  1. Why is it so difficult to find an APN who is willing to serve as a preceptor? They know what it is all about and they know a clinical experience needs to be done by all of us. This is so frustrating.

    Amy Beth, this is great that you posted this here. What an excellent idea!
  4. I looked up their website on the internet and emailed them. There must be a group in your area and you can click on the "contact us" link that most have. Then email them your request.They will want to know a little bit about you and what are you are ...
  5. Snow- at what point do you call out?

    Mixed emoptions about this one. I live 40 miles from work. I usually plan on extra driving time when the weather forcast is bad. I have spent 3 hours on the road going to work- and made it there on time because i left early. I and many other co-worke...
  6. 16 fired for HIPAA Violations

    Considering we are not even allowed to look at our OWN medical records, what made them think they could look at someone elses? I think if they were that "concerned" they should have visited her. Curiosity killed the cat...there is a reason those old ...
  7. I posted a request for a preceptor in the online newsletter for Nurse Practitioners. I did get my preceptor, who is wonderful, from this posting.
  8. To elkpark, this will not be my only clinical. My MSN is in adult health.
  9. Hi Chris2732, I called every hopsital in the area and spoke with the director of staff development. They could contact all the NP and CNS who worked in their hospital. I also called and emailed the state Nurse Practitioner association and they sent ...
  10. To Chris2732, I did find a preceptor on Thursday. I will be working at a Diabetes Clinic which treats primarily adults. I will be learning how to regulate medications for blood sugar control and hypertension. I start on Wednesday. I already teach nur...
  11. To Chris2732, thanks for the link. I intend to make myself available as a preceptor for grad students after I graduate. I already have it planned out. To elkpark. There is no liability for the preceptor unless the preceptor makes a mistake. I am an R...
  12. Momma, Who Are Those Children In My Room?

    To ru4rns- I know that you must realize the Holy Spirit was there with you and guiding you in your interaction with this woman. It is unfortunate that there are so many Catholics who do not understand that through their belief in Christ as their Lord...
  13. Momma, Who Are Those Children In My Room?

    You don't have to imagine that he was, you can be assured of it.

  15. Nursing Me Black

    Excellent. I wish people would stop concentrating on the minor things that make us different when there are so many things that make us alike.
  16. Millionaires on nursing salaries

    As I contemplate my massive debts and the 54 hours each week that I am working to try to get out of debt, I long for the day I can retire, but I doubt I will. I would bet that I will not leave here unless it is in a body bag. I hope I have my bills ...
  17. I got written up and it's bringing me down

    I would write more about what it takes to be a nurse, but I have to get ready to go TEACH A NURSING CLINICAL. Hey, maybe I could just email them all and tell them what I did at work yesterday. That would save me 80 miles of travel and 8 hours of time...
  18. I got written up and it's bringing me down

    I take great offense to this ludicrous post. I don't care how much I talk about my job and what I do at work with my family/friends, they could not do what I do, nor can anyone who sits in an office and has never provided patient care. I guess, in yo...
  19. I got written up and it's bringing me down

    Unless you injured a patient do not let this bother you. I have been a nurse for 26 years and I cannot even remember how many doctors I have upset, and had complain about me because I didn't have their ego on the forefront of my attention. Actually, ...
  20. Did I Make a Big Mistake?

    Hi RNLauren05, You did not mention what hours you work or how many days per week. I worked nights and afternoons for 13 years while my kids were little. My husband also worked the day shift. If you are waking up when he gets home, then you are seein...
  21. Clinical evaluation of nursing students

    Your institution must have guidelines for evaluating clinical performance. If not, then approach it as you would a patient care plan. What behaviors do you want the students to demonstrate (goals/objectives)? Make these specific and measurable. Docum...
