A patient's employer called today stating that the patient was there with her, to start working after being given a few days off by our doctor. They want to make sure she is not contagious to their own patients. The record was faxed to the employer a...

6 doctors altogether but just one doctor per day. Less than 10 employees excluding the doctors, most are prn.

We do not have one, we are a small privately owned facility. What are the patient's options? Can we be sued for it? It was a nurse who sent the papers, can her license be in jeopardy? The patient was fired because she told them a different diagnosis ...

I work in a small, privately owned urgent care. There are two nursing staff (use term loosely because I'm fhe only nurse left and the rest are MAs) and one doctor working each day. Our nurse manager was fired a few months ago and being the only nurse...

Thank you guys, i see your point of it not being a sick call and was known two days before the date. That was a point i wasn't able to bring up with her. To her, I'm the manager and should be responsible regardless of the reason. Then what's the poin...

Ella26, may i ask, since we are in the same settinng: if both MAs still will not come in and you also have other commitments or whatever, what would you have done?

When i was first hired at my current job, there was an MA who had been there years before me. She made my life miserable, bad mouthing me to patients and other staff about me. She was mad that I got paid higher than her even though i had no experienc...

Do you work as staff nurse as well like i do? If I was a traditional manager or supervisor who oversees the schedule, then of course thst would fall under my responsibility. Unfortunately, we do not have that setting.

Unfortunately there's hardly any distinction with an MA and RN because we all do everything from front to the back. And this MA was hired only a couple months after i was hired 4 years ago. We are close so my husband thinks maybe she is taking advant...

I have two jobs. Geographic location: Texas Pay rate: $35 / $39 + diff $3 from 3pm and almost $2 weekends In which area / specialty do you work? Private owned urgent care/ Hospital offsite urgent care What type of license do you have (RN or LPN)? RN ...

Hate to say this but that is exactly what some of my duties are. I work in a private urgent care and they don't hire cleaning people because they expect us to literally fill that bucket, mop the floor and scrub the toilet. Also do patient registratio...

Oh, just to add. We get paid if we stay over. We never have to stay longer to do receptionist stuff though. It's usually because patients come in late and we have to finish taking care of them. How is it that you don't get paid like that? I guess its...

I work at an urgent care center where we have 1 doctor each day, open 12 hours a day. We see average of maybe 20 or so patients a day which could go up to 40 depending on the season. So it's the doctor, me (RN), MA and billing person (up to 3PM). Me ...

Yes, I've been doing that for about a year now. I work 3 12hrs as FT in an urgent care and another 1-2 12hrs PRN at another urgent care. I am 27, married but not kids yet so I feel like this is the perfect time to be doing this. The perks with my FT ...

I just started working PRN at an urgent care. Im an RN and there is usually only one nurse on duty (me) , a rad tech, lab, doc and front desk. We are usually busy..Lately, I noticed one of the rad techs keep telling me to put patients in a gown so sh...

1. what is your degree in? bachlor of nursing 2. what state do you live in? tx 3. what is your job title? registered nurse 4. how much do you make an hour? ft: $28, no benefits prn 2nd job: $36.40 with $3 diff after 3pm, no benefits 5. how much d...

Thank you for everyone's advice. I can't wait to work with her again and see if she still does it. If she asks me one more time, like, "Can you put her in a gown?", I plan to just say, "Would you?" How does that sound? One poster is right, I'm not on...

As far as I have seen in this urgent care, and where I work at full time, patients are not changed into gowns unless they need an x-ray. Chest x-rays are not as easy to predict as, say, an ankle or hand injury. I've come across patients who I expect ...

I suppose I failed to mention the snide comments she does especially around other people, which to me is a form of bullying. Mostly personal ones, example, our ID has a BIG RN on it. And one time she goes, "Wow, they really put a big sign on your ...

Hi! I'm an RN (BSN) who has been working for just past one year at a small facility. There's only 3 of us who are full-timers there: me- one year experience, the manager (LVN) who has been there since it opened 4 years ago and an MA who was hired ...

Just giving you an update that I got it!!The MA just kept quiet when it was announced and she was the only one who did not congratulate me. Oh, and the billing person kept quiet too. She's the one who talked to the doc and said she thinks she should ...

I LOL'ed at this! You should've said ..since we all know they are higher than some "lowly" NP. LOL!

Wow! This is your attitude as a YOUNG NP? I wonder how much worse it will be after a few years. Need to learn some humility. If you realize someone higher than you could possibly be making a mistake, would you stand by and let it happen just because ...

I'm glad there are still good leaders out there!
