In this episode of the Practice Partners Podcast, we dive into the importance of accountability at the nurse’s station, covering:
✅ Ensuring your team owns treatment room processes and procedures
✅ Stock management: no more last-minute shortages or over-spending
✅ Opportunistic billings: capturing every eligible service
✅ Managing recalls, reminders, and results with precision
✅ How to create a culture where nurses lead, own, and deliver

When the nurses' station is smooth sailing, the whole practice runs better. Let's make accountability non-negotiable.

Let’s be honest — there are questions we all wish we could ask in interviews to avoid hiring drama, gossip, or a walking HR case. In this episode of the Practice Partners Podcast, we’re saying what everyone’s thinking.

We cover:
✅ The red flags that never show up on a resume
✅ The brutally honest (and wildly inappropriate) questions we wish we could ask
✅ How to actually get to the truth — without breaking any HR laws

These questions are unfiltered. They're made for a laugh. And they should be avoided at all costs.
