  1. What to do? :(

    AOx1 replied to Toaster's topic in General Students

    I would not think badly of a student who quit abruptly, but a quick conversation could be beneficial. The most upsetting thing I've ever encountered was a disappearing student, who vanished from the...

  2. I'm Mentally ILL says Teacher!

    AOx1 replied to Litenurse2b's topic in General Students

    This is a bit confusing. The only other post I see from you was in 2007, and you were in LVN school at the time with a discrepancy in the hours missed to continue in the program and a different...

  3. Continuing my education after my ADN

    AOx1 replied to bgilstrap's topic in General Students

    Op, I would agree with krisiepoo. I never wanted to teach. I discovered how much I love it by accident, when I was asked to teach ACLS many years ago. You never know what the future holds. If the...

  4. What to do? :(

    AOx1 replied to Toaster's topic in General Students

    OP, do you like nursing school, or do you enjoy nursing as a career? There is a big difference. Consider shadowing nurses in several specialties. I ask because you mention that you miss your...

  5. Failed Last Semester Clinical

    AOx1 replied to snowwhite2002's topic in General Students

    OP, this is a time of grief. I wouldn't make any quick decisions. Consider continuing with the reapplication process. I certainly can't speak for your professors, but when a student fails one of my...

  6. My clinical instructor could be a psych case study

    AOx1 replied to User720's topic in General Students

    This is not at all conducive to learning, and should be reported at once to your dean, as GrnTea has mentioned. I would consider a group report. Again, this is not at all appropriate. You are there...

  7. Certified Nurse Educator (CNE) Exam 2013

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

    I passed without difficulty. I had already read the majority of books on the list, most several times. I also used the Wittmann-Price book, but found my previous readings to be more helpful. I did not...

  8. Nursing Classroom Education: The big bang of powerpoint slavery

    AOx1 replied to guest042302019's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I realize that this thread is older, but will still respond. I do not use PowerPoint. I watched several instructors use it and noted that even when used well, many students don't take any notes or...

  9. Tricky/Unfair Nursing professor..HELP

    AOx1 replied to futurefotorn's topic in General Students

    With nearly 3/4 of the students passing, the assumption should not be that the instructor "caused" students to fail. The instructor is not at fault when students opt not to do everything they can to...

  10. Completely enraged!!!

    AOx1 replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    As JBudd noted, this should be reported "up the chain" in a factual manner. The bookstore at the school where I teach often messes things up, leading to increased stress in our students. We all kept...

  11. Considering a non - accredited school

    AOx1 replied to Trust in Jesus's topic in General Students

    I would not do it. At least around here, all grad programs require that candidates graduate from ACEN-accredited schools. My hospital won't hire anyone from a non-accredited school, and the hospital...

  12. University discrimination - what do you do when you fail 4th year?

    AOx1 replied to shattered's topic in General Students

    OP, you need to review not only the nursing school's appeal policy, but that of the college or university itself. It is often very specific about what constitutes grounds for an appeal, how to take...

  13. Dealing with "haters"...

    AOx1 replied to mmcc26's topic in General Students

    Next time, tell her "thank you." My biggest critics have given me incentive to excel. It is also fun to watch the reaction when mean people aren't rewarded by gaining the ability to upset others....

  14. Nurse educator certification

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

    This was my experience as well, right down to the study guide. I did not find the exam at all difficult. A coworker also has her CNE and she attended a prep

  15. My heartache and hiatus...

    AOx1 replied to CheesePotato's topic in General Nursing

    CP, wishing you peace in days to

  16. Got fired for changing fluid rate

    AOx1 replied to lolakbolak's topic in General Nursing

    This is no longer recommended as most RCTs haven't shown benefit, and some show

  17. Voice Recorders

    AOx1 replied to larma's topic in General Students

    If you have microsoft OneNote, you can import powerpoints, take notes, & record audio or video with the same program. It's preloaded on many Windows computers as part of

  18. My husband said...

    AOx1 replied to stephanie.'s topic in General Students

    This is the key in our household. The house is very

  19. Now I know why nobody ever gets a 4.0 at my school ...

    AOx1 replied to bonjournurse2b's topic in General Students

    The criteria for an A is ridiculous, and will only hurt those applying to graduate

  20. Missing orientation day - How to make a good impression?

    AOx1 replied to nursing_student93's topic in General Students

    Can you find classmates on facebook, or are you in touch with any in person? In addition to the information you'll receive from the school, this might help you pick up anything you missed. Maybe...

  21. I know this an old beast BUT ...

    AOx1 replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't want either of you as a friend or an employee. You put down BSN education because of some bad apples. Your BSN friends compare ADN preparation to CNAs. Professionalism involves respecting...

  22. End of clinical presents

    AOx1 replied to paratroopa's topic in General Students

    My favorite gifts from my students have always been framed photos and notes. Another group gave a small amount to a charity in my name, and that was also very

  23. Failed appeals on your record.

    AOx1 replied to charli_appleRN's topic in General Students

    She skipped an exam, is now failing her second class, blames the instructors for not serving as her tutor, and plans to throw someone "under the bus" in retaliation for her own errors? A wise person...

  24. I think I'm one of *those* kinds of students

    AOx1 replied to Jill2Shay's topic in General Students

    I pm'd some of the information on current ebp to her. Very frustrating that students seem to be receiving information that isn't showing both sides and the lack of good evidence for

  25. I think I'm one of *those* kinds of students

    AOx1 replied to Jill2Shay's topic in General Students

    Your injection technique without aspiration was likely correct, unless you were "giving" one of a few certain meds in your test-off. I PM'd you a link to some evidence-based
