1. Losing respect for nursing students

   RhodeIslandMSN replied to kjnsweets's topic in General Nursing

   A few years back, I had a nursing student take a chart out of my hands and very rudely said 'uh I'm a nursing student, BSN program, thanks'. I was appalled. I was working in CDI at the time and our charts were a hybrid of electronic and paper. I was ...

2. Coworker having access to my password and charting

   RhodeIslandMSN replied to CorinneRN's topic in General Nursing

   I also agree with the posters who recommended calling your insurance. I had to reach out to my carrier at one point and they were very helpful. Keep us posted and best of luck to you. :)

3. Coworker having access to my password and charting

   RhodeIslandMSN replied to CorinneRN's topic in General Nursing

   Many facilities have an ethics hotline you can call. Something seems a bit off and since the CNO seems ok with it, she may change her tune when her superiors get wind of it.

4. Has anyone had success leaving nursing for something unrelated?

   RhodeIslandMSN replied to cantdoit's topic in Career Support

   I'm glad you posted this question and look forward to the responses. I've been a nurse for 15+ years and just cannot do it any more. Most of my experience is non-clinical in nature. I plan on returning to school and taking a couple of classes in Lib...

5. RN to MLIS

   RhodeIslandMSN replied to oneLoneNurse's topic in Online Learning

   Hi - I realize I'm answering this post several years after it was posted. :) I'm starting an online MLIS program in January. I have my MSN (Nursing Administration) and after 16 years in healthcare, I'm absolutely burned out. I still want to use my nu...

6. Telephonic Case Managemen interview in 2 days!

   RhodeIslandMSN replied to KbmRN's topic in Case Management

   The titles were different there, but I served in both roles. Several people would weigh in on each applicant, but I certainly had enough power to veto somebody. I once did a phone interview with someone who was yelling at me. I think she just natural...

   Congrats!

8. Telephonic Case Managemen interview in 2 days!

   RhodeIslandMSN replied to KbmRN's topic in Case Management

   I worked as a telephonic case manager for several years (including mgt). The salaries are all over the board - depends on your location and available nurses in the area. I know this sounds silly, but one thing we really looked for in interviews was h...

9. Nurse to Librarian

   RhodeIslandMSN posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello everyone. I'm curious to hear from those of you who have changed careers. What finally made you realize enough is enough? Did you ever regret your decision? I've been a nurse for 15 years (have my MSN) and absolutely burned out. I've worked i...

10. From librarian to nurse

    RhodeIslandMSN replied to Eric_M's topic in Georgia

    Hi - I'm the opposite - nurse wanting to become a librarian. I would like to work as a librarian in a hospital, medical school, or something similar. I have my MSN (nursing administration) and absolutely burned out on healthcare. I'm currently resear...

11. Any Clinical Documentation Specialist here?

    RhodeIslandMSN replied to kgard7777's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I'm not sure if there are online CDI programs, but check out the ACDIS and AHIMA websites. They will have resources on there to point you in the right direction. ACDIS has a preparation book for the CCDS certification exam which may be helpful fo...

12. Is there a Registered Dietitian program for RN's?

    RhodeIslandMSN replied to Tanguera's topic in Career Support

    Last year, I took a few online nutrition courses through Kansas State, and I highly recommend their program. To pursue the RD, nurses are required to take all of the nutrition courses and bio-chem, complete the internship, and then sit for the RD exa...

13. New grad RNs: Do you hate nursing already?

    RhodeIslandMSN replied to OliveRN's topic in Florida

    I knew in nursing school that clinical nursing wasn't for me. I have been a nurse for 13 years now and only 2 of those years have been in a clinical setting. Clinical nursing isn't for everyone and that doesn't make you any less of a nurse. I have wo...

14. Medical Case Management Group (MCMG)

    RhodeIslandMSN replied to bknyrn's topic in Case Management

    I'm curious about this company as well. They contacted me last year about a position and I submitted my resume. I'm not sure how they got my info to begin with (headhunter maybe). Anyways, they contacted me about my resume and then requested my Socia...

15. Please help me and tell me why bedside nurisng MUST be the 1st step

    RhodeIslandMSN replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    If you're interested in the position, apply for it and see what happens. There isn't one particular path to any nursing position. Most of my experience is in non-clinical positions and I can tell you that I haven't had any problems finding/keeping a ...
