    Unsolicited Advice From A Preceptor

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Izzy11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As the OP and some commenters have said, it is a sad state of our current professional environment that we actually need to say these things and they are not simply understood. I completely agree with...

    How do you address nurses with a PhD?

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to SWGOH's topic in General Nursing

    In the academic setting, as a graduate student I always call my teachers "Dr. Soandso" or "Professor Soandso" but they almost always ask me to call them by their first names (and after that time I...

    CNA's in a NICU setting

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to milliemack15's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I don't work in the NICU but it seems from the other posters that the positions don't involve much direct patient care experience. I would say that if you're interested in working in the NICU in the...

    Dr. told patient, "Nurses are STUPID".

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Daetwin2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you for the point of clarification. You are correct that a few programs still remain that only offer the BS option but my understanding is that they are dwindling in number and the vast majority...

    Dr. told patient, "Nurses are STUPID".

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Daetwin2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I find these posts very interesting. Some folks are making valid points (not engaging in name calling, passive-aggressive tactics, and confronting the offender directly and professionally) but others...

    Upset with delegation

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to lovaza's topic in General Nursing

    At first glance of your post I though it isn't uncommon to see nurses fill in as a CNA/PCT when you have plenty of nurses staffed but not enough ancillary personnel. Personally, I would be more than...

    Called a code for a seizing patient

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to thesimplenurse's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP, as you mentioned you are a new nurse and you get the gist from these posts that calling a code was fine but starting CPR wasn't appropriate in this situation. Don't beat yourself up over it...

    Terminated

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to sdugan07's topic in General Nursing

    This seems a bit off topic from the OP and I don't want to spin this off into another discussion entirely but.. If you view nursing school as "just an undergrad" and seek to immediately go into an NP...

    Which is More Effective in Treating Obesity?

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Empire Chick's topic in General Nursing

    This is an interesting examination of the available literature on this topic and a good read. Just so I am clear on this, the article you are posting is actually the reposting of an evdience-based...

    Confessions of a Clinical Instructor (CI) - Part I

    cjcsoon2bnp posted a topic in General Students

    Let's face it, no one ever made millions off of being a nursing clinical instructor (CI) or entered nursing academia for the glitz or glamor. Most people become a CI because they are (a) passionate...

    Confessions of a Clinical Instructor (CI) - Part I

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Students

    I was in an online program for my MSN in Nursing Education and I really enjoyed it. I did not decide to go through an online program for my Post-Master's Certificate in FNP studies for a few reasons....

    Confessions of a Clinical Instructor (CI) - Part I

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Students

    Thanks for sharing your experience! I will say that it highly likely that these adjunct faculty members received insufficient orientation, especially if the classes are in an online format. Online...

    Wannabe MDs in Accel Nursing School

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to AlmostANurse321's topic in General Students

    I appreciate that you don't have that attitude and you recognize that how your classmate(s) are behaving is wrong. As someone pursuing the NP route with a post-graduate certificate, I have never...

    Quitting a job without another lined up

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Soliloquy's topic in General Nursing

    I think thank if you can get a PRN position on your unit you will be a lot happier and in a better place financially and will allow you to keep up the experience. I went from full-time to PRN at my ED...

    Quitting a job without another lined up

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Soliloquy's topic in General Nursing

    I find this very interesting, the OP had adult med/surg. experience and managed to land a NICU position (not easy for someone who is an experienced nurse but doesn't have any NICU experience) and now...

    Why Can Pre-Med Students Know Their Choice But Nursing Students "Can't"?

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    Awesome post! I am not a NICU guy (definitely was interested but didn't fight hard enough for it) but I am happy to see that as a nurse educator some of my general comments are validated by a NNP in...

    Why Can Pre-Med Students Know Their Choice But Nursing Students "Can't"?

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    That drive and willingness to do anything to get into the specialty you want is commendable (in my opinion). Many new nurses say that they want **** specialty and are determined to find a job in that...

    did any of you share your first job offer on Facebook?

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to mixtapern's topic in General Nursing

    I have mixed feelings on this... I have a LinkedIn profile that lists who my employer is and I make sure to keep all of my posts professional and since LinkedIn is a professional form of social...

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to ohiosam2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was once a nurse manager of an inpatient psychiatric/mental health unit and when I took over the job I was told that in addition to the nursing staff I was the manager for the single NP. I asked the...

    Wearing scrubs at the gym??

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to phieud's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I can understand the OP point about how sanitary it is to wear scrubs to the gym when working out and personally I wouldn't wear scrubs to the gym to work out. With that being said, I wouldn't have...
