From SNF to Hospital Setting
Hello. I am wound care nurse for the past 5 years and have been in a Long Term Care/Subacute setting. I recently got hired as wound care nurse educator at a hsopital setting. I am having diffculty with the new fast paced environment that I am in now. One day the patient is in, the next day either they were transferred to another unit or have been discharged. I do a lot of chart audits and I am having trouble with how the nurses do their documentations. I ahve educated them proper documentation and risk for not doing so but doesn't seem to work. Thank you.

How rewarding is it to be a case management rn?
I am considering a case management position at an insurance company. I know it's a lot different from at the bedside, but can someone give me an idea how satisfying can this field be? The position I am eyeing on does not do field work, telephonic and web based only. I am also a new nurse, just started working a year ago. I don't know if this a right move for me. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Pitt County Memorial Hospital (now Vidant Medical Center)
I was at PCMH about three weeks ago for shadowing in MIU. I loved it there. It's huge facility. I asked people working there and all i heard was positive feedback. I will be moving to Greenville in a month. I am excited to start orientation there. Ratio is 1:4, and almost everything that you need is within your area (they call pod). Everyone's nice too.

New Nurse Relocating: From NJ to Greenville, NC
Actually, I am checking out this property in Ayden. Just a little concerned about flooding, and it seems like it has way too much space for me. Do you know how bad flooding is in Ayden?

New Nurse Relocating: From NJ to Greenville, NC
Thanks for the info. We are going to move to Greenville in July. I have read so much posts from people about NC, and not all of them are good news. I don't want to doubt the decision that I have made. Now we're trying to decide where to live. There are several suggestions that I got: Winterville, Ayden or some areas of Greenville. My husband would like to live in the country side. He wants his space. All I care about is the school where my boys are gonna go. It's going to be a big adjustment for them, so I want to make sure they will like it there. As I think about relocating, there's so much to do. I hope I have enough time to prepare.

New Nurse Relocating: From NJ to Greenville, NC
Hello! I graduated June 2010 and started working in NY in August. I work in a vent unit in Bronx, NY and now considering to move to Greenville, NC. I went to PCMH last week for shadowing and it was a wonderful experience. The facility is great, but the salary is not so great. But I have to say I am comparing it to my salary in NY. It's a huge cut, but like what most people have said, cost of living is lower than NY/NJ. Anyway, I need some information on best area to live in Greenville, NC. I have two boys going to high school and I was wondering what school is best for them. I need as much information that I can gather regarding relocation to NC. Any information that you can give will be really appreciated. Thank you! :)

Thoughts on PCMH (now Vidant Medical Center)
Hello! I really cannot give you any exact input on how Pitt County works. I am a new grad but from NJ. I went to PCMH last week to shadow a nurse. One thing I can tell you, I had a wonderful time shadowing. It seems like a good place to work. I spoke to several nurses there and all I heard were good things about the hospital. It is a huge hospital. But look on the brighter side, you have a lot options there. Each unit has a manager who would know you as a person, and not just as a number there. I will be starting employment there by summer. When I start, I would gladly give you reviews if you want. :)
