  1. New to CM. Tips appreciated.

    I am allowed to call my manager in the middle of the night when I cant figure things out. Everyone else on the team has also offered to be available for 3am calls. I hope I dont have to make too many. I am already trying to sift out priorities and on...
  2. New to CM. Tips appreciated.

    There is a report sheet that goes from CM to CM, fresh one in the AM. I had a very busy day on Friday and It was good for me to see how crazy it could get. I was assessing someone for HH and got 3 calls about consults and one for a physician to speak...
  3. New to CM. Tips appreciated.

    Hello all. Two weeks ago I jumped ship from bedside (in the ER) to ER Case Management. I have to say, its more overwhelming than I would have thought. The other CMs I am training with are so full of knowledge, I have no idea how I will ever equal up...
  4. "Your ER sucks!" and other pleasantries...how you handle them?

    I am grateful that generally when someone appears to doctor/ER shop and comes to the ER with results from another nearby hospital with the same or similar complaint, they get a lecture from the MD about staying at the same hospital for continuity of ...

  7. Drexel University FNP Fall 2014

    I will be on vacation in Florida while the Accepted Students day is going on, or i would have tried to make it. I also missed the online Orientation they had this past Tuesday b/c I had to work @ 1900 (It was scheduled from 1800 - 2000) Did anyone el...

    Curriculum - Division of Graduate Nursing Thats the Plan of Study for the program (click "Plan of Study") . Just keep in mind that to qualify for Financial Aid you have to have 4.5 credits a quarter. I emailed my assigned advisor and she recommends ...
  10. IMMEDIATE BEDDING

    We do this, have been for about a year. The process for us is called Bypass Rapid Assessment Triage (BRAT). When there are at least 2 available beds, patients are met at the front by a triage nurse and registration person. They come up, state their c...
  11. Medsurg nurse transition to ED

    Not at all. Your success in the ER depends entirely on the person you are. The rhythm of the ER is definitely different from floor nursing but it is doable. I came from a Cardiac/tele floor that mostly held M/S patients and I transitioned well. Ive b...
  12. George Washington University AGPCNP - FALL 2014

    I was sad I missed the GWU deadline....I accepted and sent $ for an alternate program (the program is good, but GWU was my first choice). And now I hear they extended the deadline.. I just cant win. :/ Was the deadline extended for FNP as well?

  15. Drexel University FNP Fall 2014

    Good idea on starting the thread. Myself and a coworker have been accepted to the fall FNP program. I'm about an hours train ride away from Philly which is one of the reasons I really hoped to get into the program. I'm currently an ER nurse and have ...
