  1. How many times can you take the nclex

    Tim-GNP replied to Guest26407's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    As many times as it takes to pass. I know one woman who has been taking them faithfully, twice a year since

  2. On-Line Adult Critical Care Course at IUSON

    Tim-GNP posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Greetings all! I am debating about taking the on-line Adult Critical Care Course through Indiana University School of Nursing. Has anyone heard of this course? Has anyone taken this course? Let me...

  3. Any one from Wilkes-Barre area?

    Tim-GNP replied to lizmatt's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I live in the Pocono's... less than a half hour from Wilkes Barre [alright, about 20 minutes, depending on how I drive]. Nice to meet

  4. Co-workers think I'm crazy for doing this

    Tim-GNP replied to ImaEMT's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Deaconess is NLN accredited as well as Regionally accredited. Therefore, it doesn't matter if the nurses at your hospital 'like it' or not. The only program I found is the RN to BSN program, I am...

  5. LTC Rant - Call Freaking Report!

    Tim-GNP replied to BrandyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with TracyB--- I also see Brandys point. I guess working in both LTC and acute care, I have seen both sides. I have sent resident's to hospitals with fully intact skin and received them...

  6. Which Boards?

    Tim-GNP replied to NoleNurse2000's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Depends on your specialty... I took the American Nurses Credentialing Center [ANCC], because it was the only one available for Gerontological Nurse Practitioners. I believe that most other...

  7. Education Interventions to Pass NCLEX

    Tim-GNP replied to barb4575's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I can't remember... I think it was in the most recent issue of Nursing Education-- there was a fairly well done study that discussed preparation for NCLEX. I can't remember the entire content of the...

  8. Nurse Educator Opinions

    Tim-GNP replied to barb4575's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I know it sounds like a dreadful analogy... but the more you think about it, the truer it

  9. staff development certification

    Tim-GNP replied to jhin's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Jean--- are you an NNSDO member? I was considering it.... but I am just not sure. I wonder if they are very 'acute care' only oriented, or if they balance between various staff development

  10. Nurse Educator Opinions

    Tim-GNP replied to barb4575's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    First of all, not all students will become a nurse. It is not meant for everyone. I look at myself as having a duty to society. I am saying, by passing the students to the next level that they meet...

  11. would you still be a np if you had to do all over again???

    Tim-GNP replied to salvati08's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No... I would not. But unlike those who post in the general forum, I have done something about it.... moved myself to ultra part-time. I love being a Registered Nurse--- not an

  12. PhD vs. ND

    Tim-GNP replied to CRNA teacher's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I think acceptance of the ND is up to the invidual college/university considering offering you tenure. Most advertisements for nursing faculty usually read 'earned doctorate from an accredited...

  13. Male nurse kills 40 patients...what do you think?

    Tim-GNP replied to jdm33351's topic in General Nursing

    Tell your husband to tell people the same thing I do... when people say "oh... you're a male nurse?" I reply "no, I take care of the ladies, too!" : ) I didn't even know about this until my nightly...

  14. Masters in nursing education

    Tim-GNP replied to LuvsOB's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I have my Master's in Nursing Education--- I think it has been very beneficial to me. Unless we make a conscious effort [i.e., through education], we tend to teach the way we were taught... which may...

  15. preceptor programs

    Tim-GNP replied to webcrawler's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Greetings!!! I love preceptor programs!!! How are the preceptors rewarded??? It is based on budget, usually. You can give PTO for each orientee that they precept that stays 6 months-- this is good...

  16. staff development certification

    Tim-GNP replied to jhin's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Funny you should post this now.... I just learned on Wednesday from the Chauncey Group [the people who give the exams for ANCC], that I passed my October 18, 2003 examination in Nursing Professional...

  17. When did we become???

    Tim-GNP replied to Dave ARNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I guess in this thread, I am just the 'odd ball.' Which is OK, I tend to be the odd ball in most threads. I call my collaborating MD 'my doctor' and he calls me 'his nurse practitioner.' I don't...

  18. Do Nurses Need Chemistry Education?

    Tim-GNP replied to Dr. O's topic in General Nursing

    Where I teach, we have decreased the chemistry requirement and added Physics in it's place. I agree that chemistry is needed to comprehend the basis of drug therapy, but the powers that be decided...

  19. smoking students

    Tim-GNP replied to vickynurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    My students get one break- 15 minutes for every 4 hours of clinical time. If the clinical rotation is greater than 5 hours, they get a 1/2 hour rest period. My university does this in accordance...

  20. When did we become???

    Tim-GNP replied to Dave ARNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    MD Terminator... Just curious... how long have you been an

  21. ADN NP's...?

    Tim-GNP replied to Dave ARNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Perhaps... much ado about nothing... The AMA would never stand for this. Physicians have a hard enough time coping with NP's educated at the Master's level. Since MD's are more organized than nurses...

  22. Quit nursing school due to head games.

    Tim-GNP replied to BioRN's topic in General Students

    BioRN: This strikes a nerve inside of me. I was once told back in the very beginning of my nurses 'training' by a clinical instructor: "I don't like the idea of men in nursing, and men don't become...

  23. Nursing Summaries

    Tim-GNP replied to netrn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The nursing summary should be done monthly. It should serve as a method to evaluate the plan of care [that is, you should write the narrative based off of plan of care goals, as to whether or not the...

  24. med pass observation

    Tim-GNP replied to nursenel's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree with the concept, but not the way it is handled by your facility. The entire thing should be VERY positive and educational. The entire thing should be a reciporcal learning experience....
