Crossword Genius

Nurse felt funny taking ill (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

resentful

'taking ill' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'nurse felt funny' is the wordplay.
'funny' indicates an anagram.
'nurse'+'felt'='nursefelt'
'nursefelt' is an anagram of 'RESENTFUL'.

(Other definitions for resentful that I've seen before include "Bearing a grudge" , "Bitter" , "Grudging" , "Feeling badly treated" , "Feeling bitterness" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
