    instructor is out to get me

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to utadahikaru's topic in General Students

    I know this post is 2 years old, but the topic at hand is timeless. With all due respect to you (and any student), I do not think it inappropriate for YOU to tell your instructor that you don't like...

    Do strict uniform policies convey professionalism and promote happiness in patients?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to victoriachojnacky's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm sure my opinion will not be that of the majority. Everywhere you go now, staff are wearing either a uniform or have to follow a dress code. For Example, I worked in a bank when I was in college....

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Klimpys's topic in General Students

    I agree with you 100%. But al I can say is, you have to grade them to believe it! If you have the formula wrong, even if the math is right, the answer is wrong. This is a common mistake. What I try...

    How important is a msn in education?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Mary C's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I can only speak for my state/area as far as obtaining a job. In NY (city and Long Island area), a masters in nursing is sufficient. More than half of my colleagues are NPs. As far as preparation, it...

    Question about giving report

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Crazed's topic in General Students

    I still have nightmares about some of the reports I gave during my floor days. When telling the nurse "pt is afebrile", then being asked "what do you mean, what was the temp" (yes, she knew the term)....

    I quit! :(

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Stoogesfan's topic in General Students

    I think it's a damn shame that we women do this to our young (no, not nurses, I mean mothers to daughters- or daughters in-law). Nothing is EVER good enough!! Fortunately, most of my undergrad years...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Klimpys's topic in General Students

    Many schools do claim to have a prerequisite; either a math class as part of the core requisites of the school/degree, or obtaining a competent score on the entrance exam. The problem is, oftentimes...

    needing advice about nursing school

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to cammienicurn's topic in General Students

    Hi, without really knowing you personally or academically, it's hard to formulate an opinion on what you should do. The previous poster made some very valid points; I know new grads who would take ANY...

    Obese children...my rant

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Gently.me's topic in Pediatric

    People know what to eat. They just choose not to. It's either too much work, or it doesn't taste good. It's not too expensive, it's just easier and quicker to take the unhealthy

    does anyone regret this career?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to cantdoit's topic in General Nursing

    I did regret it, about 1-2 years in. I was in a job I did not like, I didn't feel like I was getting anything out of it. I didn't feel like a 'real nurse' (because I was not working in the hospital)....

    So much for address taken into consideration

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    It seems that you have accosted your fate for this semester, which is good. It is what it is. If, moving forward, you are placed in a remote location, you could diplomatically remind your prof that...

    Instructor teaching style

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to PirateArrrNnnn's topic in General Students

    As a professor, this pretty much sounds like what my students have to do. It's called studying! This is the only way you will succeed in nursing school (unless you are a natural-born nurse and super...

    Online PhD Nursing Education

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to jl814's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Two of my colleagues graduated from Capella last year, and they loved it. They sing it's praises. They are friends of mine (people I actually like at work, and the students like them too). If it...

    You're Hired!: The New World Of Hiring Nurses??

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This is not just happening in nursing. It's happening with all customer service jobs. My hubby has had to complete endless personality tests like these online, as part of the job application. Pages...

    Student Clickers?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to arbor-vitae's topic in General Students

    You kids aren't into that kind of stuff anymore my students love them! We give NCLEX style questions, and it sparks some very good dialogue. The prof is there to answer questions about why the answer...

    Any special training for pediatric hem/onc nursing?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Whharper's topic in General Students

    Basically, you get a general education in your AS or BS program (there May be a few out there with a specific concentration, but there few and far between). School prepares you to be a generalist, and...

    Indiscriminate Empathy?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to tothepointeLVN's topic in General Nursing

    I think, for the most part, it depends on what you disagree on. We all know that politics and religion are big hot-topic issues (they say you should never talk about either one on a first date)....

    EHR/ Computerized Charting Systems for Students

    ReinventingMyselfAgain posted a topic in General Students

    Hi all, I am interested to hear about students' experiences with Educational EHR systems. I swear, it's not for official research, but I am looking to hear students' (or graduates/RNs) perspectives...

    EHR/ Computerized Charting Systems for Students

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in General Students

    Oh, and the other thing is: at my clinical site, they do not allow students to chart. I can chart, it would be under my username, but the only thing we enter are meds given (and maybe I&O, and...

    EHR/ Computerized Charting Systems for Students

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in General Students

    They do exist, hence the reason for the questioning. My school has used it for 3 semesters now. And there are other ones out there, at least 4-5 that I know of. Your first statement is true,...

    Worried About Accreditation

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to afterseason's topic in General Students

    As an educator who has taught in an accredited and a non-accredited school, I give you my humble opinion: if you ahve a choice, go to an accredited school. That seems like a dumb statement, but I...

    There's nothing worse than a FAT nurse!

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Darkstar1485's topic in General Students

    this is, imo, one of the biggest issues we face today. in my local news, there is a bif uproar because my mayor wants to put a ban on 'supersized' beverages (7-11 is the best example of this issue)....

    Not satisfied with Kaplan

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to whichone'spink's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    don't believe Kaplan has ever marketed themselves as a content-review prep course. Almost every graduate I kept in touch with, who took kaplan, had wonderful things to say about it. And I do believe...
