    RNs being phased out of urgent care?

    2BS Nurse replied to cowan19's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    We staff both MAs and RNs. The RNs are required to be ACLS certified. If you only have LPNs and paramedics, you must not be running

    Primary care in urgent care

    2BS Nurse replied to travelRN555's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If "door to discharge time" were expected to be one hour in our UC, they would need to get us 2 more providers, more lab staff, 2 more Xray techs with more equipement, etc, etc. I have heard there...

    Primary care in urgent care

    2BS Nurse replied to travelRN555's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Everyone gets checked in, however, the provider can decide to not charge them. We would triage a child with a Fx and send them out if we can't treat them. EMTALA only applies to ERs (not free standing...

    Job offer. Urgent care

    2BS Nurse replied to aerorunner80's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What urgent care provider out there sees 3 patients/hour. Is this place still in business? Just wondering if you found they were honest with

    Within scope or not

    2BS Nurse replied to Priscilla K Addo's topic in Aesthetics

    I believe this would depend on your state's nurse practice act. RNs and MAs can do a lot in my state. There are multiple treatments for warts (liquid nitrogen, canthardin/podophyllin, laser, candida...

    Are there any certifications I can take to increase my salary??

    2BS Nurse replied to Hcc19's topic in General Nursing

    You can't make 6 figures as a RN in my area unless you've worked maybe 20+ years. If I worked a 3rd shift ER program, I could make around $92,000/year because of the differential. There are limits to...

    Failed class, still continued, not fair

    2BS Nurse replied to Anon143's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree. This unfair situation is preparing you for the field of nursing. You will encounter this with some future jobs you may hold and will have to decide what you can and cannot

    Most of the class cheating??

    2BS Nurse replied to Katherin7's topic in General Students

    This sounds bizarre to me. Nobody could have cheated on exams where I attended school. They watched us like hawks. Can you look up the NCLEX pass rate online in your

    Between a Rock and a Hard Place

    2BS Nurse replied to StillSearchingRN's topic in General Nursing

    Are you swiping "no meal deduction" on the days when you don't get a lunch? As an hourly employee (in my state), it's illegal for a lunch deduction to be taken when you can't leave the building. As...

    Nurses and Bullying: 4 Things You Can Do

    2BS Nurse replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone else think it's strange how we get bullying articles posted on the company's website (or emailed to us). "How to recognize bullying", etc, but everyone knows you can't get fired for...

    Code Blue: Just Trying Figure Out What Happened?

    2BS Nurse replied to Binz's topic in General Nursing

    If this were my parent, I would be thinking "I'm glad she got to have a meal before she passed". It sounds like this person was very sick. Something that has always stuck with me said by an ACLS...

    What do you do when the thing that makes you a great nurse manager is also your primary source of burnout?

    2BS Nurse replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I'm floored when I see the salaries posted so low for RN supervisors. It's no wonder they can't fill the positions!! Any other industry would pay $125,00/year for a management position of that

    Need Advice on Accused Medication Error

    2BS Nurse replied to Shannon Dull Dunlevy's topic in General Students

    This makes me sad and is a reminder of how much I HATED my school clinicals. I documented and hung out in my patients' rooms as much as possible to get through them. I loved the instructor comments...

    What do you do when the thing that makes you a great nurse manager is also your primary source of burnout?

    2BS Nurse replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Kudos to you. Where I work the manager NEVER works clinically and doesn't really understand what's going on. I would take one day/month from my supervisor! Staffing is a national problem and it's...

    Am I too stupid to be a nurse?

    2BS Nurse replied to iconicqueen's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think this is typical for an office setting either. Definitely the exception. Most office settings I've worked in are fast-paced and short-staffed. Patients typically don't die in offices...
