Suebird & Fiona: Thanks for the response. Being the only nurse in the clinic has it's ups and downs, but for the most part, I love it. One of the downfalls is the patients get to know you and call for you all the time. I'm the only one that can OK RX's, give shots, give lab results, give orders to hospital nurses.....things like that. So if I need a day off....well, it's hard.
You might also wish to try the Public Health Nursing forum. The vast majority of public health nurses work in public health clinics. Even though you do not specialize in public health nursing, you share the common bond of working in the clinic setting. https://allnurses.com/forums/f44/
HI !
I am a LPN also working for a doctor.....he is a plastic surgeon.
I am also his only nurse...been there for 1 1/2 years too....seems we have alot in common.
what is your doctor's specialty? what is your salary? are you paid per/hour?
I've been an LPN for 1 1/2 years in a Doctor's office. I'm his only nurse. I left AllNurses for a while since I had nothing in common with any of the nurses here on the boards that either worked in a hospital, LTC, or still in school. Why isn't there a forum just for nurses who just do clinic work? I feel like I have a lonely job with no one to vent to.
