    feelix replied to uniqueguy34's topic in General Nursing

    That is why nurses need to unionize. I know you say the word union and people start bristling, but when you have no voice you need to band together. I know union dues cost money, but they help you...

  2. "I have a PhD, I know more than you do!"

    feelix replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

    OK. The school I went to had a PharmD teach Advance Pharmacology to NP students. That is because they are experts in their subject. The hospital I work at has a Pharmacist on every floor. They can...

  6. "I have a PhD, I know more than you do!"

    feelix replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sorry for you at all. You did not mind your own business and interfered with professional advice. The customer did not ask for yours and you gave it unsolicited. You know that you could get...

  8. Best shoes for clinicals

    feelix replied to Erythropoiesis's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Depends on your feet. They are worth a million dollars. I would suggest New Balance to anyone on a budget. They work just as fine as specialty shoes. Some of the more expensive clogs with hard toed...

  12. Slander by a student. What would you (or your school) do?

    feelix replied to 4th Act RN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    There is no such thing as an anonymous email. Emails can be traced. It is another matter that the email came from an outside domain. In that case, nobody can do anything about it. Does you school have...

  13. Hospital Educator with 12 hour shifts

    feelix replied to JaxJax5423's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    By 12 hour shifts they mean your students work those hours and you may have to complete your 40 or whatever number of ours within those hours. Putting it succinctly, it is not a 9 to 5 job. You may be...

  14. I Left Work Sick- Can I be Charged With Patient Abandonment?

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

    Well, one night shift a co-worker's FIL died. We did not even make a peep, just divided the patients and let her go home. Peeps these managers need to stay home and not work any more. Do you realize...

  15. I Left Work Sick- Can I be Charged With Patient Abandonment?

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

    Always document. In such a case, sending an email is good proof and would stand in court. Also, do you have a copy of company policy concerning sick staff providing care? If not, get a copy somehow....

    OK. I am excited to have finally graduated with a Master of Science in Nursing Education. Problem is, I don't see a lot of jobs out there. I graduated on May 13. I have been sending out applications...

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

    Since you don't even like the commute, try at another hospital. One that is easier to get into, but preferably with an educational program. Once you get your foot in the door, you will become...

    Most of your MSN, if Education track can be done online. The only clinical courses are one introductory clinical course and Health Assessment during pre requisites. Then a couple of semesters at the...

  22. Being blamed for fall after shift

    feelix replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Nursing

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

  24. "Your job is to make me happy"

    feelix replied to Nurse216's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would just ignore that comment and keep doing my job. There is no point in picking a philosophical argument with a patient with such a sense of entitlement. Every word you say may and will be used...

    feelix replied to hugz331's topic in Advanced Practice

    Once you fulfill basic requirements, most leadership positions are not offered on merit. They are offered due to networking, mentorship, experience and likeability. They are also the most fickle and...
