11Alive’s Post

Can I share with you about the amount of LIFE I experienced today? Texas Nurses Association was invited to participate in the Cruising through Careers event hosted by Workforce Solutions. Approximately 1,000 7th grade students from Georgetown ISD came to us in a very small room, 70 students at a time, to learn about our #pathway to #nursing We were surprised by the amount of engagement in our discussion. I shared publicly for the first time to a large group about my personal experience with #homelessness and #hunger as a child and my colleague Jamie Roney Hernandez shared about her military experience as a nurse. The last lesson we shared with them was about the universal sign of choking and about chest compressions. While we would never expect them to be proficient in #cpr we did expect them to see one tiny part of what we do. Let me tell you….THEY LOVED IT! It might have been my rendition of “Staying Alive” or “Star Wars War Drums” to help them understand the tempo to take with #compressions but they were completely interested and engaged. (It also might have been the bribe we made of candy) Here were just SOME of the questions 7th graders wanted to know about nursing: -Is being a nurse stressful? -What if they die? -What do you do if someone has AIDS? -What types of shifts and hours can you work? -How can I become a nurse? -How long does it take to become a nurse? -What is the difference between a doctor,doctor and a nurse doctor? The #futureofnursing is upon us and I am both excited and nervous. My friends, we still have work to do to make our profession whole again before these 7th graders join our profession as early as 2030! What are you doing RIGHT NOW to make our profession better or stronger? What are you working on to make our profession the most welcoming place for our #futurenurses ? I’m feeling full of life seeing the excitement of young minds navigate their own pathways and I hope you are too! #nursesonlinkedin

Exciting News! Northern Arizona University College of Nursing at the Yuma campus, a Sensis partner, is offering the groundbreaking Compressed Bachelor of Science in Nursing (CBSN) program. This initiative aims to address critical workforce shortages in the community by presenting an accelerated path to a nursing degree in just 16 months, compared to the traditional 30-month duration. This program signifies a significant shift in nursing education, highlighting NAU's commitment to tackling pressing healthcare needs. Additionally, it provides scholarship opportunities and fosters partnerships with key healthcare institutions, further demonstrating their dedication to community well-being. In conjunction with this milestone, it's noteworthy to recognize a positive trend: the increasing number of Latinas pursuing higher education. According to Axios Latino, the share of U.S. Latinas with a four-year college degree has nearly quadrupled over the past two decades. This trend underscores the importance Latinas place on higher education as a pathway to high-wage jobs and financial stability. Let's celebrate this progress and continue supporting initiatives that empower communities through education and opportunity. ¡Arriba Latinas!

Why do Nursing students resit their examination 💔? Who is to blame for these failure 😔? These questions flooded my inquisitive mind when I heard the percentage of students who are to resit for their exams on the first day of class. Throughout the day's lecture,each lecturer that steps into the classroom receives their share of cold 🥶 stare from students, myself included 😂. However,after months of knowing the school,its lecturers, enjoying each class, I found out that the school and students blame each other for the failures and congratulate each other as well. The school blames students for not using the resources provided for them, students blame the school for not providing enough resources. From my own perspective,I wouldn't blame the school in general because students have a big role to play to ensure they pass their exams. Resit Examinations hit harder than anything. About 70% of resit students have the mindset of having fun now to study later while the rest of the students might have problems with the courses and don't know how to solve it, problems with lecturers and personal problems as well. The question "WHOSE FAULT" still needs answers. #nursing #nursingstudent #nursingschool #edostatecollegeofnursingsciences

Last session was memorable for me. School is fun. Except for numerous tests and examinations, of course. One course that stood out was Nursing Ethics and Jurisprudence. I wondered what connection nursing had with law too. But this course was an eye opener. From learning about consent and the implication of informed decision-making to medical negligence and malpractice, I truly learned. The scenario-based interactive class discussions, being introduced to interesting legal jargon and the lecturer's manner of questioning that felt like we were in a mini-court was the highlight for me. At some point, I was considering being a nurse attorney or a path in forensic nursing. Combine nursing with Annalise Keating's eloquence (in How to Get Away With Mu*rder) and they won't see me coming. When I had the opportunity to be in an actual court hearing for the first time in November, my brewing drive for law died a natural death. It felt nothing like what I saw in the movies or experienced in class. While I didn't expect it to be all jubilatory, I never expected it to be funereal either. I'd like to know. Is there a reason courts are this way? Pin-drop silence, barely hearing whatever the judge perused and all... Or this only happens in the court hearing I experienced. Anywho, it's a new session and hopefully, my final. Pumped up with anticipation for new knowledge in the class room and actually applying them in the hospital and other volunteering experiences I get. I look forward to sharing them all with you! Because I care, Halimatu Abdullahi 24th January, 2024. #limahcares #nursesonlinkedin #nurses #learning

Most students have heard of the SAT or ACT as a part of the college admissions process, but you may be unfamiliar with the TEAS. Nursing students readying to start their degree may encounter additional requirements before they begin college. Here's some more helpful information to help you out. #teastest #teastestprep #college #collegelife #nursingstudent #highered https://bit.ly/3SdiJX5

The education attainment gap for care leavers is well documented and, sadly, it only widens with age. In 2021, it was found that just 6% of care leavers in England were in higher education, compared to 37.9% of the entire 18-year-old-population starting a full time undergraduate course in the same period. Care experienced young people deserve better, and that's why new programmes like this are so important. The University of Roehampton has launched a new programme designed to make healthcare careers accessible to young care leavers. The I-CAN programme will run as a 12-month pilot scheme supporting care experienced 18-to-29-year-olds through a paid learning pathway. Upon completion of the scheme, participants will have the option to partake in the University of Roehampton’s full time and salaried Nursing Association apprenticeship programme. https://lnkd.in/efPn6vzN #CareLeavers #CareExperienced #Nursing

It is important to recognize the importance of programs like this one as ventures to promote and protect our nursing population. https://hubs.la/Q02h4Yw60 #LPN #NursingNews #earnwhileyoulearn
