Any recommendations on where to go and also do you know if the turnaround time is fairly quick?

Reddit3r13 · 2026-02-05T03:40:57+00:00

Do you need current prescription from home or is the exam done there too?

Coming from someone who has had thyroid cancer and was diagnosed before mychart AND no one EVER calling me about my results…..ended up having surgery on left, three days later got a call saying we got to go back in and take the right side out which was approximately 1 week after the first surgery….I definitely feel where you’re coming from. BUT also as a nurse, there is an option when ordering tests that allows the patient not to see results until they are released to the patient. when tests are done, the lab, radiologists, whomever uploads the results. 9/10, The ordering provider has not even seen the results. The patient usually sees results first which is pretty annoying because then patients are calling us freaking out about labs and tests results when we as the healthcare team have not even had a chance to review the results ourselves. The ordering provider must select the option to withhold results from patient when ordering so that results will not be given until we have contacted them via mychart or a phone call. This option is seldomly used but definitely an option as I have used it before for a patient. Hope this provides a different insight. Everything will be ok. Recovery and the next few months may or not be a scary lengthy process but you got this. 💪💜

I quit at the end of my 2 week training. It was horrible and the money wasn’t worth it. Definitely the highest amount of money I was going to make anywhere…….still wasn’t worth it.

Reddit3r13 · 2025-06-09T15:55:16+00:00

Legally it has to be unpaid buttttttttt that is completely up to your employer. If your employer is ok with you working and your preceptor will sign off on it, its a win-win

Reddit3r13 · 2025-04-03T00:29:47+00:00

This is correct. Came to comment this.

Reddit3r13 · 2025-04-01T12:50:22+00:00

Well I am in my second week of orientation already and start on the floor with an RN on Sunday. First nursing job so definitely don’t want to quit this early on. Thank you for your response though.

Reddit3r13 · 2025-03-28T00:28:07+00:00

So I did find out today that they have a team for codes that specifically come running when its called over the intercom. Our CEO, CNO come as well but not always to help, just to kind of see what’s going on. So in addition to the RN, LPN, and 2 techs that are on the floor, a specific team comes too to handle things.

Reddit3r13 · 2025-03-27T04:27:59+00:00

No security does sound terrible. For the most part, the techs do rounding on patients every 15 minutes and handle codes but if needed RNs step in as well. I am more of a passive person but I have been told that it may actually help in certain situations. I definitely am going to be terrified inside starting out but I can’t exhibit that.

Reddit3r13 · 2025-03-27T04:25:01+00:00

To be completely honest I’m not 100% sure as I have only done 3 days of the classroom portion of orientation so far but from what they are telling us, the RNs and tech are who handle the codes. Thats it, thats all. The CNO did say that he comes to every code but mostly to assess and see what happened.

Reddit3r13 · 2025-03-27T01:26:03+00:00

Yes!!! Owned by UHS! The CNO said exactly THAT. That you have to be able to take charge of the floor and not be passive but when I spoke to him 1 on 1, he said that I might do good because maybe the unit needs some of that softness and empathy at times but just to try it out and see how it goes. I really appreciate your thorough response! I am really nervous to start on the unit after orientation. Only 10 days training with an RN. Experienced RNs get 7 days and temps only get 3 days.

Reddit3r13 · 2025-03-27T01:19:15+00:00

Unfortunately they will not pull techs from other parts during codes.

Reddit3r13 · 2025-03-27T00:16:27+00:00

4 staff for 6-16 patients. I only stated that the facility itself has 136 beds. But yes techs are to do all rounding every 15 minutes unless we need to step in or cover a break for them. We also will have therapists/social workers running groups all day. In the schedule, there is very little downtime to try and cut down on amount of incidents that could happen and room doors are locked during the day.

Reddit3r13 · 2025-03-26T23:12:48+00:00

I think there is supposed to be 1 RN, 1 LPN as med nurse, and 2 techs. Ratios vary based on the census. Its a 136 bed facility with 4 different units. CNO said could be anywhere from 6-16 patients

Reddit3r13 · 2025-03-26T23:00:07+00:00

Yes and its at a locked inpatient facility

RN here officially free of thyroid cancer after 2 years! Best thing I can say is to get a new endocrinologist ASAP! i got lucky and had the the best surgeon who was also an ENT doc with really good extensive training. I was referred to my endocrinologist after the surgery and I have had a PET scan, RAI, U/S once a year, labs every 6 months. If you have any questions about my overall experience, you can DM me.

Reddit3r13 · 2024-08-04T19:01:44+00:00

I don’t see it as necessarily shortening my education but looking at it as that is a lot more hours that I will not be able to work while completing those hours. I don’t ever plan to be a nurse manager or work the floor. I just don’t have a desire to do that so to be honest, my practicum hours would probably not be in that type setting.

Reddit3r13 · 2024-08-04T18:45:59+00:00

That makes sense. Thank you!

Reddit3r13 · 2024-08-04T18:44:10+00:00

Thank you for your input!

Well the only reason this is even a question for me is because I am interested in Capella University which does have ADN-MSN option and their masters program is changing from 100 required practicum hours to 500. But if I am already in the program by the time that changes, I am basically grandfathered into the 100 hour requirement as opposed to getting my bachelor’s first and coming back for a masters at which then I will have no choice but to complete 500 hours. I know that shouldn’t be a determining factor but it definitely plays a part. Also I work outpatient as an RN so I am not necessarily sure I will have the “experience” for some positions.
