  1. Can Someone Be a Nurse Without Jean Watson??

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    Karen, I was waiting for you reply with some links to info! I vaguely remember Jean Watson from undergrad, but since learning about her now in grad school it helped me to remember some of her ideals....

    Renee, That was an excellent post.

  3. are doctors more valued then nurses?

    Q. replied to brown rice's topic in General Nursing

    I think doctors are more valued by administration and hospitals because they bring in money, whereas nurses are seen as expenses. I also believe that because nursing is still, and most likely always...

  4. Hospital pays for education?

    Q. replied to TootyFruity's topic in General Nursing

    The clinic in which I worked paid for ONE class per year. The Medical College (my new job) pays for ALL my tuition. I think that is somewhat

  5. does giving a suppository count as a med?

    Q. replied to kookyscientist's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, a suppository counts as a med pass. What's the maturity level of these nurses? They ask you to give a suppository and then giggly, giggle about it? What the

  6. Somebody Probably has access to YOUR License Number!

    Q. replied to meandragonbrett's topic in General Nursing

    Every employer I have been at has wanted an actual photocopy of the license. They periodically check the website to see that our fee was paid if we don't have the license in hand (for renewals ONLY)...

  7. RN Clinical Teacher- no teaching experience?

    Q. replied to Genista's topic in General Nursing

    I just thought this needed repeating. I never said that having more degrees = better teaching ability. I simply answered the original thread of why an ad was placed for a nursing educator position...

  8. RN Clinical Teacher- no teaching experience?

    Q. replied to Genista's topic in General Nursing

    An MSN in nursing education will give a dedicated, enthusiastic nurse who loves to teach the TOOLS to excel. I LOVE gardening, but without at least some theoretical concepts in botany and forrestry,...

  9. RN Clinical Teacher- no teaching experience?

    Q. replied to Genista's topic in General Nursing

    Having an MSN doesn't qualify one to teach either. Ask Tim GNP (if he's still around) there are alot of concepts that should be taught to prospective educators that aren't. Bottom line, I believe if...

  10. RN Clinical Teacher- no teaching experience?

    Q. replied to Genista's topic in General Nursing

    Well I've had horrible experiences from excellent clinical nurses, like I've said, who were unable to verbalize their knowledge in a meaningful way to a new student. All I could do was possibly...

  11. RN Clinical Teacher- no teaching experience?

    Q. replied to Genista's topic in General Nursing

    It's not about hiring someone only with "teaching experience" but hiring a *qualified* nurse to do so, ie someone who has been taught how to teach. I have been precepted by excellent clinical nurses...

  12. RN Clinical Teacher- no teaching experience?

    Q. replied to Genista's topic in General Nursing

    I think it simply reflects the shortage. There is also a shortage of qualified, Masters prepared nurses available to teach. I agree, bedside experience (recent) is very valuable when teaching,...

  13. Allnurses.com history?

    Q. replied to OBNURSEHEATHER's topic in General Nursing

    Brian, Interesting history. Of course, I had to share the information with my hubby; I feed him tidbits here and there, usually when you upgrade or when your server dies from too many users. It was...

    Q. replied to nilepoc's topic in General Nursing

    My facility (on Tuesday, well after I emailed our IS department asking for A LITTLE recongition on our intranet) handed out a long stem beautiful rose to each nurse and provided bagels and juice....

    Q. replied to nilepoc's topic in General Nursing

    Here Here! To me, if a manager refers to her staff as "whining", then that tells me she really isn't listening to their concerns and certainly isn't advocating for them either. Just as she stopped...

    Q. replied to nilepoc's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse's Day came and went at my employer without a peep. The silence was deafening. But... my fellow nurses and I enjoyed a delicious catered lunch from Olive Garden that we bought and coordinated...

    Q. replied to nilepoc's topic in General Nursing

    And, my two cents. My job ends when the clock strikes 12; meaning, when my shift is over, I go home and LIVE MY LIFE. First and foremost I am a woman, a wife and daughter; and I was all those things...

    Q. replied to nilepoc's topic in General Nursing

    There is, apparently in April - a doctor's day. We joked with the physicians and asked, "isn't every day Doctor's Day?" I don't want trinkets, but I also don't want Nurse's Day to get turned around...

  20. Foreign recruitment of nurses-thoughts?

    Q. replied to flopmingale's topic in General Nursing

    I am against the use of foreign nurses to "fix" the nursing shortage. Throwing bodies at the problem will not motivate the hospitals, AMA, or the ANA to massively change things within health care and...

    Q. replied to nilepoc's topic in General Nursing

    Which is why my clinic doesn't observe Nurse's Day, which, by the way, is a National Holiday. Apparently the MAs were offended. I say, MAs can have a day too - but let the AMA desiginate it, seeing...

    Q. replied to nilepoc's topic in General Nursing

    We are gettin' JACK from admin, as we wouldn't want to offend the MA's at the clinic. So our small group of triage nurses in Internal Medicine are giving OURSELVES a catered lunch from the Olive...

    Q. replied to tmf1202's topic in General Nursing

    Thisnurse: Labor patients require alot of monitoring that most Medical nurses aren't skilled or familiar with - ie EFM interpretation. Most obstetric nurses take at least a year to become competent...

  25. ob to med surg

    Q. replied to tmf1202's topic in General Nursing

    This can be a very sore subject. I never worked Med-Surg in my life and went right into obstetrics as a new grad. My particular unit had a closed unit policy, where we didn't float to other units and...
