  1. Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    jmqphd posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Not sure where this goes on allnurses. But since everyone has their own core beliefs that inform their nursing practice, I thought it would be interesting to more than just the political junkies....

  2. I HATE NANDA!!!!

    jmqphd posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I believe a nursing diagnosis should drive the nursing process. You collect data (assessment), then define the patient's likely problem(s) (diagnosis), determine where the patient needs to be (goals)...

  3. NANDA history

    jmqphd posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    [TABLE=width: 100%] [TR] [TD=bgcolor: #f3f1f0, colspan: 2]1973: Kristine Gebbie and Mary Ann Lavin call the First Task Force to Name and Classify Nursing Diagnoses. Members plan to meet biannually in...

  4. NANDA history

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I'm having difficulty with students struggling to find the exact NANDA dx for their patient's problems. Rather than reason through their assessment data and synthesize in their own minds their...

  5. University Administration promoting Inequality - You?

    jmqphd replied to tealady's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I teach at a proprietary school and there is a genuine equality in the sense that faculty in general ed are paid comparably to nursing faculty. It has to do with how many "face hours" you have, plus...

  6. Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    jmqphd replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Hmmmm... interesting conversation. There hasn't been any "Xtian" input yet so, since I qualify, I'll put in my 2 cents worth. I think what some of you have experienced is "being witnessed to." If...

  7. Cheating ADN STUDENTS in lecture

    jmqphd replied to prof joe's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Testing policy is in the student handbook and specifies much of what was stated above. All of our tests are on our website so it's done on line. We scramble the questions and the distractors. Same...

  8. Instructor prep time

    jmqphd replied to dmapp63's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I'm full time and 3 hours prep for 1 hour lecture is maybe close to fair. I'm OCD about this and may take longer. Takes longer especially if you're starting from scratch on a new topic. Gotta...

  9. "Caring behaviors"

    jmqphd posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Our Clinical Evaluation Tool has an item that requires a rating on Caring behaviors. There's no definition of the term, not in the tool itself, or any syllabus, handbook or catalogue. Consequently,...

  10. "Caring behaviors"

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Thanks much... I'll talk to our librarian tomorrow!

  11. "Caring behaviors"

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Excellent. I think we should make our CET more expansive in regards to all the people in the patient care environment, including other care-givers, significant others, family members and so forth....

  12. Working for the Rich Population?

    jmqphd replied to winter_green's topic in General Nursing

    Your question seems odd to me. What do you mean? In a hospital, a spa, cruise-ship??? The days of the boutique general hospitals as I remember them, is pretty much

  13. When the axe falls...

    jmqphd posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I live in a town that has had two hospitals for as long as anyone can remember. One was the county hospital (now is run as a business, has share holders etc.) and the other was the Catholic Hospital....

  14. University refuses to accept credits from neighboring ADN program

    jmqphd posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    We are a proprietary nursing school that is doing a bang up job producing well respected graduates. Our first time pass rate is 91.4%. Our placement rates are excellent. Our students are in high...

  15. University refuses to accept credits from neighboring ADN program

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Not sure what you mean by nationally accredited. AACN is the agency that accredits schools awarding the BSN (like yours). NLNAC accredits ADN programs around the country. There are no other...

  16. University refuses to accept credits from neighboring ADN program

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Our retention rate is very high. the vast majority that get into the clinical semesters will graduate... though sometimes they may need to repeat a course. We're even seeing that go down as a %...

  17. The False Advertising of For-Profit Institutions

    jmqphd replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in General Students

    There was a post from a former HR person who said any resume that mentions U of Phoenix or other proprietary school is dumped no matter what else the applicant has to offer. And speaking of which......

  18. Switching Jobs

    jmqphd replied to nurseontheway's topic in General Nursing

    It's not so bad and I'll bet you ramp up more or less gradually. Hopefully you get a good orientation and a good preceptor. In my view, the thing that makes the biggest difference is the team-work....

  19. When the axe falls...

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It's sort of happened before. Mary's went a long time with the fiction that they would NEVER reduce their number of "bedside nurses"... it looks bad to the public, don't you know. Bur what they were...

  20. Navy Nursing: Anyone have experience with the NCP?

    jmqphd replied to GuelnRn's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm a Vietnam era vet and was in the NNCCP (that's what it was called then.) I only had to pay for one year of college education, the Navy picked up the rest, and gave me a stipend while I was still...

  21. The False Advertising of For-Profit Institutions

    jmqphd replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in General Students

    OK... let me take you guys on. I am on the faculty of a "for profit" institution. You are all right. We take the students others don't want. To me, that is a badge of honor. Ours is a 2 year...

  22. When the axe falls...

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Here's one wrinkle. Even though this is NV, the nurses at Mary's were organized/unionized by the California Nurses' Association which meant these nurses were being paid California wages......

  23. Nursing professor - BSN/MSN after PhD in public health?

    jmqphd replied to lissa.the.cocoa's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Yeah, there are indeed quite a few positions out there for MSN/PhD's in nursing education. But very honestly, I think your plan would put you in a Catch-22 situation. It is a BIG, IMPORTANT school...

  24. Nobody likes "Obamacare", so what should we replace it with?

    jmqphd replied to MunoRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm married to a doc so take what I say with that in mind... If doctors could deduct some % of no-pays (or can't pays) from their taxes, they would be willing to see more of them. When my husband has...

  25. Health care a right or privilege

    jmqphd replied to jcasablanca's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I would love Universal health care. I could retire! The only reason I'm working is to have health insurance. I love my dogs and I'd be out training every day and most weekends, I could be off...
