   Guess what? I had my meeting with the dr and a few other staff members this am. Went well. Apparently they all had pretty good opinions of me coming in. The doctor said she was excited that I had applied. Ego boost, much? :) No pressure either h...

   Thanks for the info. Finally have my meeting set up with the doc this week. After that meeting that day, the manager wants me to meet with one of the other coordinators (who was my preceptor as a new grad in the ICU. I just hope she remembers good...

3. Transplant nursing

   ThanksForAllTheFish! replied to emilynorth's topic in Urology

   From my understanding, I wouldn't be managing patients that are on the list, I would be in charge of the evaluation for transplant and placing on list. And of course, rotate on call for calling in patients, setting up transplant, and I think er ...

   Belizish - nah, I'm not on the west coast, would be nice for vacation right about now though. :) I was merely a Go Live superuser. Not sure what made me "super". Of course I am still considered a go to person and try to be the person who contacts ...

8. One more question and then I'll be quite. :)

   ThanksForAllTheFish! replied to ThanksForAllTheFish!'s topic in Informatics

   Thank you all for the information! I really wish an informatics opportunity would present itself; absolutely no guarantee that I would get it, but it would be nice. Right now I am really emotionally and mentally buried out with my hospital and beds...

   . I have some questions! I am currently a second career nurse that has been working in the ICU for almost 4 years. My ICU has a varied patient population, but we do take care of kidney and liver transplant patients with the occasional panc (and of...

10. One more question and then I'll be quite. :)

    ThanksForAllTheFish! posted a topic in Informatics

    So, I got the opportunity to spend a day following a few informatics nurses at my facility and pick their brains. Granted, one single day does not not tell me everything. And there would be much for me to learn upon entering this field. However, I...
