  1. office setting nurses

    littlekaneRN posted a topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Hey everyone, this is a question and a rant so I apologize in advanced but I truly feel stuck. i am a nurse at a relatively small practice with 3 providers. Each doctor gets 2-3 nurses to help see...

  2. office setting nurses

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

    Wow mrsmsh, I couldn't even imagine. I was in shock and worried when we found out we were getting our 3rd provider. Things have settled down for the most part at work due to having a nurse on phones...

    littlekaneRN replied to uthscsa2011's topic in School

    We are in the same boat! I'm also 25, I work in an office and I am walking or standing most of the day. I don't get it. I wish I had some good advice for

  4. office setting nurses

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

    Thank you for the advice. i should clarify how our system works, nurses don't have a v mail line. All messages are created by the front desk (or who ever answered the call) and it's made into an...

  9. office setting nurses

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

    The nurses all see patients with the providers. I only ever see my own when I do cosmetics(it's a derm office so some of us do peels or laser), which isn't all that often. Our docs see 6-7 pts/hr...

  12. Mohs Surgery

    littlekaneRN replied to nursediesel's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I will say we have had a higher turn over in the past, not so much in the last year. I feel many nurses are looking for that "dream job" in a hospital. I feel lucky to work somewhere that's off all...

    littlekaneRN replied to dculver88's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  21. I feel so used..

    littlekaneRN replied to LadyMystic's topic in Aesthetics

    I would be VERY leery of this "job".. as the above posters mentioned, you are likely not covered by their insurance and lasers can do permanent damage to patients if you don't know what you're doing...

    littlekaneRN replied to lsid16's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  25. Allergic to Foam/Gloves/Soap?!

    littlekaneRN replied to SarahJade4's topic in Health, Stress Management
