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

    I should have read your post before my first clinical day. Oh well, too late now :chuckle. If I may hijack this thread, I would like to know generally speaking, what you guys expect from first...

    adn program instructor interview

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

    Well, in school (my grad school that is), our professors tell us will will most likely be asked what our Phiosophy is. I hate that question. I guess that's when you're supposed to quote Martha...

    HIPAA help!!!

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks guys. I kind of figured my text was outdated (as HIPAA was enacted in 1996). I just logged on to read your responses- my presentation is in 3 hrs. For some reason I didn't get the automatied...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain posted a topic in General Nursing

    so i'm searching high and low, and i can't seem to find evidence to support this (or to even validate it). i'm doing a presentation on hipaa, privacy and the like. in my text, there is a quote (which...

    Question of the Month: Nursing Faculty Working Part-time in Clinical Settings?

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

    i'm not sure i agree with that. it depends on the teacher, the situation and what they are teaching. i have just begun teaching at the very school i graduated from, and some of the professors who...

    Adult ICU --> camp nurse?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to apaisRN's topic in Camp

    I was at a girl scout camp too. Only for a week. Absolutely boring compared to last year- a lot less volume, and a lot less kids on routine meds. There were about 50 fewer girls this year, and not...

    Adult ICU --> camp nurse?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to apaisRN's topic in Camp

    ReinventingMyselfAgain posted a topic in General Nursing

    Is 3rd shift all there is for new nurses?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Wannabe2's topic in Nursing Career

    Good point. Some actually prefer night shift. It's a different pace, (not always easier, but different). If you can stomach staying awake, it's not terrible. I just couldn't stomach it anymore...

    Thought I understood critical thinking.

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to rn2b1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What kind of hospital experience do you have?? That may be part of the problem, you might be thinking like a (fill in the blank) and not a nurse. In my experiences, everyone else in the hospital...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Wannabe2's topic in Nursing Career

    Unfortunately, in my experience, seniorty is the key to a day positon. but don't fret, as it is not impossible. Where I work, nobody on nights is interested in going to days. It depends on the...

    Should I just move on?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to pie123's topic in General Nursing

    pie, i don't blame you for being frustrated. i am not new to nursing, yet i still cannot get used to the incompetence and lack of communication that goes on. i find it very disrespectful to keep...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to syin's topic in New York Nursing

    RN work schedules, I'm confused

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to strenght1981's topic in New York Nursing

    Essentially, you will have a set weekend- and the rest of your schedule will revolve around your set weekend. It's usually Saturday and Sunday, but some places consider night shift to be friday and...

    Need advice and reassurance on a bad situation.

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to midnightRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    What other resources do you have- a charge nurse, house supervisor, educator? Any of these people could have given you more advice, or convinced you to take it further. Are we talking about residents...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to 1Tulip's topic in Nurse Management

    One of my hospitals had Magnet for 4 yrs, then lost it (after attempting to recert for it). I managed to not be around during the process. Based on the way my unit functions (IMHO), I can see why we...
