    Natkat replied to Natkat's topic in Nursing News

    Oh man, I just said something like that. Why can't nurse informatics bridge this gap more effectively? I envision the development of EHRs goes something like this. Developer: Okay, so...

    Nurses Give EHR Usage a Usability Rating of F

    Natkat replied to Natkat's topic in Nursing News

    This is a similar problem to what I deal with constantly. I will get dinged by an auditor that says something like "you didn't complete the blah blah blah on page blah blah blah". They will give me a...

    Two Job Offers

    Natkat posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am in a horrible job that I am desperate to leave. I have been looking for a job with no luck for about six months. Suddenly I started getting calls for interviews. I was offered two jobs. One...

    Two Job Offers

    Natkat replied to Natkat's topic in General Nursing

    My current position does not align with my goals at all. My boss is insane. I’m never getting out of there without some kind of black mark on my record. No one does. If I stay there I’ll get...

    Thank you for that insight. Protecting my professional reputation is something I hadn’t considered. As for my partner, she is usually spot on with things. She is rarely wrong, and you best...

    Natkat replied to Natkat's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. I cant stay at my job one more day. My boss is a crazy person, a non-medical person who hates nurses. He likes bragging about “going after a nurse’s license” and lots of way more...

    First Nursing Job Dialysis Am I Stuck Forever

    Natkat replied to Biology2Nursing's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Believe me, I have searched my soul and wish I knew what is going on. I do not have an NP degree. My degree is in management and leadership. Wish I had gone the NP route, but hindsight is 20/20....

    First Nursing Job Dialysis Am I Stuck Forever

    Natkat replied to Biology2Nursing's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I am not sure what it is that is hard to understand, but let me try again. I'll try and trim some of what I wrote before. My first job after nursing school was in dialysis. About a year after...

    Is it like this everywhere now?

    Natkat replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    You described my exact experience. Dialysis was the only place hiring, so did that. And actually acute dialysis is a great place to land if you want to go back to school. You can study while you...

    You are not lying. I would get a job doing anything else if I could. I watch people do their jobs all the time and think “I could do this”. I fantasize about being a delivery driver or stocking...

    I know this was a while ago but I want to comment about ageism. It’s true they cannot ask your age, it they can ask you what year you graduated high school. Also I am always asked to fill out a...
