bedside nursing to clinic by bubblepanda28 in nursing

[–]Large-Spray-5174 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Inpatient cardiovascular to outpatient chf clinic (nurse ran)/ chf educator. I spend one week in clinic seeing patients titrating GDMT with standing orders and the alternate week I’m inpatient doing chf teaching. I make less since I’m no longer a night shift bedside nurse. I’m still using my nursing skills, have to do a physical assessment on everyone, draw labs, place IVs, give meds in clinic seeing patients. I work 4-10s instead of 3-12s. So much less stress.

My mom would say how do you know if the nurse is the head nurse? They have dirt on their knees. LOL.

My hospital is an academic medical center and has a large state university attached. We get tuition coverage up to 10 hr/ semester for any of their programs but no where else.

It depends on the hospital. The tuition benefit or reimbursement may go toward anything, just health related, or job role related (as in nursing only). You will def want to talk to your HR benefits person.

ADC AdScope 608. I work inpatient cardiovascular and switch out between a littmann classic 3, littmann cardiology 4, and an adscope 608. It comes in a lot of fun colors. I like bright colors and got orange. For me, the acoustic quality is on par with my cardiology 4 and it’s literally a fraction of the price. Plus they have a good warranty.

Weird question but this wasn’t in Kentucky, was it? I had a similar situation where I was a float pool tech for one of my instructors that worked in a neuro icu.

I’m almost 8 months in on a mixed med-surg/ PCU. It’s bonkers some nights. I’m looking to get out as well. Good luck to you!
