  1. Losing respect for nursing students

    RhodeIslandMSN replied to kjnsweets's topic in General Nursing

    A few years back, I had a nursing student take a chart out of my hands and very rudely said 'uh I'm a nursing student, BSN program, thanks'. I was appalled. I was working in CDI at the time and our...

  2. Coworker having access to my password and charting

    RhodeIslandMSN replied to CorinneRN's topic in General Nursing

    I also agree with the posters who recommended calling your insurance. I had to reach out to my carrier at one point and they were very helpful. Keep us posted and best of luck to you.

  3. Coworker having access to my password and charting

    RhodeIslandMSN replied to CorinneRN's topic in General Nursing

    Many facilities have an ethics hotline you can call. Something seems a bit off and since the CNO seems ok with it, she may change her tune when her superiors get wind of

  4. Has anyone had success leaving nursing for something unrelated?

    RhodeIslandMSN replied to cantdoit's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm glad you posted this question and look forward to the responses. I've been a nurse for 15+ years and just cannot do it any more. Most of my experience is non-clinical in nature. I plan on...

  5. Nurse to Librarian

    RhodeIslandMSN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello everyone. I'm curious to hear from those of you who have changed careers. What finally made you realize enough is enough? Did you ever regret your decision? I've been a nurse for 15 years...

  6. RN to MLIS

    RhodeIslandMSN replied to oneLoneNurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi - I realize I'm answering this post several years after it was posted. :) I'm starting an online MLIS program in January. I have my MSN (Nursing Administration) and after 16 years in healthcare,...

  7. Telephonic Case Managemen interview in 2 days!

    RhodeIslandMSN replied to KbmRN's topic in Case Management

    The titles were different there, but I served in both roles. Several people would weigh in on each applicant, but I certainly had enough power to veto somebody. I once did a phone interview with...

    RhodeIslandMSN replied to Unique87's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Congrats!

  9. Telephonic Case Managemen interview in 2 days!

    RhodeIslandMSN replied to KbmRN's topic in Case Management

    I worked as a telephonic case manager for several years (including mgt). The salaries are all over the board - depends on your location and available nurses in the area. I know this sounds silly, but...

  10. From librarian to nurse

    RhodeIslandMSN replied to Eric_M's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hi - I'm the opposite - nurse wanting to become a librarian. I would like to work as a librarian in a hospital, medical school, or something similar. I have my MSN (nursing administration) and...

  11. Any Clinical Documentation Specialist here?

    RhodeIslandMSN replied to kgard7777's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I'm not sure if there are online CDI programs, but check out the ACDIS and AHIMA websites. They will have resources on there to point you in the right direction. ACDIS has a preparation book for...

  12. Is there a Registered Dietitian program for RN's?

    RhodeIslandMSN replied to Tanguera's topic in Nursing Career

    Last year, I took a few online nutrition courses through Kansas State, and I highly recommend their program. To pursue the RD, nurses are required to take all of the nutrition courses and bio-chem,...

  13. New grad RNs: Do you hate nursing already?

    RhodeIslandMSN replied to OliveRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    I knew in nursing school that clinical nursing wasn't for me. I have been a nurse for 13 years now and only 2 of those years have been in a clinical setting. Clinical nursing isn't for everyone and...

  14. Medical Case Management Group (MCMG)

    RhodeIslandMSN replied to bknyrn's topic in Case Management

    I'm curious about this company as well. They contacted me last year about a position and I submitted my resume. I'm not sure how they got my info to begin with (headhunter maybe). Anyways, they...

  15. Please help me and tell me why bedside nurisng MUST be the 1st step

    RhodeIslandMSN replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    If you're interested in the position, apply for it and see what happens. There isn't one particular path to any nursing position. Most of my experience is in non-clinical positions and I can tell you...

    Hi - I have been in the CDS role for 7+ months and really enjoy the position. I agree with the previous posters about the job's requirements, expectations, and frustrations. For those interested in...

  17. DNP Category?

    RhodeIslandMSN replied to Smitty08's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm glad to see a thread about the DNP degree. I'm considering applying to a program - just not 100% certain it will help me. I would love to hear from those pursuing the degree and what prompted them...
