   nursediesel replied to nursediesel's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I didn't get that position, but continue to have strong interests in derm. It seems like there is a lot of turnover in derm clinics and I can't seem to figure...

2. Dream positions...which would you choose?

   nursediesel replied to nursediesel's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   That is my family's thoughts as well, however, I am trying to tell myself it wouldn't be so bad as it is only 3-4 shifts per two weeks, with the worst being 3 days in a row when it's your weekend???...

3. Dream positions...which would you choose?

   nursediesel replied to nursediesel's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   So I did not get the dermatology position, and figured I had not heard back on the OB scrub position a month after interviewing, so I assumed I was not being considered. Last week, I interviewed at...

4. Mohs Surgery

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

   Thank you. That really helps. I will also be cross trained as a histo, so I will see the process from beginning to end. We have a plastic surgeon in our department as well, so I assume he may close...

5. Mohs Surgery

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

   Thank you so much for the info. From what I understand, some procedures can be quite deep and extensive. Do you feel that each case is different and that keeps it fresh, or is it more of a "you've...

   Hello, Looking for input on dermatology clinic nursing. Is there variety or do you find it gets monotonous over time? How about the procedures typically done ex) moles and

7. What would you do?

   nursediesel replied to nursediesel's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Yes, I didn't mean to post this in OB/GYN, but under a general or LPN corner, but I did post another question under this topic on the OB scrubbing itself. My biggest fear is actually never having done...

8. Mohs Surgery

   nursediesel posted a topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

   Anyone out there doing or have been trained in Mohs skin cancer surgery? Is it hard to learn to assist with that and what is the role of the LPN/nurse? How about processing the tissue (histotech) for...

9. What would you do?

   nursediesel posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   If you had the chance to be an LPN at a hospital as a c-section scrub, which would also include some pre/post care of mom and newborn hearing testing in the nursery. 12 hour day/night rotation, every...

10. Dream positions...which would you choose?

    nursediesel replied to nursediesel's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    No plans for school at this time, but who knows if I really liked the hospital setting, that may change. My biggest fear is shift work. I have never done it other than being a CNA for a short time in...

12. Which would you choose?

    nursediesel replied to nursediesel's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thank you everyone for your insight. I am leaning towards the school position now. The hours and salary are guaranteed, where the other could vary, and that seems risky. I think the stress of the long...

13. Which would you choose?

    nursediesel replied to nursediesel's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have quite a few years yet to work and I tend to stay at my jobs awhile. I do have insurance through my husband, but it would be nice to have double coverage and retirement savings if I went with...

14. Which would you choose?

    nursediesel replied to nursediesel's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It is with an independent surgeon, and I would be his only employee, so that is why no benefits. I would get minimal sick, vacation and holiday pay, but no medical or retirement until his practice...
