An amazing book for urgent care that I have used during my clinical is Minor Emergencies: Expert Consult by Philip Buttaravoli. It is clear concise and straight to the point.

[@fromcnatonp]

Thank you so much! I will pin your comment so others can see and I will def check the book out

[@wendye2916]

I am coming up on my 1 year in UC. My UC is pretty slow, but there is this culture of “speed” that needs to be recalibrated in my opinion. An UC is there because you could not see your PCP and/or you have a stable emergency, yet I find over and over that if someone has to wait more than 20 minutes they leave a bad review or just leave. I wish we could message that an “urgent care” only means we can see you for your concern, but there are others who deserve the same consideration and might be ahead of you. I feel if I’m keeping to 1 patient every 15 minutes, I’m winning. I’m not breaking my spirit or harming my patient because I’m forced to move too fast in order to get a 5 star google review. Nope!

[@fromcnatonp]

Yea! You are so right. The rush that they want you do is insane. All the best

[@lolawilliams8401]

Thanks for sharing Lori ,its important that Influencers share the truth.No sugar coating here hunnie!

[@fromcnatonp]

You are so welcome

[@niomivitalis4549]

I don't think you are complaining a lot, I'm happy for your honesty because not many people are this open. Also I understand why you don't want people to wait, so you put the charting aside to see and accommodation more patients but girl just keep at it little by little you will get to a day where you not charting at home.

[@nichollemarie5528]

Love you, Laurie! You’re so raw & real; you don’t complain too much! I enjoy your content so much, keep it up, lady!

[@fromcnatonp]

Thank you so much!!

[@sashinhanson8291]

You are an amazing provider!!! You are real and honest and that’s what I like about you!! Keep it up! 🇯🇲

[@fromcnatonp]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@xiomaragomez6649]

New NP here and I refuse to not enjoy my lunch and pee whenever I want to. Those days where for bedside. I agree with you, pts will have to wait and understand. I'm going to try your tip on charting. See a few, chart on few. Thanks 🤗

[@kristenowen5297]

I am 6 months in as an urgent care NP and I agree with a lot of what you've said! One thing I might add is make a notebook and take the time to find youtube videos or podcasts referencing subjects you may not be strong in and write down a quick algorithm or step by step as your own resource. This helped me tremendously for pedi, especially antibiotics and alternative choices for allergies along with ortho. We also use Epic and I have the MModal to dictate, which I can load commands onto ("Insert strep instructions"). This has been a huge time saver.

[@kristenowen5297]

Also- I agree with you trying to see a few then chart on them before seeing more. I do this (usually) with 3 at a time. I prechart what I can (medical HX, chief complaint, VS) and chart the HPI in the room while the patient is talking, even with quick notes it can be quickly changed to be more professional after the fact. When I'm done I just fill in my physical assessment and wrap up my note. As a nurse for so many years, I'm quite done with taking work home or staying after hours to chart and 8/10 days my charting is done before I leave.

[@fromcnatonp]

Agreed. I do have my pre made notes and my little chest cheat for meds especially with pregnant pt and peds, theses area were and still my challenge

[@fabfoz]

Yessssss !!!!! ❤ 🇯🇲 Great info!!!

[@jasmineg2503]

I actually love your videos. Thank you for being sooo transparent and educational.

[@fromcnatonp]

I appreciate that!

[@urgentcaredr]

New subscriber here! I’m a new grad NP going into urgent care. So excited! By the way, we are assigned our own scribe so we don’t have to chart at all. We just sign off. Love your videos pretty lady! ❤

[@sheisasurvivor8479]

Curious: how does this work? Do they follow you around?

[@petagayfairclough9472]

I follow you on IG and didn't realize you had a KZbin. Thank you for all that you are doing. One love from another Island girl.

[@ShenryRNBSN]

Love your channel. The familiarity you provide is comforting, something I'm not used to working in this field. Especially for someone like me, male, black and Jamaican, working in a female (white) dominated profession in the states. Your delivery is the best. Bless up!

[@nurset2299]

The workload in NURSING everywhere is crazy.God has us in his hands.

[@fromcnatonp]

Most definitely is

[@cmpbstephai7082]

It's like I hear nurses trying to leave the beside for better working conditions & end up working harder as a np

[@ShelbyGunby]

Sending you ALL the grace💕 Make them wait girl. Sign your charts then move on to the next patient. We definitely have to take care of ourselves first or we will be no good and doing a disservice to the patients. Sadly, many of the patients will never understand that concept though.

[@fromcnatonp]

I have learnt my lesson bc I am no longer trying to come home with multiple charts that I need to close out.... Thanks Shelby

[@Mia-283]

You’re doing great! I’m an RN in primary care and can relate to experiencing the demands from some of these entitled patients. You don’t want to wait 30 minutes? Go to the ER, you’ll be waiting for hours. People expect concierge service without concierge money. Take your time, at the end of the day it’s your license. And those other patients can wait or leave lol.

[@chronos401]

It's not the patients' fault that medical workers haven't been demanding adequate manning levels and/or employers haven't been providing this. The system purposely sickened the population and programmed minds to seek drugs and doctors for almost everything. It doesn't teach people when to go to the PCP, UC, or ER. Medical facilities have been billing as if every patient is in the wealthy class. Between premiums, co-pays, and deductibles, people with regular insurance are expected to pay much more than concierge prices.

[@erica11717]

Great video. Urgent care is retail and healthcare.

[@fromcnatonp]

So true

[@seanmaness6381]

Love the channel. I think a lot of NP's are unwilling to disclose everything that comes with the job, for various reasons. I appreciate the straightforward videos 😊.

[@fromcnatonp]

I totally agree! thanks for watching

[@rosechen8632]

I like the truth you are talking about. I wonder why other people don't say it?

I have been a NP since 2019. I am starting a contingent position in an UC tomorrow. I am both nervous and excited. Thank so much for your honesty. Hopefully I make it past 30 days. 😂 I definitely subscribed.

Laurie, I appreciate you and very thing you share. That you for being real. Blessings to you

[@melanierose9015]

I'm currently a preop nurse. Usually complaints of OR delays are reserved for us... because we do any scheduling or surgery right?! Anyway one time a patient confronted the surgeon. His response was perfect. "I watch the patient and what I'm doing, not the clock." Inside I thought 🎤 drop

[@titilolakelly116]

What is the salary/wages like for an NP at urgent care? I was thinking you will touch on that a little bit and if the pay matches or relatively OK with the workload. Thanks.

[@fromcnatonp]

No problem, I will definitely make video about this when I compare my other job with urgent care. I make more in UC

[@merryb6646]

A very informative video. And you are not complaining. You are speaking truthfully, and that is important. We're so geared to be "positive," and that can be harmful because so many things get glossed over and swept under the rug, and that helps no one. Random question, if you need to look something up, do you pull up your books and apps in front of the patient? How do you handle that?

[@chenicquajones2445]

Was wondering the same

[@kimberleewellington9885]

I myself have thought about going back to school to become an NP. I have learnt so much from you, I look forward to your videos. I agree with you there needs be more providers who are honest about their roles. Thanks for doing what you do.

[@fromcnatonp]

Thanks so much my dear… are you still considering NP?

[@faithrichard2263]

Nice video! Great tips.

[@truinright]

Good Job on your first 30 days Laurie! It’s interesting to hear your side of the story as the provider. When I go into urgent care, I’m always the patient so I never knew what happens “behind the scenes”…seems pretty intense! Seems like one step away from the ER 😂 Keep fighting the good fight (until you can’t fight anymore) many blessings 🇧🇸🇯🇲

[@AskTheBiller]

Hi Laurie. I’m a new subscriber and love your content. Also, a fellow Jamaican 🇯🇲 and medical billing instructor. Any reason with that volume they don’t have (2) NPs working the shifts?! Is their only concern saving money?

It was a training for life.i left nursing afterb4 yrs of this training completely burned out.

[@Nieceylocs]

I have a question am a new nurse just four months working. I did agency for a week for nursing home I was crying, now am working at a assisted living and I also work at a nursing home for a month. What the best place to work as to new nurse to learn a lot of things. Am a LPN

[@fromcnatonp]

My opinion is that to get good experience, I think LATCH is great for that, not nursing home. Not sure where you live and if you can work in a hospital setting, but the LTACH you get vented, trach, pt on telemetry etc. Nursing home nope, you get to pass pills on a med cart for multiple pt most of the time ( not always) The LTACH I have done a supervisor position at and also as a floor nurse, there you get 5-6 pt but the experience is great if you are a new LPN and want really good nursing experience. All the best my dear. Also hospital if you can get into one.

[@xiomaragomez6649]

The best option is to update your resume and determine your nursing goal. Do you want money over skills & assessment? Inpatient hospital setting will be your best bet for the 2nd option. Good luck.

[@jacquelinesmith9450]

What is LATCH? I am also a new LPN who just left the nursing home. I refused to jeopardize patient safety and lose my license.

[@Nieceylocs]

@@fromcnatonp thank you for these tip. Am in florida

[@fromcnatonp]

LTACH is long term Acute care hospital, this is something like a select specialty hospital. These places does have its fair share of shit show, however the question was to get hood nursing experience, you will definitely learn a lot a different things
