    Nudity in healthcare classes education or violation?

    Episteme replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

    Wow. Would not happen at our school. Finding the deltoid for an I.M. (Not giving it... just locating the site) maybe. Hands, feet, OK. Definitely practice BP's on each other. But no! No nudity...

    He is "quiet and withdrawn". Does he speak at all or is he totally non-verbal and if so for how long? He's a little old guy curled in a fetal position and his limbs are stiff. Is his movement...

    Clinical drama-question about personal property

    Episteme replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    These people own you. That is to say, you are on alert for the disrespect so you can respond to it. That's a kind of slavery and you're the one keeping the shackles on... and every episode of...

    Do you think Nurses will be replaced by technology one day?

    Episteme replied to giraffe4's topic in General Students

    The only people who will fight for nurses are nurses. You're the next generation. I hope you're as effective as we were... Yes, we responded to the HMO debacle of the 1990's with solid research on...

    How to use the nursing process

    Episteme replied to Nursing pursuit's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Nursing care plan

    Episteme replied to 2016New's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Why do you feel like a failure when you write a nursing care plan? Do your care plans, in fact, receive failing grades from your instructor? What does your instructor tell you about your care plans?...

    I am not sure what you are asking. Are you asking about how a student's knowledge of the nursing process is probed with test question? Are you asking how the nursing process is taught? Are you...

    Episteme replied to Asadel's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What Grntea said. Students make a couple of mistakes that are very, very common. 1. They try to pick the diagnosis and not MAKE the diagnosis. 2. They look at the patient and focus on the most...

    Should Nurses help Doctors in Physician assisted suicide (euthanasia)

    Episteme replied to Caleb12's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    And coming from a state with a robust initiative process, I think the "people" screw it up every bit as badly as do the pols. Well, there is that. Still... I would hope that we (professionals)...

    Episteme posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    1. Have you flipped your classroom? 2. If so did the students cooperate by doing the pre-requisite study? 3. What % lecture vrs. student directed learning do you employ? 4. When you instituted...

    Should Nurses help Doctors in Physician assisted suicide (euthanasia)

    Episteme replied to Caleb12's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Slippery slope. I don't want economists OR politicians getting in to this realm. It should be the patient and his/her

    Episteme replied to Episteme's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    "Flipped" Classroom?

    Episteme replied to Episteme's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    A normal classroom is where the students come in, maybe having read the material or not, but they get a content heavy lecture. Then, they take that content, study it (with or without textbook...

    Episteme replied to amandax's topic in General Students

    Episteme replied to Caleb12's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have always gotten the heeby-jeebies, skin-crawling, nauseous feeling whenever politics enters this realm. Nothing good can happen from it. However, political leanings aside, I think we view...
