    When You Realize You Are Replaceable

    Megan1977 replied to Guest1189140's topic in Nursing Career

    No sympathy for you from me. Get vaccinated or find another place to nurse that will accept your pseudoscience research regarding Covid vaccinations. Choices have consequences- suck it up

    Megan1977 replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

    What Is Wrong with These Students?

    Megan1977 replied to PamtheNurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I also use enthusiasm, metaphors, stories and memes and I generally feel as if my students are engaged. I also use humor which helps to keep everyone in a good mood during lectures. Of course there...

    Professor working as a staff nurse on the side

    Megan1977 replied to PediatricRNTX's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I have always had a “side gig” on the weekend (I teach on- ground Mon through Friday). Being in the clinical area keeps me engaged and definitely allows me to be more authentic with my students...
