  1. Education Interventions to Pass NCLEX

    barb4575 posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am curious what other educators are doing specifically to prepare students to pass the NCLEX. There seems to be some conflict regarding whether the BSN faculty want to teach students to critically...

  2. Hesi Exit Test

    barb4575 replied to CSLee3's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I do not like the HESI exams other than to be used at the end of a semester course for remediation. I questioned their statistics because the majority of the students failed their HESI exams (course...

  3. RNs in Joplin/ Springfield Mo area / Agencies

    barb4575 replied to ISeeURN's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with you, Amy in regard to your comment about Crown Nursing. Don't try to verify your employment with them either because they have lost your employee

  4. Patient Advocate

    barb4575 posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Once again, I am being faced with a crisis involving patient advocacy. I am employed as a RN BSN faculty member and one of my clinicals is on a Med-Surg floor. I have witnessed so many unsafe issues...

  5. Teaching professionalism?

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

    I agree with you, llg. I would never make such an assignment, but if the students are upset about it--it does need to be addressed. Like I said, postconference is also a debriefing. Often times,...

  6. Teaching professionalism?

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

    Cholli, Those are terrific ideas for a postconference and I will remember it. In my clinical postconferences, we have always discussed professionalism because it is a debriefing time as well. There...

  7. Help!!! Schools Owner and my new LPN program

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

    Hello Spyder, That is precisely the problem, the owner knows that you put so much into writing that proposal and curriculum that he doubts you will walk away. When you do get students, it will be...

  8. Determining faculty clinical competence

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

    Hi llg, I was wondering if the hospital director has spoken to the director for the college about these issues? There may be much more to the story than you are all aware of--I do agree with the rule...

  9. Determining faculty clinical competence

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

    llg and Vicky, I agree with all of Vicky's suggestions. I also know that a thorough agency orientation is necessary and if the agency doesn't provide it, this becomes the responsibility of the...

  10. Determining faculty clinical competence

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

    Hey Vicky, I was worried that you would take offense to my post and I am happy that you did not...afterall, we are both educators and employed in the same state. I do know that what llg is saying is...

  11. Determining faculty clinical competence

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

    llg, I do understand your concerns and they are valid. This is where I believe nursing education and practice need to come together. We all know that the real problem with the nursing shortage is...

  12. Determining faculty clinical competence

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

    I agree with this idea, llg, but I think many educators would take offense to it. Of course, if they did react that way, this would be a grave concern too. The problem is: many of the instructors do...

  13. LPN Program in Illinois

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

    Hi Peg, I think you will do very well in this position and I wish you nothing short of success! I was referring to whether or not the college had the money for the start up. My wage wasn't bad for...

  14. LPN Program in Illinois

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

    Hi Spyder, Congratulations on getting your proposal approved! Wow, what an accomplishment. I did not do that part, but took over before the students arrived. It was an ADN program-two branches, and...

  15. 3 yr ADN ?

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

    Hi Vicky, I have not heard it called a 3 year ADN program, but I have seen many ADN programs with a three year curriculum. Many request or encourage the applicant to take as many general education or...

  16. PhD Nurses

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

    llg, Written and explained perfectly. I enjoyed this post, thank you!

  17. Best route to become a professor

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

    Yes, the DNP is a clinical route, but I don't know that much about it as I believe it is new. My graduate program's curriculum prepared everyone as a CNS and then, we chose another track. I was...

  18. Best route to become a professor

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

    Scribblern, It is my understanding that if you want to obtain a clinical degree, the EdD is the best route. For me, I want a pure education degree because I know what the nursing degrees are all...

  19. Pharmacology info

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

    I think when they have to write their own med cards, they learn them better. I asked that they categorize them by classification in an index box. It is a lot of work for them, but they seem to learn...

  20. Tips for New Nurse Educators

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

    I wanted to recommend a text ISBN 13: 9780803614024, Career Success Strategies for Nurse Educators. It is a superb discussion of the faculty member's role in academia. One of those books that you...

  21. Any PhD Students Out There?

    barb4575 replied to JaneyW's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi Janey, I am a doctoral student and this is my advice: I do not think that one should go directly from the MSN, regardless of the avenue of online or not being online coursework, to the PhD....

  22. Teaching Evaluation Tool

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

    I realize that this is an older post, but wanted to share something here. While in my graduate program for my MSN, I wanted to do research on instrument development. I can say that I was discouraged...

  23. Best route to become a professor

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

    Hi again, Trauma, Yes, I do think you have a very valid response here. I can say that I have hired FNP's who are excellent educators and they did not have any educator experience or nursing graduate...

  24. Online Nurse Educator Programs???

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

    Hi TraumaRS, I am so glad to hear this as I had some friends who graduated from there and they don't seem to be having any issues getting positions. She received her MSN there through the educator...

  25. CCNE vs NLN Accreditation

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

    Light, I think you are absolutely right about the differences in NLN vs. CCNE for the different levels of education. Yes, many programs have decided not to do NLN at the BSN level due to expense and...
