    "Flipped Classrooms" for nursing internships

    nurse2033 replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I assume you are talking about professional education. I believe it is unethical to ask employees to "work at home" without pay. When I am home I have other responsibilities. Educators should appeal...

    A little anxiety applying for Nursing school as an older male

    nurse2033 replied to Magnicious's topic in Men in Nursing

    I just ignored any such issues and pressed on, including my age. I've had no problems. If you are still in the reserve, stay in and commision once you complete your RN degree. Ignore the naysayers....

    Military contract and awards

    nurse2033 replied to faunurse's topic in Government, Military

    I don't think you can really target awards. Sometimes you will get one just from doing what are supposed to, like deploying. For others you will be recognized for excellence. If you just maximize your...

    Considering Military Reserves but I'm a parent and husband

    nurse2033 replied to nursedaddy122's topic in Government, Military

    It has been awesome for me. You need a solid parenting plan, but being married that shouldn't be a problem. You will need the full and ongoing support of your spouse though. You would be able to join...

    "Recording lecture reinforces weakness."

    nurse2033 replied to neverbethesame's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    What I meant is that in field of nursing- you have a long time nurse and teacher, versus a student. I didn't mean that the student didn't know anything, just that the credibility resides with the...

    Pharmacology Teaching

    nurse2033 replied to ChristinaBananas's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Is this a HIPAA violation?

    nurse2033 replied to JTinKY's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Since fetal demise is a rare event, anyone who heard about it at work, or even possibly in the news, could probably connect her post to the patient. This would be a HIPPA violation. She should have...

    Starting an ER job with no orientation?

    nurse2033 replied to LostnNakedNursing's topic in Emergency

    "You'll learn as you go" is the lamest excuse you could hear from any manager or director. This tells you where the bar is set, low. I heard that exact statement once, and eventually left because I...

    Nursing through online teaching

    nurse2033 replied to flynnjackson's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty
