  1. RNs playing as nurses in movies/modeling

    I was on Chicago Fire. Chicago Med also casts real nurses/other medical professionals. Know that you only get paid about a 1/3 of what you make as a nurse but for the experience and just for the pure fun of it, it's totally worth it.
  2. telephone triage flowsheet for receptionist?

    Your RNs answer the phones?? No. The receptionist answers the phones. How does she know when to schedule appointments? She just puts everyone who calls on for the same day? It's not possible. How does she know who can wait until later in the week?
  3. I haven't read all the other comments yet, but I worked for NPHC staffing as a care manager for Senior Bridge and it was not good. The training is all online (obviously) and then you are just basically thrown in. It depends on your area, but there we...
  4. I work in a small clinic setting where we mainly see adult patients. We hired a new receptionist who doesn't have telephone triage experience. I'm looking for some sort of flowsheet or a guide she can quickly refer to when patients call and want an a...
  5. Attn Clinic/Doctors office nurses!

    I work with MAs in my clinics and I am the RN. I'm in Indiana so it may be a regional thing, but no one refers to them as nurses and they certainly do not refer to themselves as nurses. In fact, if a patient calls them a nurse, they will said "I'm th...
  6. Lead Nurse Responbilities

    Office supply ordering, medical supply ordering, and pharmacy ordering monthly. Check outdated supplies and meds monthly. Monitor the biohazard waste pick up and call to arrange when that is needed (we're on a will call basis). Monitor provider order...
  7. It depends on which area you will be working in. I am a case manager for a home healthcare company. I can do a lot of my work from home but I also go into the office everyday to complete paperwork, check my mailbox, check on orders/faxes/etc. I'm sur...
  8. Sleep Aids

    We did not Rx sleep medications. That said, a lot of our offenders (in a population if approximately 3300) were on narcotics, Neurontin, Pamelor/Elavil, Remeron, Wellbutrin, Tegretol in the PM.
  9. New nurse..from Med/surg to home health

    I think as long as you are doing your best and trying to do what is right for the patient, you will find people are supportive. I try to take newbies 'under my wing' and always be there if they have questions or ask how their day is going. A lot of t...
  10. I got an email from a recruiter for care manager positions with Senior Bridge in my area. I've looked at their website & I think it's something I may be interested in. It's not home health care per se, it is more interviewing and documentation. T...

    Well, the offenders come to you. You don't have to make rounds. So they're released house by house and you just look at the MAR, pop their pills, hand them to them in a cup.

    There is little difference between the roles of the RN and LPN at our facility. With the exception of the infirmary, the RN and LPN assignments are interchangeable.
  13. Corizon

    All psych meds are handfeed, which are "watch and swallow" as you say. Also, Neurontin, Tegretol, Flomax for example. We are not allowed to pre-pop meds. They're supposed to be popped and given to the offender and signed off on the MAR. I also was w...
