    TV ad has no one from my hospital

    JBudd replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Night Shift Dulls your brain

    JBudd replied to Emergent's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Would you feel uncomfortable with your coworkers caring for you?

    JBudd replied to richardgecko's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't have a lot of choice about where I go for hospitalized care, as we are the only hospital, and are self insured. But my ED friends go to great lengths for me, and on the floors, I have even...

    JBudd replied to sabrina17's topic in General Students

    Anyone teach nursing school clinicals on the side?

    JBudd replied to adpiRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I really enjoyed my students the few times I did it; but there is no flexibility. School schedules are set, and clinical time in hospitals is a precious commodity, many schools compete for time on...

    in order to teach, will any MSN specialty do?

    JBudd replied to msa9179's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    My MSN is in education, I looked at the different programs, most were for NP or admin. Frankly, the education courses were real eye openers; there is so much involved in curriculum development,...

    Knitting during class: ok or not?

    JBudd replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students
