  1. transitioning from acute setting to ambulatory

    Nerdy RN replied to thomas76's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    ChitownRN17 hit the mark on a few of the pros and cons. It is nice to have weekends and holidays off, but patients get mad when you call (they only want to speak to a doctor!). I often get chewed out...

    Nerdy RN posted a topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Nerdy RN replied to Gamecock RN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I work in a busy Ambulatory Care clinic, and we have RRTs all the time. Typically, it is only one-to-two ER RNs and an RT. In our hospital, a RRT is meant to be a low key event: it is not advertised...
