  1. I *do* recognize the need for nursing theory

    1Tulip replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Apologies to GrannyNurseFNP. I shouldn't post when it's way past my bedtime. The ramifications of nursing theories (the good, the bad, and the ugly) are too important for throw away words like bogus...

  2. I *do* recognize the need for nursing theory

    1Tulip replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think we're sort of off the rails here. EBP is related to our discussion of nsg theory only in as much as there is an outside social force (third-party payers, governmental agencies, etc.) that...

  3. I need med help PLEASE!!!

    1Tulip replied to SinfulCNA27's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Go to the pharmacy at the facility in which you're doing your clinical and ask for the package inserts, or whatever packaging it comes in. That will give you the generic name for the drug or, in the...

  6. I *do* recognize the need for nursing theory

    1Tulip replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It was a long time ago, and I hope that academic settings are not as rigid as they were then. (It was kind of mid-70's and Nsg. Theory was the big hot thing. Delores Krieger had just published her...

  7. Pathophysiology!!

    1Tulip replied to Vani's topic in General Students

    Hello Vani: I taught Pathophysiolgy. I suspect if you follow the good advice you've already gotten here, you'll do fine. Just be sure you keep up, don't think you can cram it all in prior to exams....

  8. I *do* recognize the need for nursing theory

    1Tulip replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Kelly the Great gets her say because (1) it's well reasoned and (2) as an undergraduate she has to deal with Nsg. Theory in her curriculum and (3) AllNurses is a completely egalitarian place. OK......

  9. I *do* recognize the need for nursing theory

    1Tulip replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    First of all... I would like to compliment everyone on this thread. I have never heard or read a more robust and honest discussion of this topic. Let me try to respond to GrannyNurse. She has...

  10. I *do* recognize the need for nursing theory

    1Tulip replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    14 guage is absolutely correct. The object of research is to reject the null hypothesis. If you're not doing that, you are not doing science. And likely you aren't doing

  11. I *do* recognize the need for nursing theory

    1Tulip replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    For the record, I have a PhD in one of the biological sciences and have done research for 14 years with a break of 3 years to teach Pharm and Pathophys on the graduate level. I hope to start a job as...

  12. I *do* recognize the need for nursing theory

    1Tulip replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Sad to say, there is no venue where nsg theory could be openly critiqued. It would be nice if there existed a professional journal with the cajones to publish a few scholarly challenges. I think...

  14. Student supervision

    1Tulip posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Yesterday I was "shadowing" a staff nurse on our neuroscience service. She was great, the whole staff was great. I'm going to take a job there. But here is my question: There was a student on the...

  15. Nursing educators- salaries

    1Tulip replied to ginat113's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I have an application in for a tenure track position in a BSN program. I don't know what the salary is (obviously I'll be interviewing them as they interview me...) but I don't expect it to be as...

  16. RN student

    The best three stethoscopes are Littman, Littman or Littman... in that

  17. team work is lacking - what to do?

    1Tulip replied to purseOnalityRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's a tough one. I don't think there's any simple, good solution. What comes to mind is a lot of little things that might help. First of all, you don't want to say to anyone that they have "poor...

  18. I *do* recognize the need for nursing theory

    1Tulip replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I taught in a MSN-APN grad school where they didn't really press nsg. theory but I think that's rare. Guage14iv pretty much states the case. It's a sort orthodoxy to which we all have to swear...

  19. "Foreign" nurse with US education

    1Tulip posted a topic in General Nursing

    So here's the story: A scientist from Korea comes to the US to work. The wife enrolls in and goes through an accelerated ADN program, works her fanny off, and hammers her NCLEX. BUT she can't get a...

  20. Picks Disease

    1Tulip replied to HONEYBEAR's topic in General Nursing

    Picks disease is a fronto-temporal type of dementia. Because the plaques start appearing first in the frontal lobes, it's early symptoms are behavioral rather than loss of memory. As they progress,...

  21. Student supervision

    1Tulip replied to 1Tulip's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I don't know. It's been 15 years since I was a clinical instructor. But it just seems to me that even if I had to put 2 students on one patient in order to keep them all geographically together, I...

  22. Please let me VENT!!

    1Tulip replied to Alibaba's topic in General Nursing

    I've never had my job seriously threatened because I was vocal about worrisome patient symptoms. Which is saying a lot after 35 years of being

  23. Please let me VENT!!

    1Tulip replied to Alibaba's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. I haven't been in exactly this position... but let's think about this. If your patient is failing, they are in a dynamic process. Things are going on. Symptoms will worsen. New ones will...

  24. Fingerprinting process

    1Tulip replied to jayrelic's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I'm pretty sure you can get your fingerprints done where you live. I had to get printed for a CA license and just went to the Reno PD. (And no, they aren't the ones you see on Reno
