tash, rn

Hello to all, I am currently a RN Case Manager. I am in the process of getting my non-medical home care business started. Ideally, I would like to run the business out of home and rent a place for my interviews on a prn basis.This will be the most cost efficient for me right now. Will potential clients view this as acceptable? Will this be frowned upon? Thanks.

About a week ago I accepted a position at a local stress lab. The stress lab is located inside a Cardiologist office. A local hospital network is looking to buy the special imaging department of the cardiologist office within a week. So in the same office that will leave doctors office with its own nurses owned by one company and the special imaging dept owned by the hospital. There seems to be alot of anger and frustration toward the change. The RNs who work for the dr. office will have to monitor me during the stress test, which is fine I guess. I knew nothing about the change until the first day of orientation. Ironically one of the RNs who left the stress lab d/t all the drama and changes happened to be in orientation with me. So next week myself and one of the techs are expected to train a girl who's never been in the clinical aspect of healthcare before. We are supposed to teach her how to do manual BP during the stress test and check the patients in. All the while she will be checking people in, and of course the tech and I do our jobs. I wasn't made aware of any of this by my supervisor. The nurses at the dr. office told me this. For the first time of my career, my supervisor is not an RN and she is not at the site with me, she visits maybe once a week. She doesn't have a clue about the stress lab or what nurses do. I feel like I walked into a complete mess. My new supervisor is telling me that the office manager of the dr. office is claiming that they don't have a desk for me and was really hesitant about giving me a key for the buildings. She has been asking me if they were being nice to me, etc. Most of the staff have been really negative about the upcoming change which leaves me in an uncomfortable position. At this point I just want to go back to the floor. Have you ever been in this position? What kind of advice would you give someone in my shoes? Thanks, Tash

mwcrsn, you posted this almost a month ago. The office I will start at is 8a-430P or 7-430, can't quite remember. Have you found the answers to your questions? I should be receiving an offer from a cardiology office that does various diagnostics tests and I'm just as curious as you are :) Please let me know what you have found out
