checked this thread today. I wanted to cry when I read the post about a student being told not to worry...

  19. Using BSN when you have not earned it

    Moogie replied to sportsmom84's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, but it says a great deal about the character of an individual who uses a credential he/she has not rightfully earned. Sure, the nurse is just a few credits shy of a BSN, but until she...

    Moogie replied to aflac381's topic in General Nursing

    Moogie replied to hlr2752's topic in Nurse Disabilities

  23. Any nurses out there willing to be interviewed?

    Moogie replied to ChooSoul's topic in General Nursing

    Re-opening this thread for now. Several posts have been deleted because they were in violation of TOS or because the comments were unhelpful. Personal attacks are a violation of the Terms of Service...
