  1. Chamberlain or De Vry?

    CraigB-RN replied to mommy2boysaz's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I'd say neither unless you just looking to put your degree to work. In most of these programs your not actually doing any teaching. The programs are prepackaged and your grading papers and making...

  2. How do you teach nursing theory?

    CraigB-RN replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    The whole purpose of this interdisciplinary concept is to try to instill team work. Putting a foley in is the same if your a RN, PA, MD or whatever. Wherever possible like things will be taught...

  3. How do you teach nursing theory?

    CraigB-RN replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I don't think theory is completely useless. (although a few of them are pretty far out there) i'm just not sure of their utility in the way we teach it now. As a teacher I enjoy the challenge of...

  4. How do you teach nursing theory?

    CraigB-RN replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am going to admit right up front publicly that I"m a cynic. Those some people who can't think conceptional about something or grasp those higher level skills, are the same people that don't "get"...

  5. How do you teach nursing theory?

    CraigB-RN replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Some of my thoughts on Nursing Theory come from my background. My father is a PhD Occupational therapist. My wife is a PA, One of my best friends in a Dentist, another of my friends is a PhD...

  6. How do you teach nursing theory?

    CraigB-RN replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Most of my 20 soothing students don't have the tools to equate themselves. I'm of the thought that theory should be a graduate level subject. Wasted on a 20 yo

  7. ABC TV:NY Med shows ER nurse fired due to social media post

    CraigB-RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    I wonder what the predominate age of the Katie Duke followers are. I've been doing this for over 30 years and my whole response to NY Med was "MEH". I don't get it. I was working at Hopkins when...

  8. TNCC 7th Edition is a Soup Sandwich!

    CraigB-RN replied to bodhisattvya's topic in Emergency

    Another thing to keep in mind, the target audience. Alphabet soup courses really aren't geared toward people who have focused practices like trauma. This includes ACLS when you work in bigger...

  9. TNCC 7th Edition is a Soup Sandwich!

    CraigB-RN replied to bodhisattvya's topic in Emergency

    The answer to that is probably going to be the definition of a trauma patient. Is a trauma patient, every patient that comes into the trauma bay or ED after having a accident. No. In TRAUMA...

  10. "Flipped" Classroom?

    CraigB-RN replied to Episteme's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Not having well thought out compressive objectives is one of the drawbacks on education, no matter what's involved. Whether it's underwater basket weaving 101 or critical care concepts. I dont teach...

  11. "Flipped" Classroom?

    CraigB-RN replied to Episteme's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I'm going to definitely disagree. People do learn that way. It's a waste of time to stand up and lecture for hours. why not spend that time in simulation, interacting with the students, doing...

  12. Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome

    CraigB-RN replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    Usually one of the key diagnostic signs is they have been to mayo clinic or the like and had the million dollar workup with no sig

  13. Respiratory Therapists Inserting PICC Lines

    CraigB-RN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Your going to find that whenever someone is perceived to be encroaching on someone else's turf, the circling of the wagons response is instinctive. The interesting thing is the same arguments that...

  14. Difference in NP & PA roles in the ED

    CraigB-RN replied to danielletardio's topic in Emergency

    The scope of practice for both is roughly the same. When you take into account individual state differences they are the same. The difference is more facility based and the level of the ED. Both can...

  15. Respiratory Therapists Inserting PICC Lines

    CraigB-RN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Not so much belittling but hyper inflating a role. When that happens, most us pretty much stop listening. When ever ego's get involved it gets interesting. When you actually take the time to...

  16. Respiratory Therapists Inserting PICC Lines

    CraigB-RN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    On an educational/discussion note it's interesting that different boards have chosen to interpret things differently. The FL society of Resp therapy is on record for interpreting the ASA (American...

  17. Respiratory Therapists Inserting PICC Lines

    CraigB-RN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    You have the luxury of being in a place that has 24/7 IV team access and what sounds like an active PICC program. In your environment, it prob wouldn't be effective. In other locations thought,...

  18. Respiratory Therapists Inserting PICC Lines

    CraigB-RN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    You do realize it hasn't been called JACHO for years. When you post on public boards like this, you take the chance of coming across people who might actually know more about a subject than you do,...

  19. Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome

    CraigB-RN replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    Yeah it's possible, but hard to DX. It's up there with the abdominal migraine

  20. Respiratory Therapists Inserting PICC Lines

    CraigB-RN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Trolls are trolls, no matter what the board. It's always interesting to see the ideas that get dredged up. Ones that are easily debunked witha few keystrokes on google. Having been a surveyor in my...

  21. Respiratory Therapists Inserting PICC Lines

    CraigB-RN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Wow. Sounds like a text book definition of a turf war. Both sides acting like they are experts in the others fields. First respiratory is only part of their profession. Cardio pulmonary is the...

  22. Anyone who has used McKesson?

    CraigB-RN replied to leekun2010's topic in Nursing Informatics

    Issues with McKesson 1. You get what you pay for 2. It's geared toward collecting data but not so good about giving it back. 3. Blank sheet. It's a general purpose EMR that is trying to...

  23. Why APA vs AMA style?

    CraigB-RN replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Of course adding insult to injury. Journal that requires APA style, doesn't use DOI. So I have to manually enter the information into citation manager. so far 100% of non nursing journals have used...

  24. Why APA vs AMA style?

    CraigB-RN posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    As I reformat another paper for possible publication I wonder again, why APA for academics when professional publication uses AMA format. According to the educators I've talked to, that's one of the...

  25. Why APA vs AMA style?

    CraigB-RN replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Endnote rules. Yeah I can't imagine even attempting it nowadays with nothing but a stack of index cards and an IBM selectric. I've tried Papers, Mendelay but keep on comming back to
