    SHGR replied to panduhlove's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Remember why you became a nurse...

    SHGR replied to 2bNurseynursenurse1's topic in General Nursing

    Should I switch from SNF to Clinic?

    SHGR replied to newrnltc's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The clinic sounds like a plum job. This doc is willing to invest in your education? Let you develop the position? Give you authority and autonomy? Give you regular hours?? Prior auths are easy...

    SHGR replied to thewoods4's topic in General Students

    I'd like some too for my MSN but, oh well. I'm paying tuition out of my savings and paying several thousand $$ in taxes too this year. That's life in a free

    SHGR replied to Berkshire1995's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I apologize if the question was answered but, is it possible this dose was written with a trailing zero - 6.0- or as 6u instead of spelling out units? Both of these are unacceptable abbreviations per...

    Different levels of nursing?

    SHGR replied to DBall's topic in General Nursing

    Medical assistants really don't do anything having to do with personal care, though they do lots of immunizations and other injections, help with pelvic exams, and learn phlebotomy. It's pretty...

    Are there doctors on duty in the ER?

    SHGR replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Emergency

    The definition of ED to some people is the "alleviate my discomfort now" department. We had a young guy who, after being noncompliant with his BP meds, went to the ED...the ED report basically read,...

    Are there doctors on duty in the ER?

    SHGR replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Emergency

    Certified in what? Clinic nursing? Telephone triage? Or do you mean licensed? Two different things. I love working in an office but the MA's run circles around us as far as tasks- giving shots to...
