  1. what do you do if your teacher crosses the line

    AOx1 replied to amybear's topic in General Students

    I would not record anything without a thorough understanding of your state's laws regarding recording without both parties'

  2. Nursing School/Tattoo Vent

    AOx1 replied to LikesToWander's topic in General Students

    You could sell any books you don't need at your new school to the incoming class at your old school (next term). Keep looking for schools. Our clinical sites all have a "no visible tattoos" policy but...

  3. what do you do if your teacher crosses the line

    AOx1 replied to amybear's topic in General Students

    Ask your classmates to document what she said. I would see if your school has an obmudsman as you have already spoken to the department head without appropriate results. If your complaint is not...

  4. do your teachers make u sign in for class?

    AOx1 replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

    I would never ask my students to do this. They are adults. If they want to come to class, great. If not, that's their issue. Those who miss class regularly often don't pass. I would rather spend my...

  5. Irritating Classmates

    AOx1 replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    Part of this is a classroom management issue. As an instructor, I insist that class time not be dominated by any one person. Those who feel the need to share every anecdote, fleeting thought, and...

  6. RN Supervisor tips please.

    AOx1 replied to NocturneNrse's topic in General Nursing

    First, you need to clarify the expectations of you and your job description. Communicate with those above you and be an advocate for those you supervise. Pitch in to help when possible, but realize...

  7. English as a second language Nurse, How did you guys overcome fear of bad grammar?

    AOx1 replied to Datu's topic in General Nursing

    Most importantly, have a sense of humor. Most of us have made funny charting errors, including native speakers, and it is certainly more likely when adapting to a new language. If in doubt, google...

  8. Encouraging students

    AOx1 posted a topic in General Students

    Students- need your help and input, please. A bit of background- I am a nursing instructor and have been for years. I love teaching the next generation of nurses. It is a strange mix of wonderful,...

  9. Infant Circumcision in Nursing school

    AOx1 replied to AmberLB's topic in General Students

    If there is a chance to stop by your new instructor's office during office hours, that would be my recommendation. Although you are communicating very eloquently here, in my opinion an in-person...

  10. Okay, This Semester WILL be Better, Letter of Weakness or No!

    AOx1 replied to chapstickaddict's topic in General Students

    As an instructor, I make my own assessment of a student's performance. Students may perform poorly in one area, only to excel in another. Your new commitment to learn and to improve as well as less...

  11. Infant Circumcision in Nursing school

    AOx1 replied to AmberLB's topic in General Students

    The best advice I can give you as a nursing instructor is to discuss this IN ADVANCE with your instructor. I would offer few details unless asked (ex- just state that if possible, you would prefer not...

  12. worst death you've seen

    AOx1 replied to Darkfield's topic in General Nursing

    The death of a young child who choked at school at lunch and died. No one knew Heimlich or CPR. It had been well over half an hour when he came to the ER. I spent one week numb, and cried on and off...

  13. Older nurses taking forever to computer chart

    AOx1 replied to Giga's topic in General Nursing

    What shocks me about your posts is the attitude. It appears you believe that your way is the best and only way. All this wisdom and expertise developed over so many years.....Oh, wait, I meant NINE...

  14. Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

    AOx1 replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    I am not trying to "mandate" anything, or that students learn in only one given way. I try to balance many diverse styles, as my students are diverse. I came here to try to answer, from a faculty...

  15. Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

    AOx1 replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    Why would you assume that I'm not the one speaking? I am the one who guides and moderates any discussions. And as I mentioned, the huge majority of my students give this format extremely high...

  16. Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

    AOx1 replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    I wish more students felt this way! I sum up the most important points, explain the difficult concepts with a skit or comparison, then we jump into application (ex- watch a video and assess the...

  17. Help. Is my outrage justified?

    AOx1 replied to fairandbalanced's topic in General Students

    Mmmmm! That sort of pumpkin sounds

  18. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    AOx1 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    For me it's there, they're, and their used interchangeably and bizarre use of apostrophes. Example: I spoke to Jane and John and there going to the mall to buy there wedding ring's....

  19. Student caught stealing....

    AOx1 replied to RaggedyRN's topic in General Nursing

    No, it ISN'T $20. The op clearly stated it was $20, followed by $94. That is a total of $114. Not exactly chump change for most. If $114 is not worth getting upset over, send it my way. I can put it...

  20. Student caught stealing....

    AOx1 replied to RaggedyRN's topic in General Nursing

    This person is not likely to change. She showed no remorse at stealing, gave no reason, and accused someone else falsely. She made no plans to pay you back. It isn't enough punishment to be out of...

  21. Student caught stealing....

    AOx1 replied to RaggedyRN's topic in General Nursing

    This student is horrible and needs to never become a nurse. The student saw nothing wrong with breaking the trust of someone trying to help her learn and nothing wrong with stealing time meant to be...

  22. *Vent* RN's make toast?!?!?!

    AOx1 replied to WickedRedRN's topic in General Nursing

    You know, after careful consideration of the issue, I have changed my mind. I now realize that I will indeed make the toast, but I do want a tip equal to 15-20% of the total hospital bill to...

  23. To my students, happy holidays

    AOx1 posted a topic in General Students

    Dear nursing students, it is with mixed emotions that I prepare to watch you walk across the stage to graduate. With sadness, I know that my role in your learning is over. With joy I watch you begin...

  24. Process recording- Please NEED HELP!!

    AOx1 replied to sphinx80's topic in General Students

    This thread is 3 years old so the op may not see your request. I googled process recording and received many hits including this link

  25. Do you keep all of your textbooks? To rent or not to rent?

    AOx1 replied to mangopeach's topic in General Students

    I would ask your instructors which books you will use (if any) in future classes. I would buy everything online that you can (often older editions or international editions are just fine and...
