    In the scenario mentioned, it appears management and supervision are lacking in this outpatient primary care office. As the new Family Nurse Practitioner in the office, my first logical response to the chaos would be to request a meeting with the person who is supposed to be in charge or their superior.

For an office to run smoothly there needs to be someone in charged.…

    RN III to Clinical Nurse Resource Promotion I graduated from nursing school in 2011 and accepted my first nursing position here at Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare Saint Joseph Hospital in the Emergency Department that same year. I started my orientation with two other staff nurses and began working independently after eight weeks. I remember that I felt so unsure of myself and was frequently asking others for their input on patient cares. After I had been here for about one year, I recall I found this new confidence in my ability to care for my patients. I had begun to grow an encompassing knowledge of involving the different disciplines and the vast contributions a multidisciplinary approach has on patient care.…

I was blessed to be able to attend a government subsidized school where you have to compete with the top students in the region to get into the program that allowed only 60 students per year. As I began interacting with patients, nursing was not just an opportunity, it became a passion. I really love and enjoy nursing and helping people. I finished nursing school in 1993 in Cebu City, Philippines.…
