  1. Occurrence In Idaho

    kubivern posted a topic in General Nursing

    To the Moderators, I believe this is appropriate in this forum, but of course I understand if you do not and must remove it based on the forum rules. Fellow nurses, Last week, in Bingham County Idaho,...

  2. Occurrence In Idaho

    kubivern replied to kubivern's topic in General Nursing

    Finally some resolution. The prosecuting attorney finally realized that without evidence, it is pretty much impossible to charge someone with murder, especially when they didn't do it in the first...

  3. Contract Terminated- What should I do now????

    kubivern replied to JRS75's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Given the state budgetary restraints through-out the nation, I do not believe that you will need to provide a tremendous justification for the non-renewal of your contract at a state-funded school - I...

  4. Occurrence In Idaho

    kubivern replied to kubivern's topic in General Nursing

    This should raise all sorts of hate and discontent with nurses world-wide. A jealous neighbor was the accuser in this case. The neighbor has no medical background what-so-ever, but became jealous when...

  5. Occurrence In Idaho

    kubivern replied to kubivern's topic in General Nursing

    Just a brief update: The University where Mi Kel works basically fired her (administrative leave, with a ban on all activities at the University). So remember, in Idaho, watch yourself or you may also...

  6. Would like some information on nurse education. Just started Walden MSN in nurse edu

    kubivern replied to caitiecait's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Sorry to intrude, but your conversation is pertinent to my current situation as well. I work for a College of Technology at a large state University. We are currently trying to set up an equitable...

  7. Help me pls...

    kubivern replied to beans_bale's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The ones that come up most often at the University where I work include: The recession and its affect on the nursing shortage (how it will be worse when the economy improves and all the nurses who...

  8. How is your school of nursing faring in these rough economic times?

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

    ElliShay - we are very similar. We are also at 40 students per year, with 3 full-time faculty and 1-2 adjuncts to cover clinical (when they can). Interestingly, to save money, the University capped...

  9. ISU Fall 2009 online bridge program

    kubivern replied to eurolpn2007's topic in General Nursing

    For the individual that wanted information on the ISU LPN to RN program, I sent you a message with my school e-mail address. I would be more than happy to answer any questions - or direct them to...

  10. How is your school of nursing faring in these rough economic times?

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

    Although our program is much smaller than several of those listed, we are also facing a crunch - 12.5% reduction this year, with an additional 3-7% next year. All unfilled positions have been...

  11. ISU Fall 2009 online bridge program

    kubivern replied to eurolpn2007's topic in General Nursing

    I see that this was posted last month, so I am late. I completed this program in 2006, and actually help out with skills and lessons every once-in-a-while if you have

  12. Med Math and Calculators

    kubivern replied to morahan's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I teach pharmacology and medical calculations, and I do allow my students to use basic function calculators for all exams. Yes, I do realize that there are some situations where calculators may not be...

  13. Interview Scheduled for Practical Nursing Instructor

    kubivern replied to lsutigerrn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    This sounds very similar to my interview for a practical nursing instructor position. I was asked to demonstrate mixing insulin (the cloudy-clear-cloudy routine). As the previous responder mentioned,...

  14. Questions: Designing a new nursing program

    kubivern replied to bookwormom's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    At Idaho State University, both a BSN and a ADN program are run concurrently - the BSN program out of the University proper, and the ADN program out of the University's College of Technology. Below is...

  15. Hesi Exit Test

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

    This certainly seems to be a volatile subject. Our school uses the ATI process, and failure on three tries for the Comp predictor still allows you to pass the program and get your degree; however,...

  16. Should I take CEN w/ minimal experience?

    kubivern replied to SDS_RN's topic in Emergency

    I went right into the ER following nursing school, and passed the CEN a little bit over one year later. I found the knowledge I received on how to pass the NCLEX useful during the CEN exam, and the...

  17. Moving to Idaho. Lpn to RN/BSN programs?

    kubivern replied to eurolpn2007's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry it took so long, but I was off-line for a little while. The classes are mostly on-line, with several days at campus every month. I think it is an excellent program, although slightly difficult,...

  18. Moving to Idaho. Lpn to RN/BSN programs?

    kubivern replied to eurolpn2007's topic in General Nursing

    I am not familiar with their program, but Idaho State University (ISU) does have a Nursing Fast Track Program in Boise, Idaho. It's website (http://www.isu.edu/boisectr/p_bs_nursing.shtml) states the...

  19. CEN exam tomorrow

    kubivern replied to LOVETHETRAUMA's topic in Emergency

    Don't cram, and get a good nite's sleep - does that sound familiar? When you take the exam, relax; read the entire question, and remember your ABCs. I found the questions to be straight forward; I was...

  20. Critical Care University

    kubivern replied to arv's topic in Emergency

    That certainly sounds like an outstanding opportunity. I noticed a link on the web that described a similar (maybe the same) program in Maryland:...

  21. Need advice timing GRE-before/after BSN?

    kubivern replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Take the GRE before your BSN - as the previous poster stated, you are not going to learn anything specific in finishing your BSN that will help you on the GRE other than possibly some vocabulary. Just...

  22. career change to nursing the right choice?

    kubivern replied to Dino's topic in Male Nursing Students

    There certainly seems to be allot of us "oldies" out there becoming RNs as a second career. Like several others, I have spent about 25 years in another field (physics), but decided the lack of job...

  23. Dimensional Analysis as a Nurse?

    kubivern replied to MikeyJ's topic in General Students

    In nursing school I was taught the "dose desired" and "dose on hand" methods, but I have always used the dimensional analysis method to perform nursing calculations. I also used the dimensional...

  24. ISU Fast-track program?

    kubivern replied to Angie_Baby's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure, and the original post is pretty old, but there may be two programs being talked about here. There is the ISU Boise, Bachleor of Science, Nursing Fast Track, Program and there is the ISU...

    kubivern replied to eymilin's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Recalling your initial work experience after graduation from nursing school, what was it like to be a new nurse? I started working as a new nurse (not too long ago) in a rural acute care hospital,...
