1. How old is too old to become a new RN?

   2nurse2teach replied to CathyH's topic in General Nursing

   If this has been your dream, then absolutely go for it! I've had students in my ADN program who have decided to go back in their 50s, and they've done just fine. Nursing school is tough, but you are...

2. Keeping students engaged during clinical

   2nurse2teach replied to emarierau's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

   This is the question of the day! I teach OB, so we periods of downtime depending on the census of the day, and I also really dislike seeing students standing around (as do the nurses and staff!)....

3. Slander by a student. What would you (or your school) do?

   2nurse2teach replied to 4th Act RN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

6. Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

   2nurse2teach replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

   As a "head instructor" I would want to know, is this a skill/medication you were supposed to know? If so, and you weren't prepared, it would warrant a warning at minimum. My advice would be to hit...

   2nurse2teach replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

   Oh, my. I had no idea anyone had looked at my post :)! Study groups are different. Working together to help each other understand material or prepare for an exam usually enhances learning and would...

8. Where are all of the holistic nurses?

   2nurse2teach replied to PaleoNurse's topic in Holistic

   I am a certified women's health NP, and working as ADN faculty for the past 7 years. I am interested in moving into (or developing) a functional medicine/holistic type practice. What did you do for...

9. what do you say to friends who want to copy

   2nurse2teach replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

   Weighing in from an experienced nurse/nursing faculty of view. Say no. Sharing work that should be your own definitely qualifies as academic dishonesty (cheating) and both giving and receiving help...
