1. Help..teaching med-Surg

   happytoheal replied to goingback's topic in Educators

   Investigate the teaching resources that you have access to with the required text book for the class. Most texts are accompanied with some good teaching resources. When I lecture, I try to speak for about 10-15 minutes, and then break up the learning...

2. post conference

   happytoheal replied to suni's topic in Educators

   How experienced are the students you are working with? For a group working through their first clinical experience, I always like to have a post-conference on report. It always seems that report is pretty intimidating for new student nurses. I start ...

3. Give now orders

   happytoheal replied to emrrn915's topic in General Nursing

   In a life-threatening type of situation, my guess would be as soon as possible. Usually if a now order is important (at least where I work) the resident or doctor will verbally tell the nurse that the order is in. For me, if a now order is put in a...

   happytoheal replied to OBRN24/7's topic in Educators

   After much searching, South University is an online program that is very impresive up to this point. I decided to apply and look further into this program. If anyone has heard of the program, or has any experience, please share! Thanks!

   happytoheal posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi! I just finished a 3 month orientation at the hospital I'm currently at, and have had two official weeks off of orientation so far. Things seem to be going great. For some reason, our nurse/pt ratios have been amazing, and my days have ran very...

7. Test help- Those who did well

   happytoheal replied to FNPhopeful's topic in General Students

   Wow! I totally feel your emotions about tests in nursing school. I graduated in May of 2006, and school seemed like a constant up-hill battle for me. While most students in my class spent the semester keeping their heads above water, I was always ...

8. Online Nurse Educator Programs???

   happytoheal replied to OBRN24/7's topic in Educators

   I'm slowly learning how much research you need to put into looking at different msn programs to weigh out the pros and cons. My goal is to find an all-online nurse educator msn program. Some universities advertise an all online program, and then th...

9. Online Nurse Educator Programs???

   happytoheal replied to OBRN24/7's topic in Educators

   I'm currently looking into the University of Phoenix to obtain my master's as a nursing educator. While I put in a few years of experience in nursing, I would like to start some online classes. Because I am working full-time, an online course is pr...

10. Oh boy......I ticked off the charge nurse

    happytoheal replied to newish nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! As a student, you never know what situations will arise during a clinical day. Sorry that happened! Like others have said, I think it would be best to leave the situation alone. Although apologizing may make you feel better (for attempting...

11. Which hospital?

    happytoheal replied to Rocknurse's topic in Connecticut

    Thanks for all of the tips and advice on CT hospitals! I spent this past week (my Spring Break) interviewing and shadowing at both the Yale-New Haven hospital and St. Raphael's. It was a hard choice because both hospitals have so many positive aspe...

    Hey Carianne! Thank you so much for the reply! I wasn't sure if there were any CT nurses out there willing to give advice! :) I am graduating from school with my RN, BSN in May. Right after graduation I am headed your way. My husband and I are ...

13. Know hospitals that pay for school?

    happytoheal replied to jab3da's topic in Missouri

    I'm finishing up school at Research College of Nursing in Kansas City, MO. They have a traditional and accelerated option for nursing students. Both options have a pay-back system such as the one you are asking about. It's basically referred to as...

    Hi! I am moving to CT in May, and plan on working in or near the New Haven area. I have an interview set up in March for the Yale-New Haven hospital. I am interested in possibly working in Oncology or maybe in Transplant, but for right now, I am o...
