    Moogie replied to KRich's topic in California Nursing

    Moved to California Programs Discussion to elicit more

  2. Not-for-profit vs for-profit colleges...did this make a difference?

    Moogie replied to BabyLady's topic in General Students

    Many MSN programs do not require the GRE. Educational research indicates that the GRE is not predictive of graduate school success so many programs have dropped that requirement. I had to take it for...

  3. Nursing and Fibromyalgia

    Moogie replied to CaLVN530's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Haysed166, I don't want to give you false hope because nursing school can be physically and emotionally demanding, but yes, I think it is possible to have a career as a nurse even if you have...

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

    Check with your state as well as with the management of the nursing home at which you are interested in seeking employment. The regulations differ in each state and what might be valid in one state...

  5. Is there an online rn to MSN-Ed program that doesn't require stats?

    Moogie replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yes, it makes perfect sense. I think your grad program would make accommodations for you in this situation. Maybe you won't have to look for a program that doesn't require stats. I think the most...

  6. Fighting family in Long Term Care

    Moogie replied to ADPIE1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    That's a great question! When I worked LTC, I worked nights so I rarely saw family. I'm moving this thread to the LTC forum to elicit responses from experienced LTC

  7. Dealing with people's negative comments about nurses.

    Moogie replied to ledzepfan's topic in General Nursing

    My husband is a minister and my son is in seminary. Occasionally an acquaintance will launch into a tirade about how "useless" religion is or how all clergy are sex fiends and pedophiles. I try not to...

  8. Is there an online rn to MSN-Ed program that doesn't require stats?

    Moogie replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I just finished an online program that required stats but oddly enough, the school did not offer stats online. Most students took it elsewhere and transferred it in. I live fairly close to the school...

  9. ADN vs BSN nurses

    Moogie replied to sheryl1304's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Since your husband is in the military, you might be eligible for some help with your education. My husband is a veteran and was deployed three times. Because of changes in the GI Bill, he was able to...

  10. Scholarship Essay Please read and review :)

    Moogie replied to Jessicias85's topic in General Students

    Eeeeek! Three essays! Don't do them now if you don't feel motivated (unless they're due really soon). Just take some time to relax. Are they all for the same scholarship? I do understand what you...

    i bolded some of your grammar and made suggestions in red. your essay works but i would want to know a little more about you. if i was on the committee deciding to whom scholarships were awarded, i...

  12. How do you manage hospitalized dementia patients at night?

    Moogie replied to beeble's topic in General Nursing

    The resident was correct in not wanting to give an order for Benadryl. Benadryl can be a very dangerous drug in elderly persons and can exacerbate behavioral symptoms of dementia. The patient could...

  13. Is my school comparable? Am I being set up for failure?

    Moogie replied to TheGirl07's topic in General Students

    Is your school accredited by the NLNAC? If it isn't accredited, if it isn't eligible for accreditation, or if it's lost its accreditation, cut your losses and run. Many employers will not consider...

  14. ADN vs BSN nurses

    Moogie replied to sheryl1304's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That's a really good question! The lack of a BSN differential is a significant barrier to furthering a diploma or AD nurses' education. Does your hospital at least offer tuition reimbursement to...

  15. experienced nurse with anxiety on the job

    Moogie replied to SFDRN's topic in General Nursing

    I worked at a facility at which we had IV teams and catheter teams, so although I have been a nurse for many years, I haven't done too many IV starts or caths. My biggest concern is that I could be...

  16. ELL and mental health

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

    You have a true gift in a supportive administration that will back you up in this matter. When I was a brand-new instructor, I had a clinical group with 5 ELL students and no support whatsoever from...

  17. What if I don't get accepted?

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

    I would ask someone at the school before applying. If they won't accept you because you had failed a previous program, you should find out before you start the process. I would hope they'd give you a...

  18. Anyone worried b/c you did RN and not BSN?

    Moogie replied to Chris99mu's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry but I am a little confused by one of your statements. You said that the hospital will only reimburse you for your RN. Are you saying it would only reimburse for your initial RN education?...

  20. How do I respond to a poorly written request to be a nursing student?

    Moogie replied to BrentRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I was doing online dating, I met a guy who told me his favorite book was "The De Vinchy Code". He seemed genuinely surprised when I turned him down for a date. Sorry for the temporary derail,...

  22. ELL and mental health

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

    I definitely see your point. You're right. Does this devalue mental health nursing? Communication is a skill that students need to successfully learn. If a student can't learn that particular skill...

    Moogie replied to Erin5577's topic in Excelsior College

    Most Excelsior students seem to frequent the Distance Ed forum rather than General Student Discussions so I'm moving this thread over there to elicit more responses. Good luck on your

    Moogie replied to ldeleon111's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Do not take advanced assessment or advanced pharmacy with pathophys or before pathophys. The things you learn in pathophys are foundational to both. My program required a 2-semester, 6 credit...
