Typical Day for QI Nurse

First of all you need good computer skills. Next you need to know how to make sense out of rules and regulations. Typical day consists of conference calls, meetings and chart review. Be ready for deadliness and regulations that change. No patient contact.
Great schedule.

Definitely meetings galore. I would probably add trainings. Training employees in CQI and/or PI is often overlooked.

Good computer skills would be in Word, Excel and Powerpoint. Access and SPSS is a big plus!

Personally, I don't understand why a QI nurse would make less than a bedside nurse. It doesn't make sense to me.
