  1. My IV Skills are Terrible!!!

    CardiacRNLA replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in General Nursing

    Howdy! So yes, it’s a mix of both. Mostly, lately I notice I get flash back, and I’m like “yay!” But then I can’t advance, or I advance and there’s no flush. But then they are some where...

  2. Are Patients Cared for Equally? Challenges of the VIP Patient

    CardiacRNLA replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    I work at a clinic associated with a hospital that is known as the "hospital to the stars." I really hate the VIP concept. Most of the patients, because it is in a wealthy area, think of nursing staff...

  3. Cardiac Clinic not challenging

    CardiacRNLA posted a topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I am working at a cardiology clinic outpatient for a prestigious organization. I'm getting paid a great salary. But this position isn't what I thought. I thought maybe I'd do some wound checks, be...

  4. Can Acute Care NPs work in Outpatient Specialty Clinics?

    CardiacRNLA posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    Hello All, I'm an RN who is in an Acute Care NP program. I had to take a year off(!) due to lack of preceptors. At the time, acute care seemed the way to go, but now I am having doubts because of how...

  5. Can you go from the clinic back to the hospital?

    CardiacRNLA posted a topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Okay, so I just got hired to a great position at an outpatient cardiology clinic. However Im thinking about going back into the hospital setting in the next few years if I decide to NP school. Simply...

  6. Can you go from the clinic back to the hospital?

    CardiacRNLA replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Thank you! I know it will be tough. The clinic is part of Cedars-Sinai so I was hoping maybe I would have an "in" since I would be an internal employee. My other thought was to perhaps pick up a...

  7. RN Case Manager? What does this mean in Home Health?

    CardiacRNLA posted a topic in Home Health

    Hello All, I am a little confused. I interviewed for an RN Case Manager job for Home Health. I am used to a case manager that has no direct patient care. But it seems like in HH this means something...

  8. RN Case Manager? What does this mean in Home Health?

    CardiacRNLA replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in Home Health

    Thank you so much! This was really informative. I like the flexibility and freedom. But I am worried about the autonomy lol. There are certain clinical conditions I don't have much experience with....

  10. Not Everyone is meant/wants to be a leader!

    CardiacRNLA posted a topic in General Nursing

    This is not really a rant...just random musings. Why does every nursing organization want to push every floor nurse to be charge, a nurse leader or running the practice council? I know this isn't...

  11. Do nurses get away with nurse brutality

    CardiacRNLA replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

  12. Not Everyone is meant/wants to be a leader!

    CardiacRNLA replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Klone, I think you are misinterpreting my post. Or if it comes off as bashing, I promise it isn't. I am not saying there is anything wrong with someone who wants to be a leader. I am saying there...

    CardiacRNLA posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, I am an experienced nurse (3.5 years of nursing). Lately, I have been seriously dealing with mental health issues, depression, etc. I had been out of work for 4 months or so because I have...

  15. Medical Insurance

    CardiacRNLA replied to ashley_bird's topic in General Students

    I find myself in a very similar situation. However, I am currently unemployed and looking for health insurance. My NP school only offers health insurance for brick and mortar students, not online....

  16. Fired Due to Not Being Able to Get to Work

    CardiacRNLA replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know who you are, but you know NOTHING about me. YOU need to tone down the attitude. I am a nurse, who shows passion, compassion and care for my patients. Because I don't think that a person's...

  17. Fired Due to Not Being Able to Get to Work

    CardiacRNLA replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

    Why are people such ******** in this thread? We all have been in staffing situations that suck as nurses. I hate annually having to decide what to do during hurricane season here in Florida but it is...

  18. Long term patients on acute care floor

    CardiacRNLA replied to ktellen's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I think that people should stop taking things so personally. I have said "stuck" before as have many nurses. It seems like the OP is more speaking about the situation as opposed to the actual patients...

  19. Have I been out of work too long to get a job?

    CardiacRNLA posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, I have been a nurse for over 3 years. I quit my job on September 30th partly because of burnout lol, but mainly because I was going to NP school. Fast forward to now, and well I decided...

    OMG, I have had this happen too many times to count. And usually, they want me as his or her

  21. 13 months left...quitting due to mental health, is that stupid?

    CardiacRNLA posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I know that is probably TMI or too personal to post, but I'd like to know if anyone has been in my shoes. I have been a nurse for over 3 years now. In full honesty, nursing has been very difficult for...

    CardiacRNLA replied to ryuunohime's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Jeez Louise! What kinda awful places do you guys work where PTO has to be that far in advance?! Remind me not to apply at those

  24. I'm a new nurse and I feel like quitting :'(

    CardiacRNLA replied to NurseGee2016's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I always wonder why some people feel the need to be aggressive or rude on these posts. I understand that nursing is high stakes. But nursing is one of the new professions where "veterans" think it is...

  25. Got fired.. Need support

    CardiacRNLA replied to uniqueguy34's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    While I will agree that this seems to be a disorganized facility, there are certain things that universal for all nurses. Yes there were others at fault, like the person who agreed to admit the...
