2. how much experience for new hires

   Phantom2U replied to cdmrn's topic in Triage

   Our guidelines say they want people with at least 5 years of varied experience. No mention of ER. Now, having said that I can say with certainty that some are hired with as little as one years nursing experience total. The reality is, just like all o...

3. Quality/Length of Call

   Phantom2U replied to kst's topic in Triage

   6 calls per hour. WOW!!! now that is some volume. We are only expected to make 2-3. OUr charting system would never allow for that kind of volume per hour. It just takes to long to chart and I am fast on the puter. Do you all have check off list t...

   Phantom2U replied to faith52's topic in Triage

   I currently work 10 hour days and boy is that long. There are some folks at our place that want to go to 12's but the manager says no way. She has found that after 8 hours the nurses kind of wear down and she sees it in the outbound call volume.

6. Want to hear from RNs who are leaving the job.

11. Change of shift report

    Phantom2U replied to angel333's topic in General Nursing

    Just my opinion but I have a problem with walking rounds. When you go into a pts room and talk about them their neighbor also hears this personal information, unless you have a floor with all privates then its a breach of confidentiality. Taped repo...
