    Send video tape to state boards

    You stopped to make a video when a patient was yelling he couldn't breathe? Surely you are not serious. This might be a troll post, but I'll respond anyway. Maybe do some self-reflection, how you could have handled this better next time. open the pat...
  2. So sorry you went through this, OP. I am glad to hear you spoke up and reported this person, who had likely done the same thing to others.

    ^^^THIS!!^^^ every student needs to understand this, from day one in first-ever clinical.

    Why wasn't I placed in the ED?

    I think you are being a bit harsh, MMJ. The OP has thanked other members for their advice and stated she understands the opportunity being presented to her- though upset initially. I get it, we want what we want when we want it, but not everyone ha...

    Research Critique

    Right, I was thinking the same thing, maybe that it is more of a QI project. Without seeing the article, I wonder if the "interview" was more of the kind of interview a case manager would do when working with a patient. The lack of IRB mention is a ...

    DNP vs MSN

    Most nurse educators are MSN-prepared. Academia seems to be the only place where you would actually get paid more to have a doctorate, but why not find out whether you enjoy teaching before taking the extra step?

    What Do You Love About Nursing?

    One of the best things about nursing was that it made me a better person. More mature, because I had to grow up pretty quick. Not that I was immature or bad before that, but I had to get better structure and organization. More able to take things i...
  10. You are correct that APAP is not an NSAID, I was just making a point why specifically APAP would have been ordered and not NSAIDS.
  11. Agreed. I broke my foot a couple years ago and it just was not that painful even though it was a comminuted fracture. Ice and elevation really worked wonders. Obviously another patient's experience may be different, but after the initial snap it w...
  12. This is fascinating. The online version took more of your time as an instructor? How so? the online discussion? Learning the tech? I found BlackBoard to be a non-intuitive interface; using it for creating tests and content was clumsy for me. I c...
  13. Great article! Thanks for writing these. I second everything, especially the part about really wanting students to succeed and being willing to support that. It's definitely true that having a student who is not successful is difficult emotionally...
  14. Hi Caffeine, thanks for posting. I have two follow-up questions for you- Are you an ADN or BSN? In what specialty do you use percussion?
