  5. Drug Rep Hassles

    AngelfireRN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Does anyone else have issues with drug reps? I realize that they have a job to do, and I would never attempt it. What I take exception to is when they park themselves in the middle of traffic and...

  7. Drug Rep Hassles

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is the OP. I did not make anything up. Your experiences aren't mine, mine aren't yours. But to accuse me of making up things just because you've yet to experience them is rude. i hope your...

    AngelfireRN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I finally got to my breaking point today and told my office manager I quit. She asked for 2 weeks, but, as she has stooped to supervising my bathroom visits, accusing me of lying, of playing on my...

  9. Is it ever ok to quit without notice?

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I offered a week. She refused it. I turned it in at the close of business after I had seen everyone and cleared all my charts. I was under no contract that specified the length of notice...

  10. Is it ever ok to quit without notice?

    AngelfireRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I assure you, it's real. I could not make this up. She refused to accept my notice and has shut the clinic down rather than accepting the time I was willing to work. And she's spreading it all over...

    Ok, now that I have ten seconds together... Since the last time I posted, I have been looking for new employment. The one thing that kept me from walking was my patients, and I have not slept well...

    Well, after sleeping on it, I decided to work the rest of the week and next week, to complete the pay period. That way, they get a notice, and I don't come out looking so bad. i have to admit, I hope...

  15. I think I'm just DONE.

    AngelfireRN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've made my decision. I'm leaving. I have had about all I can conceivably stand. Since I last posted, not a lot has changed. My collaborating doc was out of commission for a long while, which left...

    It is. It has. I just had to get to my point. And I'm there. I really hate leaving my patients again. I love them. But I should have been gone long ago. I just need to know I wasn't...

  20. What are the possibilities for a school nurse to get a job at a hospital?

    AngelfireRN replied to natka303's topic in School

    When I was a school nurse, I worked per diem for a psychiatric hospital. The hours worked perfect for a school nurse, as the shift went from 4 p.m. to midnight, rather than 3 to 11. I held the per...

    AngelfireRN replied to dankimal's topic in General Nursing

    They gave me Buprenex when I had my C section. I LOVED it. It worked well, I could get about 4 hours' sleep, and no side effects. Then again, a Tylenol knocks me out, so I have a teeny tolerance...

  24. Gifts vs. bribes...is there a line?

    AngelfireRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'd like some input, please, if y'all don't mind. In my clinic, it's not uncommon for some patients to bring gifts when they come for their visit. A few even brought my OM and I baby presents....
