1. Prioritization Question

   Win98 replied to AllieRat's topic in Student Assist

   I still don't think the morphine patient would be ringing to tell you about serious side effects, when the main side effects are respiratory depression and being comatose.

2. Need help in wording

   Win98 replied to maskp4's topic in Student Assist

   Your instructor is crazy. The words appear and apparent are from the same word. How can she/he tell you not to use appear? Doctors write that all the time. "appears younger (older) than stated age".

4. Prioritization Question

   Win98 replied to AllieRat's topic in Student Assist

   First of all, I would need a bit more info on each of these patients, but I'm going to rock the boat. I would first go the patient who needs the toilet. If he/she is ringing bell to go the toilet, he/she obviously need help to get there, and I would...

5. Anyone (or someone you know) fail clinical?

   Win98 replied to SirJohnny's topic in General Students

   As a clinical instructor myself, I find it difficult to believe that all of the students mentioned in previous posts were failed for the reasons mentioned. I have failed three students in clinical, but it was after several counselling sessions, sugg...

   Win98 replied to ruthiebaby88's topic in Agency

   I worked in Australia for awhile, and loved it. I was on staff at a hospital, not working for an agency. Our ICU used nurses from Code Blue regularly as replacement for sick calls etc. Many of the staff nurses in the unit worked with Code Blue to ...

7. Any Suggestions for a 1st time Clinical Instructor???

   Win98 replied to nightingale's topic in Educators

   I found the following book extremely useful when I first began clinical teaching. In fact, when I showed it to the college where I am teaching, they have advised all new clinical teaching staff to get it. It's available on Amazon. Clinical Instruct...

   Thanks for the replies. As I said, I've ordered Garcia and made it the requirerd text for the course. I don't think I will be disappointed.

9. Best ECG text?

   Win98 replied to Win98's topic in CCU

   I went ahead and ordered the Garcia text, cause I had to make a decision so the college can order enough copies for the students to buy. Whatever it is lacking, which prob isn't much, I have about 10 other ECG texts around the house!! Thanks though.

    I am part way through my first experience in clinical teaching. I would like the students to evaluate my performance and effectiveness at the end of the practicum. Does anyone out there have an evaluation tool that I could give to the students for ...

13. Charles Sturt University Online?

    Win98 replied to obes99's topic in International

    Charles Sturt is well recognized in my experience - both personal and fellow students. I would highly recommend them. They have had so many Canadian students that they now have a separate "Bach Health Science Nursing (Canada)" degree course. All ...

14. unionized vs nonunionized

    Win98 replied to TraceyS's topic in Safety

    I think that unions make nurses BE less professional. Seniority is defined as length of time in one workplace, and does not recognize length of time in the profession or experience gained in other places. Union contracts reward people for staying i...

15. Critical Thinking: How To Inspire It?

    Win98 replied to Team HPNI's topic in Educators

    I agree with healingtouchRN The nurses I speak of always do the minimum required - basically re-certifiying for BCLS and unit-specific procedures, but that's about it. A great deal of the 'culture problem' is down to the management of the unit. ...
