1. Background checks

   iteach replied to Medsport's topic in Ohio

   Absolutely do NOT lie to the board of nursing. This can get you in much more trouble than something you did over 20 years ago when you were underage. I think your school should have told you on admission that a criminal background check was necessary...

2. Nurse educator Insight sought

   iteach replied to tookewlandy's topic in Educators

   Ask whether you are now on a wating list for spring or the following fall or if you need to reapply. Where I teach, if you don't get in for that semester, you need to reapply and join the large pool of applicants. Having been wait listed doesn't give...

3. discouraged educator

   iteach replied to 19Claire59's topic in Educators

   You might find it helpful to ask a trusted peer to engage in peer evaluation of your instruction. After watching you teach, you should have a heart to heart constructive conversation about your teaching. Then have this peer look at your exam related ...

4. Post clincal conference topic ideas

   iteach replied to vickie0117's topic in Educators

   Thanks for the student perspective! I've learned not to try to discuss anything too heavy after 6 hours of pt care, especially once the nice weather hits!!

5. Post clincal conference topic ideas

   iteach replied to vickie0117's topic in Educators

   Hi! I hope these ideas help. First, your conferences should be related to what the students are learning in lecture. For example, if lecture was on CHF, have a student present their pt with CHF. Draw some concepts maps on the board, have discussions,...

8. evaluating students in clinical

   iteach replied to BeenThereDoneThat74's topic in Educators

   Some comments that I have used for my average students: Student delivers safe, competent care (otherwise you wouldn't be passing them). Student comes to clinical prepared.... Asks questions when unsure.... Deomonstrates professional accountability....

9. Legal implications for volunteering

   iteach replied to nursejoey05's topic in Legal

   I'd contact your malpractice insurance company to see whether you'd be covered for the things you are describing. If I wasn't covered, I wouldn't do it!

10. Writing for publication

    iteach replied to pearls33's topic in Educators

    Some suggestions, go to Guidelines for Authors before you start your article. It gives lots of good advice. Then go ahead and write and submit the artilce. If they like the idea, they will work with you. "Upper-Tier" journals won't do this. In your c...

11. Question of the Month: Nursing Faculty Working Part-time in Clinical Settings?

    iteach replied to VickyRN's topic in Educators

    Thanks to those who support my point of view. Just to clarify one point. We are not given time off for working in a clinical setting to remain current. To do this, I would be working my already 40+ hour a week position, but then I would be working cl...

12. First Week of Clincial

    iteach replied to BGSRN's topic in Educators

    Our first day of clinical is not a patient care day. That relieves much student anxiety. Students come to the hospital in professional clothes and a lab coat. We meet in a class room and first go over hospital policies, fire safty, etc. I then go ove...

    iteach replied to VickyRN's topic in Educators

    I certainly stay "connected" to practice when I suprevise senior leadersip students caring for 3 to 4 patients a piece. I have 10 students in each clinical group. I work very closely with these students giving IV meds through many different types of ...

14. Question of the Month: Nursing Faculty Working Part-time in Clinical Settings?

    iteach replied to VickyRN's topic in Educators

    There is such a dire shortage of nursing faculty right now that if clinical practice was required, the shortage would be staggering. I teach at a major university and we accept only a fraction of our qualified candidates due to insufficient faculty.

15. tips when you have a student nurse

    iteach replied to blufoxtrot's topic in Educators

    Remind the nurses that they retain overall responsiblity for the patient even though there is a student. Some nurses hand their patients off to us and I try to explain that they are still responsible for the patient and need to stay intimately involv...
