I realized that most of the students in my nursing program (where I teach) are not taking nclex prep courses. They have heard bad things about Kaplan (mostly that it's not so much teaching, but just repeating stuff that's already in the books). I am...

Hi everyone: I'm going to post on the educator threads too, but I know that someone had posted a link to a site that had legit nursing writing positions. I had looked up several that I liked. They ranged from writing for blogs and magazines to writi...

I know it's been discussed before, both in this section and the entrepreneur section, but I haven't seen any discussion in months. Our school used to have the state student nursing association come at the end of each term and have someone offer NCLEX...

My project for this week of school is to research CEU courses and the development of them. I thought I'd be able to search my school library and find some specific guidelines and tips, but I'm not finding anything! Anyone writing CEU courses? Any tip...

Oh, I was also going to suggest that maybe they can find some kind of internship, whether formal or informal where they can be putting some of this information into practice. I know some of my students have improved DRASTICALLY when they work somewhe...

That's a tough one...it sounds like you have already gone above and beyond what other instructors would do...I would explain the situation in detail to the students and explain how much you're putting into it, and how you expect them to do the same a...

University of Phoenix...MSN/nurse educator. I had hoped to finish this spring, but had to take a few breaks due to family illness issues, which is one of the big benefits to UOP. Ideally, I would continue teaching 2 days per week as an adjunct, whic...

Thanks!I only have 4 more courses to go before I'm done:yeah:

I'm interested in this too. I already teach clinicals 2 days per week plus teach in the lab in an ADN program. I teach ob/postpartum right now, but have taught med/surg, GI before. I would love to teach online, but so far all the programs I've contac...

Are you going to be teaching the courses? And writing them? I have been looking into writing the courses and as part of my masters program I am developing a CEU course on genetic diseases in the Amish population, so I've done quite a bit of research ...

In my area, PA, you can work as an adjunct clinical instructor with just a masters, but it's difficult to get a full time position without a doctorate. Once you've worked as an adjunct for a few years, you can get hired by the community colleges some...

How do you get started in doing private case management? The only case managers I've worked with are ones who are paid by the insurance companies or hospitals/facilities? What are some companies that are hiring case managers? I think this is a growin...

I am looking for examples of different kinds of assignment sheets for postpartum.I teach RN students and need to get them better organized. I know most of the hospitals now have some kind of assignment sheets for their nurses. When I worked the floor...

In my area (central PA) we always have adjunct facult positions for several colleges, both community and other. I have to think it's your area. There are at least 3 full time positions in my area, and probably 6-7 in another hours drive. You might ne...

In my area, clinical instructors make about 30/hour, although it is salary based. Since most work only 2-3 days per week, and have extra hours involved such as grading papers, it probably comes to about 25/hour. We are hired and have a contract one ...

In my research, it looks like if I want to receive approval for a CEU course, I need to be part of an approved or accredited agency/company. Is that true? I sent an email to try to get clarification, but I am doing this as a student right now and wo...

I have been posting on here and looking for ideas for my masters project. I am looking at the idea of designing a business plan for an independent nursing agency for home care which would specifically be only one or two nurses. I know others have d...

I am currently working on my masters in nursing education. I really wanted to get my family nurse practitioner degree, but I have a time frame to get my masters and still teach in my nursing (ADN) program, so I went with Phoenix to get the MSN since ...

I think the previous poster has a great point about watching out for some of the companies that are springing up and aren't sincere in their efforts. Having said that, I think that if more insurance companies and other facilities were to pay for mor...

That is a problem, if we give it in the hospital with the fevers, but when we rush them out the door, what to do when they get a fever? If they are taking ibuprofen, like many are and still get a low grade and call dr., then it puts the dr. (or in my...

NO,you're missing the point..these women do sometimes have infection, however, the s/s are the same as the vaccines, so the women read the s/s, think that's the problem and don't call or come in...when it finally gets bad and they do come in, it's so...

HI, I have wanted to go to Frontier for years. I was disappointed that my college GPA was too low (2.68). When i transferred to my bachelors degree for nursing, I graduated with a 3.73 and was inducted into sigma theta tau, so I didn't realize it wo...

Pro vaccine isn't the issue I'm talking about. I'm talking about common sense vaccinations. The question to ask is not "can this save 30 babies lives per year?", but rather "can this kill more than 30 mothers per year?" or "how many infections will ...

I'll look through my note from one of my grad classes. We talked about delegation, teamwork and communicaton issues. One of the things we discussed is that having a meeting to talk about it doesn't always work. There's always those that are too shy...
