   tridil2000 replied to PamtheNurse's topic in Educators

   Oh my. First, no where did I ever write or imply what you just typed. Do not imply I did; so let's be 100% clear on that. Despite this angry post about our profession and infectious disease, please be assured that FLEXIBILITY, is without questio...

   Flexibility is a life skill that will be very beneficial as you begin your practice. GOOD LUCK!

3. Youtube!

   tridil2000 posted a topic in Educators

   Educators, I find it increasingly disturbing that so many nursing students are turning to Youtube now to learn nursing concepts. Kudos to the nurses who leveraged the platform, but neither Sara, Jon or Mike (the most popular hosts) are Masters p...

4. Tutoring on the side?

   tridil2000 replied to megsponRN's topic in Educators

   They are getting their nursing education from Youtube these days. It's a shame.

5. starting legal nursing

   tridil2000 replied to ccraig0034's topic in Legal

   I am not sure if you ever did this? However, your OR experience is very niche, BUT very valuable. I am wondering what you did, because you are in a unique position to subcontract out your specific expertise to LCLs!

7. What Is Wrong with These Students?

   tridil2000 replied to PamtheNurse's topic in Educators

   I really liked your comment, and wonder how you feel about what I call, "clinical care RNs," and not "bedside" RNs, making BANK these days! Finally after pushing them beyond burnout, beyond mass exodus, and beyond PTSD - finally, their worth is getti...

   It's been a minute- what a year, or should I say 2?! ugh - Anyway, how are you doing now?

9. What to charge for chart review/opinion?

   Can you tell me what your retainer states? That they will pay that minimum no matter what? I am unsure of how to structure this. THANK YOU!

10. Re-admitting nursing students into the program after a failure

    tridil2000 replied to historyfan's topic in Educators

    I think you have a responsibility to look at your own data too. For example, if a high percentage of your fails are from the same tenured professor's course, then that needs to be evaluated with due diligence. Please keep in mind, we are educat...

11. Has anyone tried ‘Legal Nurses Rock’ LNC program?

    tridil2000 replied to Vbergeron's topic in Legal

    Hello- I am not sure what the One hour workshop is? Someone emailed me with a quote of $4900. There was no pdf or breakdown of what would be included with that. I am really leary of that amount. Thank you for more info!

12. What Is Wrong with These Students?

    tridil2000 replied to PamtheNurse's topic in Educators

    I like to see them think. I like to see them imagine and want to understand. I truly enjoy listening to them think outloud. I can see where their thoughts are developing, and redirect that thinking in real time. I make a big deal when someone "gets ...

13. What Is Wrong with These Students?

    tridil2000 replied to PamtheNurse's topic in Educators

    Remind them of the value you bring. Explain concepts in easy terms, then in depth. Make them WANT to learn your craft. Have them verbalize what they learned today what they did not know yesterday, and point out that value. Be the educator you NEEDED....

14. What Is Wrong with These Students?

    tridil2000 replied to PamtheNurse's topic in Educators

    I have no issues with my students. I make my expectations clear and challenge them. I let them challenge me. I remind them how they are getting their money's worth as we summarize what they have leaned with each interaction.
