Our med surg units do mix COVID & non-COVID patients, however my unit (transplant) and the hematology/oncology unit are excluded from having COVID patients. If someone tests positive, they get transferred to another unit. I've floated to units wh...

Hi!
I've been clinical instructing for 5 years and it can really be a learning curve! Is this an advanced med surg type class? If they are about to hit preceptorship, they should be pretty solid in their assessment skills. I focus a lot on criti...

I don't necessarily think so! I wouldn't be a med/surg clinical instructor, but I think you could do lab. My lab co-instructor for the last year did not have an acute care background--she had a brief stint in ED as a new grad and then did school nurs...

Ah, no I do have an acute care background. I didn't see a place in the OP where a non-acute care background was mentioned. Just that the OP was looking for examples of jobs you could do with a MSN in Nursing Education.

I agree with those stating that you need to have worked in the area you're teaching/have a lot of exposure to it. I'm a "young" nursing professor at 33 years old with 11 years nursing experience, 4 years of formal nurse educator experience (many year...
That's such a tricky situation! It's so different in my area/in my experience. Most of the other clinical faculty I know are employed (or had recent previous employment) at the facility where they bring their clinical students. This is my case--in fa...
NurseKatie08 replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing
Agreed! Depending on your fields and experience level it is not at all realistic. I work part time as a bedside nurse and part time as adjunct faculty and am the breadwinner. My husband had 10 years of experience in one industry and it wasn't going a...

I'm a part time med/surg nurse (24 hour nights) and clinical instructor/part time faculty for an hybrid ABSN program. This semester I'm teaching med surg clinical, med surg didactic & fundamentals lab. I have about a nine hour per week in person ...
