  1. what is a reasonable salary to ask for nurse manager in primary care center

    Amanda.RN replied to Tabbycoley's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I'm not familiar with the pay scale in FL (I'm from WI), but as a clinic manager I think you could request at least $63,000-68,000. I'm sure it will be somewhat dependent on the number of staff you...

    Amanda.RN replied to WSUnurse's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    $50,000-55,000

  3. A few questions:

    Amanda.RN replied to felineRN's topic in Emergency

    An MD must pronounce them dead. EMS is not allowed to, thus the CPR all the way to the

  4. Pre-req math classes for nursing school

    Amanda.RN replied to ED Escort's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As juliaann said, algebra and stats are usually

  5. Ripped off?

    Amanda.RN replied to NiceShot's topic in Case Management

    Are you working full time or part time? If you're working full time, that's not enough. If you're only expected to be there about 20 hours per week (about 1,040 hours per year), then it's okay. If you...

  6. Question for CM's w/ home offices...

    Amanda.RN replied to cosmicmama's topic in Case Management

    Who will you be working for? I'm sure they will have a list of requirements that you must meet. In the past, I've heard that employers stop in once yearly announced and once yearly unannounced;...

  7. New grad here. If I got cancelled for a shift do I need to make up the hours lost?

    Amanda.RN replied to mnf4ever's topic in General Nursing

    It won't affect your benefits - only your PTO or paycheck (your choice - you can either use PTO to make it up so your paycheck will remain the same, or you can deal with a smaller paycheck and save...

  8. Just need to vent

    Amanda.RN replied to HDHRN's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like she would benefit from a Lap Buddy. Hope she's

  9. Foley insertion on a male patient

    Amanda.RN replied to divaRN*'s topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    A Coude catheter is the only way to go with BPH - works wonders! If you meet resistance, tell the patient to take a deep breath in and exhale strongly. While they exhale, finish advancing the...

  10. Should I feel bad?

    Amanda.RN replied to PediLove2147's topic in General Nursing

    You deserve a

  11. Terminated because of a dirty drug screen (all drugs were prescribed btw).

    Amanda.RN replied to randb83172's topic in General Nursing

    Do you take the narcotics prior to or while on the job? If so, it doesn't matter whether or not they're prescribed to you because you're still under the influence of a substance that's known to cause...

  12. no win situation

    Amanda.RN replied to ulmaulma's topic in General Nursing

    Before you quit this job, I think you should see your doctor. Do you have anxiety outside of work? If so, you may have Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and you may benefit from taking a medication...

  13. Held Coreg w/ BP of 100/55

    Amanda.RN replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    I also would have contacted the doctor. Don't beat yourself up though. You mentioned your preceptor thought it would be okay? I think it'd be reasonable to discuss this further with your preceptor to...

  14. Privacy rules for reproductive history

    Amanda.RN replied to GMHarmony's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Ohhh, very sensitive subject...however I'm with Trauma & Kroger on this. She should not have had her mom in the room with her if there was anything she didn't want her to know. The doctor is there...

  15. Help! I suck at math!

    Amanda.RN replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    I frequently use Algebra in nursing to double-check the pharmacists' medication calculations (maybe I'm anal, but anyone can make an error, even a pharmacist). You could consider taking one of the...

  16. is 3rd shift inevitable for new nurses?

    Amanda.RN replied to edwindelahiggins's topic in General Nursing

    I do not think night-shift is inevitable. When I first graduated, I started on PM shift (12:30-11 pm) and was in a day-shift position within 1 and 1/2 years (granted it was at a different job, but...

  17. Legitimate Avenues for Certification and Training???

    Amanda.RN replied to mcneillmama3's topic in Case Management

    You are correct! They're a scam. There are only 2 providers of exams in which you can become a "Certified" Case Manager. What is your current credentialing? If you are an RN, you do not need any...

  18. Any suggestions?

    Amanda.RN replied to NepRN's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I would go for the school nursing job. It sounds like an awesome opportunity with excellent benefits. I think you may get burned out working two jobs, especially since one of them is...

  19. Done with work!

    Amanda.RN replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations!!

  20. Salary on offer letter different than verbal offer

    Amanda.RN replied to ibme's topic in General Nursing

    The written offer is the one that stands. 28 to 32 would be a difficult typo to make. The original recruiter may have been trying to pull a fast-one over on him. I would just leave it be. Congrats to...

  21. Private Loan Debt Stressed Out New Grad! HELP!

    Amanda.RN replied to LovelyRain's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, BREATHE. Close your eyes, take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth, and relax for a moment. (I'm serious - do this.) The next step is to go to:...

    Amanda.RN replied to Lucky724's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with linearthinker! Great idea! That's absolutely what you should do! ...and I believe the federal mileage rate is currently

  23. Job offer, accepted now "new" information regarding position given - feel duped!

    Amanda.RN replied to Lucky724's topic in General Nursing

    Wow - they completely misled you! If they did this, what else might they do?!? I would definitely reconsider this. That was so wrong on so many levels. If you left your previous job on good terms, I...

  25. How to do skilled visits independently and bill Medicare

    Amanda.RN replied to PeacefulHeart's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Does anyone have any idea why Medicare reimburses RN's in some states and not others? I attempted to apply for a Medicare Provider # in Wisconsin today, but was denied (you need to be a Nurse...
