    Trying To Resign!!! Help!!!!!

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

    actually, every nursing job i ever had required four weeks notice for resignation. i assumed it was standard in the nursing field. despite that, they should have told you when you handed in your...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    i know there's some threads out there, but i am too lazy to search. what i really want to know is how to get $$$ as a nurse education major. i don't seem to qualify for anything i've seen....

    Med Errors

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to UM Review RN's topic in Patient Medications

    maybe that was part of his 'remediation'?? if not, maybe he felt the need to share his mistake with others, so as to not let it happen

    Pass-Fail Clinical Grades. Are educators lazy?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to 1Tulip's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    i would love to give my students an actual grade, but it's not up to me. as siri mentioned, our evaluations are very subjective. i found it very difficult to just pass and fail some students. some...

    Why Does It Seem That RN's Hate Us and Hospitals Don't Believe In Us??

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to brown eyed girl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    you know, either i'm going crazy (which is highly likely ), or this thread is!! i'm getting e-mails with replies that are not showing up (very nasty ones, i might add). are they being deleted by...

    Would like to know

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

    i have to agree with that. every instructor starts out in clinicals, then works their way into lecturing. lecturing wouldn't be too bad on the bones, but the trip there (up the ladder i mean) may...

    Waiting List for Clinicals

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to delete123's topic in General Students

    if that is the case (which it sounds like) that's not all she has to do... just a warning to the op- unless you took nursing theory, it's not just clinicals, as you put

    Why Does It Seem That RN's Hate Us and Hospitals Don't Believe In Us??

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to brown eyed girl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    if this is the case, then why do lpns need to go to at least 2, if not 3 semesters of the adn program to become an rn?? (this is the case where i teach, and from what i've heard elsewhere in my...

    Has anyone tried BOTH Danskos and Birkenstocks?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Indy's topic in General Nursing

    i prefer the danskos. had the birki's for a while- they weren't bad. i am very particular about shoes (have flat, wide feet), so i guess they were more than allright. then i started a job where i...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Lesli61's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    so you'll have an adn as an lpn after 3 years of pt study? and you'll now go for the rn? that's the attitude!! you're young at heart, and it

    Need advice badly.

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to clee1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    what do you do now?? as a emt and a military medic, you probably do not need the experience, although each of these things are different. it couldn't hurt, but will it help you that much? assuming...

    any concerns for older students?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Lesli61's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    well, at least where i teach, it is not structured like a traditional college. there is one class on each level. it is an integrated program- meaning everything is within one class- peds, maternity,...

    Need Resume Advice

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to seeking33's topic in Nursing Career

    i would consider two things- were you terminated (or asked to resign), and how long were you employed there? also, is this a nursing position, or a previous career? i had the unfortunate experience...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Lesli61's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Accelerated BSN programs in NYC

    Hoping and Rraying that my "New Life" as A Nursing Student Will Improve my Marriage.

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to grad2009's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    it's a little disturbing to hear such comments like "his demands..." and "he wants me to...". you need to do this for yourself, and your kids. do it because you want to do it, because if you're not...

    evaluating students in clinical

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

    The thing I found, for first semester students, that is very hard, is getting them into the patient room and having them actually take care of the patient. The initial patient contact was very...

    evaluating students in clinical

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

    while i do agree that they must (and they do) have criteria, my point was about the comments. our criteria is likely similar to yours. i do not have carte blanche in my evaluation process. and i...
