  1. Looking for resources

    I have a friend who finished LPN school a while ago and hasn't been able to pass NCLEX and now has been out of real like practice in hospital. Is there any "refresher" course that has simulations that could help her refresh her skills and the critic...
  2. So there is no doubt that in-person nursing skills and health assessment labs are to gold standard for teaching students, student practice and being able to do check offs. But given the COVID situation, and the possibility of needing to possibly sta...
  3. Ugh. I've been a nurse for 20 years--ER always (and some other units). On my feet 8-12 hours a day for 20 years. Now for the last year I got a knee injury and then knee and hip pain. All wear and tear and overuse DX--patellarfoemoral syndrome, p...
  4. When is it time to leave ER?

    Just thought I would update. I had stayed with the ER. But again the bullying came around, had to get the union involved (I was having health issues and the ER bullies were making it their business to try to get me in trouble with excessive absence...
  5. So in the hospital as a nurse you are evaluated based on your performance that is observed, peer eval, maybe your written documentation, your percent of scanning meds, following policy, etc. But how are your evaluated as a clinical instructor? Is i...
  6. When is it time to leave ER?

    Thank you all for your posts. They are along the lines I am thinking too. I know that I will need to still continue to keep up my ER critical thinking even if I leave the ER. We will see. If one of the other units offers me a benefited part-time ...
  7. When is it time to leave ER?

    So I have been an ER nurse now for 20 years, since graduating from nursing school. I have done many things also besides ER--treadmill lab, gyn/onc, teaching, etc. I love ER--the excitement, the use of skills, pt teaching, etc. But in the last year...
  8. While I may not be young, what can I do about 2 nurses that I work with that consistently talk behind peoples backs and try to stir up trouble for people. Literally they will try to talk about nurses to other nurses to gossip and then talk to the n...
  9. So our school of nursing (in California) is revamping the curriculum. Many faculty want to do away with questions that require students to calculate drip rates or pay attention to drop factors. The main argument being that most things are and shou...
  10. Help! I have to do a per diem night shift (haven't done nights since nursing school). Not really sure how to get myself to sleep during afternoon evening. Do I try to take like a melatonin at 3 in the afternoon and put on eye shades and use ear p...
  11. I need help. I am a new instructor with Med-surg. THis course is not easy--nor are the undergrad students who seem to have it out for me since they did poor on a test. Now I am scared since one of the regulating bodies is coming for our survey and...
  12. Throwing out test questions

    Ok. SO I just gave my first med-surg test online and the majority of the class scored between 70-75%. I thought I had prepped them well--I chose questions that are most practical to actual clinical practice. I made a study guide specifically targe...
  13. Help..teaching med-Surg

    I have the previous syllabus. I can view the slides from the previous instructor--which are way to ICU detailed and I have slides from textbook author. I am trying to view this as I want to make the class my own (not just lecture from author slides...
  14. Help..teaching med-Surg

    I will be teaching med-Surg for the first time for a BSN program. I've only done lab classes before. Scared for how to fill a 3 hour class with lecture. Also typical fears of what if they ask me a question I don't know. How do I make things inter...
  15. Best online Masters in Nur Education?

    I did mine through CSU Dominguez Hills. The GRE not required. There is no thesis. I only had to go to campus two times. I had a great relationship with faculty and fellow students online. I learned a lot. California state tuition--so it is a ba...
