I am a ccma and I work at a doctors office. Is it ever ok to tell the doctor that you are working for you don't want to know certain information about your patients?

I did talk to him about it and said its not ok that you went into detail about it, it's not ok you are telling me this and not the patient and it's not ok that your telling me his wife is a patient of ours as well. It should come from the patient him...

It's actually not the patient it's the doctor himself who was telling this please DO NOT say I am not suited for this position. I don't know if you read my other comments but I have never ever ever been triggered like this before. I was getting mad t...

Thank you for this. He was also sharing this information with the receptionist as well and I don't think that's ok either.

Thank you. I had asked this question in another group and people were getting really nasty with me. Saying I shouldn't be working in health care, which obviously set me off even more because I have been in health care for 5 plus years it's all I know...

Like this patient is being abused by his wife and going into details about it. It really triggered me as an abuse survivor myself. I have never been triggered while working in health care, never ever. So much to the point where I had to call my thera...

Hi I am an aide who recently got transferred from the float pool to mom/baby/nicu I know a lot about med/surg dementia care rehab and caring for older people, but i am just starting to learn how to care for newborns and their moms. Does anyone have a...

Sorry I just need to vent. It was a terrible day at clinical today. I made my first med error. I thought it was the 21st so I accidentally gave a sunrise med.(levothyroxine) I pretty much got chewed out by my teacher and have to write a paper about t...

Unfortunately they don't have a Pyxis at this nursing home and they don't have an emar just paper and pencil what really ****** me off though is this girl in my group stuck herself with a dirty needle after giving insulin and you know what the instru...

Thank you I guess it's kind of like some of the meds you get so used to seeing them that you can just remember it off the top of your head which group they belong to adverse effects and so on

How did you learn your lab numbers? Are flash cards for this the best like pharm? Thank you

I did catch my mistake right after I gave it to the pt and I owned up to my mistake a lot of people wouldn't and there have been others in my group that has made either a med error or some other type of error but I was the only one that had to write ...

Think about your a b c's and maslows is nutrition deficit really that important right now? Maybe in the future and if your going to go with that one again think of Maslow and her own perceptions about pain and medication you can only lead the horse t...

I feel like if you know your drug classes you will be good like your statins (hmg co a inhibitors) (the only reason why I know that action is because I probably had to look up every single statin twice for my note cards) I'm in the same boat as you a...

Have you gotten your ears checked lately? It may be because you just have a hard time hearing they have stethoscopes that amplify the sound so you can hear it better they are electronic and I have seen them they cost around 80 bucks if you want to in...

Yes I understand thyroid meds can do harm if given in large doses but the dose was relatively low 25mcg and I do agree our meds should be double checked by the rn but they aren't i had even asked my teacher about the med too because it wasn't in the ...

Lol I know it's very important for patient safety but I always thought pharmacy did the calculations and you double check thank you guys for trying to help I've been on those sites and furiously looking at my book trying to understand it

So I took the class and in retaking it now and I'm struggling with calculations. Can someone please explain to me how to do these calculations in a way that a first grader can understand? We did the calc test already and I got a 70 on it which droppe...

So I've always been curious about this. I work in the hospital in the float pool and sometimes I get floated to the oncology floor. I take cimzia a biologic Ned that suppresses your immune system and maybe thinking of switching back to remicaide or 6...

Thank you it's just a lot formulation memorization math is not my strong suit those websites helped a lot I really didn't think in the real world that they used a lot of the calculations but I was talking to a nurse I work with at the hospital and sh...

Honestly 2 grand isn't bad I paid 6000 for one semester it's hard look at fasfa take out the pell grants and I have some loans through sallie Mae that are deferred

I think CoD (college of dupage) still has their rn prorgram but I know ECC has a good program if you are willing to drive to Elgin from Chicago

It depends on the state. I did mine in a semester which was 16 weeks Monday through Wednesday 9 am to 12 pm and Thursday clinical day from 2 pm to 11 pm this is in IL by the way
