Does your camp continue to print and utilize paper health histories? If so, do you also use CampMinder or similar EHR? I would like to try to get around wasting paper and it being so cumbersome, but wondering if the paper copies are required by ACA,...

I work on the Oncology unit at AAMC. We've expandd into the new tower and the facility is wonderful. The technology is superb, as far as I'm concerned. I will admit that I only have experiance with computer charting, never done paper professionally...

Gosh, I'm feeling this right now. We've had a really rough few weeks. Morale is very low. Multiple experianced RN's have left over the past few months, leaving our 30 bed unit with an uneven mix of new grads, new hires, and a handful of RN's with ...

My thoughts are that the job market is very tough for both currently. Most folks I know who have been hired have done so one of two ways: a) been hired onto a unit where they were employed as a tech during school B) made some connections to a hospit...

I am also a new grad night shift RN. Trained on days, and moved to nights three months ago. My assessments have changed radically, timing wise, because I feel that one of my patient care goals is ensuring that my patients get some uninterupted rest...

I am a new grad there, and so far have truly enjoyed the experiance. I know it depends on unit, but the beginning pay was as good as some DC hospitals, and better than many of the university hospitals. It also happens to be a mile from my house- wh...
Yes, I agree. Also, I noticed that on their list of support courses, such as the Chemistry, Micro, A&P1&2, Nutrition, Psychology...all these courses are listed as 5 credits. I have completed two degrees now (BS HlEd and ADN), and never have ...
Thanks! I think I misread it the first time. The CCNE visit was this spring, doesn't expire until 12/11. Knowing that they have all of these great, pleased students helps.
Does anyone have any updated information on OU's accreditation status? I thought I read that they were up for review this past Spring, but I can't find them listed as approved on either the NLNAC or CCNE web site. Should this be a concern?

We have great little booklets from the American cancer Society. They actually helped me as a new nurse when I couldn't find anything between my Med Surg text and the ONC review book. I wonder if you can purchase them inexpensively through ACS?

I have only seen it come in a IVPB at our hospital. I can't remember but I think it comes 50mL and goes in over 15 minutes? Scheduled Q6 usually. We do Q6 urine PH also during that time. I would be wigged out pushing it....
