1. Disrespect & Profanity

   lpn164 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

   I guess I didn't respond to your final question. I am not going to tell you my name, but if I were in a doctors office or hospital I really don't care if you call me by my first name my last name or...

2. Disrespect & Profanity

   lpn164 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

   I am in ambulatory internal medicine - I am not on a floor treating a patient for a 12 hour shift and potentially for several days - If I were then I would want to get more personal. I see 26-30...

3. Disrespect & Profanity

   lpn164 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

   So I am going to be "Frank" for me I am so annoyed with anyone who has a problem with what I call them. If it is part of your name it is your name, I do not know your preference, I do not know your...

   Hi everyone, I am an ambulatory LPN in a very fast paced Internal Medicine office. We are under our hospital standards. We are up for a mock survey this week for JACHO and are in the window for the...

5. Do you have an SOP for patients who vagal?

   lpn164 replied to tippeny's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

   This is old but hopefully my response will help future nurses. We have a LONG running LPN in our office 25 years+ in nursing if not more, you would think she would be a great educator or mentor to go...

6. I think our country needs a central repository for lab orders, imaging orders and prescription orders

   lpn164 replied to Lemon Bars's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

   That would be lovely. However insurance is the controller of who and where a patient can go. Typically it seems the harder they make it for the patient the more money they get. Sad but

7. Daily huddles

   lpn164 replied to Regina2's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

   I predominantly room patients and perform basic POC testing. I use to huddle with my provider with a printed schedule and write down testing or questions that needed to be addressed but now I know my...

8. The avalanche of prior authorizations

   lpn164 replied to pebblebeach's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

   I am so thankful to no longer have to do referrals as my current employer has a dedicated person to do this and we also have a concierge service now as well. However I have done my fair share for...

9. MA for a boss?

   lpn164 replied to guest464345's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

   One of the bigger problems in privately owned practices are just this. The doctors can mold and train anyone to do anything if they are willing to do it. A lot of times the person does not know that...

10. Spanish speaking patient phone calls

    Why can't you call the translator and have them listen to the

11. Rash triage

    lpn164 replied to CeciliaBlue's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I definitely think it is rather insulting to anyone to tell them to wait outside the lobby. If they are in the hall/elevator etc the people in the lobby will likely travel those same places within 2...

12. Change in duties at interview

    lpn164 replied to cobrit's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Id say NOPE and move on, they are looking for someone to fill a larger position and use them to do an underling position as well then blame you when your main job is not done correctly. RED

13. Medical office-Drama

    lpn164 replied to aMayaMora's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I would stick it out until after delivery, upon return - do you like this job other than this one person? if so I would take it up with management again and demand something be done to correct the...
