  1. For all you instructors out there...

    organichombre replied to chinacatSN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    As a clinical instructor for 4 years I feel that I am diligent in pursuing those who are not doing the work, to make them better. Students are not going to rat out other students unless they feel...

  2. Tips for making the clinical day better for students.

    organichombre replied to StudentNurseJourney's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I've been an adjunct clinical faculty for 4 years now and I'm just now getting a grip on how to handle situations where staff and students don't mix. I have found that it's not necessarily that staff...

  3. Nursing Shoes - Mens

    organichombre replied to hzjet's topic in Men in Nursing

    SAS San Antonio shoes-they come in bone, black and white. All leather with a washable insert. Very comfortable but get ready for the "gay shoes" comments from the macho men. I've worn them for 20+...

  9. Not giving PRN's even though they are ordered?

    organichombre replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    I think you answered your own question. We are not doctors but unfortunately we have to be the gatekeeper sometimes who will tell the docs to do their damn job! An old

    Get ready to work your ass off! Make sure your technique is good for iv's, ngt's, f/c's, etc. Find a mentor there who is honest with you and ask all the right questions! Learn to delegate you...

  11. Pros and Cons

    organichombre replied to FutureRN618's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I worked as an LPN in a prison for about a year on the weekends as what they called a medication aide. Frankly I was more concerned about the staff than the inmates! One positive aspect about...

  12. Bellarmine accelerated BSN program

    organichombre replied to flygirl80's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you! Bellarmine's accelerated RN is very demanding both physically and emotionally. The 7 week semesters are a killer and you have very little down time so take advantage of it. Bellarmine...

  13. Galen College not accredited? HELP

    organichombre replied to BrittBritt's topic in General Nursing

    organichombre replied to Kmolss01's topic in General Nursing

    While you did not mention more specifics I can hazard a guess as to why your 2nd experience was better. First off you probably knew more about this program by looking deeper into what was offered and...

  15. Is nursing right for me?

    organichombre replied to Kbb0907's topic in General Nursing

  16. Nursing in the next 10 years

    organichombre replied to linguine's topic in General Nursing

    Except for the LPN's who were already onboard, hospitals will be staffed with RN's and some sort of nursing assistant. Our patient to staff ratios will fluctuate greatly dependent upon who you work...

  17. Considering being a nurse instructor

    organichombre replied to bewell2's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I have been doing part-time clinical instruction now for 4 years in a BSN program with both traditional and accelerated students. These students have two different personalities and needs. I'm nervous...

  18. Spencerian students reinstated

    organichombre replied to organichombre's topic in General Nursing

  19. Anyone in the spring'10 bsn program at bellarmine

    organichombre replied to kalpana1978's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure of their graduation rate but I imagine some 10% either drop into the traditional program or out completly. The professors are excellent, most of them have worked in the field so they are...

  25. Spencerian students reinstated

    organichombre replied to organichombre's topic in General Nursing

    Well in this instance the school had violated a written contract with the students so they had no leg to stand on. Unreasonable deadlines are a subjective measure that the school can manipulate to...
