I work Mon-Fri 7:30 to 4:00 most days, but in the real world, it seems I am always working/ but it isn't so bad. I enjoy it, but would enjoy it more if I could do just one thing at a time.:) :) :)

Hello, just found this site and registered to join all of you. I have been a nurse in staff development at our hospital for close to 8 years. I really enjoy the challenges and have had good days and not so good. Our hospital is growing by leaps and bounds and we have approximately 1200 employees. Patient beds: 130 I think at last count. I do all the nursing division orientation, set up inservices, min. of 2 CPR classes per month, run the AHA CTC at our facility, write some procedures, review p/p, write competencies (currently completing phlebotomy), provide remediation for nursing staff, medical terminology self study, process of helping to develop a unit secretary orientation module (structured for 2 weeks), annual competencies, glucose meter training, nursing orientation every 2 weeks lasting a week minimum, do agency nurse orientation and testing, schedule nurse orientation in lab for phlebotomy training, annual Student Nurse Welcome recruitment luncheon for our local graduate nurses (good recruitment), Annual preceptor program in concert with our local university and sit on Pain cmte, Product cmte, Pt.Safety cmte, MERC (Medication Error Review Cmte), SNE I & II program and plan & organize the graduate nurses orientation. There are many other things but this will give you and others some of my daily opportunities that maybe we can share ideas. Thanks much
