    DNP vs EdD

    elizabeast7 replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    As a student in an Ed.D. program with a heavy emphasis on research, required research hours, and a dissertation I'd like to contest this statement. I think it wholly depends on the program. That's the...

    New Grad Residency Orientation Schedules

    elizabeast7 replied to FNP2B1210's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am located in Virginia, so not specific to your area but all of the new grad residencies I am familiar with are full-time day shifts for at least a few weeks. After the initial training/orientation...

    New Grad RN Resume Advice Needed!

    elizabeast7 replied to _Cecilia_'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think the only thing I often recommend to new graduates is to include any experiences with EHRs on your resume. Otherwise, this looks good to me. We do have our students put their specific hours,...

    elizabeast7 replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I replied to your other post, as well - but wanted to say hi again in case anyone else clicked on this and wanted to chat! I am currently enrolled in the EdD program for nursing education at TC...

    DNP vs EdD

    elizabeast7 replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am actually enrolled in the EdD at TC Columbia. Like you, I did not want to waste my time getting a DNP because I felt it would not teach me things I needed to know and would be doing something for...

    Studying for the CNE exam

    elizabeast7 replied to Skips's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am also studying for my CNE (scheduled in Sept) and on the advice of my chair and other faculty have not paid for the full content. I have read Billings and the NLN review and have been doing the...

    New Clinical Instructor Getting Organized

    elizabeast7 replied to HiddencatBSN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    That's very exciting! Congrats on getting into clinical education. I try to stay on top of everything as best as possible. I have binders for my sections - and depending on what I'm doing I have...

    PhD or DNP to become Faculty?

    elizabeast7 replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    In my experience, EdDs are not preferred in academia. There are very few EdDs in nursing itself. The one other faculty I know who has hers has her MSN and then an EdD in secondary ed - so the terminal...

    PhD or DNP to become Faculty?

    elizabeast7 replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    The vast majority of my fellow faculty have DNPs due to affordability and availability. There is also one EDd and one PhD. Most of the DNPs focused on management in lieu of getting a clinical...

    How is your Skills Course Organized?

    elizabeast7 replied to morrissey fan's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    We also have a simulation session with the students in which they must enter, apply PPE, obtain vitals, and do a pain assessment. This serves as a mid-term skill exam for us. We are introducing...

    Scanning in the supply room

    elizabeast7 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Greetings! Our hospital has supply rooms set up for each unit with a scanning system. We are routinely not scanning, and thus not charging for supplies. Hypothetically, staff will sign into the...

    College HELP

    elizabeast7 replied to jesslopez16a's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure about other schools, but at the one I teach the transfer students still do three years of nursing classes. I will say it's easier, and still saves you money to complete your prerequisites...

    I forgot that I was supposed to be faking it...

    elizabeast7 replied to hazyblue's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I spend my breaks alone. I have for five years. I got some snarky comments at first - my favorite being "To make friends, one must appear friendly". But I explained to them that I'm introverted, and...

    2 yrs of experience, non-acute, but haven't gotten any call backs. Pls evaluate my resume!

    elizabeast7 replied to chiflavored's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I like to bullet my cover letters. It helps get the info across in a less overwhelming way and is easier (and faster) to read for the nurse

    elizabeast7 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello! We host an annual research day at my hospital to promote learning, evidence based practice and to show everyone what projects have happened, are happening or are in the works. We usually do a...

    Underperforming Employees

    elizabeast7 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I need to vent!! There is a CNA on my unit who continuously falsifies documentation, leaves the unit and is overall a negative force. I have previously made official complaints about her. The worst...

    what's your pet peeve?

    elizabeast7 replied to chacha82's topic in General Nursing

    So many good ones already listed - including bringing children. We frequently see toddlers walking teetering around barefoot, putting their mouths on tray tables and IV poles. I know we've talked...

    Driving REALLY far for an interview?

    Scanning in the supply room

    elizabeast7 replied to elizabeast7's topic in General Nursing

    Woah! Thank God flushes are not included in the list of items that are supposed to be scanned. That would never be done. That sounds like an unrealistic expectation! We are supposed to be scanning...

    Scanning in the supply room

    elizabeast7 replied to elizabeast7's topic in General Nursing

    I like the idea of putting the larger items in the Pyxis. I think that would work best for our unit. We've joked about putting a camera and mic in there and having the HUC watch them. Then she could...

    New area for me

    elizabeast7 replied to Tanacious's topic in General Nursing

    Hello! Are you asking what the patients are like? I work on TMS. My patient group ranges and can include cardiac, post op and then general med like pnu. We don't have separate halls or anything - we...

    Scanning in the supply room

    elizabeast7 replied to elizabeast7's topic in General Nursing

    Another great idea! Thanks. Rose Queen - I'm sorry you feel your facility is that way. I really don't feel that way about mine. I mean, of course, there are discussions on budget and money but as I...

    Scanning in the supply room

    elizabeast7 replied to elizabeast7's topic in General Nursing

    That's an interesting thought. We are actually beginning a process to develop a new charting system. Currently, the system we use for the supply room and the charting system are totally different but...

    Scanning in the supply room

    elizabeast7 replied to elizabeast7's topic in General Nursing

    Most of their answers are similar to mine. I am a staff nurse - we were discussing this in our last staff meeting so I thought I'd post and see what other facilities do. Rose Queen - I agree. Health...

    Most Embarassing Nursing Moments

    elizabeast7 replied to Jessiedog's topic in Nursing Humor

    Oh, and once I saw a call light so I popped into the room. It was an obese middle age woman who said she needed help going to the bathroom. So I aid her in standing, and she walks pretty steadily to...
