  1. Youtube!

    tridil2000 posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Educators, I find it increasingly disturbing that so many nursing students are turning to Youtube now to learn nursing concepts. Kudos to the nurses who leveraged the platform, but neither Sara,...

  2. What Is Wrong with These Students?

    tridil2000 replied to PamtheNurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Oh my. First, no where did I ever write or imply what you just typed. Do not imply I did; so let's be 100% clear on that. Despite this angry post about our profession and infectious disease,...

  5. starting legal nursing

    tridil2000 replied to ccraig0034's topic in Legal

    I am not sure if you ever did this? However, your OR experience is very niche, BUT very valuable. I am wondering what you did, because you are in a unique position to subcontract out your specific...

  6. What to charge for chart review/opinion?

  7. What Is Wrong with These Students?

    tridil2000 replied to PamtheNurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I really liked your comment, and wonder how you feel about what I call, "clinical care RNs," and not "bedside" RNs, making BANK these days! Finally after pushing them beyond burnout, beyond mass...

  8. What Is Wrong with These Students?

    tridil2000 replied to PamtheNurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    It's been a minute- what a year, or should I say 2?! ugh - Anyway, how are you doing

  9. What to charge for chart review/opinion?

    tridil2000 replied to INN_777's topic in Legal

    Can you tell me what your retainer states? That they will pay that minimum no matter what? I am unsure of how to structure this. THANK

  10. Re-admitting nursing students into the program after a failure

    tridil2000 replied to historyfan's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I think you have a responsibility to look at your own data too. For example, if a high percentage of your fails are from the same tenured professor's course, then that needs to be evaluated with due...

  11. Has anyone tried ‘Legal Nurses Rock’ LNC program?

    tridil2000 replied to Vbergeron's topic in Legal

    Hello- I am not sure what the One hour workshop is? Someone emailed me with a quote of $4900. There was no pdf or breakdown of what would be included with that. I am really leary of that...

  12. What Is Wrong with These Students?

    tridil2000 replied to PamtheNurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I like to see them think. I like to see them imagine and want to understand. I truly enjoy listening to them think outloud. I can see where their thoughts are developing, and redirect that thinking in...

  13. What Is Wrong with These Students?

    tridil2000 replied to PamtheNurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Remind them of the value you bring. Explain concepts in easy terms, then in depth. Make them WANT to learn your craft. Have them verbalize what they learned today what they did not know yesterday, and...

  14. What Is Wrong with These Students?

    tridil2000 replied to PamtheNurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I have no issues with my students. I make my expectations clear and challenge them. I let them challenge me. I remind them how they are getting their money's worth as we summarize what they have...

    tridil2000 replied to PamtheNurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Once again with the millennials. You're educating gen Z now. The millennials have kids in middle school

  16. Rude doctors

    tridil2000 replied to SnickerDoodle_RN's topic in Emergency

    1. attempt to discuss behaviors directly and be prepared to use examples and the words "unacceptable" and "unprofessional." 2. Follow through that day with consistent assertiveness. Try to note...

  17. New Grad ER RN - Help

    tridil2000 replied to SK2019's topic in Emergency

    Your poreceptor is a bully. Plain and simple. CONFRONT her with EXAMPLES and be clear what she shouldn't be doing. Say: "You can probably start that IV quicker, but I am going to do it now. DO NOT...

  18. ED Educator

    tridil2000 replied to EDRNCCmom's topic in Emergency

    First, you need to be certain everyone's (ALL staff) certs are utd. Make sure there is an excel file - bls, acls, pals, cen, tncc, atcc, encp etc. Then you want to be sure everyone has their...

  19. Does the level of trauma center matter?

    tridil2000 replied to SR8811's topic in Emergency

    If given the choice for a level 2 or a level 4, I would pick the 2. A level 4 would bore the hell out of me - but, that's

  21. Do you calculate drip rates anymore?

    tridil2000 replied to goingback's topic in General Nursing

    Do you count drams and minims still too? Just because you've done it like that for 60 years doesn't mean it's best practice now. No pumps? Write an incident report and report it to

  22. Do you calculate drip rates anymore?

    tridil2000 replied to goingback's topic in General Nursing

    No pump? dont infuse. Period. Call your manger or supervisor. Hand counting drops is in itself a Med error by default. Leave that roller clamp alone- and boom- your med rate is already askew. Do...

  24. BSN is a joke

    tridil2000 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry you think educating yourself above the level of a technician is a waste of your time. You must understand evidence. You must understand that nursing is a scholarly profession, worthy of...

  25. Nursing responsibility for certain Lab test results

    tridil2000 replied to taylorzg's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You aren't there to medically dx a uti. The pt will have dysuria. A med assistant can dip urine for results. Professional nursing practice encompasses much more. Alteration in comfort related to...
