Are there any independent EMR (electronic medical record) Nurse consultants out there? It looks as if it's been awhile since anyone has been active in this board under new convos and I wanted to start one. It seems as if there are many nurses working...

Hi, I see this post is a bit old. I'm wondering if you ended up moving, if you are working at Dartmouth? How have things worked out for you? I am in NC and looking to move NORTH! I am undecided on Maine, NY, NH or Vermont. HA! The places are all so d...

I just wanted to follow up. I don't see a lot of responses. Not sure if that's good or bad. I am also interested in moving to Vermont and am wondering about wages, working conditions, etc. I know a few people say that they work in VT and commute to N...

Hey you guys, I've been a nurse 6 years and just recently started in the ICU. I'm doing well with all the assessments, skills,etc. It's hard for me to find words for my family members dealing with the death of their loved one and after their loved on...

To clarify :) The director interviewed me for the position. HR is the one who offers the job and discusses salary. I've been told that it's unprofessional to discuss salary during the interview. The director told me that my salary would be based on ...

Hey guys. It's been awhile since I've been on this forum. I wanted to just stop by. I live in NC. I've done all aspects and realms of acute care nursing that I can bare anymore. I've worked peds hem/onc, general peds, labor and delivery, newborn nurs...

Well I got the job! She said it may not be until next week to hear from HR so she wanted me to know that I got the job. Now I'm just hoping that the pay will be decent. I'm expecting it to be less. Sure would be a nice surprise for it to be better. B...

How so Sneakysnake?

Wow you guys, thanks for all the input. Just a few things. I will be still working weekend nights. I'll be doing 2 16 hour shifts plus 1 8hour shift every other week. Also, the LTC/Rehab is owned by a reputable hospital so benefits/ time off are the ...

Yeah, thanks guys! I really was hoping for more specialized care, etc do more for each patient. But, really, it's so much more charting that I have LESS time with the patients and their families and I come across looking like a mean person because I ...

You go for it. You can have that ED. I have to say, the best thing about ED is always having a MD right there. Thanks for the reply. And, best of luck to you!

I used to work for Rex PRN on their mother/baby unit and I really really liked working for them. As far as shadowing goes, they cannot and will not ask you to do anything to or for the patients. While shadowing, that's only what you are doing, you ar...

This actually sounds like fun to me...but I'm OCD so, I can see myself going nuts with post-its and highlighters :) Ahhhh to think of an actual office and desk for these things!!!!

Dang, an entire year? That's wild and unheard of. Wow, I just started back to work after taking 2 weeks off ---I couldn't afford to take time without pay. Luckily my dear husband is wonderful with the kids while I'm at work!!! Otherwise, I'd be up cr...

Hi all!! I'm kindof stuck and was wondering if anyone had a few words of wisdom for me :0) I'm working at Wakemed, LOVE my job but I'm not making enough $$. We never get to really get away and when we do, it's for the weekend to Wilmington. We LOOO...

Brier Creek alll the wayy....that place is growing so fast and is smack dab in the middle of everything. You'll love it!! ~Kimmie

LPN4U-- If for some reason, you don't get a call, you should call and follow-up.The children's ED manager told me that she was sorry it took her so long to get back in touch with me...that, sometimes applications "slip through the cracks." Just some ...

I agree with Cay and 99nurse....Duke is ALL politics and how much butt you can kiss. I'm getting OUT!! If we wanted to kiss butt all day, we'd do something else. Why isn't it all about the patients? Why isn't it all about WORKING TOGETHER??? HUGS to...

Hey !! Are you working tonight? Looks like you work in the PICU?? I worked on 5100 for a year and then transferred to the birthing center. I just feel like a monkey ...not learning new stuff...feeling blah and I miss the kids SOOOO much. I'm excited...

I had an awesome interview experience and the manager said that I should be hearing from HR after they check my background and references and such. I'm pumped. I'm glad that you have found a great place to work too. I feel lucky to be starting at suc...

The interview at Wake Med went awesome! I was so impressed with everything and the nurse manager said that I had the job and to just be patient with HR while they check references and such. I'm thankful and this wonderful change in my life couldn't h...

Regional is owned by Duke but still has the community hospital feel. From a labor/delivery/peds standpoint, all the risky cases or unusual cases are sent to Duke. People that work there seem to stay there and I know of some nurses at Duke who are int...

They do have a peds unit. I've heard good things about it. My interview was for the children's emergency dept. It's separate. Let me know if you have any more questions. I think you should definitely interview there. Their website is www.wakemed.org....

Have you looked at Wake Med? I had an interview there today and was SOOO impressed. It might be worth checking out!!! ~Kimmie

We'd love to have you in RALEIGH! AWESOME schools, competitive hospitals, city-life. I can't imagine living anywhere else. Let me know if you have any ?s about the area!
