  1. Leave Floor Nursing for office nursing?

    I liked mykidzmom's answer and I totally agree. I work in a large clinic, and yes, I often want to pull my hair out- but at the same time I love my patients. Yes, some of them leave me a voicemail every 10 minutes until I call them back. Or if I d...
  2. Health Care pay decrease with new health care plan?

    I don't know what to expect. If those who have private insurance already are allowed to keep it, that's good; if it amounts to those who were previously uninsured having insurance, that should mean that total income of hospitals will improve. Altho...
  3. How to get hired without experience

    Hi Dixie, Yes, your clinic sounds a little different than mine, although I know there are many things common to all ambulatory care clinics. I work at a hospital-based clinic, so I am actually an employee of the hospital. There are some really good ...
  4. You Know You're a Nurse When...

    ...your family asks you to just stop talking over dinner....
  5. Coming out to co-workers

    I think that one huge mistake most of us make, myself included, is worrying what other people will think of us. I used to be somewhat proud, but God had a plan to get me over that. Yes, I am a Christian, and I have learned that humility is a gift e...
  6. Office Concerns,, Am I Worried for Nothing?

    In the meantime, while you look for another job, start keeping a written set of notes for yourself, "just in case." Note any times that you ask your supervisor about staff meetings; about requests to be inserviced re: current rules and regs, etc., ...
  7. How to get hired without experience

    I started in my clinic as a floater, and was given a position with one doctor about two years ago. I think the floater position was the BEST, actually! I didn't have to get bogged down with ongoing issues with any one patient; every day was just a ...
  8. Bummed..might have foot stress fracture!

    Just now warm enough to wear shorts?!?!? Don't know where you are, but it sure isn't South Texas!!! It's been shorts weather here since March, and now is too hot to even safely stay outdoors for any length of time during the heat of the day. I have...
  9. Anybody else with Plantar fibromas?

    I have Morton's neuromas on both feet, my understanding is they are some sort of overgrowth of tissue that make the balls of your feet feel like you are walking on a golf ball. Also have Plantar fasciitis both feet. I have had steroid injections an...
  10. Stupid things that bosses have you do

    Ain't it the truth? With HCAPS scores now, hospitals can suffer financially from Medicare if patients who are surveyed after discharge don't give glowing satisfaction scores. Wonder if that'll even amp up the "kiss up" directives!
  11. 3rd shift and feeling sad/alone at work vent

    Not everyone is cut out for nights. I did them a few times years ago. The longest I could go was about a year before I started feeling really depressed, worn out and beat up. (the one great thing, though, about having to work while everyone else i...
  12. When I saw the title of your thread, I thought "Oh no, what did this poor nurse do?" and was picturing some pretty dreadful scenarios as I waited for my silly slow dial-up computer to get to the page. Girlfriend, if this is the worst thing that eve...
  13. I got people fired where I work, and now hate my job

    Isn't it funny how when people do bad things at work, they make others feel guilty. I agree that it's unlikely these staff members were fired on your word alone. An investigation had to take place, and I'm sure the DON interviewed others after you ...
  14. Anyone have experience with Lap Band Surgery?

    Well, I'm excited for you. That's coming up soon! I wish I were that far along. I'm not afraid of anesthesia, but I don't like it. I've only had it twice, but both times I woke up in the RR bawling like a baby. For no apparent reason. Just some...
  15. Anyone have experience with Lap Band Surgery?

    When will your surgery be? I'm going for the LapBand because my insurance covers it (hopefully, if they approve me). There's another newer procedure out that sounds interesting too, it's a vertical gastric sleeve. They don't bypass anything, but t...
