Hello folks. I hope someone can help me out. I am a RN in a large family practice office. This week I have been orienting a new CMA who says she came from a smaller office then ours- one or two drs I think. We were talking about calling ...

I wonder what she will do when she goes home,& is 'maidless" at 3 a.m. with a screeming newborn.

Hi I am a RN & I work in a Family Practice office. The Dr I work with also did a Gyn fellowship so we do a LOT of Gynie procedures in our office. Are you a RN looking to get back into the field or are you someone thinking about a career i...

It is 4:30 a.m. on the East coast I pulled myself out of bed so that I can vote before I go to work. In my state polls open at 6:00.

I also have made friends with the handgel- I keep a travel size container in my pocket. But someone (forget who) told me gels are not as good as scrubbing with soap & water. Any body heard of the effectiveness of waterless gels? I figure the...

Have you asked the parents why they are not getting the children vaccinated? Are they afraid of side effects? Afraid that they might cause Autism? Or they just do not want to see their child in pain? There are lots of reasons.

Thanks for your help. Were you (CMAs)allowed to call things in like Valium, Vicodin, T3s?

Who in the world thought up this silly 'I have the time' phrase? Nurse Managers? HR Dept? Obviously it is someone who has no concept of real life on a hospital floor.

Woah!!! Was the professor notified?

You could always say"I'm in healthcare' & leave it there.

Good time management skills & a thick skin.

Two of the nurses I work with are in Honduras right now for 2 weeks at a program called 'hombroahombro' Try shouldartoshouldar.org HTH.

What type of PDA do you use? This from some one else stuck in the last century.

Nope. I work in a doctor's office. People with diarrhea drop off stool cultures all the time (yipee).

Can you say what hospital this is? Or, at least what state you are in? Is this so the hospital can get Magnet status?

I thought it is a general rule that you should not do injections or start IVs on any family member. I would be very uncomfortable starting a IV on my husband or my son. If I missed the vein I would never hear the end of it

Hi! I am new to this forum. I am a graduate of CHS- Mercer Campus. This was back in the early 70s, & the school was called' Mercer Hospital School of Nursing' It's wild to hear folks talk about my old alma matter.

You have CCU experience? Take advantage of it! Cardiologist offices are always looking for nurses & I understand they pay very well- the same for Vascular surgeons. Or as some one else mentioned, Cardiac Rehab is a great place to work Goo...
