About Lossea

Lossea has 6 years experience as a RN and specializes in Ambulatory Care.


Ambulatory care RN having worked in 2 outpatient offices for the past 5 years. My experience includes 10 months of working as an office nurse in a cardiac clinic followed by working as an office nurse at a large primary care office. After working directly wiht a family doctor for 3 years, I switched into a broad role of care coordination and transition of care with the same office, where I also manage an anticoagulation clinic and helped the providers with meeting annual wellness visit goals and quality goals. As of 7/2023, I am looking to narrow my career focus by transitioning into inpatient case management with the ultimate goal to work remotely once I gain enough experience. I am happily engaged and trying to start a family! 😊

  1. Is Giving 2 Weeks Notice Ancient Practice?

    Yeah, I agree that giving 2 weeks notice is generally a common courtesy and it is deserved if the employer provides a safe place to work with respect and follows all the rules and applicable laws. Like you said, stuff happens, no notice. Sometimes em...
  2. New Grad considering Ambulatory Care

    I am an RN in a cardiac clinic. It sounds like you have a lot to offer to a doctor's office, and I think you will have no problem landing a job! It would certainly be a lot more tough to transition from a doctor's office to a setting with high acuity...
  3. Cardiac Clinic not challenging

    It sounds like you are seeking advancing your knowledge, to be challenged, and grow professionally, and your current organization does not provide this for you. It is great that it provides financial security, but it sounds like keeping your nursing ...
  4. Ambulatory Care RN responsibilities

    Cardiac clinic nurse here. I will input the general responsibilities I think will be true for most clinics: rooming the patient (specifics depend on how much time you're allowed with a patient; I think in family med the volume of patients is high and...
  5. Burned out!

    This sounds really rough, I'm sorry! The volume of calls is outrageous... I deal with telemedicine as well and understand how frustrating it can be. In your situation, this is just too much, and they definitely need to get more help! I'm sorry that y...
  6. Meds and food..

    Thank you! Very helpful overview!
  7. I'm in the ADN program, and this last semester it's total of 240 hours. Sole clinical time on the med-surg floor is 11 11-hour days (120 hours). For the whole 5 semesters, it's 820 hours or so.
  8. Will I get kicked out of nursing school?

    I was thinking, have you checked out your program's student policy manual? I just looked at my program's manual, and it describes specific guidelines and policies. It may be helpful to get more information if you feel like it could alleviate some of ...
  9. Will I get kicked out of nursing school?

    I'm sorry about what happened to you. No one is perfect and sooner or later we all make a mistake one way or another. The most important thing is to recognize the mistake, ensure patient safety, report the mistake, and to learn from it. It is highly...
  10. NEW CNA....HELP?!!

    Hi charmingcarmen, I completely agree with mvm2, who posted above. Places s/he listed, especially LTC, are usually always hiring, and being a new CNA will not reduce your chances of employment. Unlike you, who actually has healthcare experience, I ha...
  11. What's the BEST nursing shoes?

    Thank you to EVERYONE for amazing, helpful input! I have been working as a CNA in regular Asics gel sneakers, but am looking to get a more cushioning shoe for clinicals. I ordered a pair of black Alegrias based on some of the great reviews! Can't wai...
  12. I Made it Through!

    Congratulations on getting through this!!! Good luck to you in the future.
  13. Remind me to just deal with it/Venting.

    I started my higher education in a community college, but, unlike in your case, I always felt that campus was made for people not just to come and study, but also enjoy their day. It was clean and there was lots of room, nice landscape, and good park...
  14. YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS

    ThePrincessBride, I also thought, at first, that you got a B instead of an A, despite being so close! I suppose those are the rules...no rounding up policy just does not make sense to me. I am a pre-nursing student and grades were always rounded up, ...
  15. It just has to be said (vent)...

    Thank you! From the title, I thought the post would be about something that upsets you (vent...), and everyone can learn from that as well, but it is particularly nice to hear that you are happy and like your job. Thanks for sharing.
