  1. I so agree with you. Many students are reluctant to take responsibility for their own learning and blame anyone but themselves when they dont do well. These students are really difficult to help, because they expect someone other than themselves to d...
  2. Actually, it is not our job. The instructor facilitates, but the student is responsible for the learning. Alarmingly, many students have the attitude that it is our job, and those students often do not do well because they do not take responsibility ...
  3. Current Walden University Students

    I have only taken the first one hour class. I start my first course, legal aspects of nursing, or something like that, in March. What did you think about that course? I like the cirriculum. It is truly tailored to the nurse educator. Some of the gra...
  4. Current Walden University Students

    I am starting in March 09. How is it so far? I am in the education tract. How about you?
  5. Current Walden University Students

    Hi, I am a nurse educator and am preparing to begin the program in March. Anything you could tell me would be appreciated. Thanks a million, Deb
  6. Thesis or not

    Im not sure I clarified myself. She is working on her PhD in nursing. The student is responsible for doing the actual research and work, but they may hire the statistics or numbers done.
  7. Thesis or not

    Another thought: My friend is working on her doctorate and they are telling them to hire someone to put together the research. They said that professionals hire it done.
  8. Thesis or not

    I agree that extensive research doesnt seem to fit into a masters program. I agree that we should be able to find and interpret relevant research, but as far as doing it, no. I believe a project or some other novel approach would be better. Is anyone...
  9. ON-line NP programs

    It is Indiana State University at Terre Haute; that should bring it up for you in a search engine; if it dose not, let me know
  10. ON-line NP programs

    I am enrolled in university of Indiana online. It is 100% online. It is very reasonable priced per credit hour; the best deal I found and it is NLN approved. The courses are rigorous so it is a good program
  11. Singer/Actor/Athlete Pay vs. NP Pay

    Thanks, its good to hear other opinions. Helps you think in a different light and see other sides of issues.
  12. graduate school for nurses

    I am only taking one course at a time as well. I am torn between education and FNP tracts. I am presently teaching in a junior college, so I know I love teaching, but believe I would like the FNP as well. My school is univ of Indiana online. I am v...
  13. Singer/Actor/Athlete Pay vs. NP Pay

    I agree with many of your points. It only takes one wrong "lift" to alter a nurses career as well. In many cases, our back is our earning potential, especially for nurses who choose to remain at bedside.
  14. Singer/Actor/Athlete Pay vs. NP Pay

    I dont see why not. The state of Missouri just requires a masters in nursing. It doesnt specify what area of nursing. I would think a CRNA would be very qualified to teach in a nursing program.
  15. graduate school for nurses

    I would love to participate. I am enrolled in an online MSN program. I found one other student who is attending Indiana State Online Nursing Program. Are there any others? Do you know of any good online programs out there? Would like to hear fro...
  16. Searching for Nurse Practitioners in Missouri

    We have several in the bootheel of missouri. Dont know how far that is from you.
  17. Singer/Actor/Athlete Pay vs. NP Pay

    My hero is mother Teresa of Calcutta. I am working on a masters degree in nursing. I practice in rural missouri
  18. Singer/Actor/Athlete Pay vs. NP Pay

    It says what we value as a country. Sports heros are valued more than nurses and doctors who can save your life. I work in a college nursing program and the sports programs get more press/money than the nursing program does.
  19. nursing shortage? nursing schools full?

    yes, that is a good point. The students are mostly the ones who didn't make it in the other program. We will have to wait and see how they fare and if it affects our NCLEX pass rate. keep you posted.
  20. Lexapro

    yes, i take it right before bedtime and in about 30-45 minutes, wake up drenched with sweat. It seems like what a hot flash would be like. initially, I would experience ''waves" of nausea, but that has passed. otherwise, i cant tell that I have e...
  21. nursing shortage? nursing schools full?

    I teach at a community college associated degree program and we recently added a night program, doubling our capacity. it is very exciting. it is true that the pay is not good. our students will start out making more than i do as new graduates, bu...
  22. Shocked and angry. Need new job.

    i am an RN who actually had bariatric surgery in 2001. i know everyone is different, but i would think it would be an exciting place to work. it is a new beginning for these patients. we dont have a bariatric surgeon in our area, otherwise i would...
