   NPTeacher replied to MedLegalNurse's topic in Legal

   This is an area that is unknown to me, but I have had many questions from students, so thought I would ask those "in the know." What is the difference between being an expert witness and a legal...

   NPTeacher replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

   NPTeacher replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

   Hi there, I'm not Vicki, but I can also respond to this question. Unfortunately, there is no pat answer. It all depends on where you plan to go to get your BSN, as each school has its own set of...

4. educator pay

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

   HI T.C. Can't believe that you would really want to leave the lucrative salary of a CRNA for that of an educator! In my state, you would have to have a MSN in order to teach in a college nursing...

7. Physical Assessment Skills for BSN students

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

   Thanks for your replies. We are still in the mist of trying to "iron out" the differences in opinions in our own faculty. I am the one on the side of teaching all skills to students. I am a very firm...

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

   Some very interesting comments. You can sure tell which ones are the students and which are the teachers! I might add that our school is on an academic medical campus. So our students encounter...

9. Physical Assessment Skills for BSN students

   NPTeacher posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

   Several faculty members are having a disagreement about the depth of knowledge for a BSN student vs a MSN student (with a role focus as an NP). I won't tell you which side I am on - just want to get...

    NPTeacher replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Congratulations on going back to school. I, too, will graduate next summer (God willing!) with my PhD in Clinical Health Sciences. Then I will be able to get back 100% to teaching / clinical practice....

12. Nurse Educators, Introduce Yourselves!

    NPTeacher replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Hi all - I'm new to this board, but not new to nursing education. I have been teaching nursing for 7 years in a school with just about all levels of nursing education, (BSN, RN-BSN, MSN, and PhD...

13. Dress Code for nursing students?

    NPTeacher posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Our nursing school is on a medical sciences campus. We have toyed off and on with the idea of a dress code for our nursing students, but haven't instituted one. This year, many of our students are...
