Hi, i work in a rehab facility wherein we get different patients everyday. Everytime you have a 2-day off, most patients are strangers to you. It's not a long term facility. So when we have no doctors around, and we get results from an ordered lab or diagnostics, we would call the on call doctors. Many would just want me to read what the results say and what meds theyre taking. But I have trouble with communicating to some doctors who want an in-depth information about the patient. It's so difficult to find the right answers. Id say "Doctor, this pt has this diagnosis, age this, takes these medications, she was ordered these because she had symptoms of this" then the doctor would be like "be more elaborative with your information. You know her more than me." But due to poor endorsement, and patients being new to our facility, the area being busy, and me not working at their bedside, it's difficult to know how they were in their baseline. Im the desk nurse and the med nurses are the ones who really spend time with bedside care. Paperworks are my responsibility. So there were times when i would excuse myself and run to the med nurse and have them talk to the doctor, and if they dont know either they would just say "i dont know her doctor, she just came in a couple of hours ago so i dont know how she was in the past." Then the doctors would just kinda sound as if they give up. Any tips on how i can be a better informant to on call doctors? Im a new grad by the way so im still picking up ideas from coworkers. What else do they wanna know when they ask for more elaborative details? It's not common to talk to on call doctors who are super detailed, most of them are really easy going but i want to know what to say to doctors who want more infos

one more thing, can i send paperworks in two states simultaneously? like imma send one in cali and one in new jersey? just in case cali denies it? í ½í¸…

thanks! that should do the work..i might send it to CA BON from maryland since my family's in cali. i might get denied but they want me to try anyways since some of the people i know who graduated in the same school as i did were approved. so in Cali i know cgfns isnt mandatory

hi. so i got all whats needed in the application for nclex and am currently still in the philippines. im a us citizen but i graduated in the philippines. i was wondering if i can take those paperworks (that my school's supposed to send tomy state's BON ie transcript, course description, etc) with me? coz my flight will be in 2 weeks and im not sure if my $200+ will be worth it for sending the documents from Philippines to USA. I dont want any Snail mail going on which i heard from many people. I wanna know if i can take them with me and send them via fedex there in maryland. Thanks
