  1. My best advice for you is NOT to contact nurse managers directly. As one, I can tell you the numbers of emails I get on a daily basis can easily top 150. That's in addition to the number of people who "pop" into my office to talk about something, plu...
  2. Giving Two Weeks on Weekend Shift?

    Unfortunately, what you needed to do was give at least a two week notice, this is considered standard and professional in almost all areas. PLEASE don't stick a note under the door, that's even worse than unprofessional. You need to get into contact ...
  3. General peds questions

    I'm a manager that "grew up" on my inpatient cardiac pediatric cariology floor after coming to it from the adult cardiac world, so I understand! I'll give you my thoughts as well as some interview advice. Peds is definitely different. The two bigges...
  4. Failing nclex 6 times

    Kudos to you for still trying. One thing you have not mentioned is what your test taking skills are like. Do you get nervous? Do you "change answers" at the last minute and then find out later you were right all along? Do you hurry through the questi...
  5. Hi everyone! I am a pediatric nurse wanting to present and write about the great strides our area has made in physician/nurse bedside rounding. However, I've had several docs tell me that bedside rounding is not a priority in the adult world! In my ...
  6. Hi everyone! I'm a fairly new nurse manager (since September) who works in a pediatric hospital. I've worked on the same unit for years so I'm intimately familiar with the ins/outs of the unit and staffing required. This year is one of the first th...
  7. My hospital managers are looking into what our official stance should be on our PCA's (patient care assistants- they all have their State tested nursing aide certification - but otherwise all experience is on the job training) addressing alarms. (We ...
  8. I'm a fairly new manager who came up through the ranks, I.e. was staff nurse, than clinical leader, now manager. So I know all of the staff well, some better than others. I'm finding that rounding on the unit, (asking how things are going, generally...
  9. Hi and good luck! When our unit has many applicants we occasionally use this method. Basically a panel interview consists of different people (the makeup can vary) all being given the opportunity to hear your answers to various questions at once. It'...
  10. Question for the Nurse Managers out there.

    I am a clinical leader on a busy pediatric unit- and conduct interviews along with my manager. I certainly would not think any less of a nurse with a corrections background. Around in my area, jobs are getting somewhat scarce, and we hire a lot of ne...
  11. I'm cross-posting this from the nursing management board for more replies. I'm a clinical leader in a busy pediatric hospital. Lately we've realized that we do very little to reward or recognize our more tenured staff. We want to be able to let thes...
  12. I'm a clinical leader on a unit in a busy pediatric hospital. While we do have a "younger" staff, lately it's been brought to our attention that we do very little to nothing to reward or recognize our tenured staff. (our "tenured" staff runs from 5-1...
  13. Anyone familiar with Epic?

    We have EPIC where I work. The implementation was huge, and everyone associated worked long hours but was very valued. I think it would be a great opportunity. It is a very good program that has a TON of room to grow, no matter what versions go live....
  14. Anne- I took your survey, good luck with your dissertation! I'm sure you are terribly busy and may not remember, but I would love to get a copy of what you find out and come up with! I work on a busy pediatric cardiology floor and we are looking at ...
  15. Any "50-ish" Pre-Nursing Students?

    I just wanted to say that I'm a clinical instructor for a local college and have had numerous over 50 students. (I'm 33). Each student has taught me so much and has blown me away with their commitment to becoming a nurse. They bring so much life expe...
