Hello... I am currently a nurse educator with an LPN program and I cannot wait to find myself another job. I cannot get over the amount of low quality students that are admitted, and the degree of bad behavior that we are expected to put up with. ...

I actually find the opposite to be true. I am going to have much more respect and a better working relationship with the person asking questions and taking accountability. It is the people who cannot accept criticism or blame others for their mista...

This sounds very familiar to my current situation although I am not working bedside. While I do not encourage you to quit nursing altogether, I would suggest that you allow yourself to find a place where you feel valued and supported. Many managers...

Yes, dudette. This exactly. Our program was just in probation in 2017. Our NCLEX pass rates are right around 60% right now, yet we continue to push through students who have shown us repeatedly that they are not up to the task. As you said, these d...

I actually make a pretty decent wage. I do believe it to be more than many other faculty jobs (even the knew new director thinks so lol). But honestly, I would not even mind the lower wage if we had quality students and actually spent our time teac...

I was recently contacted about a job opportunity at a long term nursing facility. This organization is prevalent/popular in my area, so I am somewhat familiar with them. I do not have any real opinions about the facility, but I have heard negative ...

Hello... this is likely going to turn into a venting session for me, but I am honestly wondering if everyone's experience working as nurse faculty is similar to mine. I teach in an 11 month LPN program. I have been doing this work for approximate...

Greetings.... So, I have a situation currently that I have never experienced before. I am actively seeking a new job (non-bedside, leadership type positions) and have been fortunate enough to be invited to interview for two that I applied for. Howe...

Good morning, I teach in a full time nursing program and two days out of the week, we are in clinical at the local hospital. The students are given 1-2 patients in which they are expected to perform a head-to-toe assessment, complete AM care, and to...

Go to shethinx.com. You're welcome. :)

I feel like I am doing everything! Lol

"In my ASN program, we showed up to the hospital the night before and chose appropriate patients for the next day and spent all of that time on our clinical paperwork including on care plans and med lists info during that time." Unfortunately, this ...

Hello, and thanks for your reply. The students are in the chart searching for information to help them complete their paperwork. I have done as you said and "laid down the law" about computer time, but it continues to happen. I have restricted th...

I am an LPN instructor in Pennsylvania and in my experience, RNs absolutely love working with LPNs. I get nothing but praise about my students in the clinical setting and each of my students have a job before graduation. As others have said in previo...

Hello... I am a full time instructor in a nursing program. A few months ago, we were forced to dismiss a student due to behavior. Recently, I found that a co-worker, one who assisted in this student's dismissal process, is friends with her on Face...

I am by no means monitoring anyone's Facebook page. The situation was brought to my attention by another student.

Thank you for the replies. I agree that Facebook is Facebook and much of it can be taken with a grain of salt. However, as professionals, I also believe there are boundaries when it comes to students. This particular student, when dismissed, did no...

Don't crap where you eat.

Hi Michelle, I am just seeing your request. I would have been more than happy to help you. Glad to hear everything worked out. Good luck!

The WEA program is no longer being offered.

Are you in the greater Baltimore area? Which hospitals have you been applying to?

In my experience with endorsement, I usually get a temporary license first which is then followed up with a permanent license a few months later. I did not have to do anything, it just seems to be the way it is done. My home nursing state is Maryla...

You are able to complete the program at this school and sit for boards as long as the school is approved by the BON, as previous posters have stated. However, if you have plans to continue your education, I would strongly suggest a school with an ac...

I almost hired on with them but passed after spending a "share day". I find it to be nothing but a sales position. Yeah, you give vaccines and you educate people on why they need them, but they also want you to push all of these other products like...

I am teaching in a LPN program and will be welcoming a new class next Monday. I would like to come up with some type of orientation/introduction game or activity to kind of break up the monotony of what will be a long day of sitting and listening fo...
