  1. online tutoring?

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

    I suppose you could if your were internet savvy and had your own website and knew how to manage google etc. so your site popped up early. I wonder though, if students were willing to go outside of...

  2. What are the major issues you have struggled with as a nurse?

    jmqphd replied to Nurse Mentor Nancy's topic in General Nursing

    Fatigue! Disordered

  3. Mean Doctors....

    jmqphd replied to mnrb_mdn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh, yeah? I know for a fact that a nurse (of my acquaintence back when I lived in Dallas) called the police when a doctor zinged a chart past her head (he'd been on thin ice for a long time) and he...

  4. Stetoscope Issues

    jmqphd replied to lurolphil's topic in General Nursing

    I would bet you Littman would be amenable to fixing it, even if not for

  5. Nursing Students Incivility Towards Faculty and Other Students

    jmqphd replied to vbwise2's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I totally feel your pain! I do think there is a generational thing. Have heard that across majors, disciplines, schools, regions of the country etc. that the younger folks have a HUGE entitlement...

  6. Overweight Students

    jmqphd posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    What, if anything, do you say to students who are significantly, morbidly obese? In my mind I'm thinking they are headed for a short career with a lot of unsuccessful job interviews. Is it totally...

  7. Being a american nurse

    jmqphd replied to MeliLook's topic in General Nursing

    You ask challenging and interesting questions. I agree with the other respondents. Generally, American culture pretty much holds nurses in high regard. But on the other hand, not many people...

  8. Brain of a Nurse

    jmqphd replied to ttpurtee's topic in General Nursing

    Are you asking if nurses are typically "Left Brained" (logical, verbal) vrs. "Right Brained" (as in more intuitive)? I don't really know but I'm learning that different nurses (and students) process...

  9. Cognitive Dissonance

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

    My understanding is that in ADN programs typically do NOT have a separate pathophysiology course. I could be wrong, and if I am, someone with a wider background in education can tell me. But yes......

  10. "Right to Sit"

    jmqphd replied to core34's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I am not sure, but I can't imagine that they would search her pockets! (Though who knows now adays!) But I know she has lots of other things in her pocket when she's working. I know they were...

  11. "Right to Sit"

    jmqphd replied to core34's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    My daughter is a type 1 diabetic and an ER nurse. Their stupid no-food-no-fluids policies caused her to tank her blood sugar. She'd planned her break and had her food coming (another nurse was...

  12. "Right to Sit"

    jmqphd replied to core34's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    That sounds utterly barbaric. I can do almost any physical requirement of being a nurse, lift, and push and bend and stoop and scrabble on the floor to untie a restraint, or wrestle with the confused...

  13. Graduation Rates Merritt College vs. San Antonio College

    jmqphd replied to slong41's topic in California Nursing

    Just look into your overall QOL and the chances of finding a good paying job after graduation. Chances are San Antonio will hold up better under the scrutiny than will

  14. Nurses with depression

    jmqphd replied to grandmawrinkle's topic in Health, Stress Management

    No one has ever asked me. If it comes up at all, it would probably be in the process of getting your employer provided health insurance. If information about your pre-existing conditions and the...

  15. Lots of young people on disability?

    jmqphd replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    My students were discussing what they "hated" about some nurses. I had to point out to them that they were being judgmental towards nurses they thought were being judgmental. So they were guilty of...

  16. Life

    jmqphd replied to NurseK21's topic in General Nursing

    Oh... if you are doing this for a nursing class, be sure to check out what Abraham Maslow classified as

  17. Who is a professional nurse?

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in General Nursing

    Here is a pet peeve of mine. Why in the name of heaven do nurses wear Betty Boop, Bambi, Bunny Rabbit, cute little hearts and valentines, posies, angels, paisley prints in garish colors etc etc...

  18. Who is a professional nurse?

    jmqphd posted a topic in General Nursing

    Patients cannot consistently recognize an RN. You cannot expect patients to be able to read the name tag. Everyone is in random colors/pattern/prints scubs. They don't know if I'm the housekeeper...

  19. Who is a professional nurse?

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in General Nursing

    WOw... my spelling and syntax s#cks after I take zolpidem. Remind me not to post while

  20. Life

    jmqphd replied to NurseK21's topic in General Nursing

    You're asking a question that is in the purview of theologians and philosophers. My suggestion is that you research how different ages and cultures have answered the question. Question #1 from the...

  21. Working as a nursing school clinical instructor

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

    Do you have a graduate degree? In our state every faculty member (even part time clinical instructors) have to have a Master's degree. Also, NLNAC looks at what % of faculty members (including...

  22. Who is a professional nurse?

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in General Nursing

    I think that people can infer from what I do and say that i am his nurse. But he will ask for care from the cleaning gal. And he might tell me that "that other nurse gave me this ice-bag and I think...

  23. Who is a professional nurse?

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in General Nursing

    I was shown an article about a unit of nurses who decided among themselves to conduct a test on how patients would respond to nurses in white. THey really got into it... They had to design and...

  24. Fecal Disimpaction

    jmqphd replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    Well, look folks. When did digital disimpaction turn into something that was beyond nursing's scope of practice. Some of the stuff that's been mentioned is certainly true, and besides, the procedure...

  25. Need help/clarification with CEU's

    jmqphd replied to cookiemnster's topic in General Nursing

    I do lots of Continuing education but am real bad about keeping all the certificates, so every two years I have to sit down and get 30 hours. Just bite the bullet. Put on a pot of coffee. Get out...
