Hi I haven’t been on this site in ages...... I currently work as an RN case manager in a remote position for a national health care company. Due to my husband’s job, we recently moved to the Buffalo area. My company was recently sold and I am interested in checking out the Buffalo hospital scene in terms of jobs for case managers. If anyone has any insights for me I would really appreciate it, would love to speak to an area nurse. I don't know a soul here! Send me a PM if you would prefer! Thanks so much!

I think some of the wonder wink scrubs have a badge loop, and maybe even one style of Koi!

These things are amazing and cheap, like $5 each. Single patient use, but can use during their entire stay. SallyTube Single Patient Use Slide Tubes | Recyclable & Disposable | Tollos

Never say the Q word Breath and remain calm Always take at last a small break to eat and hydrate, you'll feel better Help out your coworkers whenever you can Take time for yourself on your days off

Does your hospital have an anonymous ethics reporting line? This is definitely not ok. Google the Stark law. Physicians cannot make referrals to a facility in which they, or an immediate family member, have a financial interest.

I was just hired within my same hospital system for a Case Manager position. I have 4 years of med surg tele experience and a BSN, but no CM experience. I believe BSN was a requirement. I will wear scrubs (Yay!) with a lab coat, I will see patients in order to do discharge planning, work closely with doctors and social workers. I do have to work one weekend a month. This job is a salary position. Certification is not required, but I'm told some get it.

At large hospitals the OR team works 12's. Also try interventional radiology or cath lab at a big hospital

Well, I was offered the position today, at the same rate I make as a staff RN. This will be a salary position, though, 40 hours instead of my .9 FT. A little more vacation and no weekends or holidays. They would not negotiate on the salary. Does this sound normal?

Would love to hear some replies on this as well. I just had an interview within the same hospital system I'm currently employed in for CM position and am hoping for a bit of a pay raise.

"Go live" used for everything from new computer system to the rollout of a new bandaid

I'm 51 and contemplating a move from the floor to case management. I'm just worried about giving up the freedom and flexibility of 3 12's for the 5 - 8 hour days. But those long 12's are killing me! I had an interview this week, so we shall see!

Sally tubes are amazing. 1 patient use, very inexpensive, like $5 a piece. Works kind of like a trash bag under the draw sheet and let you move people without injuring yourself. We keep them in every room of the hospital. I hope my picture comes through!

Try bare minerals, I love it, it's super natural looking and just covers up the bad stuff. I use it every day for floor nursing. And like someone previously said, Sephora or Ulta can help you choose, and they carry everything all in one spot.

I like the Made Incredibly Easy series.

index this is actually an icu guide, but it has so much good information in it for any beginning nurse. Check it out. The peripheral IV chapter is fabulous, lots of pictures and information and is downloadable as a word document.

I would call and ask HR, we have no way of knowing. But usually it would mean 3 shifts a week.

I know the CIWA scale ranks anxiety on a zero to ten rating. Not sure if this helps you, but may give you a starting point.

mine does not.

Nurse Service Organization (NSO) is a great place to start.
