  1. New Nurse ... not distinguishing myself as brilliant

    Nursing IS humbling and kudos for you for saying it first! :)
  2. clinicals

    I'm chuckling at this post. I loved my clinical students (& I think they liked me too) but I felt they needed a "break" so I rarely ate lunch with them. ALso it gave me a chance to check in with the floor nurses and make sure all was good (my s...
  3. Certified Nurse Educator (CNE) Exam 2013

    I used your CNE quizlet page and there were so helpful! I passed!!!!!
  4. Online Nursing Instructor Positions

    I currently teach FT for the University of Mary Washington's BSN Completion program. We get a wide variety of applications because there is a lot of interest--which makes it a more difficult market to get into. Lots of highly qualified applicants! ...
  5. Should I take CNE exam w/o teaching experience?

    I just took the CNE exam this AM....it was TOUGH! Made my CCRN exam look like a cake walk :) And it really is focused on the nurse educator role in academic institutions. The is a certification nursing professional development but all the clinical ...
  6. New Skills Lab Manager Needs Help!

    So the question of the day: how did the overhaul of the skills lab go?
  7. New Skills Lab Manager Needs Help!

    I was the co-founder for a BSN program in 2011. Just graduated with my MSN but had been a clinical instructor for 3 years. I was clueless! SO when we launched our lab- I went to a local university with an established BSN program (Marymount Univers...
  8. Pretty down about being a new CNA

    Evack5318: going to get your BSN right off the bat is a smart idea....especially if you are thinking ED. I've worked in VA, CA & now Illinois and I see the same trend---LPNs are in LTC & Dr's offices. The scope of practice for the LPN/LVN ...
  9. Experienced ICU RN having difficulty finding job

    WOW! Very true! I just moved to the Chicagoland area, have my MSN and current experience in CVICU and it was not easy! Found a great job after 2 1/2 weeks of face to face interviews (note this was AFTER phone interviews!). I recommend trying to ...
  10. YOU need to know what accreditation really means!

    Great resource! I'm always a little surprised at the lack of thought & research some students put in when applying to different nursing schools. Particularly proprietory schools. It is a huge investment both from a financial & personal sta...
  11. Er vs ICU

    I cross-trained to the ER after I finished my orientation in the ICU (so we could float "safely") WAY back in 2001. WOW! It was a totally different beast but it did give me a great deal of insight into how ER nurses roll (in particular--faster deci...
  12. How did you become a Critical Care Nurse?

    I agree with you UltrPosh--the ICU is where you should try to get to. For the CRNA programs I know of, critical care experience is a must (obviously there may be exceptions to the rule!) For what it is worth- I think being a LPN is actually in you...
  13. Talk down to no one...please!

    "I respect everyone who wears blue (or whatever color your job makes you wear), I'm just looking for a little in return." You deserve every bit of it too. I went to school as a "non traditional" student and it wasn't easy. It can be challenging doin...
  14. "Dear" doctor that just yelled at me

    I second that "Hugs to ((((OP))))) for surviving a horrible shift."
