    A little backstory: I spent 8 months in a clinic float pool that quickly got changed to a covid testing team. I basically tested and triaged covid patients for the entirety of this assignment. I made...

    Help, please :)

    Sbhayes09 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, I have been tasked with altering the work flow for some of our "high maintenance" teams at our clinic. The providers regularly complain about the amount of time they have with a patient after...

    Sbhayes09 posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    So I'm currently staffing a covid testing site and what was supposed to be a temporary assignment has become much more long term. I'm exploring my options for a bigger challenge. I like to be able to...

    Is this a safety concern?

    Sbhayes09 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I recently had to be tested for covid at my own testing site due to some nausea I had while at work. One of my coworkers tested me and when I got home, I looked at my online chart just to see what it...

    Is this a safety concern?

    Sbhayes09 replied to Sbhayes09's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I can see both sides of the argument. I think if a patient wanted to request this information through the formal channels so that there is a paper trail and people would know that the patient was...

    Sbhayes09 posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    So, I've been working at a "temporary" covid testing site since mid March. I'm part of the ambulatory float pool (basically a fill-in nurse for the outpatient clinics) and when covid hit, all the...

    Sbhayes09 replied to Sbhayes09's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm feeling those same pressures. I'm not in the same environment but working when you're exhausted and running on fumes is super difficult. I'm glad you were able to change to float for the COVID...

    Sbhayes09 replied to Sbhayes09's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Absolutely, I'm so sorry you're having the same feelings I am. It's a terrible place to be right now. I've called the employee mental health line one time in May when I realized that the "temporary"...

    Sbhayes09 replied to Sbhayes09's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Thank you! I haven't had to be on meds in about 8 years but I'm also a new grad thrust into a pandemic on day one. It's very reassuring to know that I'm not the only

    Sbhayes09 replied to Sbhayes09's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Thank you so much. I guess everyone is feeling the pressure right now. I know there are a ton of nurses that have it way worse than I do but the struggle is real no matter where you're assigned. I...

    My Ultimate Warning based on personal Experience with COVID+ patients and co-workers.

    Sbhayes09 replied to theoneandonly's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I've been working in a screening clinic and testing patients daily. On the ambulatory side of this coin, none of my co-workers or myself have contracted the virus. We also see the not so sick versions...

    Sbhayes09 replied to Sophie212's topic in General Nursing

    I got one of these cushy jobs as a new grad but you have to look outside of the hospital. My job is in our hospitals clinic float pool. I travel between family practices and specialty clinics. I work...
