   I need to interview a Nursing Informatics nurse

   mom4josh replied to TamaraFloridaRN's topic in Informatics

   My title is not Informatics, but I was an analyst for our Epic project (am now a manager for that team). I also work with Informatics nurses on a daily basis. If you would like to interview me, I'd be happy to assist! PM me.

   How to maintain my EPIC certification?

   mom4josh replied to RN_Wannabee's topic in Informatics

   You can find that information on Epic's website. I think it's also in their training companions.

   Does a CNA have to wipe butts?

   mom4josh replied to sssssaidthesnake's topic in CNA/MA

   I'm hoping you don't have children. Oh, and you have to wipe not only the butts with poop, but the poop you have to wipe off of YOURSELF when the patient throws it at you or explodes on your leg!

   Socializing after work in your scrubs

   mom4josh replied to klone's topic in Relations

   This has been a huge deal for our facility lately. It has come down the pike numerous times something to the effect of "Thou shalt not weareth thy scrubs outsideth the worketh facility-eth." I'd bet that most facilities have such rules, but just no...

   mom4josh posted a topic in Informatics

   Yay! I got a position with my hospital as an Application Coordinator! I will be learning EPIC (which means going to Wisconsin in the dead of winter) and will begin an 18 month journey to get our hospital up and running. So excited! Any tips or ad...

   mom4josh replied to JBudd's topic in Emergency

   I just got off the phone and made up a new one! SAD: Stupid A$$ Doctors! Grrr... Tell me again why THEY get paid the big bucks?

    Copied documentation?

    mom4josh posted a topic in Nursing

    Grrr... so frustrated! I work with a social worker, and part of our job is to do initial consultations with potential hospice patients. I was checking some charting yesterday on a patient when we did a visit together, and I found a note in the compu...

    Don't you hate secrets?

    mom4josh replied to Vtachy1's topic in Hospice

    I am a very strong advocate for telling the entire family the truth. My own mother died when I was 22, and I had no idea it was serious enough to take her life. Nobody else seemed surprised, especially her physician. Sucked.

    It shouldn't have happened this way....

    mom4josh replied to nerdtonurse?'s topic in Hospice

    We have had similar situations in our hospital. These patients sometimes seem "forgotten" by nursing staff. "Oh, they're hospice," has been overheard more than a few times, like they somehow don't deserve the same caring attention if not more than ot...

    A co-worker peeve- VENT!

    mom4josh replied to perfectbluebuildings's topic in Relations

    I can relate. Deep breath... Hope you don't have to work tonight. Sounds like you could use a night or two off. Hang in there. Just think of it as ignorance. But, you definitely need to let management know about meeting times. There should be at lea...

    Pinning up long hair

    mom4josh replied to annetter's topic in Safety

    Our policy simply states, "Hair must be worn in a way that prevents contamination and does not present a safety hazard." Seems rather non-specific to me. But I've noticed that this organization is quite lenient on some of their policies, yet very s...
