  1. "Nurses Are So Mean"

    JaneyW replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I loved your post, Ruby. May I be a bit positive? If you have had consistently positive experiences at jobs, schools and in your personal life, it is probably also you. So, give yourself a pat on...

  2. PhD vs. DNP

    JaneyW replied to Moogie's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    The DNP program I am looking at is at Western Health Sciences in Pomona, CA. Being the teacher that I am, I want to ask you to try to answer your own question about where to find the expected...

  3. PhD vs. DNP

    JaneyW replied to Moogie's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    This is a timely thread for me as I am thinking about my options in this area. I have an MSN in nursing education and am teaching full time in a tenure-track position at a community college in CA....

  4. How to prepare for an interview for a tenure track nursing educator position?

    JaneyW replied to vonsteve's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I interviewed at the community college level so it may be different. First I had 30 minutes to write a response to a prompt. The prompt had to do with helping a student who is failing clinically....

  5. How frequently do you do physical assessments in psych?

    JaneyW replied to beachgirl17's topic in Psychiatric

    You may want to look at your nurse practice act for your state. In CA, nurses are required to assess (no specifics as far as how thorough) each of their patients at least once every shift. Results...

  6. The Risks of Not Breastfeeding for Mothers and Infants

    JaneyW replied to Marymoomoo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You are right on, klone. I once had a doc tell me that he doesn't have enough time for education for what he is getting paid per patient. That is just sad. It is so much better when patients come...

  7. The Risks of Not Breastfeeding for Mothers and Infants

    JaneyW replied to Marymoomoo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    A good friend of mine breastfed three kids over a year each. She had breast cancer by 40, one of her kids was a Type 1 diabetic at 18 months and another has asthma. It may stack the odds in your...

  8. How do you teach prioritization?

    JaneyW replied to dabearrn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Well, Noreen, I'm a list maker. I also keep a calendar that I refer to often. I like to look at months as a whole so I have a 'big picture' of what I need to do short and long term. If I have a...

  9. How do you teach prioritization?

    JaneyW replied to dabearrn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    We use Maslow at our school. I do that lecture and I think it really helps the students understand their patient's needs. I hope this

  10. Post Conference

    JaneyW replied to suni's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I try to let my students do a lot of the post-conference talking. They need some time to vent and share their experiences-good, bad, or otherwise. They help each other with brainstorming for care...

  11. Could this diagnosis work?

    JaneyW replied to knittingmonster's topic in General Students

    If she already has cellulitis, then she is no longer at risk for and actually has an

  12. Thank You. For Everything.

    JaneyW replied to EmrgncyRN05's topic in School

    You are welcome. Your mom has done a remarkable job. I'm sure you will have a bright

  13. Curious about PP Methergine use

    JaneyW posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am currently working registry and get around to a lot of different hospitals. This keeps me on my toes. I am mainly an L&D nurse, but also do PP. I missed a med yesterday on a PP pt. I feel...

  14. BSN or training certifications? More competitive/competent in L&D?

    JaneyW replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am like you in that I had another BA degree before becoming a nurse. That did not impede me from getting my MSN and public health nurse certification. I do not have a BSN. I am now teaching as...

  15. Question for all Nurse Educators

    JaneyW replied to TakingCareOfBabies's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, that's why I put depending on the program. I have an MSN with an education concentration. That also gave me a year of student teaching in a nursing program which I'm sure is different from a...

  16. Question for all Nurse Educators

    JaneyW replied to TakingCareOfBabies's topic in General Nursing

    If you have the time and resources to get it now, Neonurse , go for it. The MSN has only a couple of courses (depending on the program) that are clinically focused. They will only help you with your...

  17. Question for all Nurse Educators

    JaneyW replied to TakingCareOfBabies's topic in General Nursing

    I went into education because I love to teach. It was my favorite part of being a nurse and I love teaching nursing students. I was lucky enough to get a full-time position that includes lecture,...

  18. How do I get hired into OB?? Please Help!!

    JaneyW replied to MarcyRN3385's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Join AWHONN. Get ACLS, NRP and a basic fetal monitoring certificate. Maybe even take other classes like breastfeeding. This will show that you are dedicated. These are all things you will need...

  19. unbelievable... in today's world

    JaneyW replied to ilmbg's topic in General Nursing

    I am definitely a glove wearer and teach my students the same. The problem I am seeing is that the 'clean' gloves that are in the patients' rooms aren't always really clean. They get stationed by...

  20. MSN without BSN?

    JaneyW replied to mekia_sb's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    CSU Dominguez Hills on-line program. Available to people outside of CA as

  21. Is 2 years in ICU enough to teach med surge? I want to work in pediatrics.

    JaneyW replied to caitiecait's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Finish your two years, go ahead with the MSN and switch over to NICU or PICU if you want. Your peds experience may be what gets you the job over the med/surg experience. It is often difficult to get...

  22. Pelvic Rest Teaching Material

    JaneyW replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds pretty close to what I say--nothing in the lady parts. Your facility should come up with something--maybe you could write it! It is usually just a line or two in postpartum discharge...

  23. Online MSN programs for RN's with a BS in another field

    JaneyW replied to Go Green Girl Jr.'s topic in Post Graduate Students

    You can always PM me if you have specific questions I can address, but you can do your own research about the program (good practice for grad school!). Go to CSUDH.edu and find the nursing program...

  24. Online MSN programs for RN's with a BS in another field

    JaneyW replied to Go Green Girl Jr.'s topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think it ended up being almost 40 units. It took me 3 1/2 years. The reason for all of the units is that a lot of the MSN courses require the prereq BSN courses (ex. pathophysiology before...

  25. How long does a Cesarean section last?

    JaneyW replied to rn4ever?'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh, I meant to ask the OP to tell us about third-world c-sections. I am
