  1. topics for literature review

    Moogie replied to orangepink's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Do a search of some of the databases (i. e. CINAHL) to see if enough articles have been published on this topic. If you find only a couple, you might want to rethink your topic. Look carefully at the...

  2. explain this to me

    Moogie replied to Lanesmama's topic in General Students

    It is important for a school to be accredited by either the NLNAC (which accredits LPN through DNP programs) or the CCNE (which accredits only BSN or higher). Especially in a competitive job market,...

  3. Nerves kicking in

    Moogie replied to demylenated's topic in General Students

    I think I have an idea of how you feel. I was out of nursing for about 15 years or so and was very nervous when I did a refresher course and had to do patient care for the first time in a long time....

    Moogie replied to havehope's topic in General Students

    Do you have concerns about test anxiety in nursing school? Talk to one of your instructors or someone in your school's counseling center about your test anxiety. They may be able to help you with test...

  7. At my age, should I forget about upper level degrees?

    Moogie replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    I just finished my master's in nursing at age 51 and am starting a PhD in nursing in the fall. My husband is a veteran so I used the GI bill for my master's. I am blessed to have gotten a fellowship...

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

    Here's a link to the full article: http://www.norwalkcitizenonline.com/news/article/Fake-Nurse-of-the-Year-sentenced-to-nine-months-926052.php BTW, back in the olden days, "boards" were only offered...

  9. So i'm a Nurse right????

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

    Niko1999, Please look on your state BON website to see how you should sign. You will likely either sign "GN" for graduate nurse or "RNA" for Registered Nurse Applicant" depending on your

  10. So i'm a Nurse right????

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

    Actually, a graduate nursing student is someone who is either in a master's or a doctoral level nursing program. Doesn't matter if the person is already a nurse (RN or LPN/LVN) or doing an entry-level...

  12. Offensive Nursing Behavior

    Moogie replied to carbaminohemoglobin's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Actually, I have seen nurse managers throw away incident reports. A nurse manager with whom I worked once made a transcription error that resulted in a resident getting medication that was supposed to...

  13. Offensive Nursing Behavior

    Moogie replied to carbaminohemoglobin's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This is verbal and emotional abuse. Many years ago, nurses were educated on "reality orientation", that is, bringing the person back to reality by gently pointing out the date, place, the fact that...

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

    Moogie replied to BrentRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's difficult to type accurately on a very small keyboard like a cell phone or an iPod. Therefore, unless it's absolutely necessary, (i.e., can't make it to class because of a blizzard) I don't text...

  15. "That having been said..."

    Moogie replied to psu_213's topic in General Nursing

    Verbal quirks of habit don't bother me. I am guilty of peppering my conversation with a few on occasion. On the other hand, I just about LOSE my patience when people write about LOOSING weight or...

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

    Moogie replied to BrentRN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe the prospective student sent this on a cell phone. Some of my AN postings and FB messages are atrocious when I use my iPod. I don't think you can reject the student's application if he/she has...

  17. What do you think of Clinical Nurse Leaders (CNL)?

    Moogie replied to onedayitllbeme's topic in General Specialties

    Would your state also not permit someone with an ADN and a bachelor's in another field to do an ADN-MSN bridge to become an APN? Or would that also be prohibited? Would the state recognize someone who...

  18. What do you think of Clinical Nurse Leaders (CNL)?

    Moogie replied to onedayitllbeme's topic in General Specialties

    Individual state nurse practice acts determine the appropriate level of education for advanced practice nurses (NP, CRNA, CNS, CNM). I've heard about some rather strange things in nurse practice acts...

  19. ELL and mental health

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

    As you say, it sounds like this is a language barrier and not a question of her not knowing the content. I understand what you're saying about her not being able to demonstrate the communication...

  20. I am a new grad and got a job as ALF director position!

    Moogie replied to eve5483's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't mean to sound harsh, but someone with no experience as a nurse other than nursing school clinicals has no business being the director of anything. You will have enough on your plate learning...

    I worked at Mayo 25 years ago and feel that the experiences still impact my career even now. My working there has opened doors for me professionally, even all after all these years. Most importantly,...

  24. Is making friends in school important?

    Moogie replied to CourtneyLR's topic in General Students

    Nursing school should not be a popularity contest but had I not made some good friends in the programs I've done, I would have lost my mind. I made two very good friends during my mental health...

  25. Seriously?!?!?!

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

    I don't like the changes in your grading scale, not only because they impact you but because they're not good for the nursing program. They smack of grade inflation, IMHO, and don't really help the...
