Where do you nurse?

I work in an office with a group of retinal specialists, doing IV infusions for angiography and for laser treatment. I'm the only RN (actually, only nurse of any kind) in the office. I'm responsible only for myself!- Previous job was as RN coordinator for a large IVF clinic, where it felt like I was responsible for everyone and everything.Love everything about this new job!

I have a question for the polls I haven't seen here yet.
Where do you nurse, hospital/homehealth/hospice/nursing home/ clinic?
Second question what is your speciality?
Me, I work in a clinic where we deal with cancer patients from dr visits to chemo therapy and everyrthing in between and beyond.

Boy! So many intesting jobs! What an interesting thread! I do LDRP.

I'm on a hospital telemetry unit that also does stroke and med-surg for the >60 set.

The new name for this diagnostic mishmosh is "Progressive Care" and we have to take a very intense course that teaches us a lot of patho, meds, and stuff for the typical diagnoses we'll see on the unit, such as CHF, MI, pneumonia, sepsis, and stuff like that. Oh, and we have to know how to read EKGs. ACLS training doesn't hurt either.

Yeah, I love it. I'm just a sucker for a good time. :chuckle

I work in Non medical home health I am head of services and .We do all kinds of PT's We work with hospice,in hospitals as sitters .In assisted livings as private care aides. In the home as aides /homemakers and We also travel with the Pt when needed. We have a wide range of Pt's from the mentally challenged ,brain injured ,to just to people who need help in the home or companionship shopping .Or just needs assistance with bathing and dressing.In the morning

I personally set up care with the PT's family and Pt write the plan of care .I also market for My company with other companies .

Then I introduce the aide on first day of care Then Teach each aide what I expect with each and every Patient right down to Physically showing them how to transfer that Pt right in front of the Pt. So both the Pt and the aide know what's expected ,check the aide to make sure he /she can do it .

Our aides must have two years of practical experience before we will even consider hiring them for Pt care in the home.

Then I go back and supervise the aide to see with the family how the aide is doing .

I love my job its the best.
