    Teaching distance learning

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

    Thanks llg! I sent you a PM :) It seems that the structure/organization of faculty responsibilities is quite different in the online

    Some things never change

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Windchaser22's topic in School

    Bad mom here: last year my daughter was carrying around an expired inhaler, needed it, used it, didn't get (enough) relief, one to the nurse, and I got reamed by the nurse! She is in HS, has orders...

    Poop and the dirty side of nursing?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to dariannarnold's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Every ICU nurse I know cleans their own patient. They provide total care for their patients, much more so than floor nurses. So yeah, poop definitely depends on the specialty you're

    MSN Nursing Ed with no clinicals?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ViolettaCCU's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I concur with HouTx. And just to clarify, 'clinicals' are not really clinicals in an Ed program. If you want to focus on academia, you would be student-teaching, which would likely include following a...

    Teaching distance learning

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

    Thank you for your reply. Looking at the website now, at the variety of positions that exist. Interesting; very different. Would you say the pay is comparable to an academic setting (or more or

    Unconventional hair colors

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ScientistSalarian's topic in General Nursing

    And this is why some old people can't stand young

    New grad, do not feel challenged at all. Help?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to RNinCali15's topic in First Year After Licensure

    thank you for your response. This is what I was thinking (I have a good friend, happens to be a nurse- a good one at that, who takes very good care of herself, and had 2 out of 3 NICU babies). I...

    New grad, do not feel challenged at all. Help?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to RNinCali15's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Someone please fill me on on this. I'm either really tired, or just a clueless, non-NICU nurse

    Advice for a new peds nurse? :)

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to stmnurse01's topic in Pediatric

    Pick your battles, when it comes to parents and patients. You need to understand that most everything will be a battle for them, due to their level of stress. Even if you are not in a critical care...

    Unconventional hair colors

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ScientistSalarian's topic in General Nursing

    I grew up in a household where hair was a big focus; I was constantly told that if my hair "just hung there" (meaning, no style, layers, or blown out- think 80s hair) or was in a ponytail that it...

    Unconventional hair colors

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ScientistSalarian's topic in General Nursing

    Also, what looks 'natural' on one person may not look natural on another. I have a color that looks fairly natural on my pasty-white skin. A student in my program had a similar color (a bit brighter)...

    Clinical Educator Interviews....No Success

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to nursejcarrie's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I realize this is a few months old, but just wondering if you'd had any luck in finding a job. I had a few questions: what does your resume look like (besides your new MSN)? Have you done anything...

    Fired for going to college

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Mari1982's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think so. If you can manage to find another part time job (where the boss will be understanding of your goals) then you will not even need to mention what happened at this job in the future....

    Hello, and congrats on your acceptance to the nursing program! It sounds like life is going to change for everyone in your household. Even if your kids were already in traditional school, there would...

    Students Cheating

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Conniemdaily's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    While it seems you have put a lot of effort into studying, and exposing yourself to as many different questions as you can, you're still cheating, in a sense. You don't know which of the bank...

    Students Cheating

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Conniemdaily's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    This is what we do (sort of). We adapt questions we find in banks and public sites. We create brand new questions from scratch as well. The result is often confusion and anger from the students. The...

    Nursing students and their bad behaviors >:(

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Students

    The problem is, it needs to come from ALL faculty, and the higher ups. I teach in the second level class, and I find it hard to believe that all of a sudden, students think they have a golden ticket...

    Struggling with an unmotivated clinical group

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to nursemeanie's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    This. Not every student is whiny and unmotivated. But many of them are. They want to be nurses, but want to do as little as possible in clinical to accomplish the requirements, or they only want to do...

    Why do some nurses "hate their jobs"?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to iculvr's topic in General Nursing

    I hate my job because it consumes my life. The expectations are unreal. If I don't take my work home, it won't get done. I do have hobbies and a family, that I feel like I neglect way too much because...

    Students Cheating

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Conniemdaily's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    First, I will agree with you on the first part of your post: it is getting more and more difficult to teach to a less prepared and less motivated group of students. I was a 'young' 18 year old nursing...

    Struggling with an unmotivated clinical group

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to nursemeanie's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I feel like over the last couple of semesters, I have encountered more students like this. I also feel like they are 'getting by' in the previous class, because I can't imagine that they suddenly...

    want to make the transition from hospital to school nurse

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to garcherry725's topic in School

    Hi, I'm casually looking into school nursing as well. it's something I always wanted to do (and I've been a camp nurse for many years now). I started by looking on one of the more common job sites...

    Prejudice Teacher

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Valsabatini's topic in General Students

    As a professor, I try to remind myself to keep my opinions to myself when I'm 'on the stage', but sometimes certain things come out. For example, when I teach GI, it's very difficult to avoid...

    Not enjoying clinical

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to loveflowers's topic in General Students

    I am assuming this is your first semester in clinical? If so, I want you to think about how much you are really capable of doing at this point. You need to crawl before you can walk, let alone run....

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Prettybirdy's topic in General Students

    OP, if you're still looking for advice, I would like to add to those who are suggesting that you find another route. I am in my schools admissions committee, and I teach in the program. Your...
