1. Msn fnp interview at duke university

   EmmieRN replied to rphil77120's topic in Advanced

   No news yet. I called last week and was told that they hadn't pulled anyone from the wait list yet and could not say whether or not that would even be happening. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed and will definitely roll over my application if I...

2. Msn fnp interview at duke university

   EmmieRN replied to rphil77120's topic in Advanced

   I'm still on the waitlist. I called back when the decisions first came out and was told that they would make decisions about who would get a slot in 4-6 weeks, so that should be going on right now. I'm also wondering if anyone has heard anything.

4. Legal implications of free-text charting

   EmmieRN replied to EmmieRN's topic in General Nursing

   Okay, well let me clarify. I don't have a problem with free-text charting alone and everyone should know how to do it correctly since even the best systems end up having downtimes. My concern is that if I've already charted information in a flowshe...

5. Legal implications of free-text charting

   EmmieRN replied to EmmieRN's topic in General Nursing

   Dudette, I find that our charting system allows for sufficient detail to describe the patient in detail. It also allows for addition of words that are not in a drop down list. (I should maybe add that all of our charting is computerized) Here is an...

6. Legal implications of free-text charting

   EmmieRN replied to EmmieRN's topic in General Nursing

   It's literally opening up a word document and typing away. It's not necessarily a SOAP note or SBAR etc., it's just whatever you want to say. Like I said, communication is vital, but it makes me uncomfortable that my communication to the next shift...

7. Legal implications of free-text charting

   EmmieRN posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have started a new job in a new hospital and of course there are differences in policies, but one that I'm particularly concerned about is free-text charting. In my previous job, we were instructed to keep free-text charting to a minimum as what y...

8. .9 = Nine 8-hour night shifts in two weeks. Too much?

   EmmieRN replied to EmmieRN's topic in General Nursing

   I'm glad to hear that others have lived this schedule and survived! I'm particular about making sure I get enough sleep to avoid burning out, but I still want to be able to spend time with my husband and my young daughter. One one hand, I probably ...

9. .9 = Nine 8-hour night shifts in two weeks. Too much?

   EmmieRN posted a topic in General Nursing

   I apologize that I'm reposting this thread, I think I posted it in the wrong place. Oops! I just moved from a different state and I am used to working 12-hour shifts. A hospital I applied to and have an interview with next week works on 8-hour sh...

10. Licensure in Different States

    EmmieRN replied to mako14's topic in Career Support

    I would advise you to apply well in advance of your move to the different state. I just moved to California and applied for the temporary license, which should have taken 2 weeks. It took 7 weeks and it will be another month before my permanent lic...

    EmmieRN posted a topic in Career Support

    I just moved from a different state and I am used to working 12-hour shifts. A hospital I applied to and have an interview with next week works on 8-hour shifts. The job is .9, so that's NINE 8-hour shifts in two weeks, and they are 11p.m. to 7:30 ...
