American Association of Neuroscience Nurses (AANN) The association of neuroscience nursing. This will help you in your quest. My favorite websites as a stroke coordinator are National Stroke.org, AHA/ASA (American Heart/American Stroke Association)...

Our stroke association is looking into this also. This is from the American Board of Neuroscience Nurses: [h=1]SCRN Test Dates and Deadlines[/h]The SCRN Examination will be offered in computer-based testing (CBT) format during two examination window...

I would like to relate that though I was sweating it I have found a nice job as a stroke coordinator. Though a masters degree was not a requirement it didn't hurt to be 60 with an MSN to secure a job I wanted. There is still nirsing after 60. .

Do you know of any case managers who are CNL's?

One thing I want to bring to the attention of nurses who are looking at taking jobs which pay less. Social Security is set up where your monthly social security benefit is based on the last five years of employment. What I am saying you may have m...

I just graduated from this program two weeks ago. To carry the title of Clinical Nurse Leader you must take the CNL certification exam which consists of 150 questions. I take mine this Friday. If you do not pass, you will still have a masters deg...

I worked for the same facility 3 different times. Always considered an asset until I quit this last time after having surgery which has giving me a weight lifting limit for life. I furthered my education to a MSN in hopes that I could secure a job ...

This is a concern for me also. I just finished my Masters Degree at 60 and am looking to transition into nursing as an educator or case management position. I have been called into interviews by my previous employer of 20 years, 4 different times a...

You'll do fine.

Time management is your best friend. All new nurses have to learn to become organized and to prioritize. Watch how your preceptor organizes her work. One week isn't much time for orientation. Our hospital's orientation is 8-12 weeks. Look to see...

I did not read the original thread, but I just want to reflect on my life's experiences as a nurse who has worked in the same hospital 25 years. I saw nurses who were in their forties and by the time 25 years passed, they were tired and frazzled an...

For the past several months I have had my name on lists for CNL positions. Not a day passes where I do not recieve at least 1 to 4 job notifications in the field. Granted the positions are hot on the east coast, Nevada and California, but Ohio and...

I did not mean to sound unappreciative of education, but I value my past experience in the field of nursing also. Many nurses will admit they graduated and didn't have a clue as to how to function as a nurse. I will admit for 20 years I did not un...

I totally agree with that statement. Recently I made a comment on one of our discussions in my MSN program that I appreciated any good nurse whether she be RN or LPN because experience was the key to performance and one of my professors made a snotty...

Perhaps what I should have added was this is regarding the process of writing a telephone order itself. That is why I should have written it: T.O./P.O.: Dr. J./Office Person/ Sally LPN/Jane RN. Also the orders I am referring to one was for a narc...

Having come from a little larger hospital(200 beds) I was told in staff meetings that by a Doctor office giving a telephone order to an LPN and then the LPN giiving that order to an RN, it was a violation of the nurse practice act. Example: Dr. J./...

Thank you. I spoke with one of my professors in my MSN program regarding this matter. She acted like it was no big deal and happened frequently. It looks to me that it is up to the facilities till they are busted or maybe its how good their attorn...

Same in Missouri

I found it totally impractical to make a Physical Therapist with a MBA as the director of orthopedics. All other directors in the facility are RNs. He may have a MBA and know business, but he knows nothing about nursing. Unlike the PT's nurses hav...

I am currently in the CNL program at a local university and after the 1st year I still do not know what the role entails. I do know that it has been expanded to include education. Also many hospitals use them in various positions such as resource nur...
