We have been all complaining about the hospitals we work, particularly me....lol, So I thought lets have some fun with bragging about our hospitals:D It will not only give us a chance to find out how sophisticated our hospitals are but also how antiquated they are!!
Please accept my appology if its a reapeat thread.
I was told yesterday that we will be getting a Pyxis in Feb and the patients room will also have a brand new computer so that we can access our charts right in the room!! We will also be going live next year meaning we will be doing our charting in a pc.....we were soooo happy () I thought I share with my fellow nurses at allnurses.com!!!
We're supposed to be getting an expansion to our ER. Of course we've heard that lie before.... But this time they are knocking down walls, so maybe they really are going to do it. The nurses I work with are like my family.
weve been trying to go computerized for the last 2 years, but about 3 months ago we finally got internet connection.... that was pretty cool. and then, last week, my station got a brand new 02 sat machine thingy.... that was pretty cool too. even though i got these cool brand new stuff, i still got 48 patients =)

For me in the open heart unit its:
Computers in each room
Computer terminals on carts throughout the unit
Internet access
Lots of docs and PA's in the units at all times for support
1:1 ratio
med scanning
free peanut butter, juice, apple sauce, and milk! (yes, this is a big deal)
techs, aids, and secretaries who do a LOT
I wish I could brag about the pay, but it's not all that great.
