  1. Online Nurse Educator Programs???

    barb4575 replied to OBRN24/7's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Hi Vicky, I suspected that is what you would want me to do and I am not recruiting for the college. You know how it is when you find a great thing in life and merely want to share it? That is this...

  2. Online Nurse Educator Programs???

    barb4575 replied to OBRN24/7's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Hi Vicki, I just sent you a private message updating you on my life as a Director and Nurse Educator. I have missed you and the educator posts here, but couldn't seem to make the time to have some...

  3. Online Nurse Educator Programs???

    barb4575 replied to OBRN24/7's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I do have some bias in regard to online nursing education at the baccalaureate and graduate levels of education. I can say that Walden University has offered me the best education I have ever...

  4. Requirements to enter Nursing School

    barb4575 replied to Burlington's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Hello Burlington, I recently made decisions about this in our community college leadership and will share what was decided. We discussed interviewing and decided against it mainly due to the ability...

  5. Best route to become a professor

    barb4575 replied to reznurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Hello Reznurse, I would have to disagree with some of what has been posted here thus far. I am certain that becoming a NP would be beneficial for that role and the money/autonomy/respect are just...

  6. RN's in the Ozarks

    barb4575 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have asked about SMSU's program, but no response. Are there any nurses who live in the Ozark area who could recommend an academic RN program or hospital in the area? I love this area of Missouri...

  7. Uses for Expired Bottles of Saline Irrigation

    barb4575 replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Marie, Have you thought of donating them to a nearby nursing school? Equipment and supplies for skills laboratories are extremely expensive and any donations would be much appreciated by the nurse...

  8. Southwest Missouri State University

    barb4575 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have reviewed their website and it appears that they are coming up for CCNE accreditation in April 2004. Their generic BSN program appears new. As an educator, I am wondering if there are any SMSU...

  9. MO Rehab in Mt. Vernon

    barb4575 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone have any experience with this institution? It is owned by the University of Missouri Health Care systems. The campus is beautiful, but if it is within one-half hour of Springfield, why...

  10. Nurse Educator Opinions

    barb4575 posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Well, here I sit after having given two lectures on: Nursing Process and Cardiac plus one two hour review...I have given the test to the foundations class and the spread looks good. However, I can...

  11. MO Rehab in Mt. Vernon

    barb4575 replied to barb4575's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the feedback and I think Mount Vernon is a beautiful area too...I live near the AR border too and I love it even better. We are on Table Rock Lake-trying to start that retirement in our...

  12. Tips for New Nurse Educators

    barb4575 replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I don't have any statistics to offer you Sapphire, but I also was educated at the advanced practice level twelve years ago and education was cheaper as you well know. One thing I can advise you is to...

  13. Tips for New Nurse Educators

    barb4575 replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    For me, it is easier to develop the course from scratch and continue to improve it each semester. It usually takes two years to get it where I want it, but that depends on the course too. It is a...

  14. Why isn't Indiana joining Compact?

    barb4575 replied to Town & Country's topic in Indiana Nursing

    The Board did email me and stated that this compact law did not pass in April. I know I read that it did either online or through their newspaper they sent to my home. I am very appreciative of...

  15. Why isn't Indiana joining Compact?

    barb4575 replied to Town & Country's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I wrote them and if they behave typically, they will respond after I move. The state I am moving to believes they are a compact state. What a mess. Thank you so much,

  16. Indiana State University online LPN to BSN program

    barb4575 replied to Ms.RN's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Well, I heard they were going to start a program like this, but I thought all they had right now was a BSN program. They lost their ADN program to Ivy Tech..strange, isn't it?

  17. Why isn't Indiana joining Compact?

    barb4575 replied to Town & Country's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I plan to use my Indiana compact state license to work in another state in approximately one month. It is my understanding this was passed in April in the State of Indiana. However, I agree they are...

  18. Nurses' Agricultural Education Project

    barb4575 replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I have written to Dr. Reed because my research interest should be most appropriate to this project. I will confirm this with her of course. One thing that I have found in my career as a RN is that...

  19. CCNE vs NLN Accreditation

    barb4575 replied to richkundrn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Since I am originally from Kansas, I must say I am highly surprised that KU has chosen not to be NLN-accredited anymore. I guess my Dean may have been onto something when she claimed that last year....

  20. NLN: Nuts and Bolts Technology Conference

    barb4575 replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I think many nurse educators are behind other educators in regard to technology. This would be an excellent seminar if the poor educator could afford it...but, perhaps some programs would pay for...

  21. CCNE vs NLN Accreditation

    barb4575 replied to richkundrn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Last year, we had the CCNE accreditation and my Dean had stated that today, this is valued more in education than the NLN. They will go before the NLN for accreditation again next year. I am not...

  22. Nurse Educators, Introduce Yourselves!

    barb4575 replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I can't think of another person who would be a better moderator for this forum. I do know in the past year, this Nurse Educator forum did little to assist me with my role as nurse educator. Rarely...

  23. Private Messages>>>>New Castle Ken

    barb4575 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ken, I was not aware that the inbox only stored so many messages. You had responded to one of my messages and it was not sent to me. This site sent me an email stating that you had attempted to...

  24. RN's in the Ozarks

    barb4575 replied to barb4575's topic in General Nursing

    Well, the faculty position at Southwest Missouri State University was filled, so I am looking at other schools and nurse practice jobs in the Springfield area. Regardless, as soon as this house...

  25. Southwest Missouri State University

    barb4575 replied to barb4575's topic in General Nursing

    Erin, Thank you for your reply. I am sending my CV to them this weekend, so hopefully I will hear some good news back soon. I reactivated my MO RN license and I can't wait to move back to Missouri....
