  1. financial assistance for nursing students that need an operation?tx

    Moogie replied to bubbasmom's topic in Texas Nursing

    Moved to Texas forums where it may elicit more responses from members from

  2. Does it matter what school you go to?

    Moogie replied to sdahl2's topic in General Students

    If you think you're going to regret not going to Johns Hopkins in the long run, then the additional cost and commute might be worthwhile. If you would rather save money and a bit of travel time, I...

  3. HR recruiter sending me friend request on FB??

    Moogie replied to Emile's topic in General Nursing

    Don't just ignore the request---dismiss it and block the person STAT. If I'm not mistaken, if someone requests you as a friend and you do nothing, he/she can still see everything you post on FB. If...

  4. Online MSN program? BSN to MSN

    Moogie replied to danny_RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't think there is such a thing as a minimally stressful master's in nursing program, whether it's online or on campus. I'm finishing an online master's in nursing education in May (God willing)...

  5. Is this cheating...?

    Moogie replied to lelafin's topic in General Students

    What's your classmate going to be like in practice? Is she always going to rely on others to spoon-feed her information on her patients? I'm not sure I consider this cheating per se, but it reflects...

  6. Twenty year old grades for Graduate School Applications?

    Moogie replied to BeachsideNic's topic in General Students

    Stories like yours really frustrate me because, although grades should be considered, school admission policies should reflect just a smidgeon of common sense. You sound like an excellent candidate....

  7. Hidden Cameras in Nursing Homes/ALF

    Moogie replied to purse's topic in General Nursing

    Irene, Document, document, document! Document if the gentleman refuses a bath. Document the words he uses when he refuses. Document what he's doing and where he's going. I also hope that he will end...

  8. And you thought a thong beneath whites was bad...

    Moogie replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    I hate to say this but I think you did what you could. If your instructor isn't seeing this, either the student is REALLY good in terms of hiding or the instructor needs to brush up on her...

  9. Work related concussion

    Moogie replied to Prince815's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I'm truly sorry, but we cannot give medical advice here as per the Terms of Service agreement. However, I would strongly suggest that you seek a second opinion and that you advocate for yourself....

  10. Getting into a nursing program with a L.D.

    Moogie replied to hlr2752's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    First of all, you are NOT a burden and you have nothing for which you should be ashamed. People have differing abilities. Yes, nursing school is difficult, but please don't defeat yourself before you...

  11. And you thought a thong beneath whites was bad...

    Moogie replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    Eeeeeeeeuuuuuuwwww. I think your classmate cares a lot more about her appearance and getting by with violating the policies than with patient care. That's beyond unprofessional. That's selfish and...

  12. Need some straight forward advice about picking between RN and LPN and doing prereqs

    Moogie replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Students

    If you're eligible for a full Pell grant and are certain you want to go into nursing rather than another health discipline (i.e., medicine) you'd be better off to do a BSN program rather than either...

  13. Traveling Nurse? What are your thoughts about it?

    Moogie replied to Saflanut's topic in Travel

    Moving this to Travel Nursing, where it might elicit more

  14. My Microbiology Teacher told me I can't become a Nurse

    Moogie replied to louis345's topic in General Students

    As others have said, ignore this instructor. Difficulty using a microscope has no bearing on whether one can be successful with other motor skills that are required in nursing. There are many...

  15. Is anyone having problems deciding between AAS in Nursing versus BSN?

    Moogie replied to skyheaven477's topic in General Students

    As someone with a previous bachelor's degree, you should consider either an accelerated BSN or a direct entry MSN program. I know that finances are a huge consideration, but if you can afford it, you...

  16. An RN with a Bachelors in Biology instead of BSN?

    Moogie replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

    A BSN does NOT focus solely on leadership roles in health care. While there are typically more courses in leadership in a BSN program as opposed to an ADN, a BSN is more comprehensive in teaching...

  17. A disgruntled ex calling the bon on me.

    Moogie replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    Closing this. OP, you have gotten some valid advice from the membership. While indeed your personal life is your own business, please remember that NOTHING on the Internet is ever completely...

  18. Only wanting one area of nursing?

    Moogie replied to DreamyEyes's topic in General Students

    Not at all! Gerontology nurses are desperately needed in subacute care, long-term care, primary care, education, and research. It's a growing field due to increasing numbers of elderly in the...

  19. Did your school discriminate against the elderly? read to find out...

    Moogie replied to LPNweezy's topic in General Nursing

    I bolded the comments in your statements that I would like to address. If you had instructors who had the attitude that the elderly "will die soon anyways" or that a small mistake could be brushed...

  20. And you thought a thong beneath whites was bad...

    Moogie replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    ChinacatSN, is the instructor who is giving you grief about your tattoos the same one who is wimping out on ensuring this student follow policy? That doesn't seem fair. If I was your instructor, I...

  21. HIV testing question

    Moogie replied to freakingoutinSF's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry about your situation. Please contact your primary health provider about this. We cannot give medical advice here. Closing this but wishing you the

  22. And you thought a thong beneath whites was bad...

    Moogie replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    Seriously, I am very laid back in a clinical setting but would have difficulty with this. The instructor needs to put on her big girl panties (no pun intended) and dock the student a few points for...

  23. May give up my dream of being a nurse

    Moogie replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Students

    I can't tell you for sure that there will be a spot for you, but you never know. People do give up their seats in nursing school. They may change their minds or maybe they've applied at other schools...

  24. So angry and annoyed!

    Moogie replied to SweettartRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Closing this for now to allow for some cooling-off time. OP, I definitely feel for you in this situation. Will keep you and your beloved father in my

  25. Since when is it okay to brag about abusing a patient?
