Treat the patient as if they were your own family member!

When the doctor is wrong and the nurse is right, but everyone still believes the doctor.

Airborne vs Droplet Isolation?

A doctor telling me to clean up the mess he just made.

I have been at my job for 15 yrs -- CNA, Unit Secretary, floor nurse who floated everywhere and did every shift possible, became charge nurse, total joint educator and now case mgr for a med/surg floor of 21 beds of the most complex patients ever... I received an offer from a popular insurance company office branch near my home. I would be managing and directing a group of 'care coordinators' in a population health setting. It's a new company that's only 2 yrs old. A doctor who I work with at the hospital referred me for this position. I'm torn & don't know what to choose. Pros: I would like to have that 'manager' profile on my resume. Interested in learning the payor side of things. I get to create my own workflow/strategy for the team to be successful in preventing readmissions. 10min closer to home. Every Friday you can wear JEANS Cons: Leaving my work family Going to the unknown Can't think of anything else?

I was in your boat 4 yrs ago. I was primarily an ortho RN x10yrs & towards the end, I just felt like a robot - doing the same thing everyday, very predictable. I knew I needed a change. An opportunity at my job opened up for a case mgmt position. I took it & was offered a little more $, but those overtime shifts & differentials def made a difference (more $) rather than being salaried. However, it is a different stress, I'm using more critical thinking skills, and I still meet w/ patients & collaborate with docs. Plus I am more involved in administration too - which is nice when the president of the hoslital says hi to you randomly and actually knows your name! Have you considered case mgmt?
