  1. Breakroom Pet Peeves

    At my old job, we would spend all morning talking to our patients, physicians, and nursing staff. By the time lunch came around, we were tired of talking, so many of us would read a book or scroll on our phones. There were complaints that we weren’t ...
  2. My friend did a 1 year residency in ambulatory medicine after she completed pharmacy school. She works in a large primary care office, working mainly with chronic disease management patients. She works one-on-one with patients educating them the dise...
  3. I applied to a job posting that opened when someone retired as positions open very rarely in this department. The phone interview went well and I was told it may take a few weeks for the hiring manager to get back to me. I followed up with the recrui...
  4. "Observing" my peers

    This interaction with my supervisor had really caught me off guard. Thank you for your responses!
  5. "Observing" my peers

    My supervisor asked me in private about my observations of the dynamics between two of my peers. Each one feels they are given unfairly difficult assignments and the other is not pulling their weight. My opinion was sought because I work with them th...
  6. Ready to be a manager?

    Thank you for your advice! You brought up some great points to consider. I've thought some day I'd be interested working in management, just didn't expect it now. I'll definitely look into the support offered to new managers.
  7. Ready to be a manager?

    I have an opportunity to work in management. My supervisor and co-workers are strongly encouraging me to do so. I'm hesistent because of the potential added stress, lack of management experience, and department politics. As an introverted person, I t...
  8. What does your nursing career repair bill say about you?

    My advice is to listen to your gut instinct when interviewing or on the job. If something just doesn't sit well take a moment to reflect before taking action.
  9. Primary Care/IM: Ask me anything.

    Generally, do you see a difference in how well NP students are prepared based upon their school, for-profit versus non-profit? In your experience, has their choice of colleges factored into the hiring process?
  10. slow and affordable or Accelerated?

    I went through an accelerated program and it was very intense. School is basically your full time job. Wake up early for clinicals, go to clinicals, eat a quick lunch, go to classes, come home to do homework, eat, shower, repeat. We only had like 2 w...
  11. Looking for some advice before making a mistake.

    Some things to look into may be a physical therapy, exercise physiology, or cardiac rehab.
  12. Cleveland Clinic Ohio to Florida

    I have heard from a CCF Florida employee that they pay the least in that area. I didn't hear any specific numbers. I don't know how true that is. You might want to ask HR.
  13. MD to RN?

    I pretty much recommend this for anyone considering nursing as a career but you really need to shadow several nurses. Shadow nurses working in med/surg, critical care, peds, etc. Check out different hospitals at different times. I know you've done th...
  14. Hardest part of nursing school?

    I think the toughest part of nursing school is the time management/organization. You have to be at the top of your game preparing for classes, studying for exams, preparing presentations, and prep for clinicals. It takes time to fine a routine that w...
  15. Being offered a job in a General Surgery clinic

    I would suggest pursuing the clinic route. The work hours are predictable and consistent. It will still have stress, just not the kind of stress you're used to. The pace will likely be slower than that of a med/surg floor. You may get to know the pat...
