Are you all by yourself? Or do they have an aide that can help you with coverage in the event of overflow or an emergency? Even something as simple as someone making the calls for you (by your side).

Great point. It's those harsh realities that sit with you. Over time, I'm sure we've all heard of situations and outcomes that we wouldn't have normally considered possible. And as others pointed out, it's all about delivery in the context of teaching.

Any update on how this turned out?

Close friend of mine worked in a Minute Clinic for a few years. She loved it but left for maternity and loved that more, so she never went back. Lol. It's a "one man show." So, you're on your own which she liked the independence. Her only gripe was with that autonomy, came a lot of administrative duties as well.

Mid-summer they called us in for a meeting. There were a couple of people from each floor plus a bunch of bigwigs (CCO, CDO, etc.). Our system has a few hundred facilities, so the people in suits now have this group of us using the American Health Council's networking platform to communicate with the other nurses in the other buildings. Not sure if it will be a full roll out or not. Can't speak on the email or call, obvs not my situation. But I can attest that it's a real organization.

What I wouldn't give to be in your shoes at that stage in your career. If you're happy and financially comfy, come up with a 3-5 year plan. A startup will likely involve front-heavy overhead and, unfortunately, on the back end, a lack of reciprocating owner income. Stack your chips, study how the game is played and when you are in a position to transition in somewhat of a parallel fashion (as far as stress and financial stability), only THEN do you make your move. That will lead to greater success for your own endeavors.

Like everything in life, moderation is the key to success and longevity. CrossFit is a positive but extreme nonetheless. IMO, the long-term implications of this high-impact training amongst average Joe's (and Jane's) has yet to be seen.

Same here.

Great book, btw. As far as a read, the writing style might strike your fancy or not. But even if it doesn't, I can personally attest that there were concepts in there that have been a game changer for me. Best of luck!

So happy for you! Not an easy thing to do - MAKING and INVESTING the time to troubleshoot an individual patient problem. Kudos to you!

Critical point here. In addition to the importance of maintaining full population participation, as well following through on full administration schedule for vax treatments, the efficacy of the vax itself attributes to its success. There's a lot of data that needs to be gathered as to why there's been a drop in the success of Tdap itself, starting with the manufacturing process. If the people in white lab coats can figure that one out, then they can hopefully work with the people in suits to get a revised vax policy underway.

So wonderful to see other nurses with diverse backgrounds to share with! Welcome!

Underwater with a brick tied to your foot isn't a good way to learn how to swim. If you're that overly uncomfortable with what you're doing, it's best to take the transfer before a misjudgement happens at someone else's expense.
