I work for two neurosurgeons so this may be a difficult question but I would like your opinion and if this happens to you how do you handle it. This last week both of my doctors were out of the office. There is a doctor covering for emergency probl...

I am a new LPN instructor...how do I make it interesting? I have no idea what I am doing. I have read the chapters and go over it but it seems like I am just highlighting out of the book and honestly they could read that themselves. What do I do? Ple...

Wow what a story. I can completely understand how you feel. I would want to rip into him also BUT....if you ever run into him I would probably just politely say "I accept your decision to no longer care for my family but could you please give me the...

I have to admit that I had never heard of a doctor firing the patient but when I worked in the office I learned it. It depends on the type of practice and the doctor if it happens more frequently or not. I have to admit that I have encouraged the fir...

Thanks for responding I will check them out!! Jill

I am new to the area and have discovered that the pay for RN's is about the same here if not lower than in Oklahoma. Sentara does have good benefits but the pay is low. It is obvious that they have a monopoly on the medical field and can set the pa...

Sandra, Just read your post and was wondering if you could share some of your experience with me. I start a job in a hematology/oncology office on March 28 and have no experience in the field. It is my understanding that I will be giving chemotherap...

I would really like to know what information a person can obtain if they pay the fee.

Congrats!!! Now can you tell me how you prepared for it? I take mine next month and can use all the help I can get.

:balloons: :balloons: Congrats!! My instructor said that the HESI is a good indicator if you are going to pass your boards or not. I have not taken it yet but should soon. I am studying like crazy! Graduation(Pinning) was last night for me!

I just moved to the area and was wondering if you knew any neurosurgeons that are looking for an office nurse. I have worked for 2 neurosurgeons for almost 4 years and love it. I know that most office jobs are not advertised and that is why I am as...

I have only had limited contact with CMA and the ones that I have had contact with I am not impressed with them or their attitude. A student who was doing her intership at our clinic tried to tell me how to do my job when I had worked there for over...

It is difficult adjusting to not having a job "identity" and an income but the rewards with your family will be well worth it. I recently lost my job (long story) and I made sacrifices to do a good job and very regretful. I will never view a job as...

Kats, I know that there are a few girls at the hospital where I worked that are going the LPN first and then into RN because the competition is so hard. I am an LPN and going to RN and feel that it was a bit easier for me to get into a class since I...

I have posted here many times and want to warn you that this may be a long post but I need advice from other office nurses. I have worked in this office for over three years. I work for 2 neurosurgeons that are brothers. Even though I feel that rec...

Vanessa, Make sure you ask your instructors if you can put them down as a reference and I am sure that they will call to see how you was as a student. If you got to know any of the nurses where you did clinicals ask if you can use them as a referenc...

I just thought that I would stop in one last time and say goodbye. I am no longer employed in the doctors office. I want you all to remember that even though you trust someone, work your butt off that in the end they will do whatever is best for th...

]undefined I have been thinking about this and think that it would be great if I had a computer at my desk. I could type alot faster than writing. I think that I would document more of my small conversations with my patients and keep better records...

I work neuro and have a herniated L5-S1 disk that gives me problems frequently. We prescribe Medrol Dose Pack followed by NSAIDs. Also two other good meds are Skelaxin during the day and Zanaflex for bedtime. If mine acts up this is what I take. ...

I am an LPN and I am going to start the RN program at Rose State College and I was wondering if there are any graduates that I could ask some questions. I am going to be in the distant learning program. Jill

I am an LPN and going to start the RN bridge program this month. I work full-time for 2 busy neurosurgeons. I am the only nurse in the office and have been in the office the longest so everyone tends to rely on me too much. I am taking my nursing ...

I work with worker's comp daily and especially back injuries. I work for two neurosurgeons who take work comp. What kind of surgery are you having would depend on if you can work afterwards on the ICU floor. Not everyone gets an attorney, just make ...

I know how you feel. I am starting the accelerated program in January too. I have English CompII that I have to take this summer but other than that I am done with all my pre-reqs. YEAH. I see light at the end of the tunnel too. :kiss

I feel less excited than the rest of you. I got my acceptance letter to the career ladder program the first part of December and really haven't did much to get prepared. I have orientation January 14 and will probably wait until then to get my unif...
