   Is it reasonable for Nurses to be fired who "ran away" from work during the pandemic?

   PatMac10,RN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in COVID

   I can understand why we might feel resentment, at first. This things has altered many of our life’s both at work and outside of work. If we practice emotional intelligence it helps us see that, while we are free to be mad at whoever, it doesn’t make ...

   It seems like you are making a lot of assumptions and assuming to understand folks situations that may have informed their LOA. I notice you also use quotations when am saying called on “sick” and that leads me to believe you already make assumptions...

   PhD or DNP to become Faculty?

   PatMac10,RN replied to adventure_rn's topic in Educators

   But that is changing, and as highlighted, having a PhD doesn’t mean you will have much formal education in how to be an educator. There are schools out there who offer a PhD in Nursing Education and not just nursing in general, but they are on the mi...

   PhD or DNP to become Faculty?

   PatMac10,RN replied to adventure_rn's topic in Educators

   I have the same question as I finish my MSN in nursing education. There is a desire to create more educator tracks for DNP programs. AACN and NLN have both mentioned that utilizing both PhD and DNP prepared faculty in the academic and clinical traini...

   What's the real deal with Travel Nursing?

   PatMac10,RN replied to PatMac10,RN's topic in Travel

   True Ned. Phil's first "sentence" was probably meant to be a transitional or prepositional tool, yet he presented it as independent, though woefully incomplete, sentence. A very good example of how we are all imperfect and how we all see things diffe...

   What's the real deal with Travel Nursing?

   PatMac10,RN replied to PatMac10,RN's topic in Travel

    ADN or BSN: What's the Big Deal?

    PatMac10,RN replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I believe that Places of employment and organizations that refuse to hire ADN nurses should think about this. They are the ones supporting this "propaganda". In many areas of NC, ADN nurses can get acute care jobs like anyone else. Every ...

    ADN or BSN: What's the Big Deal?

    PatMac10,RN replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Preach! I am all for higher education, but that "study" has so many flaws that I saw upon critiquing the article for a program during my ADN program. Although I don't think the BSN is just about money, I do believe money is a factor. I think it is im...
