  1. Nursing Faculty Shortage and Salaries

    mommiof2kids replied to Rhilogan's topic in General Nursing

    I have also seen the tide turning in regards to the "nursing shortage." It's been interesting. What is happening, at least in some parts of the country, is that experienced nurses who were retired are...

  2. Platt college?

    mommiof2kids replied to Korinth's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I would have to disagree with you. Platt College is accredited by the American Association of Technical Schools. The nursing school is also fully approved by the state board of nursing. Take a look at...

  3. Hesi Exit Test

    mommiof2kids replied to CSLee3's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    the school that I am faculty at uses the HESI as a means to gauge how the students are doing, and a tool to evaluate curriculum. We do not use as a requirement to move on to the next level or to...

  4. Would Love to Hear Worst Student Nurse Fumbles

    mommiof2kids replied to sonnyluv's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    giving my first shot as a student nurse, my instructor insisted that I use the 1 1/2 inch needle on a very thin man. So, scared to death, I go in, have the man turn over so I can give in his glut....

  6. MD likes to make you feel stupid

    mommiof2kids replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Stand up to that doc! Take a deep breath, look him in the eye and tell him that you don't like the way he's talking to you. He probably doesn't even realize how he's speaking to you. If you don't...

  7. CNA to NURSE on same job, Job will not change my status

    mommiof2kids replied to nursenewbe's topic in General Nursing

    If you like your job and where you work, stick it out until there is an opening for an LVN. If you don't like your job start applying for another employer. Just be very careful that you are not...

  9. Schools without waiting list for 2year RN program???

    mommiof2kids replied to MrsCurious1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I work at platt college in Dallas. We are in the process of getting approval by the Board of Nursing for a 2 year program. Platt College in Oklahoma does have a 2 year program. As far as I know...

  10. I got my coworker fired

    mommiof2kids replied to lovesthefullmoon's topic in General Nursing

    I emailed one of my team leaders about a coworker who was talking in patient care areas about very sexually explicit topics. It made me uncomfortable but I was mainly concerned about the patients...

    mommiof2kids replied to NanaRn86's topic in Emergency

    ask lots and lots of questions. don't ever be afraid to ask for help. nurses in the ER work together as a team. that's often the only way to manage a critically ill patient. take advantage of being...

  12. Help..fellow RN breaking into co-workers E mail

    mommiof2kids replied to iluvivt's topic in General Nursing

    since you are union, I would suggest calling your union rep. Anyone violating your email and impersonating you is breaking the law. In fact, it might be considered harassment. If your union is worried...

  13. Question about classroom teaching

    mommiof2kids replied to pnutmom's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I, too, am new to teaching in a PN program. My previous director discouraged the use of ppt. She said we were to only read the lecture material to the class and that was good enough. Personally, I...

  15. Administration lacks the reasoning ability of a 5 year old

    mommiof2kids replied to Guest219794's topic in General Nursing

    that solution was a "good one"??? give me a break. do you honestly think that the manager is going to follow a nurse around and time them to see how long it takes them to complete a task? get real....

  16. Administration lacks the reasoning ability of a 5 year old

    mommiof2kids replied to Guest219794's topic in General Nursing

    actually, no I'm not. don't care to be. but i do think that the op's "solution" is juvenile and unrealistic. No manager is going to spend their day following around nurses and timing them on how long...

  17. Administration lacks the reasoning ability of a 5 year old

    mommiof2kids replied to Guest219794's topic in General Nursing

    perhaps instead of being a part of the problem you should be part of the solution. Management is often willing to consider a more time/cost efficient way of doing something but they want to see the...

  18. Someone pllleeeaaaasseee help me

    mommiof2kids replied to tdms's topic in General Nursing

    I must say that I'm disappointed by this comment. Perhaps, rather than berating a new grad for not "refusing an assignment" the comment could have been, I know it's hard to stand up for yourself as a...

    Just wondering what the average salary is for nursing faculty. I'm a BSN teaching in an LVN program. I've got 11 years experience. Starting salary at my program is 55K. Does that sound right? Or too...

  20. Student wants advice about professor from Nurse Educatiors

    mommiof2kids replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Goody Nurse, Please don't take my comments as rude or insensitive. This is just my opinion. I'm wondering if perhaps the class is expecting all of the information to be handed to them? I know that I...

  21. Student wants advice about professor from Nurse Educatiors

    mommiof2kids replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Speaking from a "new" instructor's standpoint, I'd like to address your questions. First, power points are supposed to be minimal. The intent is to highlight the important areas and then fill in with...

  22. Discussing scheduling problem during interview

    mommiof2kids replied to DeLana_RN's topic in General Nursing

  23. I do not care anymore

    mommiof2kids replied to JB2007's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds to me like you are burned out. Take a vacation, clear your mind and then find something else in nursing that you're passionate about. It'll do wonders for
