3. Question: Risk Manager Job Duties - This is my new job

   eltrip replied to Mozzie's topic in Quality Improvement

   I started in risk management 3 months ago. I deal with clinical issues only. I start my day off by looking for new entries in our occurence reporting system. If there's something urgent to investigate, I'll look at it briefly. If not, I move on t...

   tina_72us, let me second Mahage's welcome! I've been in the area for 10 years & love the view of Signal Mountain from my house & the view of Lookout, Raccoon & Elder Mountains on my short commute in to work every morning!

5. Tidewater Community College Nursing School

   eltrip replied to ngillilan1's topic in General Nursing

   Does the Commonwealth of Virginia have any sort of grants available to state residents? That, in addition to checking on scholarships, would be worth a try. Good luck to you! regards from eltrip, '81 grad of Churchland High School

   Fortwood?

7. Should we chart in 24-hour time?

   eltrip replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

   I've never heard of any facility not using the 24-hour clock. I'm surprised that someone would actually ask for "real person time". I would probably suggest that this person subtract 12 as well.

8. Chattanooga Hiring Freezes?

   eltrip replied to MtGypsy's topic in Tennessee

   As I understand, nursing is hiring but internal candidates receive preference. I'd go for it. The worst that can happen is that you might not get called for an interview. Good luck to you!

9. Where are W/C CM jobs in TN or anywhere?

   eltrip replied to lynnintn's topic in Case Management

   Check out Blue Cross' website: http://www.bcbst.com They have positions all over the state. I saw a few that specifically requested case management experience. Good luck to you!

10. How can we protect the nurses?

    eltrip replied to hdhnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's time to consult an attorney about workplace violence. It is also time to try to find a safer position, if at all possible. If risk management won't assist, perhaps your area news outlet will?

    I'm crossing my fingers. Things are getting interesting now, with all of the Erlanger budget cuts.

13. Pulling Hair Advice (No really pulling hair)

    eltrip replied to onerzray's topic in Tennessee

    I am shocked. The instructor knows (or SHOULD know) what the definitions of assault and battery are in this state. The instructor should know better. You must report this to the Dean of Nursing, asap. Sandnnw is right.

    Thanks for the information. I'm writing my legislators right now!

15. When coworkers make prejudiced statements

    eltrip replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    No, mike7evans, all people from TN aren't crazy, no matter how our family trees branch, fork, or wreath. Just the paranoid, militia types who build bombs (and bury them for future use), stockpile machine guns & think they're smarter than everyon...
