  2. Office Organizing

    SummerGarden replied to RNator's topic in Nurse Management

    I share office space.... but I have my own PC and equipment.... With that said, I have folders, binders, office desk organizers, and knick-knacks. Well, it is not efficient, but it is fun.... When I...

  3. Need Patient Centered Goal List/Resources

    SummerGarden replied to sbarlow's topic in Case Management

    I suggest that you talk to your IT people. Let them know your problem and maybe one of them can help you to talk to a contracted vendor and discuss the upgrades for current EHR without re-inventing...

  4. Terminations

    SummerGarden replied to Libby1987's topic in Nurse Management

    Ahhh... Well, it cannot hurt to re-look at your program. Interview the other nurses who recently completed the program in the past 6 mo-1 year along with the preceptors. If there are changes you can...

  5. Terminations

    SummerGarden replied to Libby1987's topic in Nurse Management

    OP: In order to terminate (unless you live in a "right-to-work" State, where employees have no right to exist let alone to be employed) you must have a good reason to do so and have given the employee...

  6. "Crazy" to decline this offer?

    SummerGarden replied to Lucky724's topic in Nurse Management

    OP: very good thread!!! Are you able to go back to your former employer? You wrote like it was a good fit for you and your life style. I am sorry that they did not give you a chance to report to...

  7. Need Patient Centered Goal List/Resources

    SummerGarden replied to sbarlow's topic in Case Management

    I used to work in IT a long time ago and what you are asking will require you to do more than look stuff up on the internet. I understand that sometimes one can get information off of the internet to...

  8. Denied shift change position

    SummerGarden replied to nitrospeed16's topic in General Nursing

    OP: I agree with the others that it should have gone with seniority. However, I would like to offer a different perspective... Rather than take it personally for negative reasons, your manager may...

  9. Travel Case Management

    SummerGarden replied to rnrn08's topic in Case Management

    Although this is a case management forum, I do not think I have read many nurses on this forum discuss travel experiences. Thus, your best bet is to try the Travel Nursing forum and ask this...

  10. CEO with nursing background?

    SummerGarden replied to southshore2014's topic in Nurse Management

    Many of the CEOs I have encountered throughout my career have been non-RNs. For the very first time my current CEO (new to my facility) is a RN! I am so pleased with the changes she has implemented....

  11. Travel Case Management

    SummerGarden replied to rnrn08's topic in Case Management

    Are you asking about working for an agency as a Travel Nurse? If so, I know of a few that do it and, similar to bedside travel nursing positions, like it because they have limited contracts (pro) and...

  12. LPC vs. RN??

    SummerGarden replied to SHarrison67's topic in Case Management

    I was a non-nurse CM in MH and Psych with a BA and an MBA. I contemplated returning to school to earn a MPH or MSW and earn a license in counseling, but I got tired of being paid so little and having...

  13. Nurse Supervisor

    SummerGarden replied to GRounded1's topic in Nurse Management

    Networking is one way. Some hiring managers will hire a new nurse manager if he/she likes the person and has the time to train/mentor that person. Training a new nurse manager takes a lot of time...

  14. Management...could I do it?

    SummerGarden replied to Aadkin14's topic in Nurse Management

    First, congrats on being offered an opportunity for management. Most of us had to kick down doors to create our own opportunities. :) 1.) Two years of clinical work experience is helpful for the...

  15. Questions for Nurse Recruiters/Managers

    SummerGarden replied to RNbehindtheWall's topic in Nurse Management

    OP: I doubt you will need to have a BSN if you have an MSN given an MSN is the advanced degree in nursing and implies a foundation of a BSN. However, to be sure... contact a Magnet Hospital's HR...

  16. Nurse Supervisor

    SummerGarden replied to GRounded1's topic in Nurse Management

    I have heard that a nursing home is one way to gain management experience. So, if you have that opportunity, you have worked as a Staff RN in one prior to this move, and you would like to do it, take...

  17. Nursing Managers, how do you keep up on your skills

    SummerGarden replied to CMartRN's topic in Nurse Management

    In addition to the above, I suggest that you accept a position as an Assistant Nurse Manager PRN or Charge Nurse PRN and remain in leadership while keeping up your Staff RN bedside

  18. Case management MSN

    SummerGarden replied to iheartangelinajolie's topic in Case Management

    Your answer depends... For example, I was asked this question by a friend this past year who wanted to do the opposite. She had 1 semester left in her program and wondered if she should switch...

  19. Post Second Interview and question about following up.

    SummerGarden replied to rosefromconcrete856's topic in Nurse Management

    If you have not already made it clear to the ANM of unit A during the other interview that you are interested in the night position on unit A, then go a head and do so now. You can also contact the...

  20. How does CM pay compare to bedside RN pay?

    SummerGarden replied to RNRising's topic in Case Management

    OP: I work in the hospital setting and work in a state that pays nurses well in the hospital setting.... Bedside RNs make way more! I took a pay cut of $6.00/hour when I started... After several...

  21. what can you do when a nurse sets you up

    SummerGarden replied to oatmeal's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    OP: You did a very good job covering yourself with a witness unbeknownst to the accusing nurse. I am willing to bet this is beyond bullying. What does she have to achieve? I think she is diverting...

  22. In charge of 2 units-meetings

    SummerGarden replied to NurseLatteDNP's topic in Nurse Management

    I like jrt4's response. My department combines two similar units too and I cover both. The staff know each other because of the combined meetings, happy events, and shared staffing at times....

  23. Hospital setting frustrations

    SummerGarden replied to Somethingsgottagive's topic in Case Management

    So far the poll does not show us feeling supported by administration or coworkers the most.

  24. A typical day as telecommuting CM

    SummerGarden replied to nur18's topic in Case Management

    Within the United States of America, you need a license to practice nursing in every state in which you work as a nurse. Thus, my understanding is that you can only talk to patients over the phone...

  25. How much experience do nurses need in order to become a Case Manager?

    SummerGarden replied to Q_vick03's topic in Case Management

    My employer and former employers require 3 years (it used to be 2) of clinical work experience and a BSN to be considered for an entry level case management position. The reason being, we actually...
