    Moogie replied to trina9230's topic in General Nursing

  5. Accommodations for ADHD/Anxiety in clinicals?

    Moogie replied to finallyfound10's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    That's a great question and I'm sorry it's taken so long for someone to answer! As per the ADA, schools are supposed to give reasonable accommodations for ADHD as well as anxiety disorders. However,...

  6. New Grad with Chronic Fatigue

    Moogie replied to morningland's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I don't see any medical advice given in this thread, just things that nurses would be careful to check in the case of symptoms that the OP has listed. It can be a fine line, but medical advice would...

  12. Dog Tired

    Moogie replied to suni's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I can't imagine trying to do all of that! A master's degree is tough enough without the additional stress of a full-time job and taking care of an elderly parent. I did 34 credits in 16 months with...

  14. Need some opinions

    Moogie replied to mama-bear's topic in General Students

    Some CDs are very helpful and are full of animations, case studies, and practice questions. If you're a visual learner, the CDs can be quite useful and help you to understand the text better. Some are...

  15. Is it true? BS + RN does not = BSN?

    Moogie replied to Cathylady's topic in General Nursing

  16. TOO OLD

    Moogie replied to lawandaluxnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if the nurse manager is intimidated by the extensiveness of your experience. I was once in a situation in which I was older, more experienced, and more educated than the manager. Suffice it...

  17. Do I need TED hose/support hose for long shifts?

    Moogie replied to cogath's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    There are knee-high socks that don't look like support hose. You can buy them in pretty much every uniform shop. I've found that they are adequate to support my legs during a long shift. However, as...

  18. Is it true? BS + RN does not = BSN?

    Moogie replied to Cathylady's topic in General Nursing

    Most universities do not offer associate degree programs. Some do but most don't. Accelerated BSN programs are intensive programs, many less than 18 months in length, for persons who have previous...

  19. Is it true? BS + RN does not = BSN?

    Moogie replied to Cathylady's topic in General Nursing

    Some private colleges offer a Bachelor of Arts with a major in nursing. What I find interesting is that many classified ads for nursing jobs will specify that the employers want an RN with a Bachelor...

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

    NurseBarronRN, as long as the school is accredited by either the NLNAC or CCNE (the usual accrediting body for BSN and graduate programs) you're fine. You only run into problems if the school is not...

  24. Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

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

  25. Not sure about LPN vs. RN vs. BSN!

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