1. Is This Common in LTC?

   jeanbeth replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

   Oh no no no. A sliding scale like this (usually written 0-100; 101-200; 201-300, etc.) is not safe because the MD specifically ordered a call-out if the blood glucose level is above 400 and a nurse following the order AS WRITTEN could be endangering ...

2. Clinical Grading

   jeanbeth replied to ellee45's topic in Educators

   My school uses pass/fail and we evaluate student progress each week, looking for just that - progress. Our students go to different clinical sites so it is deemed unfair to grade students on practice skills when some students may have more opportunit...

3. Leaving the Bedside

   jeanbeth replied to Live.Intentionally's topic in General Nursing

   I left bedside nursing for the reasons exactly as you describe them - "It was about requesting certain days off and not having it approved. It was about not being reimbursed for a conference that improved your line of work. It was about workplace s...

4. What is up with the level of entitlement?

   jeanbeth replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

   I don't understand why it's okay to say "boomers are entitled" or "millennials are entitled". Would it be okay to say "blondes are entitled" or "blue-eyed men are entitled"? Please don't overgeneralize about people based on their year of birth. Kind ...

5. First Teaching Job: Adjunct Faculty

   jeanbeth replied to proudnurse's topic in Educators

   I asked my supervisor if she could recommend an instructor who might have valuable tips for me. I also asked if I could shadow another clinical instructor. There are probably forms, evaluation documents, and policy manuals that you should review. Goo...

6. Gender neutral opening of Congress

   jeanbeth replied to Beerman's topic in Talk Politics

   This didn't irritate me as much as hearing Hawley say "irregardless" in his speech.... https://www.cracked.com/blog/6-words-made-up-by-stupid-people-we-should-learn-to-accept/

7. What is up with the level of entitlement?

   jeanbeth replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

   This is an interesting post because it reflects what my new grad students say to me when they come back to visit me on campus - in reverse. Last week a newly hired grad texted me, "why don't the experienced nurses want to work with me? I know I need ...

8. Happy New Year! What's Your New Year Resolution?

9. Please Read: Fired from first nursing job

   jeanbeth replied to newRN109's topic in General Nursing

   Try to take this as a minor blip in your nursing career. There are so many different paths in nursing and you may find yours on the next attempt. I agree with other posters that your former employers don't care about why you were unsuccessful, and as...

10. Violent Insurrectionists Storm United States Capitol

    jeanbeth replied to herring_RN's topic in Talk Politics

    The woman who was shot at the protests has died. Reminder to the people that Ivanka has referred to as "American Patriots": It's possible to be charged with first-degree murder under the felony murder rule even if there's no intent to kill. All that'...

    jeanbeth replied to porscheXN's topic in General Students

    I am an instructor in a nursing school and a verbal attack in class happened to me. The student quickly sent me an email of apology, which I appreciated. However, the class seemed to continue to shun the student (no responses to her questions/comment...

13. Huge Zoom Mistake....Nurse Instructors Caught!

    jeanbeth replied to Pre.Nurse_tobe's topic in General Nursing

    I can't help thinking about the students - how sad and discouraging to hear this kind of talk from people you had hoped to learn from. The professors' disrespect and lack of support for their students is so hurtful and harmful.

    I teach in a technical school (for profit) in an LPN program. I was surprised the salaries are better than non-profit state schools. You might want to check that out in your state too.
