  2. Are online schools frowned upon for msn?

    Moogie replied to Will-B's topic in General Nursing

    I attend a brick and mortar school that has its graduate programs online. As a previous poster said, online education is not for the disorganized. You need to be a self-motivated, disciplined worker...

  3. Smelly question

    Moogie replied to allie1230's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen similar inhalers at aromatherapy shops and websites. I have one filled with a stress-relieving essential oil and another with lavender. You could also dab some essential oils on your wrist...

  4. What's your favorite lip product for work?

    Moogie replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    Another Mac fan here! :heartbeat I like the Vitamin E lip treatment. It's pricey but, since Mac offers a free lipstick with the return of six empties, I turn in my empties to get mine. I haven't...

  5. help with research

    Moogie replied to suni's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Try searching Yahoo!News, HealthDay or Reuters Health. You may find articles that mention previous publications in the mass media (as well as in professional journals). You could also narrow down...

  6. Yelled at for posting on AN

    Moogie replied to Bormio's topic in General Students

    It might not be that your instructors are monitoring your posts. There are MANY nursing instructors who participate on these boards, not to check up on students, but because they want to network and...

  7. Is this a Bad Evaluation?

    Moogie replied to RaziRN's topic in General Nursing

    i have heard this about other facilities as well. It seems to me to be a poor way to try to motivate employees. If you know you won't be rewarded for trying to achieve excellence in practice and you...

  8. Need online graduate courses- any suggestions?

    Moogie replied to Jonesli's topic in Post Graduate Students

    There are schools that would admit you as an undeclared student so you could take your theory, health care policy, and research from them and transfer to the school you're considering. I hear what...

  9. HHA working as a LPN

    Moogie replied to hha77's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with others---this is putting an unfair responsibility onto you, leaving you liable and, if you would act in this role, you would be in violation of the Minnesota Nurse Practice Act. I also...

  10. Should i change directions...will it help ?

    Moogie replied to workinghard09's topic in General Students

    Frankly, I would talk with your instructors about your difficulty with critical thinking. Have they given you concrete examples of incidents in which they felt you had trouble with critical thinking?...

  12. Work calling 3-4+ times a week to come in

    Moogie replied to PAERRN20's topic in General Nursing

    Why do employers shift the responsibility to the staff rather than hire enough nurses to cover all shifts? It seems that if your facility is calling you multiple times each week to cover for...

  13. academic dishonesty issue

    Moogie replied to jxoxo's topic in General Students

    I understand your frustration but it is really hard to say if this is going to affect your progression in the nursing program and future job prospects. I'm not saying this to be harsh, but it doesn't...

  14. Is there an educator category? Questions on simulator education job.

    Moogie replied to nurse2033's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I moved the thread for you to the Nurse Faculty-Nurse Educators forum, where you might get a few more answers to your questions. I hope you get the

  15. Ignores my being an RN

    Moogie replied to LovemykittyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ask your pastor if there is a formal policy for emergencies in your church. If there isn't a policy, ask for one. (As a BSN student, this would be a great experience for you if you would help write...

  16. Ignores my being an RN

    Moogie replied to LovemykittyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a pastor's wife and an RN. I don't think you're overreacting. Church politics can be tricky. As another poster aptly pointed out, the pastor's spouse should treat people equally and not show...

  18. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    Moogie replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm sorry that you had to put up with the condescending attitude from that particular instructor. FWIW, one of my classmates in my RN to BSN program felt insulted when one of our instructors was...

    Moogie replied to kroyce's topic in General Students

    You must know my cat! While she is not the spawn of Satan, she did have a litter before we adopted her and the folks at the animal rescue named one of her kittens "Lucifer". I didn't know that...

  20. ADN/BSN/MSN

    Moogie replied to millerma1993's topic in Nursing Career

    Definitely talk with your high school counselor to see what might be available in your area and to get an idea of what your options might be. Many nursing programs are very competitive and you want...

  21. Is it really worth it to get your bachelor in today's economy?

    Moogie replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Students

    I would caution you against trying to work two jobs while going to school full-time. I worked almost full-time (64 hours a week) at a hospital while going for my BSN full-time and, while it was...

  22. Nurses with tattoos

    Moogie replied to Deargceann's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe the director was speaking from personal experience rather than out of hypocrisy. However, I would have found it amusing,

  23. Going to an unaccredited school?

    Moogie replied to SusGob711's topic in General Nursing

    You might have a tougher time continuing your education if you graduate from an unaccredited school. You might not be planning to go back right now but in the future you might want to go on for a BSN...

  24. New Grad with an offer at Magnet hospital

    Moogie replied to MsSocalRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If your husband is supportive and can be flexible, if you have family in the area, if the cost of living is less, and if you have a firm offer from the hospital in Tennessee, go for it! It is much...

  25. Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

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

    When I applied to my master's program, I expressed concerns about my age because I had just turned 51. The associate dean of the grad school reframed it and said that I was ONLY 51. Sure, some of my...
