   Question: Risk Manager Job Duties - This is my new job

   eltrip replied to Mozzie's topic in Quality Improvement

   I started in risk management 3 months ago. I deal with clinical issues only. I start my day off by looking for new entries in our occurence reporting system. If there's something urgent to investigate, I'll look at it briefly. If not, I move on to my folder where I place items in order of priority: current investigations, calls to be made, etc. Of course, if there's a sentinel event (SE), everything else gets pushed to the side to deal with the SE. This is, indeed, interesting work. My brain is continuously working!

   Tidewater Community College Nursing School

   Does the Commonwealth of Virginia have any sort of grants available to state residents? That, in addition to checking on scholarships, would be worth a try. Good luck to you! regards from eltrip, '81 grad of Churchland High School

   Should we chart in 24-hour time?

   eltrip replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Nursing

   I've never heard of any facility not using the 24-hour clock. I'm surprised that someone would actually ask for "real person time". I would probably suggest that this person subtract 12 as well.

   Chattanooga Hiring Freezes?

   eltrip replied to MtGypsy's topic in Tennessee

   As I understand, nursing is hiring but internal candidates receive preference. I'd go for it. The worst that can happen is that you might not get called for an interview. Good luck to you!

    Chattanooga State University?

    eltrip replied to sydnie07's topic in Tennessee

    Here's their website: http://www.chattanoogastate.edu/ Give them a call. I have heard about waiting lists. You could try UTC's BSN program. I don't think there's a waiting list for this program. http://www.utc.edu Good luck!

    How can we protect the nurses?

    eltrip replied to hdhnurse's topic in Nursing

    I think it's time to consult an attorney about workplace violence. It is also time to try to find a safer position, if at all possible. If risk management won't assist, perhaps your area news outlet will?

    GPA Calculations

    Ask the school(s) of nursing you wish to attend what their policy is regarding GPAs. This way, you'll know where you stand.
