  2. Stressed as a nurse. Experience needed to be a Nurse Educator?

    londonflo replied to Jennifer George's topic in Nursing Career

    This is a real plus. This is a concern as wouldn't you be teaching students to provide direct patient care? You will need to be in the trenches with them. The nursing educator role is not...

    londonflo replied to Timothy Andrews's topic in General Students

  5. How am I going to manage?

    londonflo replied to Fawngirl21's topic in First Year After Licensure

  6. Nursing School Fail out

    londonflo replied to Timothy Andrews's topic in General Students

    Just asking all of these questions in a blunt but kind way.... what is your evidence? You haven't provided anything here except you had an "older" nursing instructor. Clinical passing is a...

  7. Old Timer's Take on Fixing the Nursing Shortage

    londonflo replied to KathyDay's topic in General Nursing

  11. School Not Allowing Us to Take NCLEX

    londonflo replied to JDS's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Surely, citing on the State Board of Nursing declaring this school is on probation is a warning. And the owners of such school will try to wring out any dollar they can before the school is closed or...

    londonflo replied to HapaNurse610's topic in School, College Programs

  15. Tips on getting through Nursing fundamentals

    londonflo replied to whitecoatandjordans's topic in General Students

    Using punctuation at the stop of a sentence, (as I have added in bold above), would help the reader. Let me just say, that basic writing skills are necessary for the professional nurse. Perhaps you...

  18. Failed out of RN program completely, what now?

    londonflo replied to Lynker's topic in Nursing Career

    I wanted to add onto this. When I was teaching, we had an LPN to RN student complete the program but after 4-5 tries not pass boards. I said to the director "may be we made a better LPN" but the...

  19. Old Timer's Take on Fixing the Nursing Shortage

    londonflo replied to KathyDay's topic in General Nursing

    Years ago, we did get a grant for free tuition for students. We ended up with a 50% completion rate. May be students need to have a little "skin in the game"? I don't know but the grant was not...

  22. Old Timer's Take on Fixing the Nursing Shortage

    londonflo replied to KathyDay's topic in General Nursing

  23. Old Timer's Take on Fixing the Nursing Shortage

    londonflo replied to KathyDay's topic in General Nursing

    I am assuming you never worked 8 hour shifts. How did we ever get along before 12 hour shifts came along??? Acute care did not collapse, rather it thrived. RN's did not say to a patient "I haven't...

  24. School Not Allowing Us to Take NCLEX

    londonflo replied to JDS's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The school is trying to prevent any one who will not pass NCLEX from taking it. Their $$$ (including your $52,000), survival, jobs are at stake. I am assuming this is a Florida school. aren't...
