   Meese.C replied to VickyRN's topic in Educators

   I have been a nurse for 5 years and today, I held my first post conference. Post conference is an hour and I have 10 ADN students. It was a little difficult for me to fill the hour and continue to engage them. I had a few moments of awkward silence. ...

2. INTERVIEW!!! (for LVN Instructor)

   Meese.C replied to Meese.C's topic in Educators

   It went well! I got the job! :) I think my personality and honest answers/opinions were a selling point. I think they really liked me. To answer my own question (in case there are others out there in the same situation), they asked me scenarios about...

6. NY RN: Looking to further my education, TIRED OF MED SURG!

   Meese.C replied to nursejai525's topic in Career Support

   chamberlain.edu offers an msn/mba double major if you're down. but all nurses go through that "no bedside care phase". with only 2 years experience, there aren't many leadership positions. maybe look into home health, or commuity health nursing. if ...

   Meese.C replied to nursej22's topic in Relations

    Meese.C replied to Mr Sacdiff's topic in Relations

    They'll soon learn that looking out for your CNA, will keep your day running smooth. I know a CNA that's probably not as nice as you. And she would ignore the nurses that treated her badly. I've always took time to thank and help my CNA's. These po...

    Meese.C replied to clover2012's topic in General Nursing

    of course! nursing education does not stop after you have completed your degree. there are always new medication, new interventions for diseases. so if you ever run into something you are unfamiliar with, you look it uo, study it, and make a connecti...
