    marachne replied to DrZaphod's topic in Oregon Nursing

    You might try getting in touch w/OHSU's PMHNP program and seeing if they can steer you in the right

  2. Where to go for a PhD?

    marachne replied to nursebrandie28's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    You mean an EdD? I know one of the faculty at my institution got hers at Portland State University -- which, if you saw my post about rubrics, is where the authors of that book are. Is that what you...

  3. Decreasing Performance and Test Anxiety in Practicing Nurses

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

    One thing is to learn/practice/employ simple stress reduction techniques. Example: During the course of a test, be sure you take time to stop. put down your pen/pencil. put your feet flat on the...

  4. Scoring Rubric for Grading Students' Participation in Online Discussions

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

    I am all for using Rubrics where ever and when ever it makes sense to do so. The up front work is pretty intense, but after that, grading is so much easier and faster -- and by giving the students...

  5. New PhD/DNP program in Oklahoma

    marachne replied to sjt9721's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I understand that you are just wanting to get the word out there that there are new programs. Gotta agree on the cost factor -- I'm at $490 credit/hr and that's with large increases over the last...

  6. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    marachne replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Humble apologies for dragging the thread off point. I'm afraid I just got some major buttons hit. That said, I will still note that of the essences of communication is to bring the reader/listener...

  7. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    marachne replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    If you want people to pay attention to your writing, you have to present your ideas in a logical manner and within context. Generally, in an academic setting the point is to synthesize and extrapolate...

  9. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    marachne replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, I beg to differ as to your argument regarding not needing to cite. If you are writing a scholarly piece, you must substantiate your statements with other, respected work. After all, my saying that...

  10. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    marachne replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, we had this very conversation -- I meant to do that! It's a perfect example of what I was warning you about! etc. Great minds think

  11. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    marachne replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Gotta post a diss on myself. It's related to the point of "people who correct others with comments that include mistakes." In a meeting of the faculty for a course that is offered second quarter of...

  12. OHSU and other PDX area applicants for 2009

    marachne replied to studentmom2007's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I just found out that, because they increased the size of the Acc Bacc cohort, the incoming OCNE cohort will only be 27 people. (There's only so many faculty, not to mention clinical sites, to go...

    Not familiar with it -- what is its draw for

  15. CONFIDENTIALITY of hospice pts/family

    marachne replied to pinkdolphin's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    If the social worker is working in their role as counselor/therapist (and that would be the role in this situation) then the usual rules of client confidentiality would apply (minus mandatory...

  16. NLN Think Tank on Transforming Clinical Education: Report

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

    It's nice to see Chris Tanner as one of the leaders of this effort. I have worked with her, under her and seen how she has pushed the art and science of nursing education

  17. Question on doing pre-reqs for nursing in OSU

    marachne replied to cheeza4u's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I'd like to know who is giving you such information. Where you do your prereqs has no bearing on your admittance. All of those that I did not have from my prior degree I took at Portland Community...

  18. help

    marachne replied to alps2sea's topic in Oregon Nursing

    The one exception to "no one cares if you have a prior degree" is that to be in an accelerated RN program or a direct entry program (i.e. go directly into either psych np or midwifery) you need a...

  19. Pain managing question

    marachne replied to MistiroseRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Questioning what is "always done" is generally a good idea. Policies or informal habits need to be reviewed. With pain medication, as with any other kind of care, there is no "one size fits all," but...

  20. Clinical Nurse Instructor Advice...

    marachne replied to Angela11's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Another excellent book for teaching clinicals is Nursing Education in the Clinical Setting by Roberta Emerson (Mosby Elsevier 2007). Among other things, the last chapter is a "clinical toolbox" with...

  21. Pain managing question

    marachne replied to MistiroseRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    It is pretty well documented that aggressive pain management does not hasten death. You also need to keep in mind that tolerance does build up, so the amount that may seem excessive to you may not be...

  22. DNP to PhD programs?

    marachne replied to ivanh3's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Well, in my experience as a IRB board member, many of those "MDs who do research," unless they've been at it a while and/or have research training as well do a poor job of designing studies. Many of...

  23. DNP to PhD programs?

    marachne replied to ivanh3's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I can't speak in general terms, or what is/has been approved by either AACN or local BON, but looking at the program at my institution, there is almost no overlap between the DNP and the PhD programs....

  24. Further education in Hospice and Palliative care

    marachne replied to CLWCHPN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I am not aware of any specialized programs at the BS level in the U.S. As for an accredited program in Scotland, that accreditation is unlikely to transfer to the U.S. There are master's level nursing...

  25. Systems assessment
