2 questions: 1. Did you? 2. Do you?

I graduated from Walden MSN-Nursing Education 2007. Since then I have secured teaching positions in both ADN and BSN (2) colleges and universites, and online education. I have developed and presented a 6 ceu seminar, presented at a conference, co-aut...

Yikes, CBsMommy. You do need a chill-pill. Nrsg dx: Ineffective individual coping related to self-esteem issues as evidenced by poster verbalizes hostility and egocentricity when offered constructive criticism (you need to be able to tolerate this, ...

The OP most certainly has a "BS" N, lol!! My diagnosis: FOS

I seriously doubt that I would resort to assault regardless of what I was told. I wonder why it is that nurses would even question holding an individual accountable for criminal behavior. Think a cop would think twice? A layperson?

I think it was a put on to get everyone to respond. BS for sure! Have a nice day!!

LOL, I LOVE that reference "B 52"!! We learned it at our facility when we got a transfer from upstate. Anyway.....we follow the "BAHA" rule. Everything mixes with Ativan (actually helps to get it through the needle), but don't mix benadryl and Ativa...

It sounds like you may have missed the objectives of the psych clinical. Though it may sound biased coming from a psych clinical educator, there is so much to learn....but you do have to put yourself out to learn it! Firstly, you should not have a 4 ...

Good luck. Having my Master's has opened many doors for me. I have kept my full time position as a psych nurse (I will be able to retire in 6 years with 30 years completed!). I find that I have to turn down teaching positions. I currently have 3 scho...

Hi, I graduated April 2007, MSN-Nursing Education track. I developed a conference (in-service) program. I ultimately got it approved for 6.6 CEU's by the New York State Nurses Association. I did not have to actually give it, but, after I graduated I ...

I have been certified by the ANCC as a Psychiatric and Mental Health nurse since 1984 (2 years after graduation). Yup, that's 27 years! I would have done it even if the original test and subsequent renewals were not reimbursed. I do get a differentia...

New legislation being fought for in NY- "Healthy Workplace". Addresses bullying in the workplace. It's our responsibility to identify and fight for legal protection!

In New York State it is a felony to assault a nurse. Law effective 11/10!! We lobbied hard for this one, it's in your power to do the same in your own state!

Having some notification that you are a nurse can save you from traffic tickets.......not that I would know ANYTHING about something like that:nurse:

Increased risk for Dig toxicity ......I don't believe that is an approved NANDA impairment, is it?

"Good luck" is described as being prepared to seize an opportunity when it presents itself. Education is the key to professional success........I say absolutely get your BSN, then MSN....

I would not recommend asking about pay and expected raises during an initial interview. I do recommend asking about the population, duty expectations, alternative to restraints/seclusion and accessibility of doc/NP's and nursing supervisors. Also, in...

In New York it is illegal for anyone to identify themselves as a nurse unless they are a LPN, RN. If it is not in your state, get going on that legislation today!

I graduated from Walden in 2007, MSN education. I remain full time in the hospital (pay for a nurse educator is not good in comparison) and am a clinical instructor at a few colleges. One piece of advice....keep a copy of ALL of your work for your po...

Why was that topic suggested by the teacher? Are there difficulties with the establishment of healthy relationships for them? Do they currently have healthy relationships? You need this assessment data to determine the diagnosis (which you need befor...

I LOVE the nurse educator one! As a nurse educator, it makes me feel proud to recognize that I have touched so many lives through my teaching (students, their patients and the families).

What have your family and friends said?

There are scholarships, loans, etc available. Talk to your guidance counselor, research school loans online, and follow your dream into nursing.......

A BSN focuses on key areas of nursing theory and the use of evidenced-based data in nursing practice. The BSN student is exposed to more practice areas not as available to ADN students(typically community based), and the curriculum exposes the studen...

Many times the students in my psych clinicals ask this same question. I have been a RN for over 28 years full time and have been teaching since 2004. I think the problem with trying to describe the ideals are the "nurse-isms". It can be confusing to ...
