  1. Nursing educators- salaries

    judymai replied to ginat113's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Hey berylmac! I am also teaching in Oregon. I must admit to curiosity about where you are. I share your frustration about salaries and workload. I have to laugh when people assume we have weekends,...

  2. Truth about Nursing diagnosis

    judymai replied to UTRN2005's topic in General Nursing

    I have the previledge (and headache) of teaching the Nursing Process to first term ADN students. Although we teach nursing diagnosis, most of what I focus on is that the process is more in your head...

  3. What should they teach in nursing school but don't. What do they teach but shouldn't?

    judymai replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I have been teaching in a variety of roles for ADN programs for 13 years (with a BSN and additional education courses). They have needed me because many advanced degree nurses (MSN) are not available...

  4. What should they teach in nursing school but don't. What do they teach but shouldn't?

    judymai replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    WOW! This takes me back to the "I can train a chimp to do a nurse's work" mentality. Nursing is much more than giving meds and taking vital signs. It's no wonder we aren't viewed as a profession when...

  5. Design the Ideal Nurse

    judymai replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

    While this is true, it is only one change in the long history of nursing. The founders of the nursing profession did not specify nursing as a University level profession - and before you respond..I...

  6. How many quit???

    judymai replied to Deb123j's topic in General Nursing

  7. educator pay

    judymai replied to berry's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

  8. What can I do with my BSN that Assoc. RN's can't?

    judymai replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

    actually i did note at the bottom of the post that i have taught in both idaho and oregon. in both of these adn programs it has been difficult finding qualified msns to fill faculty roles. each year...

  9. kicked out nrsing school-would u fight?

    judymai replied to hotcoffee1's topic in General Nursing

    As with the previous post, I am a nursing instructor. I have been watching this thread with curiousity and sadness. I am disappointed in the negative tone it has taken overall. I can't help but wonder...

  10. What can I do with my BSN that Assoc. RN's can't?

    judymai replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

    In California you have to have a BSN to become a public nurse or a WOCN, also have to have a BSN to be a Director of Nurses in a college that teaches LVN's and RN's. I find it hard to believe that...

  11. Why is the term client used instead of patient?

    judymai replied to LauraLou's topic in General Nursing

    you say tomayto - I say tomahto The best question might be......does it matter what we "call" those we provide care for. As a nurse educator, the issue of client vs patient is frequently revisited in...
