According to some Obama plan changes US dept of education is encouraging students to consolidate 2 loans into one with lure of 0.25% reduction in interest rate but I am wondering is there a catch to it ? Any input is appreciated.

I am taking my students for clinicals on tele floor and want to know how to guide them....should i hand them their obj thru college syllabus or give them objectives for every day which would help them in their care plans etc. i am thinking of letting...

I agree with Fiona59 :)

You have to analyze why you are failing, what is it that you are missing.may be your way of studying needs direction.

please guys if you are new nurses don't leave jobs so soon, I know floors are very difficult these days but you do need experience. Always start with paper trail. First go and seek help, let somebody know in writing that you need more orientation tim...

first of all being a citizen will be a long process but you'll get rights to work. However, you need to take some board exam so that you get registered in UK too. The most important thing would be getting transitioned in different work area. Working ...

I dont think instructors have to do anything with this. People do come into this profession for money, stability and respect. Unfortunately they do get money but no respect .......and stability........ gets lost by rules and policies of management. G...

patty377 You can hide that you are fired if your last hospital has neutral reference policy but how would you answer the question in job application where it asks you to reply whether u were terminated or involuntarily resigned from last job. It woul...

hospital is business these days and management makes the ultimate decision. There are so many ways to get to a nurse if somebody really wants you out of the facility. Don't be upset, you are not the first one. its intimidating tactics to throw somebo...

I am current student in masters program. Instructors are very helpful and it requires good coordination in group works if you are enrolled in online class. You should also think about different role options in masters program too as to what if you d...

hi canned_bread What advice we can give ? if a new nurse is spotted with new ideas to decrease the load she is the first one to face lateral violence and management's manipulation. There are some good managers who are good team leaders but even they...

Its a very demanding program and you need to have dedication to get good grades. FNP role option is tough to get accepted t to. good luck

its also because nursing unions have members who bow down to management under some pressures. its basic right of every human being to have breaks for meals and sanity but nowadays most of the nurses are struggling with these issues in many hospitals....

to all clinical instructors, how do you give case study to your students. Does the theory teacher provides you anything which comes in course book or you give your own to students to work upon. thanks

Thanks, Yes I am aware of their textbooks but I would prefer giving case studies relating more to students' clinical rotation. Good idea as suggested by you all.

Thanks for your comments friends, I will definitely research :)

Hi klaRN01 i can identify with some of your feelings. its not something new these days except for hourly rate everything changes once you start job on hospital floors. You have to be strong and make use of the degree you got through so much hard work...

Yes California has staffing law but there are ways to work around laws by the hospitals. Sometimes one can be assigned to teams with LVN who can help you but documenting on all 10 pts is your responsibility plus hanging chemo or TPN. Sometimes there ...

i am so happy to be teaching new RN's soon. Unfortunately i would be taking my students to a clinical site where i use to work myself and had to leave because of some persona diff with manager . that manager is no longer manager but she is still empl...

i have heard from many new grads and i have been one too about feeling so fearful and uncertain about going to work everyday. I am new icu nurse so I can understand my fear but why do people dread going to floor sometimes. is it unsafe staffing, cut ...

This is a very delicate situation. Option one may be to do what they tell you and keep smiling all the way in corridors, rooms and break room :) :) and keep doing job as you need paycheck to pay your bills. Also to think that would they really pass y...
