2. Radonda Vaught is charging $10,000 per speaking engagement.

   Delia37 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

3. Preceptors for MSN online Educators

   Delia37 replied to never2kerley's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

   For anyone looking from MSN preceptors, I highly encourage you to contact the nursing directors of your local community colleges/universities. That is what I did when my hospital educator left me...

8. Being a nurse of color.

   Delia37 replied to JayKC's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   I agree with the above poster. These interactions (eye rolling and what not) need to be addressed in real time; meaning, when it occurs, pull the person aside and had that conversation. That way, if...

9. False Documentation & Relationships

   Delia37 replied to Curiouscat12345's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   Makes you wonder what else they are doing "as a team". Is there any way they can be scheduled on different dates or far away from each other?? That definitely should be addressed by your manager (not...

13. Discrimination Allegations

    Delia37 replied to Irabee's topic in General Nursing

    Delia37 replied to Aloe_sky's topic in General Nursing

    To answer your question, personally I've never come across this practice (been in ICU for 21 years). I agree with JBM; this seems unnecessary and frankly, very unsafe. The manager and the educator (s)...
