  1. Do not understand scheduling issue

    I actually do not have student loans to re-pay, but that whole premise is just ridiculous anyway. If I've earned the trust and repeat visits of my patients, then deserve to keep them. It's all just very odd - the practice is odd in many ways, but I t...
  2. Do not understand scheduling issue

    So, I've been at my practice a good 18 months and seem to be doing fine -- no comments or complaints from my boss or from patients out of the ordinary. A new doctor straight out of medical school started about six months later. She's good, but also ...
  3. Thoughts on doctors and management styles

    Thanks for the responses. In regard to wanting my hand held .... I'm not sure that's entirely fair. As a person who has always worked in past corporate PR and also large hospital system eonvirnments, I am used to professional annual evaluations. I'm ...
  4. Thoughts on doctors and management styles

    So, the doctor that owns our practice and has been there for 30 years, and is essentially "my boss" has a hard and fast rule for all staff that all issues regarding the practice must be addressed first with the practice manager and not directly with ...
  5. Practice manager driving me bonkers.

    Practice manager has her two grandkids come in to be seen, accompanied by their grandmother (who has authority to bring them in). Practice manager's son is the father, and he is divorced from the mother of the two girls. One is 13, one is 11. Kids ...
  6. Have been working in a small mom and pop practice for about a year now -- no EMR -- all on paper. Doc is old school. Very busy and well loved practice with a large patient volume. I started there a year ago, with a few years of retail health experien...
  7. RN with public Reprimand Inspiration

    It's 2018 and I'm still reading your post. You have no idea how much this has helped me to hang on through a board complaint made against me by a former employer. I was also recently reprimanded and the entire experience was so hideously painful I ca...
  8. Any good and relatively inexpensive courses anyone could recommend? Or conferences? I've put this off and have until next July to get it done ....will pay more if it's worth it.
  9. Just started in a primary care office in Maryland. Often, patients under 18 are coming in without parents, and without any sort of parental consent form on the charts. Coming from the Minute Clinic environment, I always thought kids had to be accomp...
  10. How much did NP school prepare you?

    Right -- I think that over time, as an NP you will catch up simply due to experience in practice, but it's very tough at first.
  11. Favorite part of being a Nurse Practitioner?

    I don't know -- everyday I wonder if I should just hang it up ...I'm just four years into it, spent 3 in retail, and now during my first year in true primary care, I get easily overwhelmed and am often in a state of panic and/or sheer terror. However...
  12. NP thoughts on office managers?

    Oh gosh -- I'm relatively new in the field, but still have not really seen one who seemed to have the ability to effectively really manage, and who just did not seem untrustworthy and smarmy. The one I have now does a lot to make my job easy, but als...
  13. How much did NP school prepare you?

    I will honestly say, I strongly feel not all that much. I did 700 clinic hours, whereas my doc went to med school for 3 years, then did 3 years of solid residency ....that's what you NEED. I wish that's what I could have done. Now I'm out and expecte...
  14. How to deal with obnoxious staff

    Oh I know .... I absolutely cannot and will not say much if anything at this point ... just trying to formulate a coping strategy for now.
  15. How to deal with obnoxious staff

    Yep -- grates on me even more as I have to stand in a tiny room right right next to me While I chart .... í ½í¹„
