  1. please help me! :'( no period over 3 yrs

    Moogie replied to katie23's topic in General Nursing

    I am very sorry that this is happening to you. You sound very frustrated and I certainly can't blame you. Unfortunately, we cannot give medical advice here and it is necessary to close this thread....

  2. Confusing homework question- what's your input?

    Moogie replied to heatherhammy's topic in General Students

    Very good question! I would ask if there is any possibility whatsoever that the patient (oops, client) could be pregnant, if she is sexually active and what kind of contraception she uses. I think...

  3. Does Nursing School hate multiple transcripts?

    Moogie replied to okiedokie123's topic in General Students

    Just make sure that you submit every single transcript, even if you took only one class, even if you transferred in that one class, even if you took that one class many years ago. Speaking from...

  4. Nursing Career & Relationships, Marriage

    Moogie replied to OnePostAndDone's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, and tell your girlfriend about us! We'd love to have her

  5. Anyone okay with just being a nurse?

    Moogie replied to Kaychell's topic in General Students

    In most places you will need a master's in nursing. Since you already have an MPH, you might be able to bypass the BSN and get into grad school but definitely get a bit of experience under your belt...

  6. Abusive and Cruel Clinical Instructors: Why??

    Moogie replied to sallber's topic in General Students

    Shocked speechless by this. I wish I could say I didn't believe you but unfortunately, I do. Did your classmate stay in the program after this happened? Is the instructor still teaching at that...

  7. Does your nose run only at work?

    Moogie replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    I tend to get sinus infections when I am working in a clinical setting. Doesn't matter if it's acute care or LTC, if I'm working the floor or teaching. Perhaps I am allergic to

  8. Calling all night nurses!! Newbie night shifter needs sleep tips, STAT! :-)

    Moogie replied to AZO49008's topic in General Nursing

    You're doing all the right things so far, especially sticking to the night shift schedule on your days off. It can raise havoc with relationships---my husband was not really thrilled when I was...

  9. finish bachelor's degree or start pre-reqs for lpn school?

    Moogie replied to knottygirl's topic in General Students

    Hmmmm....you sound like you'd be a great fit for informatics. There are several master's programs and even a few DNP programs that offer concentrations in nursing informatics. I think you could have...

  10. Which pre-nursing classes did you find the most useful?

    Moogie replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    You make an excellent point. I know of one nursing program that requires students to take a professional writing course to get accustomed to APA style. It is different from MLA and I can see how...

  11. Not used to getting B's...

    Moogie replied to ErinRN2B's topic in General Students

    I didn't notice it either and I took an exam last week that was pretty much the way Aurora described hers! I am right there with

  12. request help

    Moogie replied to lyrlan's topic in General Students

    I agree with the above poster. I think your ideas are definitely from the heart but you're asking how to make a good impression on an admissions committee. Are you limited in the number of words you...

  13. Not used to getting B's...

    Moogie replied to ErinRN2B's topic in General Students

    Dudette, that comment merits a beverage alert! I nearly spewed Vitamin Water all over my computer screen! On topic...whatever standards someone sets for him/herself should be respected. If someone...

  14. Do you guys see a lot of people saying they are nursing students....

    Moogie replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Several posts from this thread have been removed because they were not helpful and bordered on personal attacks. Posts that are rude, sarcastic, and intended to insult members of this forum cannot be...

  15. Not used to getting B's...

    Moogie replied to ErinRN2B's topic in General Students

    Just a gentle reminder from your friendly, neighborhood moderator... Several posts from this thread have been removed because they were not helpful and bordered on personal attacks. We understand...

  16. How do you all feel about grading classmate's work?

    Moogie replied to aem31's topic in General Students

    I have known people who would do just that. Seriously. Peer evaluation can be an amazing tool---and it is used extensively in practice so we do need to become familiar with it as students. However,...

  17. Would you have reported this med error?

    Moogie replied to IowaLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Pepcid is a trade name for famotidine, an H2 blocker. For those who are not familiar with the med, it is used to treat heartburn as well as the ulceration and inflammation of esophagitis resulting...

  18. How do you all feel about grading classmate's work?

    Moogie replied to aem31's topic in General Students

    Good grief----talk about tempting someone to change his/her answers and cheat! I totally agree with ashleywaiting623 that the OP should NOT tell the teacher it's his/her job to grade the papers....

  19. How do you all feel about grading classmate's work?

    Moogie replied to aem31's topic in General Students

    You are right. My bad. Re-reading the original post, it does appear to be a review sheet---but it's confusing because the OP states she was graded on this. So if it was just review and no grade was...

  20. Recent MSN nurse graduate

    Moogie replied to puppet's topic in General Nursing

    Add me to the folks who are confused. OP, can you please clarify? Are you lacking management experience or bedside experience? We'd like to help but need more information here.

  21. Would you have reported this med error?

    Moogie replied to IowaLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I would have left the nurse a note and asked if she had given the drug. While you can't prove she didn't give it, I have to wonder if the drug was missed and she marked it off on the MAR as having...

  22. Group project

    Moogie replied to Hospice Nurse LPN's topic in General Students

    What types of online tools do you have? I take classes in an online program offered by a brick-and-morter university and we have many, MANY group projects. We use Wimba Pronto, Wimba Classroom,...

  23. How do you all feel about grading classmate's work?

    Moogie replied to aem31's topic in General Students

    I agree with you about getting feedback on incorrect answers. I often learn more from the questions I got wrong than I did from those I got right. I don't agree, however, with the practice of...

  24. How do you all feel about grading classmate's work?

    Moogie replied to aem31's topic in General Students

    It's inappropriate to have students correct each other's test papers. It's an utter violation of student privacy and it creates an atmosphere of mistrust and competition. "Wow, did you see how...

  25. I never want to hear those words from you again

    Moogie replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Alarms are undignified. So is falling out of bed three times during the noc and lying on the floor because the only three staff members for fifty residents (one licensed nurse, two CNAs) are busy...
