  1. Are you a "Professor", or a "Mrs."?

    Goodoldnurse replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

  2. Got kicked out of an RN program don't know what to do

    Goodoldnurse replied to courageandcare's topic in General Students

    Goodoldnurse replied to courageandcare's topic in General Students

    Nursing Faculty here. Sorry could not help but to reply. If the College of Nursing requires a 75% to pass a course, you MUST achieve this!! Many times it is about the grade you earned and nothing...

  6. Advice needed! 2 yr CNL vs 3 yr CNS

    Goodoldnurse replied to msnapplicant's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

  7. Hesi Exit Test

    Goodoldnurse replied to CSLee3's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

  8. Accredited vs. Nonaccredited

    Goodoldnurse replied to Vanurselpntorn's topic in General Nursing

  10. Does your school separate didactic classes from clinical?

    Goodoldnurse replied to kdsrn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Goodoldnurse replied to courageandcare's topic in General Students

    Goodoldnurse replied to showbizrn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I sometimes will get a "thank you" but so many times they are so consumed with a final exam or the end of the semester that they are just relieved the clinical experience is over! I do clinicals,...

    Goodoldnurse replied to rierie's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I give my cell phone # to my students and they do not abuse it. I have unlimited texting since many live in that arena and I carry on full conversations with them. Sometimes they are just anxious and...

  16. New to teaching pharmacology

    Goodoldnurse replied to indagenes's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I teach an online pharmacology course. Most of my students at the moment are pre-nursing and some do very well. The students have questions to answer in each module that they must find in the book....

  17. Hesi Exit Test

    Goodoldnurse replied to CSLee3's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Goodoldnurse replied to bewell2's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

  21. OU nursing Acceptance

    Goodoldnurse replied to beth001's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Don't forget these are not the only programs. I would not recommend Platt (accreditation problems) but do look into the other programs around the city and surrounding area. If you wish to wait for one...

  22. OU nursing Acceptance

    Goodoldnurse replied to beth001's topic in Oklahoma Nursing
