TraumaRUs, Your answers helped me a lot for the assignment. Thank you.

Hi TraumaRUs, Thank you for trying to help me. Here are the questions. 1) What is your role and primary responsibilities? 2) What is your role title and position description? 3) How did you choose this role? 4) What educational preparation is required for the role? 5) What is the setting in which your role is enacted? 6) Are there role conflicts or "turf" issues within the organization, and if so how are they handled or resolved? 7) What are actual or perceived barriers to practice or innovation? 8) Are there any special skills that are needed to lead or influence others on the care team or within the organization? I look forward to reading them. Thanks, icyblue

Hello all geriatric CNSs in the forum, This is my first semester enrolled in the online MSN program at CSU, Dominguez Hills. The role option that I am pursuing is CNS, Gerontology. This week, I have an assignment to interview a masters prepared registered nurse in a role to which I am aspired. I live in a small town and where I work do not have any CNS. I have tried to contact several Geriatric CNSs in hospitals surrounding my area but was not able to get hold with any of them. The interview can be done either in person, telephonically, or via email. The information you shared with me will also be shared with the class. But only your role and function is sufficient, no name or even by specific location/employer will be share. I really need your help. If appropriate, could I have the email address of the person who would like help me in this assignment so I could send the questions to? Your help would very much appreciate. Thank you, Icyblue

ORgirl, how are you doing with the apartment hunting? I don't know which areas I should be searching for in terms of money and distance. Do you have any ideas?

I wish I could start that early. Mine is not until Feb 10. Have you got anything in the mail yet? BTW, we're live close to each other...30 mins drive...i'm in san jose.

ORgirl, are you the one live in Fremont that I talked to when we were the last two person waiting to have our live scan done?

I had interviews with UCLA med on 11/06/08 and the assistant manager of the PICU unit just called today to offer me the job.
