2. Doctors "firing" patients

   Vailgang replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

   I have to admit that I had never heard of a doctor firing the patient but when I worked in the office I learned it. It depends on the type of practice and the doctor if it happens more frequently or not. I have to admit that I have encouraged the fir...

   Vailgang posted a topic in Educators

   I am a new LPN instructor...how do I make it interesting? I have no idea what I am doing. I have read the chapters and go over it but it seems like I am just highlighting out of the book and honestly they could read that themselves. What do I do? Ple...

5. money

   Vailgang replied to onewhocares's topic in Virginia

   I am new to the area and have discovered that the pay for RN's is about the same here if not lower than in Oklahoma. Sentara does have good benefits but the pay is low. It is obvious that they have a monopoly on the medical field and can set the pa...

11. Bon Secours v. Sentara v. Obici?

    Vailgang replied to guest22304's topic in Virginia

    I just moved to the area and was wondering if you knew any neurosurgeons that are looking for an office nurse. I have worked for 2 neurosurgeons for almost 4 years and love it. I know that most office jobs are not advertised and that is why I am as...

    Vailgang replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory

    I have only had limited contact with CMA and the ones that I have had contact with I am not impressed with them or their attitude. A student who was doing her intership at our clinic tried to tell me how to do my job when I had worked there for over...

    Vailgang replied to ARmickie's topic in General Students

    It is difficult adjusting to not having a job "identity" and an income but the rewards with your family will be well worth it. I recently lost my job (long story) and I made sacrifices to do a good job and very regretful. I will never view a job as...

    Vailgang replied to kats's topic in General Students

    Kats, I know that there are a few girls at the hospital where I worked that are going the LPN first and then into RN because the competition is so hard. I am an LPN and going to RN and feel that it was a bit easier for me to get into a class since I...

    Vanessa, Make sure you ask your instructors if you can put them down as a reference and I am sure that they will call to see how you was as a student. If you got to know any of the nurses where you did clinicals ask if you can use them as a referenc...
