   In our office the nurses scribe, we then step out of the room and have the patient stay, and while doctor reviews/finishes the note I have a chance to go back to the room to do patient education. Our doctors are very good at providing education and w...

2. Very encouraging and heartwarming!

   AnieleiLPN posted a topic in Ambulatory

   I just had to share this encouraging and heartwarming experience. I know as an office nurse sometimes we hear the ideas that "real" nurses work in the hospital. I've even heard that from one of the doctors in my office who prefers to work with CMA's....

3. How to Escape LTC

   AnieleiLPN replied to mejajo02's topic in LPN/LVN

   Continue to be the best nurse you can be while still at your current facility, polish your resume, and apply for other jobs you see. A lot of offices take LPNs. Even if the description for an opening asks for experience, apply anyway sometimes they t...

   The medical group I work in we were given a choice of 4 top colors that we can alternate throughout the week if we want. Jackets and pants have to be black and undershirts can be either white or black though they aren't real strict about that if the ...

   AnieleiLPN replied to misscutiecute2010's topic in LPN/LVN

   I've gotten the LPNs aren't as good as RNs but I just let it slide off my back. I work in a large hospital practice group and we have MAs, LPNs, RNs, NPs, PAs, and Drs and I've noticed that no matter what credentials you have there is always someone ...

9. Am I wrong to turn down the job?

   AnieleiLPN replied to T-Bird78's topic in LPN/LVN

   Wow that sounds pretty bad! No, you're definitely right to stay far away from that job. It sounds like the things that doctor is doing and having his staff do is clearly in violation of a lot of laws and you don't want to be an employee when it catch...
