1. Leave Floor Nursing for office nursing?

   3boysmom3 replied to LovingNurse's topic in General Nursing

   I liked mykidzmom's answer and I totally agree. I work in a large clinic, and yes, I often want to pull my hair out- but at the same time I love my patients. Yes, some of them leave me a voicemail...

2. Health Care pay decrease with new health care plan?

   3boysmom3 replied to chrisciwi's topic in General Nursing

   I don't know what to expect. If those who have private insurance already are allowed to keep it, that's good; if it amounts to those who were previously uninsured having insurance, that should mean...

3. How to get hired without experience

   3boysmom3 replied to midcom's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

   Hi Dixie, Yes, your clinic sounds a little different than mine, although I know there are many things common to all ambulatory care clinics. I work at a hospital-based clinic, so I am actually an...

4. Coming out to co-workers

   3boysmom3 replied to twotoo's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I think that one huge mistake most of us make, myself included, is worrying what other people will think of us. I used to be somewhat proud, but God had a plan to get me over that. Yes, I am a...

5. Office Concerns,, Am I Worried for Nothing?

   3boysmom3 replied to Lexxie's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

   In the meantime, while you look for another job, start keeping a written set of notes for yourself, "just in case." Note any times that you ask your supervisor about staff meetings; about requests to...

6. How to get hired without experience

   3boysmom3 replied to midcom's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

   I started in my clinic as a floater, and was given a position with one doctor about two years ago. I think the floater position was the BEST, actually! I didn't have to get bogged down with ongoing...

7. Bummed..might have foot stress fracture!

   3boysmom3 replied to Sonjailana's topic in General Nursing

   Just now warm enough to wear shorts?!?!? Don't know where you are, but it sure isn't South Texas!!! It's been shorts weather here since March, and now is too hot to even safely stay outdoors for any...

8. Anybody else with Plantar fibromas?

   3boysmom3 replied to lindy777's topic in Health, Stress Management

   I have Morton's neuromas on both feet, my understanding is they are some sort of overgrowth of tissue that make the balls of your feet feel like you are walking on a golf ball. Also have Plantar...

9. Stupid things that bosses have you do

   3boysmom3 replied to JB2007's topic in General Nursing

   Ain't it the truth? With HCAPS scores now, hospitals can suffer financially from Medicare if patients who are surveyed after discharge don't give glowing satisfaction scores. Wonder if that'll even...

10. 3rd shift and feeling sad/alone at work vent

    3boysmom3 replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in General Nursing

    Not everyone is cut out for nights. I did them a few times years ago. The longest I could go was about a year before I started feeling really depressed, worn out and beat up. (the one great thing,...

11. so "the state" is coming, and i dont know how to rectify what i did.

    3boysmom3 replied to lorenwithano's topic in General Nursing

    When I saw the title of your thread, I thought "Oh no, what did this poor nurse do?" and was picturing some pretty dreadful scenarios as I waited for my silly slow dial-up computer to get to the page....

12. I got people fired where I work, and now hate my job

    3boysmom3 replied to shannieliz's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Isn't it funny how when people do bad things at work, they make others feel guilty. I agree that it's unlikely these staff members were fired on your word alone. An investigation had to take place,...

13. Anyone have experience with Lap Band Surgery?

    3boysmom3 replied to Keepstanding's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Well, I'm excited for you. That's coming up soon! I wish I were that far along. I'm not afraid of anesthesia, but I don't like it. I've only had it twice, but both times I woke up in the RR...

14. Anyone have experience with Lap Band Surgery?

    3boysmom3 replied to Keepstanding's topic in Health, Stress Management

    When will your surgery be? I'm going for the LapBand because my insurance covers it (hopefully, if they approve me). There's another newer procedure out that sounds interesting too, it's a vertical...

15. What would you do?

    3boysmom3 replied to StrwbryblndRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure who the best person to take it to is, but one place to start would be the DON. I have a feeling that's a liability issue for the hospital and they should take your concern seriously....
