1. Refill Faxes

   OhioMary replied to OhioMary's topic in General Nursing

   It feels like 90% of them are automated... but yeah, there's those few times where it turns out that someone does actually need this refill. I don't like the last minute stuff (I don't want to be at work on hold 20 minutes after my shift ends!) It ...

2. Refill Faxes

   OhioMary posted a topic in General Nursing

   I recently started a contract with a doctor's office. It's for mental health patients in the DDS system. We get a ton of those faxes for refill requests from pharmacies. My office manager has asked me to follow up on these to see if the patient nee...

3. How Does One Get an NP?

   OhioMary posted a topic in NP Students

   I'm researching the process for becoming a nurse practitioner. I'm an RN with critical care and psychiatric experience. I love psych and see a lot of openings for psychiatric nurse practitioners around here. I understand that if I go psych or gene...

4. Time off for Hesi

   OhioMary posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm so mad I could spit! So, I'm going to a bit of a disorganized school for my LPN-to-RN transition and I didn't find out until Monday when my Hesi (nursing school exit exam) was going to be. When I did I immediately called the scheduler. I was to...

   OhioMary replied to Despareux's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I was wondering if you ended up trying out the VFFs while working as a nurse and how it went for you.

6. Food Pressure: Coworker Edition

   OhioMary replied to OhioMary's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, I was told off. It was weird. When they were ordering and invited me to eat I said "no, thanks", when that didn't work I reminded them that I bring my lunch, when that didn't work I said I didn't have any cash on me and wouldn't be able to chip ...

8. Food Pressure: Coworker Edition

   OhioMary posted a topic in General Nursing

   I am returning to a facility where I have previously worked as an STNA to work for the last few months of my LPN-to-RN program (as an LPN). It's a LTC facility, nothing fancy, not in a ritzy part of town, but the people that work there are so lovely....

9. Socks/Stockings for Dresses

   OhioMary replied to OhioMary's topic in Uniform/Gear

   At 5'4'' the ready-to-wear nurse dresses seem to come to the top of my kneecap. I know in school in chemistry labs we were required to make sure our leg skin was completely covered in case of spills; I wonder if it's acceptable to have occasional kn...

10. Socks/Stockings for Dresses

    OhioMary posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

    So, I like to wear scrub dresses. I'm an LPN currently studying for my RN. My school provides pants and tops to wear but I have permission to buy my own scrub dresses. Anyway, I don't have guidance on what is acceptible legwear when wearing a scrub d...
