1. Urgent and emergent situations in the clinic

   Love2Sleep posted a topic in Ambulatory

   I was wondering if you all could tell me about all the urgent and emergent situations that you have encountered in your clinics? I interviewed for a position in a family practice clinic, and if offered the position, I would like to prepare myself for...

2. Question for all clinic nurses

   Love2Sleep replied to Love2Sleep's topic in Ambulatory

   Thanks for the reply! I was told that I would assist with hard to Place foleys. I'm not sure what else I would do, but I'm sure there would be other duties there. I have some pulmonology experience working in medsurg, but most of my experience is in ...

3. Question for all clinic nurses

   Love2Sleep replied to Love2Sleep's topic in Ambulatory

   Thanks for the reply. The MD told me she currently sees 15 patients per day which may change with the anticipated growth in her practice. I'm not sure how many patients the pulmonology practice sees per day, however. Because majority of my nursing ex...

4. Question for all clinic nurses

   Love2Sleep posted a topic in Ambulatory

   I work for a hospital that recently merged with a large specialty clinic network. I interviewed for a coordinator position in the allergy clinic and the manager went over the RNs responsibilities in that role. They will be getting rid of the MA that ...

5. Too young to do school nursing?

   Love2Sleep replied to grobertson10's topic in School

   My advice is to try the school nursing. If you don't like it, you can always go back. Keeping your current job per diem is a good idea so you can keep up on your skills in case you do want to go back. I was in the same boat. I worked medsurg for 4 ye...

6. Is it legal..

   Love2Sleep replied to L&DRN93's topic in General Nursing

   Check your state's standards of nursing conduct or practice.

8. Queens, straub or rehab hospital?

   Love2Sleep replied to lily_17's topic in General Nursing

   Congrats on your offers! I have read quite a bit of posts in the Hawaii forum (because I plan to move back hopefully soon) about the job market and have seen repetitive responses that it is hard to get an acute care job with no experience. So if acut...

9. I lost my first patient... how do you cope?

   Love2Sleep replied to Kharma711's topic in General Nursing

   I just want to let you know how lovely this gesture is. I'm sure his mother appreciates that she is able to see her little boy's heartbeat. Hugs to you!

10. Do you miss bedside nursing?

    Love2Sleep replied to chacha82's topic in General Nursing

    I worked on medsurg for 3.5 years before leaving. I have been doing telephone triage for almost 7 months and I'm not very fond of it. I just can't stand to be stuck in a cubicle all day. I'm actually applying for medsurg jobs again. I hope my 7 month...

11. Why acute care?

    Love2Sleep replied to Love2Sleep's topic in Hawaii

    Thanks for the reply! I've been wanting to move back home (been gone 9 years), but the bedside just won't work with my family schedule. I know how expensive it is, so I don't want to make that move and struggle with a significantly lower paying job. ...

12. In need of some advice

    Love2Sleep posted a topic in Hawaii

    I am a local girl that moved away 9 years ago. I have been wanting to move home for about 2 years now, but thinking about giving up what I have and starting all over makes me sick to my stomach. I've been worried about the cost of living and having t...

13. Nursing student in WA moving back home to Hawaii after graduation

    Love2Sleep replied to melanilovesisaac's topic in Hawaii

    My advice to you is to get experience while you are in school for your BSN then move after. Don't prolong it too much otherwise it'll be harder to leave. I have been in WA for 9 years now, and while I want to move back to HI, I am afraid to give up e...

14. Why acute care?

    Love2Sleep posted a topic in Hawaii

    I've been seeing a lot of posts about RNs working as CNAs and secretaries at the hospital just to get their foot in the door with hopes to snag a new grad position. My question is, why not get an RN position that's not in acute care? Is it because th...

15. Who loves med-surg?

    Love2Sleep replied to MountainBikeChick's topic in Med-Surg

    I loved med surg. I had to move to an outpatient setting because it fit my family schedule better, but I am looking forward to the day that I can return to med surg!
