    ceecel.dee replied to GingerSue's topic in General Nursing

    How do you handle Physicians Bad Attitudes?

    ceecel.dee replied to scrubsnhugsRN's topic in General Nursing

    Erikson and the stage of integrity vs despair

    ceecel.dee replied to GingerSue's topic in General Nursing

    How can I say Thank-you to a professor?

    ceecel.dee replied to Laura77598's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Glad The Semester is Over?

    ceecel.dee replied to puggymae's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    OH....SO GLAD! The beauty of teaching is the built-in breaks. The year nicely broken up into chunks so you don't have to be "geared up" all year long and the energy levels can wax and wane. HAPPY...

    Med Error Question

    ceecel.dee replied to cnolan's topic in Patient Medications

    Punitive treatment for following policy on honestly reporting is sort of defeating the purpose of expecting reporting errors at all! You did exactly what you were supposed to do and showed flawless...

    Insulin question

    ceecel.dee replied to SNlena's topic in Patient Medications

    She didn't check your cohort's meds before he gave them?!? That is HER mistake, and while he should have caught it, it is ultimately HER mistake! This goes to what kind of a teacher she is, and is...

    Insulin question

    ceecel.dee replied to SNlena's topic in Patient Medications

    ceecel.dee replied to SNlena's topic in Patient Medications

    That instructor has some 'splaining to do, as far as I'm concerned. And I'd want the explaination in writing so that stories don't change. What would it cost you to have a lawyer write a letter to...

    ceecel.dee replied to llg's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    We must attend a "new employee" orientation, go through the same computer training the staff does, and complete CBO's for each floor we will have students on. These are the competency based skills...
