Cerner Charting Chaos !

Published

As a new RN Resident Nurse, I had no idea that the Cerner Charting would take so much of my time and energy away from patient care....  Documentation of 8am full detailed assessment, lines and drains, a noon assessment, and a 4 pm assessment along with Patient Education, ADLs, and IPOC (Interdisciplinary Plan of Care) documentation and Pain Medication documentation follow up for any opioid or non-opioid medication administration.... I did not sign up to be a secretary for Cerner...   So Unhappy but Trapped ? to get thru at least 6 months...  I am at an 900 bed Trama II Hospital in Florida....

And it is surprising me that this Cerner glorified X Cell spread sheet is still in use... Seems very old technology with parts that do not communicate to each other
