LPNRrozo

Hello! I’m new here at allnurses. I have been an LPN since 2003 and have worked in the hospital setting (med/surg) for about 2 years, then went into corrections for around 5 years. After getting fired from that job...very long story...I started an LPN to RN bridge program. Dropped out because of missing time for a death in the family and then my son spent a week in hospital for Meckle’s and had 4 inches of his small intestines removed. I figured I would drop out before failing out. Then I went into LTC and injured my back so bad that I was on Worker’s Comp for 3 years and had 2 back surgeries with the 2nd on being a spinal fusion. During those 3 years I swore I’d never return to nursing....NEVER SAY NEVER! ? So after the WC settlement money was gone, I had to go back to work. Returned to LTC and then left that and worked for a year as a phone triage nurse in a very busy pediatric practice. Then an opportunity came up for me to work for an allergy practice only 5 minutes from home. Last job was a 40 minute commute with part of that driving over a mountain that created a lot of traffic headaches. The allergy practice also offered $1 more an hour. The benefits aren’t as great but I couldn’t pass up being so close to home. Now, with all of that being said I guess I’ll get to my question! ? The only two nurses are retiring in December and myself and a CMA are replacing them. I am training right now with the shot CMA until 12/1 then I will train with one of the nurses on the floor until she leaves on 12/18. I have little to no experience in this new field. I’m stressing that I’m not going to have enough time to really learn all I should know in that short period of time. Where can I go to get some basic knowledge on allergy/immunotherapy? I wan’t to learn as much as I can about this speciality and am at a loss as to where to look. Any ideas? Thanks for reading my rambling and for any suggestions you have to offer!
