I am writing a course for safe med administration in an intermediate sanction facility in Texas. In this facility the residents come to the med room and take their meds. They are handed to them by the staff. They are required to take a safe med adm...

I agree. I wear multi focal contacts also. Same story as brillohead above. 56 now - still wearing them and love it

I have low normal TSH levels also and exhibit pretty much all the s/s of hypothyroidism. Fortunately I found a dr who treats me based on symptoms and not numbers!

I am saddened by this. I have been a member for many years and AN has helped me through many decisions and career questions. I teach nursing and always tell my students about AN. My prayers are with everyone- Brian's family and the AN family. Thank ...

Me too! Long Beach 1994! I think I burned my study guide too!! That was a very difficult weekend..,

I did Excelsior (Regents) in 1992. We all knew about the big CPNE at the end. I got the study guide snail mailed to me when it was time. I basically memorized the thing! Had to go to California for my weekend - there weren't any sites in Texas then-...

I am looking into this school. How do you like it? Is it difficult? I teach full time- can it managed with working full time?

Meanmaryjean: Touro university. I have not heard of it. It sounds interesting and sounds like something I could do. Have you actually started your class yet?

Good luck with EC! I graduated from there in 1994 when it was still Regents College. Stick with it and study for that CPNE!!! Use whatever tools you can to study. When I went there was no real prep for it. .. You can do it!

We are thinking about changing our student uniforms - especially shoes. We have required white shoes for as long as I remember. It is getting very difficult to find solid white tennis shoes around here. We are also thinking about changing from a maro...

May I show these in my class for my nursing students???

Sorry you are having instructors like that. It's not right. I do not read from power points - I use them as a guide. I also use interactive techniques. I don't want to hear myself talk for two hours- I know my students don't! I try to make it fun an...

Good luck! It's the most rewarding and frustrating career ever! But I can't imagine doing anything else!!

Well I went to Walden - I was not denied by other schools as you suggested. I chose them. It worked with my full time teaching schedule. Now here is the difference. You are discussing an NP track- I did the MSN with specialization in nursing ed track...

I don't usually tell anyone. I want to see how I am treated first. Unfortunately my hubby or family always outs me. I usually just laugh it off and say it's not my area of expertise so I defer. It usually works out just fine I am a nursing profess...

Consider this catching hell for your comments about Walden. FYI I was accepted to many school and CHOSE Walden. You don't go there to pass boards- you already had to have a minimum of an Associates degree and be a RN. I did their MSN with a specializ...

I did mine through walden. The practicum was not bad. They guide you through. You find a local preceptor - they will talk to the preceptor via phone- and you decide what you are going to do. Teach a class, etc. I created an online orientation for new...

Lol! That is funny nurse2003!

Have you considered ATI virtual coach? I think it's about 275 but the find your weak areas and develop a specific remediation plan just for you. They give u one on one coaching and will tell you when they think u are ready to pass your boards. It's j...

Wow... I need to move to Ca. We don't get paid near that much here in South Texas....

Right now ours are white tops with maroon pants and white shoes. I dislike the white shoes personally but it's not that big of a deal. I was just wondering what the general consensus was from other schools

I showed the movie a beautiful mind and we did nursing diagnosis and pathos. The for another day I showed clips from what about bob- it was fun and they learned. For my class on death and dying I showed you don't know jack- about dr death jack kevork...

Do any of your nursing programs still require students to go to clinical the day before to pick up their assignments - to gather patient data? With decreasing length of stays it seems we make assignment only to have the pt discharged before clinical...

CCRN I had a hard time letting go at first too. The first 2 years I taught full time I still work part time at the bedside too. I just felt stretched too thin. As my teaching career progressed, I had to give a certain percentage of my time to commun...

I have been teaching for 8 plus years. I do not work in the hospital as my full time teaching gig keeps me pretty busy. I think that I stay up to date. I do not think you have to work at the bedside to keep your skills up. I also get in and help my ...
