   Send video tape to state boards

   SHGR replied to Curious1234's topic in Professionalism

   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...

   SHGR replied to mariawong86's topic in General Students

   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.

   Why wasn't I placed in the ED?

   SHGR replied to shan_elle's topic in Emergency

   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

   SHGR replied to drsrn's topic in General Nursing

   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 ...

   Forced to resign after 7 weeks

   SHGR replied to porkdumpling's topic in New Nurse

   My answer here is based on my experiences as a clinical instructor in the last semester before graduation. So when my students finish with me, they are ready to be precepted as new grad GN/RNs. I concur with many of the previous posts here, that th...

   DNP vs MSN

   SHGR replied to susie6785's topic in NP

   The recommendation for DNP by 2020 was just that. It is not a requirement or a mandate. However, many programs converted from MSN to DNP in anticipation. The rumor persists and there was never an official retraction or statement that it is not req...

   DNP vs MSN

   SHGR replied to susie6785's topic in NP

   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?

   SHGR replied to Allison007's topic in General 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...

    Order that says "Don't call MD for pain meds"?

    SHGR replied to Summers3's topic in General Nursing

    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.

    Order that says "Don't call MD for pain meds"?

    SHGR replied to Summers3's topic in General Nursing

    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...

    Why do online courses cost so much? I'm baffled.

    SHGR replied to SHGR's topic in General Students

    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...

    Confessions of a Clinical Instructor (Part II)

    SHGR replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Students

    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...

    SHGR replied to SHGR's topic in Educators

    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?
