  1. Seriously hating clinicals - please help

    epinephRN replied to Mell Bell's topic in General Students

    Things will get better. Just remember that there is a learning curve with anything. I can tell you that you typically feel out of place and rather stupid the first time (or first several times) you do...

  2. What do you think about students asking for a higher grade?

    epinephRN replied to ohcomeon's topic in General Students

    As an instructor, I would never consider this unless the student could prove an error in the original grading. The syllabus is a contract, and I will not break it. If I do not hold to my syllabus, why...

    epinephRN replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    OP, good for you in standing up for yourself! The guilt lessens when you consider that you are actually helping them. If everyone said no to people who want money without expending effort, there would...

  7. Anybody here NOT do care plans?

    epinephRN replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in General Students

    My students are assigned BRAIN sheets, which are front/back 1 page care plans. They identify the top ten interventions and rationale, patho, pharm and considerations, relevant lab and considerations,...

  8. Quick question about SATA questions

    epinephRN replied to skillaz's topic in General Students

    If the instructor is using best practices it will never be all of the choices or only one of them. As an instructor, this was reinforced in several test question creation workshops I've
