I am beyond angry at this whole thing. I respect the police, but how dare they treat a nurse like that? I hope she does sue the police department. He should have at least been put on leave while the investigation is on-going. You cannot arrest or detain people just because you don't like the policy. If you want the blood get a warrant, can't get a warrant, not the nurse's problem. I am also disappointed in the hospital/ university police for not stepping in.

I did not have a good experience with Capella. Your experience may be different, but for me I'm in a lot of student loan debt and ended up quitting without a degree.

Bathment When your patient needs a bed bath and assessment at the same time. I use the term with my students (usually in a long-term care setting) from time to time.

1. Never forget you are taking care of humans...not just a room number. 2. Everyone has bad days, it will get better 3. Document EVERYTHING, if you don't have time at the moment, make yourself a note. 4. Always carry extra pens (and a small notepad in your pocket) 5. Extra clothes can save your day sometime... don't forget the socks.

Blood...lots of blood

I've been working in a community college nursing program full time for 3 years. The best part by far is the time off (although I can't take it when I want to). I also enjoy knowing I will be off every weekend.

Actually north campus only has a LVN program, not a transitional. To answer your last question, they accept so many applicants for example 60. If 60 people made 90+ then the cut off is 90. If 60 people made 85+ then the cut off is 85.

I just graduated with my MSN. I work for a college and it took my boss and I to find someone to precept me. It was not easy. Most hospitals/ colleges just told me no. I honestly thought I would not graduate because I could not find a preceptor. Thank goodness I finally did, even then there was issue after issue. I'm glad it is over! Good luck in finding someone.

I am contracted for 35 hours and any "overload" time must be added to that. I usually spend 35+ hours on campus, but the vast majority of that is in the classroom teaching. I do some grading/ prep at home, but it is done on my time. My employer wants the faculty to be on campus in case students need us.

I become a RN at 22. During school I was a babysitter, worked at Macy's and at one point filled medical records.

I started teaching with a little over 3 years of experience. I teach practical/ vocational nursing, which is different than ADNs. I have had no problem teaching the first semester students including clinical. I think one year is a little extreme, but I do not agree with requiring a lot of experience either. If a school requires a lot of experience, they are guaranteeing that only older nurses will teach in their program. I think the schools need younger nurses as well. The minimum in my state is 3 years. Just my

I agree. I LOVE allnurses.com!!!!

Thanks everyone for your good ideas. I like the massage certificate...for myself! No, I don't think I will give any students any phone numbers for other students no matter how cute.

I can teach with my BSN while working on my MSN. So for that reason I am glad I got my BSN. I wish you the best of luck in your future!

We will be having a new student orientation soon at my college. During the process, we have drawings. We always give away a textbook or study aid, but what would be something you would want to get for free? We have had suggestions such as highlighters, post-its, index cards, and notebooks. Someone suggested a computer, but our budget is NOT that big. Do any of you have suggestions of items you would like to receive? Thanks for your input!:heartbeat
