    KrysyRN, yes, it

  2. schools losing accreditation or being placed on probation

    Moogie replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    This is a long read but here's a link to the NLNAC 2008 Standards and Criteria for Associate Degree Programs in Nursing. http://www.nlnac.org/manuals/SC2008_ASSOCIATE.htm The NLNAC is the...

  3. Is studying OLD editions of Nursing books a more hurtful than helpful?

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

    Look at the older books for only the very basics about anatomy and as references for nursing history. Texts from the 1990s are too old to be of much use for contemporary practice. Even texts from 2000...

  4. How do you protect your license? What are common errors to avoid? Pls. HELP

    Moogie replied to newbiekenobe's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think any member who comes to AllNurses expecting to copy and paste answers for homework questions is in for a big shock. There are many nurse educators on this forum and most don't take too kindly...

  5. In progress MSN... can't stand nursing theory... switching to PA school ASAP

    Moogie replied to algebra_demystified's topic in Post Graduate Students

    No crow being served up...but have you considered switching to a different master's program? While you would have to take some sort of theory course in any master's level nursing program, most don't...

  6. At least 2/3 of my BSN-A cohort is failing... what to do?

    Moogie replied to sertile's topic in General Students

    Is this the first time so many students in the BSN-A cohort have failed? Is it a new instructor? Has anything changed since previous cohorts? The educational literature suggests that schools have no...

  7. Just Rejected From Nursing School - Most Ridiculous Admissions Office

    Moogie replied to guest_57352's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    SyberianPuppy, I am just so sorry this happened to you. It just sounds like the admissions process was changed to make it easier for the school, not to ensure that the most qualified students were...

  8. Just Rejected From Nursing School - Most Ridiculous Admissions Office

    Moogie replied to guest_57352's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think this is less about the merits of a community college vs. an Ivy League education and more about the OP's frustration that the admission guidelines were not followed. Had the school followed...

  9. Political Discussions at Work

    Moogie replied to drgnflydggr's topic in General Nursing

    It is completely inappropriate to talk politics in the presence of a patient. Especially considering how volatile the situation is in Wisconsin right now, I would imagine that this sort of talk could...

  10. Frustrated by unhelpful advisors :(

    Moogie replied to Loving This's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Moved this to the Pre-Nursing forum for you, LovingThis. I am sorry to hear about your frustrations. Unfortunately, as other posters have said, this sort of thing is not uncommon at any level of...

  11. HELP! 1 class short of my degree!

    Moogie replied to debstmomy's topic in General Students

    Can you take a CLEP exam and test out of the three credits of humanities you still need? Ask your advisor or someone in the academic counseling center at your CC about this. Also, if you take a...

  12. African Americans as nurses.

    Moogie replied to Daniel Floyd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just a reminder from your friendly neighborhood moderator: The OP is a high school student who asked a sincere question. While it may seem like a joke or an effort to stir up drama to some members,...

  13. SENIORITIS

    Moogie replied to exit96's topic in General Students

    I finish my master's in May and this last stretch feels like pulling teeth. I'm tired and ready to be

  14. How to correct gpa problem?

    Moogie replied to WickedRedRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Please keep trying, both of you! You both sound like motivated students who would be assets to the graduate program who accepts you. You might be able to find a program that will accept you...

  15. Random sentences in textbooks

    Moogie replied to sairin8's topic in Nursing Humor

    I really hope that's from an ancient textbook that you found in the library and not in a current

  16. Graduate Entry: Am I a Competitive Candidate?

    Moogie replied to AniLMT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think you sound like a very competitive candidate. Your life experiences are extraordinary and the school that admits you will be lucky to have

  17. What do you do in clincals when you are in a RN-BSN program?

    Moogie replied to Dazglue's topic in General Students

    In my RN-BSN program, we only had two clinicals. The first was a one-on-one therapeutic communication course that was required for all students and the other was public health. We also did a few...

  18. Instructors deciding our fate??

    Moogie replied to BiohazardBetty's topic in General Students

    Mandychelle79, you are right. There are some instructors who should never be permitted to set foot in a classroom or a clinical setting because they don't understand how to assess student learning. I...

  19. Horrible mistake?

    Moogie replied to excedium's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It isn't the best answer, but it is not a horrible mistake. I think the fact that you've come here to discuss this with other students and nurses means that you're cognizant of this mistake and are...

  20. Does this *really* bother any other nursing students??

    Moogie replied to Italia23's topic in General Students

    Maybe I am being overly cautious, but the sort of behavior by this acquaintance concerns me deeply. I'm loathe to make a judgment without knowing her, but I wonder if she would be the type to falsify...

  21. PCCN or RN-BSN?

    Moogie replied to melisgood's topic in Nursing Career

    Agree with the others---do both. Just make sure to either take the certification exam first or schedule it during a break. It's difficult to try to study for something like this when you have papers...

  22. NLN HELP!!!!

    Moogie replied to Del07's topic in General Students

    If you don't have to pass the test in order to graduate, maybe you could look at it as a way to alleviate any test anxiety that you might anticipate when you do take NCLEX. Think of it as a practice...

  23. Instructors deciding our fate??

    Moogie replied to BiohazardBetty's topic in General Students

    No. I sat on an admissions and progression committee when I taught in a BSN program and the decision to flunk out a student was often difficult and painful. While there are some faculty who seem to...

  24. School asks for private info?

    Moogie replied to malarwen's topic in General Students

    What a complete and utter jerk! This is a violation of your privacy and it's no one's business how many pregnancies you're had. It sounds to me like they're trying to snoop and figure out who might...

  25. Grading dilemma... what do YOU think?

    Moogie replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in General Students

    If a majority of students failed three tests, it seems to me that there was a flaw either in the testing or in the way the material was taught. I'm all for the instructor reassessing and giving...
