  1. Name title

    Kharis replied to madz0212's topic in Patient Education

    Most recent (or highest) degree is usually listed first, followed by licenses, followed by certifications. You do not have to list every degree - just the highest. However, I always list my...

  7. Informatics/coding question for nurses

    Kharis replied to Benjifoo's topic in Nursing Informatics

    You can also check out Coursera - some tracks/programs/classes offer certifications and others just credit. The nice thing is, they are all from colleges and universities (credible), so you can build...

  12. Nursing informatics and healthcare informatics

    Kharis replied to moktao's topic in Nursing Informatics

    I chose Health Informatics because it seems to be a more robust program than the Nursing Informatics programs I was finding. The core classes within Health Informatics seemed to line up with my...

  13. What is it like in your hospital right now?

    Kharis replied to FloatFNP-C's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We have 2 Covid units. I worked in the "ICU" designated Covid unit last night. We took 4 admissions and that unit is now full at 24 beds. It is a locked down unit. Once you are in, you cannot leave....

  14. Nurses and Germ Warfare

    Kharis replied to Joe V's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Our huddles at the beginning of shift do not exactly meet Trump's "10 people or less" guideline. We meet in a moderately sized break room and 15 of us barely squeeze in there. Often it's standing room...

    Kharis replied to jeastridge's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As Team Lead last night, I tried to encourage my team with this passage from Psalm 91: "Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the...

    Kharis replied to Amberpohlhaus's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am not in the WHNP program at UC. I am in the HI program. I asked about going part-time (taking summers off to match my son's school schedule, vacation, etc). And that does not look possible based...

  19. University of Cincinnati WHNP Spring 2020

    Kharis replied to Amberpohlhaus's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have not. I received her name on Monday and have checked my UC email daily to be sure I didn't miss it. I was able "pre register" on Catalyst - put my classes in the shopping cart and validate them...

  20. Paramedic to RN: Getting Started

    Kharis replied to engine40ladder35's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Just wanted to encourage you not to give up on your dreams. I was a full-time FF/EMT-P prior to becoming an RN-BSN. It can be done. My route was probably a little different from yours as I had a...

  21. In BSN/RN program, work as EMT or CNA

    Kharis replied to Dan9715's topic in General Students

    I have done both jobs: CNA and EMT (certified at all three levels). It depends on your goals and how much bandwidth you have. CNA is the quickest cert to get and you can start working right away. As...

  23. Is MSN informatics worth it?

    Kharis replied to EternalFeather's topic in Nursing Informatics

    Maybe check other school programs? For me, it came down to class offerings and what I wanted out of the degree. I want to be marketable - no matter what. That meant considering Healthcare Informatics...

  24. Is it important to have experience in different nursing units to become an informaticist?

    Kharis replied to madz0212's topic in Nursing Informatics

    Transferring from Med-Surg/Stepdown to ICU is not going to give you that much wider of a base of experience from a workflow/informatics perspective. As the previous respondents pointed out -...

  25. Am I headed in the right direction??

    Kharis replied to stephalina6's topic in Nursing Informatics

    I did the same. I was the first RN hired by a tech company as an analyst/consultant/SME. It was invigorating work. I traveled the nation and was given amazing opportunities. I stayed on the vendor...
