  2. Should I do the Honors Option in my nursing program???

    Moogie replied to wilso114's topic in General Students

    If you're thinking at all about graduate school, absolutely. It might be enough to give you a competitive edge, maybe in seeking employment, but definitely in applying to a grad program....

  3. Nursing Made Incredibly Easy books...

    Moogie replied to my3suns's topic in General Students

    I'm in graduate school and have taught nursing. I use these books all the time when I want something boiled down to the basic

  4. American Nurses Association

    Moogie replied to csupiphi's topic in General Nursing

    If you're a new graduate you can take advantage of a discounted membership your first year. Some state nursing associations are no longer affiliated with ANA so if you live in such a state, you will...

  5. APA format software vs. Free Downloads

    Moogie replied to BMORE-CSU-RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I keep this website open at all times when I'm working on a paper. It has been much more helpful to me than any of the books or the APA software. I've got some of the downloads and found them not to...

  6. avoiding evil CIs = RN

    Moogie replied to amianurseyet?'s topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    In all honesty, yes, there are clinical instructors who are unfair or unable to teach. Student assessment is difficult work and it's hard for many instructors, particularly novice instructors, to...

  7. ASN program and taking science classes at the same time

    Moogie replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    Honestly, I wouldn't do it. The nursing courses are going to take up a great deal of time and, if you think you'd be a good fit in pharmacy, they might only distract you from what you really want as...

  8. if you had to do it all over again, what profession would u choose?

    Moogie replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    If I could go back in time to do it all over again, I would be a professor of women's studies at a major university. The field was just getting off the ground when I was a young 'un and it would have...

  10. Am I dumb or what?

    Moogie replied to SamAcct's topic in General Nursing

    You are NOT dumb! I think you might be having a bit of test anxiety. You're putting a lot of pressure on yourself to do well and your anxiety might be getting in the way of your success in exams....

  11. Question about cholesterol level....

    Moogie replied to luvmy2angels's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry but we cannot give medical advice here. I do empathize with your concerns but urge you to speak to your husband's primary care provider about this. Closing the thread but wishing you the...

  12. Dont now what to do

    Moogie replied to it's hot in phoenix's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I second that. These career options are all very different. What do you want to do? Where do you see yourself going in your career? What appeals to you most about these programs and what drawbacks...

  13. MO degeneration.

    Moogie replied to comnursesall's topic in General Nursing

    Comnursesall, we would really like to help you but need some clarification as to the context of these acronyms, abbreviations, or terms that you don't understand. Are you a student and are seeing...

  14. Please, urgent advice needed!Metro State University or University of Iowa

    Moogie replied to Yenrix's topic in Post Graduate Students

  15. I have questions about Financial Aid

    Moogie replied to BearCare's topic in General Students

    Talk with the financial aid office at your school. They can help you figure out what to do and how to go about filling out the

  16. Just registered for my FINAL semester!!

    Moogie replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Students

    I registered for my final semester in grad school a couple of weeks ago. It still seems like a long ways off but I'm starting to count down the months until I finish. Can't wait to look like this:...

  17. I had an 89 yr old patient curse out the doctor today.

    Moogie replied to my.toys's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with both of you and have seen plenty of examples of people denying the inevitable throughout my career----although the attitude seems to be more prevalent in recent years than, say, twenty or...

  18. Best makeup for clinicals?

    Moogie replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    Love my Clairisonic! I use mine daily, sometimes twice a day and definitely see a difference. Have you changed your brush lately? I notice that, even if my brush is clean, if I get lazy about...

  19. Best makeup for clinicals?

    Moogie replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me. It's a book by beauty expert Paula Begoun in which various cosmetics and skin treatments are rated in terms of effectiveness, price, user-friendliness,...

  20. Best makeup for clinicals?

    Moogie replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    Definitely agree with the suggestions to use mineral makeup and a primer. I have sensitive skin and can't wear many cosmetic lines but I can wear MAC. I wear Prep + Prime SPF 50 and mineralized...

  21. why nurses cannot have a nail polish..?

    Moogie replied to ar.en.greta's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    That makes a lot of sense. Not to open a new can of worms here but I've never understood why some health care facilities insist that staff come in to work even if they're sick. Yes, people will...

  22. booted from program 3 weeks before graduation.

    Moogie replied to upset student's topic in General Students

    Tyler, thank you for a well-written and thoughtful post. I will respectfully disagree with you, though, that any deficiencies that OP might have had would have been addressed earlier. In nursing...

    Moogie replied to artistnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I think previous posters have given some good ideas to help you with this. Unfortunately, we cannot give medical advice as per our Terms of Service agreement. https://allnurses.com/terms-info.html...

  24. I gather 46 is too old to be a CNA

    Moogie replied to kellysmum's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    There are many CNAs who are in their forties and older----and many people on these forums who are starting nursing school or going back for more education well into their fifties and beyond. If this...
