I had to turn in a nurse who was my mentor, friend, and someone I had on a pedestal. She made my kids baby blankets, we would trade shifts and I caught her diverting morphine. Diverting from a patient who had acid burns on his face on hospice care in...

I am medical DPOA for my mother and she has dementia. She see's several physician's and I even though her signed official DPOA form is uploaded and I carry it with us, front desk people don't pass on information or give me access to her information. ...

Thinking of agency nursing and I have done this in the past, but working part time (very little) thinking of working more hours to keep up my skills. Do you think this would be harder or easier for nurses who are wanting more hours?

I'm finishing my PhD in nursing and I'm considering a DNP or FNP ( I have a MSN). Is it worth it as far as jobs available? I was thinking of more flexibility for job opportunities.

I would like to volunteer, but would like to work remotely? Is this possible and what kind of charities or services are out there?

Are there any jobs or charities that work on elderly toe nails? Is this through a podiatrist or physician referral? This seems like such a needed service!

Why choose nursing? Influence from a family member? You want to help people? Financial? What is drawing you to this field?

We have nursing camps every year, do you see an increase in enrollment to nursing programs as result of the camps?

After I passed comps for my PhD, several colleagues of mine told me I should then put PhDc after my name until I graduate. I asked my professors and they said it was seen as derogatory. I thought how odd the difference of opinion. Is there an etiquet...

Is a certification for med/surg required where you work or necessary? How does the certification benefit you?

That is very admirable! I think we all have some love and care in our heart that directs us to nursing, but sounds like you have so much to offer on a lot of levels!

Thank you, I did contact the PCP and she blamed Covid. We did have my mothers hearing checked and found she also is hearing less than 50% in one ear and nothing in the other, but her brain is not translating what she is hearing. So we now have new he...

Would you add your professor or instructor as a friend on social media after you graduate and why? Is there a benefit?

I am a nurse and my family does not take precautions. I have kept my parents safe and now since they see the state has lifted precautions for businesses they no longer take any precautions. I'm talking close to 20 family members. I have four children...

Lots of discussion about this topic if we should integrate Covid-19 education into nursing curriculum. We already cover pandemics as part of a small chapter. Lots of push back on this. What are your thoughts? I think it is our responsibility to our s...

WOW! that is amazing! I remember my first class in an ASN program my class all raised their hands they became a nurse to deliver babies. I find that very funny now and none of them went that route. It's interesting to see what we all are drawn too, I...

Years ago a Native American woman passed away and her uncle performed a right with smoke and an eagle feather (the hospital allowed this back then). This was like at 3 am in the morning and we were instructed to open all of the exit doors to the outs...

I am looking into nursing research and currently working on my own studies for my degree. I have noticed nurses making comments that research or even doctoral nursing opinions as not valid because they "haven't worked a floor in years". Is this a com...

I feel the same, they are then peers and colleagues, but I have noticed other faculty posting inappropriate things.

I played it safe and put doctoral candidate underneath my name and MSN, RN behind it for now. Other students have used PhDc, but some other professors say it means "almost" so should not be used, because a student could be at that status for a long t...

Yes I'm thinking BSN and ASN programs. It is covered but in a short chapter. I think it needs more attention especially due to the pandemic and to educate new nurses.

I got my MSN the nurse educator route in 2011, it has been a while but I thought it was worth it! The reason I chose the program is it was online and as cheap as my ASN program. I also had got my RN-BSN from UCMO and it benefited me to stay for my MS...

I agree 100%. I would bet nursing homes will see a downturn in admissions. No way would I put my loved one in a nursing home if they were cut off. I think we will see the ramifications of this later. I'm keeping my parents at home and managing their ...

My mother was recently admitted for a GI virus, acute dehydration and afib out of control. She has dementia but was able to answer questions so my father and I were told to wait outside and they took her for a week. The ED nurse called to give me upd...

Working on my PhD and considering taking the CNE ( my MSN is educator). My question is it worth it or desirable to obtain a CNE for faculty positions?
