    Any WGU mentors.

    A coworker suggested I look into this at WGU. If the no part-time outside work is no longer in effect, I will definitely consider.

    Recording of Class Lectures by Students

    I would not have been as successful in nursing school if it wasn't for the recorded lectures. My school was very liberal with recordings and they also made podcasts of each lecture. I am a very strong auditory learner. I used to listen to the lecture...

    I am a nurse ed. student at Kaplan University and I am trying to secure a preceptor for practicum. Is anyone familiar with the practicum requirements for Kaplan and what is supposed to happen during those 200 hours? I know this is a strange question,...

    Clinic Education ideas

    This is in no way a criticism of you, buy why would they have someone (I assume) with no nursing education experience develop an orientation plan? This makes my teeth itch!

  9. This is soooooo true! I'm actually at a job where I'm making excellent money with no stress, but it is the most boring job I've ever had. It's actually painful getting through the day!

    Torn Between Two Careers

    Somehow I missed this original post. Did the op stay at the office? I need to know, lol. I left bedside for a desk RN position. Even though the money is more at my new job, I get bored every day, and I feel useless. BUT I'd take public flogging over...
  12. Did you flush it before restarting the infusion? I don't understand why you feel you can't face the parents. Maybe the IV needs to be changed to a different area.

    Aggressive Case Mgr. Making me Nuts

    Oh, yeah. It's an unfortunate aspect of acute care now because of reimbursement. I've had difficulties in the past with difficult case managers wanting discharge in the morning, before I have even passes all my morning meds. This is one of the man...
