Any of you here have classmates who were previously foreign medical graduates or MDs in other countries? I have some in our class and they seem to call themselves "MD-RN". Just wondering.

I don’t know what happened but my original message got deleted so here goes i work in a large practice and they hired a new MD who complains about his assigned office because he felt it was too small for him and he wanted a window. I heard from the...

Marry a doctor ? no stress there! you can even audition for real housewives or married to medicine ? I'm just joking!

One female doctor did the same thing last week to another older male doctor and the manager allowed it because the older male doctor only works twice a week (part-time) in our practice. And I feel like now, it's my turn. I'm really sad and disappoin...

This is what worries me. This happened before in my previous workplace. The exact SAME THING and that previous practice never gave me a chance to speak up and you’re right, they treated me worse after that but this time, the new doctor is a cousin-re...

I knew one physician who quit her practice because she assumed (or was promised) better financial outcomes. She moved her family from another state to wherever they were and a few months later, she was very upset because it was not what it seemed. ...

This is just a work rant but I need to vent somewhere LOL I'm just a full-time salaried provider in a private practice. All providers have their own MA/scribe but when my supervising MD's long-time MA resigned (due to a salary dispute), our office m...

First, no one in my family including distant cousins have ever served in the military. That's why I'm posting my question here. I'm single with no kids. Im interested in joining/applying in the military (preferably Air Force given my current location...

I had to share an MA in my previous workplace with my supervising MD. She would take vitals, room patients, prep chart and help with prior autos and refills. The only thing she didn't do was scribe for me. My new workplace gave me a temp MA that doe...

The temp MA that I talked about in my first post....well, I caught her talking cr@p about me during lunch time and what for? Because I ask her to be more organized and efficient? Pardon me for having a work ethic. There's a LOT of office politics an...

Hi! My MA who has years of experience resigned due to the fact that the practice manager after 3 years wouldn't give her a raise and promoted someone else who has lesser experience. I can't blame her. It's due to office politics im sure. She was such...

I get it a lot but I don't let it get to me.

Are there any NPs here with their own practice? If so, are you the solo practitioner or do you work with other mid-levels? Since I graduated NP school, I've always been employed but now, I've been considering opening up my own practice. I'm a littl...

Hi! I have another work issue. One of the mid-levels in our practice tends to eavesdrops in my conversations/dictation almost on a daily basis. This has been going on for months now. For example, one of the MAs approached me at my desk that my pa...

She's an NP, not an MOA. We don't have a dedicated HR personnel in our practice, let alone risk mgmt. I'm just bidding my time and waiting to see the right opportunity to discuss her behavior with her. She's closed friends with the office manager ...

This is her first job as an NP and she's having a hard time coping up with the patient load. Sometimes, she would ask me questions like what to do with a particular case and I'm always willing to help but it gets on my nerves because she would ask m...

I'm thinking the same thing. She only does that only with me. I have never seen/heard her comment on how the other MD's do their dictation let alone stand by their desk watching them type their notes. Lately, I just pretend that my dictation softw...

Hi! I currently work in a large private family practice clinic with 7 MDs (5 are the owners/shareholders) and 4 mid-levels. They recently hired a new front office girl who based on my patient's feedback is very rude to the patients but when I bring ...

How do you define bad reputation?

The question is pretty much self-explanatory. I'm getting my BSN in a faith-based, private university with their own hospital. I've observed that there's such a huge difference between nurses who incorporate their faith into their nursing job compa...

Hi! I'm a BSN-RN with roughly 2 years of experience and I'm transferring from NV/CA to TX. Should I do the $25 3-week prep course for the 2-hours jurisprudence exam? I read somewhere that I can open other websites if I need any help. Is that true...

I haven't met an office manager that I actually liked. They're mostly bossy and think I'm their subordinate. I think it makes a difference when they're more educated though. The ones I've met are straight out of high school and worked as an MA for ye...

Antagonism between NPs and physicians exist everywhere. I don't think a solution will come to passim this decade. Personally, I come across physicians like this all the time and what I do is find employment where they truly welcome mid levels.

I like interacting with the patients on a daily basis in a broader capacity and I like the authority that comes with being a mid-level. I also like coming across interesting cases. I have much respect for bedside nurses but personally, with my chro...

I have a colleague who has 3-5 years NP experience in internal medicine then she switched over to a specialty clinic (I think neurology) where she worked for 7 years. She was then hired in a neurology clinic here in our state. She was fired in 3 mo...
