   loganable replied to mskate's topic in Doctoral

   ArkFan: I wont give you a rash of crap, but I do disagree with some of your thoughts. I hear a lot of anti DNP stuff all the time, and I just don't understand where it is all coming from. I do think some of the curricula leave a bit to be desired. T...

   loganable posted a topic in NP

   Is there a study guide on CD that you recommend? I am going to a distance FNP program and thought I might get some audio digest sort of things for the long car trips! Also, has anyone used Kindle? I was thinking of getting one of those too. Not a...

   loganable replied to StaRNew's topic in Post Graduate

   I have had Moms on my parenting board chastize me for "letting strangers raise the kids" or neglecting them, but I've never had someone say it to my face. Honestly, that is SO unbelievably rude it makes clear the speaker has issues that have nothing...

4. The Frontier School Of Midwifery and Family Nursing

   loganable replied to caitiecait's topic in NP

   I think in depends entirely upon the student. My BFF went to an Ivy League school for ACNP, worked 36h a week, raised 3 kids as a single mom, was the brownie troop leader and had numerous other volunteer obligations. She had no trouble. Another fr...

6. Academic letter of recommendation

   loganable replied to UTVOL3's topic in Post Graduate

   I was cautioned against using physicians for LOR at all for grad school apps, rationale being they want to hear what NURSES think of you. I was told that physician letters of rec to a nursing school is a common mistake that usually backfires.

   Start with someone who actually knew you, of course. If they have moved on speak to the current Dean. Perhaps she can access your records and write something based on them.

9. English as Second Language Students

   loganable replied to usadog's topic in Educators

   I am teaching allied health to highschool students, so it is a bit different. I have an ESL student and no, I am not allowed to fail her. I have to remediate her over and over until she passes. I too found that sending her to student services to g...

    loganable replied to Pachinko's topic in Educators

12. Chronic pain medication notice

    loganable replied to yensid's topic in NP

    loganable replied to cowgirlBSN's topic in Educators

    I have been teaching the same program for three years. The hardest part is dealing with some of the attitude problems one encounters with teens, and of course, parents. My program is coupled with the local communty college and my students get 5 credi...
