  2. Where to go for a PhD?

    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. 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. 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

    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...

  7. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    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!!

    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!!

    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!!

    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

    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

  16. 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

    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

    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

    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...

    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

    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?

    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?

    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. 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...
