I was wondering what a nurse does in a typical day at a doctors office, i am working in a hospital and am thinking about applying at a doctors office. Do you deal with patients or are you more in the office part? Mostly when i go to the Doctor, i hav...

JCrow - I had a good friend of mine fail it 3 times (and he graduated magna cum lade) but when he did pass, the job he was looking at when we first graduated that wasn't avalible, but when he passed...it was (it was a sign!) ;-) If there is a bunch o...

hey!! I was kind of in the same boat as you. I loved nursing school but once i got out into the hospital setting i hated it. i too cried every night i had to work, and the only thing that kept me going was the people i worked with were so nice. I sta...

just joined too! thanks again! i keep telling people at work, etc. about the site so this will be great to have a link to it on my facebook!!

what drives me crazy is when i come on at 1900, the day nurses want to give report at 1901, no later, but when they come on at 0700, they have to get their coffee, mingle in the board room....dont come out until 0705 at the absolute earliest. Plus im...

i agree, go with the Dr office, it is obgyn so you will have experience in prenatal care and you can pick up on some L&D things while you are there, and the hours are great! good luck! you will do great!

wow! are there any other hospitals in your area you can go to? what do friends from your school say about where they went to work? I wouldn't stand for that for 2 seconds that is crazy!! i think you should make sure you keep yourself FIRST and dont g...

Hey there! Its kind of hard to tell you which one to pick - are you leaning towards one more than another? I have worked at Wesley the whole time, and thats where I had my ED rotation so you know which one i will say! :chuckle I know it sounds dumb b...

holy cow! i had to read your name because the first line of your post sounded EXACTLY like one i made a while ago!! i work in the same dept, and have the same feelings and was looking for another job! i just got hired at a research institute as a cli...

I just got a job in research and im soooooooooo excited! this job seems perfect for me and i cant wait to start! (first day is sept. 15th, i have to turn in my 2 weeks) the position is a clinical research coordinator so im really excited to start thi...

i havent ever taken that exam, but i think you feel that way regardless of whatever the test is when it is one like that! just relax, i know its hard, but try not to stress too much. whatever is going to happen is going to happen, and just do your be...

I actually just turned in my 2 weeks at my l&d unit!! lol i enjoyed it very much (im very close with all the staff and have to tell them tonight that i turned in my 2 weeks :-( ) we have 20 beds on our unit (we are across the street from the majo...

I posted in an earlier post about getting a new job, but they dont do any continuing education so i was wondering how you go about getting those CEU's - is there a website or somewhere i can go? thanks!

one other thing - i know you have to work in the field for 2 years before you can take the test to be a certified clinical research coordinator, but what exactly is the test like? i guess im asking what are the questions like? my facility will pay fo...

I work on a low risk labor and delivery/postpartum floor so we dont give too many drugs but here are some we do: During labor: (some of these you may already have) -Nubain for pain -Pitocin for induction/augmentation -Cytotec for induction -Cervidil ...

I FINALLY got a job! I was sooooo unhappy at the one im at now and have been looking literally everyday since April and was getting very frustrated! I had an interview yesterday and totally fell in love with the place, the woman I interviewed with wa...

thanks! did you have any experience with dialysis before you went into it?

what do you do as a dialysis nurse?

I went for an interview today, and long story short, i would kind of be a case manager. although the pts. have case managers, i would communicate daily with approx. 20 home health nurses and get report from them, ensure proper care is being done, we ...

holy cow i thought i was the only one in wichita that felt like that! i hate hospital nursing and have been trying to find a job since april! i finally got an interview so hopefully it will work out for both of us! keep us posted though! btw- what wa...
