2. Informatics?

   pie123 posted a topic in Informatics

   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...

3. New Pacu Nurse

   pie123 replied to WYRN1's topic in PACU

   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 ...

4. Las Vegas - NOT new-grad friendly

   pie123 replied to NVRN2008's topic in Nevada

   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...

5. Las Vegas - NOT new-grad friendly

   pie123 replied to NVRN2008's topic in Nevada

   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...

6. Finding a NAP position in Vegas?

   pie123 replied to SeattleKid09's topic in Nevada

   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.

7. Anyone here from critical care?

   pie123 replied to heygurlhey's topic in Home Health

   What a coincidence. I too am looking to leave ICU. I'm tired of direct-care period, for probably the same reasons as you. It's just getting crazy. I too am thinking of home health. I've been a nurse for roughly 3 years. First in a step-down unit, the...

8. Nursing at University Medical Center

   pie123 replied to hnp5's topic in Nevada

   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.

9. Nursing at University Medical Center

   pie123 replied to hnp5's topic in Nevada

   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...

10. no one will hire me in Las Vegas--what's the deal???

    pie123 replied to travelcrazyRN's topic in Nevada

    Have you tried going straight to management? When I graduated, I found that was the best route.

11. no one will hire me in Las Vegas--what's the deal???

    pie123 replied to travelcrazyRN's topic in Nevada

    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...

12. I can't do it all

    pie123 replied to nursecrk's topic in Geriatric

    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.
