  1. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    feelix replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    She deserves her day in court and a decision based on evidence. We know too little to pronounce a verdict in favor or against. I think, Vanderbilt's case needs to be reopened too. It should be...

  2. Clinical Instructor

    feelix replied to Guest1204365's topic in General Nursing

    Again you are talking about a very similar work environment with too many people on a power trip. I am talking about the corporate

  3. Clinical Instructor

    feelix replied to Guest1204365's topic in General Nursing

     Bullies outside of healthcare are quickly taken to task and shown the door. It is in healthcare where doctors and nurses go around with fangs drawn and are rewarded...

  4. Clinical Instructor

    feelix replied to Guest1204365's topic in General Nursing

    Releasing unauthorized student information is a FERPA violation, not HIPAA. Those getting defensive at the question may be guilty themselves. Modern nursing education theory leans away from the...

  5. Is this discipline or discrimination for being autistic?

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

    I wish Nursing schools gave students as much training in accepting different co-workers as much as they give to patient diversity. As an immigrant I have been at a loss to understand innuendos, joke...

  6. Is this discipline or discrimination for being autistic?

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

    I would contact the disability office at work asap. Once your disability status is determined, you will be protected under disability laws.Most managers are not trained to understand disability. It...

    feelix replied to Champ4's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    it would be easier if you stated what qualifications and experience does your school require of the

  8. Refusing to Sign Off On Others Assessments

    feelix replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    There is no RN signing off on an initial assessment at least in Texas. The initial assessment has to be done by an RN. Your company is pulling a fast one by asking you to sign off. An LPN is not...

  9. Ethical to impose sales quota on nursing staff?

    feelix replied to Pedslife1234's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of nursing positions involve sales, and are not necessarily unethical. For example, most hospital liaison positions involve selling ‘prescribed’ services over your competitors. This is not...

    Thank you for the

  11. Haunted Hospitals, Nursing Homes, and Asylums

    feelix replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    You lost me when you called the criminally insane “evil”. It is just like calling someone with an acute MI being possessed by the devil, or by attributing illness to

  12. Does it matter if I get my nursing degree at Capella vs another school?

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

    I am sorry you and your school are being bashed so mercilessly. Admission criteria and payment plans are not the ultimate test of program quality. The finished product is. If a program is properly...

  13. LPN Supervisor Would Not Let Me Call Doctor

    feelix replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for making an informed diagnosis on my mental condition. You had omitted to say it was an administrative matter, unrelated to clinical judgment or scope of

  14. LPN Supervisor Would Not Let Me Call Doctor

    feelix replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    If yu read your state’s nursing practice act, it should state something like: An LVN/LPN would work under the supervision of an RN. It can never be the other way if both are working in capacity of...

  15. LPN Supervisor Would Not Let Me Call Doctor

    feelix replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Now whether a CNA can decide whether to take care of a patient or not is not a matter of clinical judgment. It is part of staffing policy. Your license does not entitle you to make staffing policies....

  16. LPN Supervisor Would Not Let Me Call Doctor

    feelix replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Courts have held registered nurses responsible for carrying out faulty doctor’s orders. You are a professional and will be held responsible for your own judgment. This, however, does not mean you...

  17. How much I pick up affects my yearly evaluation?

    feelix replied to Loly23's topic in General Nursing

    Saying you can do more shifts because you are young is age discrimination. I would keep a copy of that if in

  18. How much I pick up affects my yearly evaluation?

    feelix replied to Loly23's topic in General Nursing

    These evaluations mean diddly squad once they decide to rid of you. I got a perfect evaluation and a pin for going above and beyond and a conspiracy to get rid of within 2

    Agreed

  20. How much I pick up affects my yearly evaluation?

    feelix replied to Loly23's topic in General Nursing

    Recently I had a recruiter email me about a position for $5000 per week if I do 48 hours a week. Not if hell froze over. You don't want to make that down payment on your house if you are being...

  21. Can Managers Override Policy and Drs Orders?!?

    feelix replied to Aloe_sky's topic in General Nursing

    Inappropriate an uneccessary foleys can lead to cauti, sepsis and death. Regulatory agencies are watching hospitals and nursing homes like hawks where prolonged foley use is concerned. Hospitals...

  22. Sleeping On Unit

    feelix replied to Aloe_sky's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations for now. Obviously your manager is straight out of soap operas and did not repent. Do not have very high expectations of management in healthcare and continue to watch your back and...

  24. Sleeping On Unit

    feelix replied to Aloe_sky's topic in General Nursing

    BTW I was written up for taking a nap while I was off the clock. It was an entirely different discipline than nursing that reported me. I tried to reason with the nurse manager, but the manager wrote...
