  1. Humble Nurses Do This

    I actually find the opposite to be true. I am going to have much more respect and a better working relationship with the person asking questions and taking accountability. It is the people who cannot accept criticism or blame others for their mista...
  2. So Frustrated I want to quit nursing altogether

    This sounds very familiar to my current situation although I am not working bedside. While I do not encourage you to quit nursing altogether, I would suggest that you allow yourself to find a place where you feel valued and supported. Many managers...
  3. Anyone else been turned off to academia?

    Yes, dudette. This exactly. Our program was just in probation in 2017. Our NCLEX pass rates are right around 60% right now, yet we continue to push through students who have shown us repeatedly that they are not up to the task. As you said, these d...
  4. Anyone else been turned off to academia?

    I actually make a pretty decent wage. I do believe it to be more than many other faculty jobs (even the knew new director thinks so lol). But honestly, I would not even mind the lower wage if we had quality students and actually spent our time teac...
  5. Anyone else been turned off to academia?

    Hello... I am currently a nurse educator with an LPN program and I cannot wait to find myself another job. I cannot get over the amount of low quality students that are admitted, and the degree of bad behavior that we are expected to put up with. ...
  6. Staff Development/Nurse Educator

    I was recently contacted about a job opportunity at a long term nursing facility. This organization is prevalent/popular in my area, so I am somewhat familiar with them. I do not have any real opinions about the facility, but I have heard negative ...
  7. All academia like this?

    Hello... this is likely going to turn into a venting session for me, but I am honestly wondering if everyone's experience working as nurse faculty is similar to mine. I teach in an 11 month LPN program. I have been doing this work for approximate...
  8. Sticky situation?

    Greetings.... So, I have a situation currently that I have never experienced before. I am actively seeking a new job (non-bedside, leadership type positions) and have been fortunate enough to be invited to interview for two that I applied for. Howe...

    I feel like I am doing everything! Lol
  11. Clinical Paperwork

    "In my ASN program, we showed up to the hospital the night before and chose appropriate patients for the next day and spent all of that time on our clinical paperwork including on care plans and med lists info during that time." Unfortunately, this ...
  12. Clinical Paperwork

    Hello, and thanks for your reply. The students are in the chart searching for information to help them complete their paperwork. I have done as you said and "laid down the law" about computer time, but it continues to happen. I have restricted th...
  13. Clinical Paperwork

    Good morning, I teach in a full time nursing program and two days out of the week, we are in clinical at the local hospital. The students are given 1-2 patients in which they are expected to perform a head-to-toe assessment, complete AM care, and to...
  14. LPN'S

    I am an LPN instructor in Pennsylvania and in my experience, RNs absolutely love working with LPNs. I get nothing but praise about my students in the clinical setting and each of my students have a job before graduation. As others have said in previo...
  15. Students and Facebook

    I am by no means monitoring anyone's Facebook page. The situation was brought to my attention by another student.
