That can be a little hard to answer as a lot goes into that. Adjunct clinical instructors in my area tend to make about $5-8K per class. Meaning, if you have a 12 hour medsurg clinical with 10 students that meets weekly for a full semester you shoul...
I am seeing a new trend in my area and was wondering if you are seeing it in yours?
There is one local large hospital network in my area that has started providing nursing educators to the local collages. For example, this semester the local uni...
Hi,
I am a nurse who in the last few years joined our systems QM department as a Quality and Accreditation Specialist. A small group of us have been asked to develop KPIs for this position --do any of you have such, or a clinical ladder, for a s...

So, like those above, how do you get started? There are 3 mentors for my state (SC) and the closest one is about 2 hours away. I applied and interviewed with a local clinic last year and they were willing to work with me however, they required I hav...

If you google there is a whole forum related to dysautomonia and POTS. my gf was dx with dysautomoniaa, POTs and EDS just over a year ago. That is after having spending her whole life with headaches that put her to bed. She had doctors tell her she w...
A card is nice but, consider sending an email thanking them while also highlighing some of the positives you bring to the table. When I receive these I take note when the person makes mention of one or two of the things I talked about with them. ...
My first question is do you know for sure the standing order is not in place? Both of us have said we have seen this but, its rare. As far as trouble... Where do you work? If it's a larger facility or teaching facility I would be surprised if anyone...
I do IS nursing for a large hospital system. I have seen some MDs like the one you said but, you would think they would come around to "helping the patient" by having the dx stuff done asap so they can treat the cause. However, with the way reimburse...
I would be ve ry surprised if there is not a standing order. If there is not one I bet it would be in place so fast after you bring it to light you could miss it.
Just wondering if you looked up dysautonomia and POTs. My GF has it and we really had a hard time finding a MD to believe something was wrong until they found her passed out at work. If you are interested I will share some of te things that has hel...

After sending a follow up letter to the director thanking him for his time and outlining what I bring to the table he called me last night and said he filled the position. He found someone with over 10 years of dialysis experience. However, he had a...

Another idea for jobs. Look around your hospital at all the equipment you use on a daily basis. These vender's also need healthcare professionals for sales, install and training. Who do you use for drug dispense? How about Rad? Who do you use for P...

QA QA is mostly testing. Most places have scripts (fake charts) telling the tester to enter a X here or Y there and you should see this result. Did you Y or N. If you are doing a full conversion from one product to another you also look at paralle...
