  1. 62 Years Old - How do I get started in private duty nursing?

    feelix replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Full-time home health will pay as much as a hospital. You will, however, have a lot of stress with schedulers chasing you all day and pressurising you to see more and more patients. Then keep 1.5 to 2...

  2. Limited as an LPN

    feelix replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Get your RN license asap then get hired in the area. It would be better for you whether you become a NP or not. Getting hired as a tech is no guarantee they will hire you in the area as an RN. I think...

    feelix replied to JenTheSchoolRN's topic in School

    My understanding was school nurses are not allowed to extract anything from a ear. Check with your nursing

  4. I hate nursing

    feelix replied to Neezy84's topic in General Nursing

    I have been there, done that. Had to drag my feet to the hospital job every night and start the shift in deep depression. It was a horrible depressing, vile hospital. My way of dealing with nursing...

  5. Asked to Teach Clinical but Won't Train Me First

    feelix replied to heartsgal's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Handed in my last clinical assignment and walked away. I was hired to work in the 'best nursing school' in my state. Was excited and looking forward to teach. The faculty had one meeting in which we...

  7. Are There Jobs for Inexperienced RNs Besides Floor Nursing?

    feelix replied to jack1971's topic in First Year After Licensure

    First of all, you and your husband need to go for counseling. There is no need to bash a family member when they are down. I am glad you realized floor nursing is not for you and got out. That is...

  8. First Angry Call

    feelix replied to FreckledCoffeeRN's topic in School

    Must have been another time. Now the parents would be storming to ask why was the child sent home without shoes. I had given out boxes full of clothes to kids who peed in their pants and they were...

  9. First Angry Call

    feelix replied to FreckledCoffeeRN's topic in School

    I actually had letters ready by diagnosis. A nosebleed letter, a scratch letter, a fall letter, etc. There was a list of interventions on each letter with check boxes next to them. I would just insert...

  10. Per Diem Work

    feelix replied to JaxJax5423's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  13. anyone in the TWU or A&M Prairie View BSN program?

    feelix replied to trishajlee's topic in Texas Nursing

    It is not easy to get into any nursing program. With a little difference here and there, most are equally difficult. Transfers are frowned upon and not easy to come by. If you got admitted to one...

  14. Why is our salary so low?

    feelix replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't think doctors are paying less because they think quality of online programs is low. If they thought so, they would not hire you in the first place. Of all the people, doctors don't want a...

  16. Military Wife, 6 Years Later...Still New Grad?

  18. Disturbing Conversation on Overweight Healthcare Workers

    feelix replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

    I should weigh at least 30 lbs lesser than I do today. The doctors, however, gave me a clean bill of health. Thank God for good genes. I would however, like to be thinner and kinder on my knees. I...

    feelix replied to nurselyfe4115's topic in General Nursing

    How do you form those bonds with fellow students online? A lot of NP students say they passed only because they studied in groups and checked into hotels together. How do online students do
