Hi Fishes,
Need 11 likes asap. Please help
Saw this in another bowl and wanted to pass it along for awareness. Please consider using natural options if you color and embrace your natural hair. The same goes for using organic cotton pads, a lot of hygiene/beauty products are killing women. http://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/hair-straightening-chemicals-associated-higher-uterine-cancer-risk
I feel like crying every day before work.

They will be looking for candidates that can see volume. So share strengths like multitasking, time management etc. People often complain when they don’t get antibiotic so when they ask “tell me a time about a difficult patient” offer up your ability to value antibiotic stewardship and educate while leaving the patient satisfied. Former APP director of 31 urgent cares. Hope this helps!
Always check the leads before you panic on cardiacs. Not every patient is in VFib or STEMI.
Right productivity. Make sure that you have strong administrators that insist on team players. Productivity pay will result in being bullied if you are a nice person. For example I worked at a place where one provider would "give"you her 85 year old who has a laceration after fall, and take your family 5 with normal vitals and "cold symptoms." That 85 year old needs to be screened as to why she fell and you may have to suture. In the end you spend 1/2 hour with the 85 year old as ethically you need to make sure she does not need a longer evaluation. Your "friend" in the meantime gets pats on the back at your expense for seeing more patients than you.
As a former mgr. most of my providers left family medicine for urgent care
It’s one and done no continuation of care headaches
3 12 hrs shifts and that’s it
One of the best jobs I have ever had in nursing. I’m no longer working at urgent care because I relocated out of state. Most satisfying job to me. As long as you have a great crew. When it’s busy our motto was get them in and get them out!
I am posting 5 months later. I hope if you went into urgent care you got a good team. Urgent care has a high burn out rate. I worked in California In Rural Urgent Cares where they would use it as family practice/urgent care and they were constantly short staffed. Management was so incompetant they would misinterpret the agreement to see all patients that presented to get their extra 15 dollars per patient that we would be closing and they would accept 10 more patients. I would have to work 2 hours beyond closing and they had to pay everyone ovvertime. It can get ridiculous.
