My hospital recently went live with EHR (Electronic Health Records). During that time, in order to get a break from bedside, I volunteered to be a superuser for the system. A superuser helps MD's and fellow nurses with basic charting issues pertaini...
I agree about the Mega Codes. I cannot understand why this doesn't happen more often. Even in a critical care area. Everyone says a code is a team effort, but what if you're in CT scan, and it's just you. There is no time to wait for someone else to ...
Also check out http://www.chwjobsnow.com. I just went there and there are 4 full-time positions at the Rose DeLima campus for Intermediate Care (IMC) alone. They are all nightshift, but when I worked IMC, the wait to go to dayshift was not long at al...
Check out the St. Rose websites. Between the 3 campuses, I would think they've got to have jobs posted. Go to http://www.strosecares.com, then click on careers. My preference is the Rose DeLima campus, especially Intermediate Care Unit (IMC). I liked...
St. Rose DeLima Intermediate Care (IMC) unit hires NAPs. Call the DeLima main number and ask for the manager of ICU/IMC. She is wonderful. Also, from what I remember, Med. Surg at DeLima hires NAPs.

They are all nice facilities. DeLima is older, but still looks decent. Siena and San Martin are more aesthetically pleasing, but both are newer. They are easy to find, just Google them.
I was there for a bit, on IMC. I chose not to stick around either. I think like you, I kept comparing it to St. Rose. BUT, I have to say that the dayshift and nightshift charge nurses on IMC circle were the greatest. Absolutely fabulous. The teamwork...
I work at St. Rose and I haven't heard anything about another heart program opening. I know that St. Rose is hard to get into for ICU, with no ICU experience. What about Spring Valley? From what I understand, they hire new grads. I met a nurse who ha...
If you stay, you're probably headed for major burnout. You seem as though you're a good nurse. This is far too much for one person. Sounds like a very unsafe facility: for you and the residents.
