Hi everyone! I'm glad I found this site. Hey - do any of you have any resources or articles that I could get online, (I would appreciate it!!) about office nursing (I already checked out the CDC's site - very helpful) - immunizations, tetanus shots, lyme
vaccine/disease, pneumovax, ppd, phlebotomy, standards, patient handouts, anything?? I just started working at a one-doctor practice (only one nurse and two office staff work per day) part-time, and I am coming from working in the hospital. They don't really have any kind of orientation resources like those that are usually abundantly available in the hospital. I am trying to get a feel for what the differences are and should be (ie. the documentation). I want to get a feel for the way things are, and then evaluate whether I could make any more positive changes. I don't know what is reasonable or not, and I don't want to get fired before I get my feet wet. What is the standard out there? Any info would be helpful. Thanks, Eva M. (evamac@netscape.net)
