  1. ANA, NNU and State Nurses' Associations

    Moogie posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've been planning to join the ANA for some time now and recently contacted my state nurses' association for information. Was a little surprised to learn that the nurses' association in the state in...

  2. Stupid things said by your non-nurse significant other

    Moogie posted a topic in Nursing Humor

    This thread is started in honor of my darling husband, who told me this morning that he almost woke me early because he had a bowel obstruction. I said, "A bowel obstruction? Really? Tell me more...

  3. What do you think about universal workers in LTC?

    Moogie posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Just curious. Have talked with some people in LTC who are enthusiastic about the idea of universal workers---meaning employees who could work dietary, nursing, housekeeping---whatever the needs are...

  4. Nurse In Style- Because We Care!!!!

    Moogie replied to nursenyiva's topic in General Nursing

    Diane von Furstenberg designed some uniforms in the early to mid-1980s. I wore them. They were pretty and practical. (Keep in mind these were white uniforms, mostly dresses...not scrubs like we wear...

  5. DNP-Possible to transfer credits???

    Moogie replied to heynow1313's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You're welcome. I learned this the hard way. I started at one MSN program that was not right for me, left the program, and finished elsewhere. Definitely made the right decision but the transfer...

  6. DNP-Possible to transfer credits???

    Moogie replied to heynow1313's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Transferring graduate credits can be daunting. Most programs allow for no more than 9-12 credits in transfer so you could be taking courses that you'd just have to repeat later. You will need to...

  7. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

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

    There have been a number of articles written about ADN grads who have had previous bachelor's or higher degrees who have not been able to get hired by hospitals that hire only BSNs. Unfortunately,...

  8. Online PhD

    Moogie replied to ann945n's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I did my master's in nursing education online at a state university not too far from where I currently live. I enjoyed the flexibility and not having to commute, but I decided against doing an online...

  9. Taking GREs in a few days, need insight!

    Moogie replied to Nishas22's topic in Post Graduate Students

    :ancong!: Yes, I know how good it feels! I was so glad to have gotten through that miserable exam with a decent score and my sanity intact! Get some well-deserved R & R. Celebrate! Before I took...

  10. what`s the difference?

    Moogie replied to Amani501's topic in Post Graduate Students

    What are your interests? Where do you see yourself in five years? Ten years? When you retire? An MSN in nursing administration will prepare you to be a nurse manager in a hospital setting. Some...

  11. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Moogie replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    This is a really good post. I agree with you. I took weight training for my PE class in my ADN program. I guess it WAS pretty relevant to

  12. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Moogie replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    I would love to take a course on French cuisine. I would not want to pay $1600 a credit for the course, though. ETA: I wish I would have had a better variety of electives available when I did my BSN....

  13. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

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

    You bring up an excellent point. I did my RN-BSN program back in the early 1980s, before my university actually had a separate track for the AD and diploma grads. We took the same classes as did the...

  14. Taking GREs in a few days, need insight!

    Moogie replied to Nishas22's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Do as many practice math questions as you can. The math isn't at a terribly high level---I could probably have done it in high school---but when you're out of HS or college math for a while, you...

  15. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Moogie replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    Two amusing incidents that happened to this old ADN grad: When I had finished my ADN program, I ran into a high school classmate who had flunked out of a BSN program. She asked me if the ADN was...

  16. I just feel that I would feel in much better hands if I had nurses that were sexy

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

    But you see, that wouldn't get ratings. Listeners who enjoy shock jocks want to be titillated. They don't care about nurses being competent; they care about nurses being sexy (or not sexy enough)....

  17. need ebook

    Moogie replied to TYGRSHRK00's topic in General Students

    Please check with your instructor or with your bookstore to see if there's an e-book version available. If you have a Kindle or Kindle software, check Amazon. If you have a Nook, check Barnes and...

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

    If all shock jocks were kind, personable, courteous, and even-tempered.... ...they'd be unemployed. His attitude is swinish, but it's his job. Unfortunately, there are people who take whatever the...

  20. Students cheating on tests....

    Moogie replied to dreamer2011's topic in General Students

    In this case, I blame the instructors. Writing test questions is difficult but using the same test questions year after year is pretty sloppy. The practice encourages cheating. I worked with an...

  21. Students cheating on tests....

    Moogie replied to dreamer2011's topic in General Students

    I once turned someone in for plagiarism on a group project. I agonized about doing it because I knew the honor code at my school and knew she could face dire consequences. The instructor agreed with...

    This is hilarious! Thanks for a good

  23. Is it worth it

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

    Is your school new and eligible for NLN accrediting? If it is, you'll be okay. If the school either never has had NLN accrediting or has lost its accrediting, run. Find another program. Going to a...

  24. Torn between NCLEX books for study??

    Moogie replied to crey29's topic in General Students

    Some texts have workbooks with NCLEX-type questions or might have these questions on the CD or website that accompany the book. You could also ask your advisor for some help in test-taking. Good...
