Regardless of what they thought, they did not coddle us. Not sure what they thought about others, but I was the nerdy type. Very eager to learn. Top of my class. I'm different from many of my peers though. My parents were black and of the Sil...

We actually do! We have class participation which includes coming to class on time. FOR DOCTORAL STUDENTS AT THAT! Waking up is too stressful and causes anxiety ❄️ A reward is required 🫤🤫🤔😞

Heaven knows some parts are boring and tedious. Surprisingly, there are people with more knowledge, experience and authority. Who'd have thunk it possible? LOL

Somehow they don't understand that habits build character.

Yes, I agree it may be time for some to retire. When they do, we will have to adapt again to an even larger shortage of educators. Things have to change across the board. My background sounds similar to yours, except I loved my RN program and thriv...

I have my DNP. Starting my PhD. This will be my topic of research. How dO we change to Fit their needs? Do WE need to change?

Problem is that some students learn from lectures. Some Want to be there to hear you speak. Others do not. Some of my lectures are boring, I know it and there's nothing I can do to change it without someone complaining unfortunately. I have to rem...

Feedback given to In my end of semester feed back, I was that they didn't want to think it through. They just wanted the answer. Sad but true.

I'm not a boomer and I feel like I'm their parents. I'm Gen X. This students are... something.

In my short year in education, I've learned when you hold them accountable, administration over rules you or make you work so hard to justify your grade. It's almost a no win situation, and these nurses will be taking care of us all.

My first year in and I'm giving it one more. We support them in everything, but who supports us.

I just want to say. I feel like everything I do is wrong in my new job. I wonder if I'm fit as a nurse educator. I feel like I'm walking on eggshells all the time. Did any of you feel this way? I've never had to be so extremely professional...

Know ACLS. Know CCRN stuff. Know your ICU drugs and experiences. Be active in your unit committees. Don't bs the bs'ers. Be yourself We know you look good on paper, how do you do fit as a person. Are you teachable?. Do you have a life outside of ...

I'm 3 years into this Anesthesia profession, and I couldn't ask for a better gig; however, I'm bored. I currently work in a hospital with great people and stupendous benefits. Unfortunately, I really hate sitting behind the curtain for hours on end. ...

I am happier than I have ever been! It’s not about the money. I’m teaching anesthesia and I have my DNP now. I absolutely love continuous learning and students. I still work clinically, but not everyday. I’ve taught ADNs, techs, and CNAs. I’m tr...

I am teaching full time. Suits my family needs and allows me much more flexibility. Pay could be better, but quality of life is more important.

No I don't speak for all, black people. Heck, I cannot even speak on behalf of some of my willingly unvaccinated family members. I do speak as a minority person. I don't care if you are part of the minority or majority, get vaccinated. I...

Oh goodness. Don’t go here please. Back to COVID and vaccines. No politicization.

Oh OK. Gotcha. Disagree with you totally and completely, but I understand the words you are typing on this post.

Help me understand what you mean about the minorities please. Are you referring to minorities who choose not to be vaccinated or those who do not have access to vaccines (the latter group should be mon existent). Maybe the undocumented who are afra...

Well. I have done anesthesia for abortions and removed patients from ventilators when my colleagues refused. I now refuse to participate in elective abortions but support the right to choice. Thank you for your selfless and enduring care for our fe...

Yeah. I understand that segregation is bad in most situations. In the case of preventing the transmission of disease, perhaps we could reconsider our position in order to save lives? Only temporarily. We do it for people with TB, acinetobacter, an...

The. Please make sure that you start your posts off addressing it to those with 30 Years of experience and 2 masters degrees. Obviously my 16-17 years of experience, 2 bachelors, 1 masters and soon to be 1 doctorate isn’t enough to have a conversatio...

So you’re telling me you've never refused an assignment based on your personal beliefs?

Yes. We are talking about segregation of sorts. And please, I’m black so this whole minorities are disproportionately affected means nothing to me when they choose not to be vaccinated. Im talking about your CHOICE to be unvaccinated. Again, somE ...
