  1. office setting nurses

    Wow mrsmsh, I couldn't even imagine. I was in shock and worried when we found out we were getting our 3rd provider. Things have settled down for the most part at work due to having a nurse on phones most days of the week but I'm telling you, it is a...
  2. Anyone Else Feel This Way?

    We are in the same boat! I'm also 25, I work in an office and I am walking or standing most of the day. I don't get it. I wish I had some good advice for us!
  3. office setting nurses

    Thank you for the advice. i should clarify how our system works, nurses don't have a v mail line. All messages are created by the front desk (or who ever answered the call) and it's made into an electronic message in the pts chart. All messages are s...
  4. office setting nurses

    Pfchang, YES! We have one new nurse, the rest of the nurses are easily at minimum 6 months along! Most of us have been in the office for years! Years!! And I do not mean to sound like every nurse I work with is like this but there are several. They j...
  5. office setting nurses

    Thanks for responding, at our office no new is good news in terms of our biopsy and lab results. However, we have a lot of positive paths for skin cancers, we call new results daily. We don't have a nurses line, when you call in you speak to someone...
  6. office setting nurses

    Wow I wish we'd try it out. nurses with providers see that pt from start to finish, any thing that happens during that visit is our responsibility, handling specimens, getting then lab slips, sending rxs. When that's done we move on to the next one,...

    Klone, how are things run in the clinic you work at??
  8. office setting nurses

    The nurses all see patients with the providers. I only ever see my own when I do cosmetics(it's a derm office so some of us do peels or laser), which isn't all that often. Our docs see 6-7 pts/hr each. Nurses do it all, turn over rooms, take historie...
  9. office setting nurses

    Thanks for the reply klone. Our office actually has 11 RNs!! We have probably 8-9 working together on any given day and it usually comes down to 3-5 of us responsible to finish the calls. It all depends on the leave time and experience of the nurses....
  10. office setting nurses

    Hey everyone, this is a question and a rant so I apologize in advanced but I truly feel stuck. i am a nurse at a relatively small practice with 3 providers. Each doctor gets 2-3 nurses to help see their patients. Our responsibility is to assist in pr...
  11. Mohs Nursing

    I don't solely do mohs but I am in derm where we do mohs once a week-ish. I make 25.50/hr, living in PA. Did you just start? What are you making?
  12. Mohs Surgery

    I will say we have had a higher turn over in the past, not so much in the last year. I feel many nurses are looking for that "dream job" in a hospital. I feel lucky to work somewhere that's off all major holidays and weekends. I also feel that I am p...
  13. Mohs Surgery

    Hello! I work as an RN in an office that does mohs. i am responsible for setting up the sterile tray, rooming the pt, ensuring consents signed and review their hx. When the surgeon evaluated and marks the site, I will numb with local anesthetic and c...

  15. At my derm office we keep syringes for 1 week after drawing up lido w/ epi. We don't use clinda though so can't comment on that. We had an OSHA inspector come in and afterwards we limited use to 1 week. I don't know if it was his suggestion or just p...
