    Jobless Adn~ Rn?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Bklyngurl's topic in New York Nursing

    My students have told me that the NY employers are becoming a bit more selective with this. Perhaps because of the scenario mentioned by billy. Makes perfect

    Educators, do you recommend allnurses.com to your students?

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

    Only to some students. The reality is, I have been a member since before I was teaching, and I write a lot of stuff on here about myself. Since I started teaching, I know that some of my students...

    Can you sue your instructor?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Phillygryl's topic in General Students

    Of course, you missed the point about the students who have put MY license in jeopardy in that time. Reread my reply, as I have added to it, and see if you can't see it from another perspective. All...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Phillygryl's topic in General Students

    sweetie, i have no reason to defend my stance as an educator here. you know nothing about me and how i teach. i love my job and take it very seriously. it was a legitimate question.... or maybe, as...

    Let me correct that then... they are not trained to think like Registered Nurses. Seriously, I mean no offense to

    Can you sue your instructor?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Phillygryl's topic in General Students

    I find this thread very fascinating. I know it is old (It came up on the bottom of my page as a related thread), and I'd be very curious to know what has transpired since the OP's original post....

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to phoenixfire's topic in General Students

    I did not read most of the replies, so excuse me if I am reiterating what has been said already. All healthcare workers have experience in their field. LPNs, CNAs, EMTs, CNAs, Unit clerks, and so...

    I Ran Out Of Time On Nclex

    What is your year-round job?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Camp

    I started doing the camp thing when I was married, working per-diem (but the equivelant of a full time schedule... did it for the flexibility), so I was able to take the time 'off'. Now I am...

    OMG, this is a huge problem. They look at me like I have three heads when I do not give them the answer, but make them think it

    Post clincal conference topic ideas

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to vickie0117's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    No. If the students are in the hospital, it is most likely a teaching hospital (not always, I know), and this is what you have to deal with. I'm sure a nurse can refuse (or strongly request) that a...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to psalm51's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    :uhoh21: Wow, you really have your hands full. A few questions (sorry my q-mark key doesn't work!!) Is this what the school expects of their second semester students! Were you told you needed to...

    Who makes your assignments?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to NurseCherlove's topic in General Nursing

    That HAS to be the most painful experience ever!! I have worked in places where they did that (on other units, and when floated had to deal with that), and not to be rude, but I really didn't have...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to vickie0117's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    You are sooo on point here, it's not funny. The drug thing is one of my pet peeves. I teach second semester clinicals, where they have not had the didactic component of HTN or pharmacology. So...

    Jobless Adn~ Rn?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Bklyngurl's topic in New York Nursing

    It really is a shame that hospitals are being so selective based on the nursing degree. I am an original ADNer, and now teach in an ADN program. I have also taught in a BSN program, and on the...

    Clinical instructors- low census, what can I do?

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

    Ohhhh, I've been there and done that, and it stinks. I feel sooo bad when I cannot give the students the opportunities they need. I think your ideas are great. And since you work there, you are...

    Question for nurse educators

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to rkrs6673's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    It is not unheard of. But to be honest, you'll need more of a variety than just school nursing. The step down will give you that. If I were you, I wouldn't cut myself off from hospital nursing...

    50 out of 100 Nursing students failed program

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    Try telling that to the students who have failed out 'by only one point', and all that. It's easier said than done. There is so much I want to respond to over the past 7 pages, but it would be nearly...

    failed clinicals dismissed from RN program

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to beverlydianne's topic in General Students

    I don't live anywhere near you, but I'm thinking most schools think alike, and IMO, the likelihood of you getting into another program looks rather slim. If you want to transfer any of your credits,...

    How to write a reference letter for student?

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

    I figured they could read between the lines. Fortunately, I have not been asked to write a letter for someone who was that bad of a student (yet). But I have been asked to write letters for summer...

    real world job description

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to joy09's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I assume wherever it is you live, you can find a job in a school or university setting. Many schools like to start you off as adjunct first, which I think is a great idea. because you get an idea of...
