  1. Students' top book recommendations

    AOx1 posted a topic in General Students

    What are the most helpful books you've had in school? I am trying to put together a list of the most useful books (ex- study guides, care plan helps, etc) from a student point-of-view. Thanks for any...

  2. Students want to be "friends"

    AOx1 replied to sunnysideup09's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Ensuring your communication isn't abrupt is very different from being friends. A friendship with a student while they are still a student is an overstepping of boundaries. For example, I don't feel...

  3. What drugs are best for conscious sedation? Safety of patient being priority.

    AOx1 replied to sodacrek's topic in General Students

    The idea is NOT to be completely under for conscious sedation. Recent studies have indicated that a surprising number of patients ordered to receive conscious sedation actually receive an induction of...

  4. What makes a bad nurse?

    AOx1 replied to cpo_one's topic in General Students

    Arrogance- annoying in any profession, dangerous/deadly in this one. If you don't know, ask. It's not possible to know everything in this field, you are always learning. Laziness/lack of motivation-...

  5. How much is too much when your class has uninvited guests?

    AOx1 replied to Blueorchid's topic in General Students

    Maybe just be direct as the previous post mentions, and say, "John, it's nice that you like to help. Right now, we are wanting to have a quiet study session/group member only practice session/etc but...

    It's a great book with tons of practical advice. I hope you love it. Good

  7. Shortage of Nsg Faculty and now I know why

    AOx1 replied to meluhn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Part of it may be that others have set an unfortunate precedent prior to your arrival; as Whispera mentions, allowing disrespect has a way of causing more disrespectful behavior. It sounds like the...

  8. Shortage of Nsg Faculty and now I know why

    AOx1 replied to meluhn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Every class is different, with their own personality. Don't get discouraged. The first year is always the worst; it gets easier with time as you develop you own skills, routines, and course material....

  9. Now its getting outta HAND !

    AOx1 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I am an instructor and would prefer to know if one of my students had an issue with lecture. If enough students were to say this, I would certainly consider making changes. Not all instructors are so...

  10. Why do I want to be a nurse? Vent - Rant

    AOx1 replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in General Students

    Bit of advice from an instructor? Don't you DARE give up! I would insist on following this through the grievance process. If you have any other witnesses (ex- a fellow student or a floor nurse that...

  11. Should a nursing instructor tell a student they are not nursing material.

    AOx1 replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    As an instructor, I have heard of these comments being made. My main issue is that if a comment were presented in such a manner, it would not be helpful. It isn't very concrete and doesn't give...

  12. Extremely frustrated @ clinicals!

    AOx1 replied to miss_pitty_pat's topic in General Students

    Miss Pitty Pat, I am so glad to hear that things have improved some for you! Keep working hard, I am sure you will see the reward. I am now an instructor and still a staff nurse. I hope I can provide...

  13. Nursing Instructors Pet Peeves

    AOx1 replied to beachbum3's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Lurking outside the room asking when an exam grade will be posted (although I always post within a few hours after item

  14. Ways to motivate and reward students

    AOx1 posted a topic in General Students

    As an instructor, I am always looking for ways to motivate and encourage students. My students are already great and the huge majority are already self-motivated. We don't have any attendance policy...

  15. Ways to motivate and reward students

    AOx1 replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    As I mentioned, my students are already motivated. I am looking for tips from the student perspective about what motivators/encouragements have been most appreciated by them when in school. We all...

  16. Ways to motivate and reward students

    AOx1 replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    Thanks to all who have responded. I appreciate your

  17. Extremely frustrated @ clinicals!

    AOx1 replied to miss_pitty_pat's topic in General Students

    First and foremost, you should talk to your instructor. Don't ever leave the floor without permission. Although the nurses are the ones at fault, you don't want to act in a way that could jeopardize...

  18. Ways to motivate and reward students

    AOx1 replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    AOx1 posted a topic in General Students

    What did you like most and least about your nursing research class? What would have made you more interested in this topic? Did you find it relevant to your future nursing

  20. Why the high drop out rate of nursing students?

    AOx1 replied to newhere_noname's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Education is a partnership. I sought out this profession not because I am poor and need more money (I could make a lot more working in the hospital) or because I like to torture people, but out of a...

  21. my husband....the jerk......sorry this is a rant :)

    AOx1 replied to HeatherTN's topic in General Students

    Sorry you are going through this. As a nursing instructor I see a lot of students going through divorce or planning one after graduation. I would recommend always having a plan so you can minimize...

  22. Update on Transgender nursing Student

    AOx1 replied to Transgender_n_TN's topic in General Students

    I've been a Christian a long time and this is one of the things that upsets me the most- that some churches wish to exclude people based on their own interpretations of scripture. Can't say anything...

  23. Update on Transgender nursing Student

    AOx1 replied to Transgender_n_TN's topic in General Students

    What a difficult position to be in! It seems you have a few options. You could: Continue with part of your transition (ex- hormones if you plan to take them, legal name change) leaving surgery until...

  24. Starting Nursing School and Getting Divorced

    AOx1 replied to MermiesGreatGig's topic in General Students

    Good luck to you. Having spoken with many nursing students about similar issues, I can tell you that everyone's experience is different. The few things I do recommend as their instructor is to ensure...

  25. "Nursing students with C's are still nurses".. ?

    AOx1 replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    As an instructor, I have seen many sides of this coin. I have seen students who initially fail a course for a variety of reasons (often personal) and come back to pass with flying colors and mature...
