I experienced the same thing as I float around to different providers at a primary care clinic. It's true that each provider is different and it can get a little confusing at times. We have found that if we keep a sheet in our screening room right by...

I haven't worked in a primary care clinic for very long, but I do feel like a lot of what I do is try to provide good education. We have a lot of patients that come into our clinic that have no idea what their hypertension numbers should be at or dia...

So I work in a primary care clinic and we do a lot of well child checks. For me the biggest thing was learning about the different schedules for immunizations. And then learning how to be assertive enough with parents when you need their help with th...

I have been working at a primary care clinic for the last 8 months as their lead clinical nurse and also the patient educator. I had not graduated more than 2 weeks when I got the interview. After working here for the last few months I think the bigg...

Hi! I am a new grad who graduated back in May. I got a job almost immediately after passing NCLEX working in a community health clinic. My official title is Patient Educator and I do a lot of teaching with our chronic patients. Recently, they made me...

Thanks for the great responses! I have been doing weekly checks of expired meds and also trying to get expired supplies out of our store room (which is bigger task than I thought it would be). I am trying to let providers know that I am available to ...

Hi! I had the same fear by the time I started my job. It had been almost four months since I had done anything nursing related. For me though I needed a mental break from school and then from the stress of NCLEX, so I didn't do any reviewing. When I ...

For my school I had to take a Kaplan exit exam and if I didn't pass then I had to pay for an ATI online review course. I was so worried about passing that exit exam that I took all of the q trainer questions in Kaplan. It ended up working out well si...

Hi! I took nclex-rn and I also felt that I had a lot of basic questions. One question I got asked was about cigarette smoking with an oxygen tank (I had to pick the situation that wasn't appropriate). I felt that a lot of my questions, I would person...

My advice to you is to make sure you take as many practice quizzes as possible. I tried to read in a review book, but it wasn't doing it for me. So then I decided to just do practice quizzes and then go over each question I did. I found this helped m...

I graduated from nursing school in May and took boards August 1st. I really wanted to take boards right away, but in Arizona it can take a little bit to get your ATT because you have to wait for your school's official transcripts to be released. I re...

I used Kaplan to help prepare for NCLEX and I averaged probably at 63% on the qbank and I did all of the trainer tests. I did about 50 questions from Kaplan every single day, even if there were some that were repeats. As far as the trainers go, I act...

I know this post is old, but I was wondering what happened with the program you were wanting to start Scrub

I float back and forth between a family practice clinic and an urgent care clinic (they are right across the street from each other and owned by the same company). In the clinic I do more of a teaching role and work very closely with the MAs. The MAs...

I have been working at primary care clinic for a little bit and I feel this way as well. That being said, I have identified areas where I feel the nursing judgment would be more appropriate. For example, the teaching that the MAs provide at our clini...

My husband and I lived in Fort Defiance AZ for two years. He was a PA in the family practice clinic and I went to nursing school in Gallup NM. The hospital in Fort Defiance hires quite a few travel nurses and so does the hospital in Gallup NM. Either...

Hi! I too am wondering how to experience or find good learning material for wound care. I am a new grad in a primary care clinic and it has been expressed to me that wound care would be a good service to provide to our patients, but I have no one tha...

Hi babaloo8! I am too am wondering how to get experience with wound care without having someone to shadow or work beside in a primary care clinic. Any resources that you have found to be helpful I would love to hear about. Thanks!
