1. Professional, yet honest interview answers?

   TheOracle posted a topic in General Nursing

   I recently separated from a clinic job of 2+ years that I loved and an employer who had promised certain positions and responsibilities to take effect when I finished my BSN, which I have now done. The only thing that we couldn't finalize was a salar...

2. Didn't Receive paycheck

   TheOracle replied to TheOracle's topic in General Nursing

   As I said in my original post, I lack perspective when it comes to this and I can understand where you're all coming from. I appreciate the feedback. I'll take all measures on my end (including auto deposit) to ensure something like this doesn't happ...

3. Didn't Receive paycheck

   TheOracle replied to TheOracle's topic in General Nursing

   I see your point and I agree; however, I'd be less apt to be irritated if in the past when I haven't been available on payday my check was just left with one of the other nurses or on my desk - most frequently on my desk. Also, I work every Saturday ...

4. Didn't Receive paycheck

   TheOracle posted a topic in General Nursing

   I need some perspective please! I work as nurse for a privately owned clinic and paydays are every two weeks on Friday as set forth in the handbook I was required to sign when I started. Well, this past Friday I had a class run long (my class was a...

5. Concierge Nursing

   TheOracle replied to miropp's topic in Entrepreneurs

   That sounds very similar to a midwife; not a bad idea, but I would think that even if it falls into the scope of practice in your state, you would need to be able to prove your expertise to potential clients with certifications, experience and the li...

6. Best Ideas for Facilitating Self Management?

   TheOracle posted a topic in Endocrine

   Hi everyone! At the clinic I work in I am the primary educator for our diabetics. I work with the newly diagnosed and "veteran" diabetics alike as well as organize and teach in a monthly diabetes education/awareness program we host at our clinic. ...

7. Appropriate age to stop using vastus in children

   TheOracle posted a topic in Medications

   Hey guys, I've done a search and can't seem to find a satisfactory answer to a question posed to me. One of the medical assistants in the general clinic I manage approached me with a concern about an LPN's pediatric IM technique. The MA said she obs...

8. Surviving a passive aggressive co-worker?

   TheOracle replied to TheOracle's topic in Relations

   Thanks guys! I appreciate the input. I don't hover over this MA any more than the others. My observation that she is abrasive with the patients is merely my own and hasn't been shared with her. I find it odd that she gets no shows into the clinic, bu...

9. Are men respected by Doctors and colleagues in this field.

   TheOracle replied to BigDiesel's topic in Relations

   In my experience, I've found that some people don't pay any attention to gender, while others focus only on that one aspect. You'll run into men and women both who will see you as whatever stereotype they've been programmed to see you as. I've worke...

10. Surviving a passive aggressive co-worker?

    TheOracle replied to TheOracle's topic in Relations

    Ladies and gentlemen, people, humans -whatever is not an offensive term: what I said would be no different from my "woman" boss saying I'm her "boy" or "guy" or calling me "her" medical assistant or "her" RN except that in this case I happen to be a ...

11. Surviving a passive aggressive co-worker?

    TheOracle replied to TheOracle's topic in Relations

    I appreciate the advice everyone! I feel the need to weigh in on the question of my "professionalism" in referring to the female gender as "girl." As the only boy in the clinic I am automatically set apart from the others. They group themselves toget...

12. Need some advice. I hate my job!

    TheOracle replied to MommyMmf's topic in General Nursing

    You should address to yourself why you hate your job. Cause you might end up with another you hate. Also - if you don't apply for jobs because you're afraid they'll pass you by then it's not pregnancy that's affecting your ability to get another job,...

13. Surviving a passive aggressive co-worker?

    TheOracle posted a topic in Relations

    Just scanning through the forums I can see that all of us have at one time or another had to deal with a difficult personality at work. I wanted to put my situation out there and see if I could get some feedback on how I'm currently managing a situat...

14. Pharm Sales Reps? Where to find them?

    TheOracle posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey Guys, Just started working with a new FNP who is flabbergasted by our lack of visits from drug reps, etc. in our urgent care/primary care clinic. I have to agree. We've been open over a year and have 1 regular who doesn't really do that great of ...

15. Not-so-friendly coworker..how do you deal with it?

    TheOracle replied to CharleeJo.RN's topic in Relations

    Agree with above. Just be yourself. It's really strange because being a man I'm usually very popular where I work. It blows my mind the number of women I've worked with that will openly say how much they hate working with women. I currently work with...
