   Hello! I might be a little later to respond but I have some thoughts... I just completed my second year teaching full time. I have encountered a similar experience in regards to not being prepared for class. Some do the readings and are eng...

4. Does your school credit students for prework before lab/sim as lab/sim hours?

5. Does your school credit students for prework before lab/sim as lab/sim hours?

   kfynn589 posted a topic in Educators

   I have heard mixed things about this! If students are assigned a module prior to coming to lab/sim then do they get credit for completing the module? Say if they spent an hour prepping for lab and then 3 hours in lab do they get credit for 4 lab hour...

7. Gullible?

   kfynn589 replied to NightRNDayInstructor's topic in Educators

   Those teachers who "warned" you are violating FERPA laws and are acting unethically. You should not have a predisposed biased against your students - which is what they are setting you up for. If they were cheating in class that behavior should be ad...

8. Has anyone taught a respiratory therapist in their class?

   kfynn589 replied to EMT1's topic in Educators

   I agree with the previous posters. My experience has been mixed. Nursing approaches healthcare from a different point of view and sometimes students with experience can struggle with the transition. If you are open than you will be fine. Just know th...

    kfynn589 replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in Educators

    Congrats on the new job! I would say whether or not the education specialty is "worth it" is very individual. I was deciding between NP vs ED. I tried out teaching adjunct and new that is where my passion is. I pursued my MSN in education and am...

11. Students must be "passing" class to attend clinical

    kfynn589 posted a topic in Educators

    I am looking for some faculty perspective on this thought.. I have been teaching for about 8 years now (adjunct and then full time) in various roles. Recently a thought crossed my head.. students who have a grade average below 60 should not be a...

12. The problem with Some new nurses

    kfynn589 replied to princesscoronado's topic in Relations

    I do not see at all how this is a new nurse issue. I have worked with plenty of nurses that have the attitude that you described. However, the worst offender had been a nurse for 30+ years. Definitely not a new nurse issue but an issue of SOME nur...

    kfynn589 replied to mugs's topic in General Nursing

    I have flushed them many times.. with an order of course. Our policy is to disconnect, clean with alcohol wipe, flush, clean, reconnect. (The very simple version). You will need to check with your policy.. I am surprised some facilities don't do i...
