This is not news as it is something we have all experienced for a long time. Dealing with EHR platforms that are complicated and not user friendly has made our jobs more difficult. https://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/nurses-give-ehr-us...

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 let's sit down and develop an EHR for nurses. So tell ...

I started my career in medical records when everything was paper based. I took my first computer class right about the time things were starting to go electronic, so I was able to live in both worlds comfortably for a long time. I am the rare person...

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 printed copy of the document and it looks nothing...

Sad to say, I've used some that are way worse. And that's really saying something because Meditech is horrible.

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 is to be case manager for a company that treats ad...

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 fired for something. They both seem to offer a lot of...

Thank you, I agree Whatever kind of Cade management I learn wouldn’t carry over to another position if I try to get a job doing case management someplace else, I wouldn’t have the eight kind of experience to be able to do my job, and it would be s...

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 believe it drives me crazy! So that’s why I asked. I us...

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 evil stuff. He is petty and vindictive. Anyone who goe...

Came here to ask the chart abstract position. That sounds awesome

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. Anyway, since I have no experience in any other spec...

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 graduation I began looking for other jobs and got nothing...

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 dialyze a patient (but the on-call will kill you). ...

A piece of advice I got early on in my career - by my supervisor at the time - was “make it look good on paper”.

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 shelves or some kind of factory work - ANYTHING that ...

Even though my experience hasn’t been all that great, I still think you should do it. Just take the advice of what others are saying - don’t spend a lot of money on your education. Go to a community college. Don’t be lured in to an expensive schoo...

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 background check - which asks die my date of birth. ...

Uh oh. Ad hominem alert.

Critical thinking. Civility. Professionalism. Blah blah blah. Been there. Bought the T-shirt and coffee mug. Drank the Kool-Aid. I thought this was a discussion about the empty promise of an education. I didn't realize there was some other obj...

I also worked my behind off and learned plenty. All for nothing. It even an interview. Applied to a job fair. They emailed me and told me to. It bother coming since I don’t qualify for anything.

Can confirm. Got my BSN and MSN at Western Governors and yes, it was affordable. I graduated in March 2018 and made my last loan payment his month. But guess what? Still can’t find a job.
