1. possible transition from bed side nursing to informatics?

   oneLoneNurse replied to overtonis's topic in Informatics

   I think your chances are 100%. I am just finishing off a 5 months contract, but am starting permanent full time in Meditech on April 8th. I don't have the skills I would like from my first exposure to Meditech, but 'I have what I need.' I have taught...

2. Meditech 5.64

   oneLoneNurse replied to informaticsRN2B's topic in Informatics

   I am learning how to build, and found it somewhat difficult. I didn't get the knowledge in a nice one session sit down. I am doing PCM building, and it took me forever to actually get it. I know that Queries make up Question Sets which make up Docume...

3. Nursing Informatics Masters - should I take the plunge?

   oneLoneNurse replied to overtonis's topic in Informatics

   Thanks for the input, Chuck. I enrolled in the course, but with a new job, new country (home), and stressors I withdrew. Thing is they only charged me $100.00 for the withdraw and I can always enroll again. I'm fine with getting ICU experience either...

4. how to make it clear when call doctor

   oneLoneNurse replied to neurontin's topic in CCU

   I liked Esme12's response. I would have called. I would have taken the slack from the doc. If he/she wants to write me up, let them. As one previous poster said, 'you can't be sued for calling a doc, but you can for not calling a doc.' When in doubt...

5. WGU MSN in 6 months

   oneLoneNurse replied to bsnwnab's topic in Western Governors

   No, I can't. Back to topic, please. Thanks, Mary. I am planning on taking a critical care course first, but I like what you are sharing on WGU.

6. new graduate..

   oneLoneNurse replied to nightingalnurse2013's topic in Neuro

   I don't have the rich ICU/MS experience of others on here, but I would choose the Neuro ICU floor.

7. WGU MSN in 6 months

   oneLoneNurse replied to bsnwnab's topic in Western Governors

   I don' t think so, klone. I think what Mary is implying is that the capstone is a quantitative versus qualitative assignment. I think the capstone is requesting we do a literature search, then create an experimental design, run it, and then study th...

8. WGU MSN in 6 months

   oneLoneNurse replied to bsnwnab's topic in Western Governors

   Do we have to do a research project with human subjects in the MSN program?

9. Meditech 6.0

   oneLoneNurse posted a topic in Informatics

   Seeking a mental health facility that is using Meditech 6.0. Also seeking training materials for teaching Meditech 6.0. I have been asked to revamp our education. Thanks.

10. I want to find a long ICU internship, but...

    oneLoneNurse replied to SLH16's topic in Critical

    I agree $16,000 for that type of training doesn't sound like much.

11. WGU MSN in 6 months

    oneLoneNurse replied to bsnwnab's topic in Western Governors

    That is long, but doable. :) Ditto. Totally agree. Thanks

12. WGU MSN in 6 months

    oneLoneNurse replied to bsnwnab's topic in Western Governors

    How long does it have to be? I'm assuming we would have to do a lit review then some sort of experiment. I see capstones at other schools too. I like WGU. I like the location, and whether or not the faculty is made up of Mormons is something I don'...

13. WGU MSN in 6 months

    oneLoneNurse replied to bsnwnab's topic in Western Governors

    Thinking about WGU for an MSN this fall. I like the tuition rate. Anyone able to share Capstone project titles. Just wondering what is expected.

14. ICU RN let go after 3 months

    oneLoneNurse replied to rn_wee's topic in Critical

    Sorry to hear of everyone's experiences. Just supports my thoughts that 'nurses eat their young.' Unfortunate, but true.

    oneLoneNurse replied to Nikki0727's topic in NCLEX

    U must do it soon; I worked with a MHW who waited too long.
