Correct me if I'm wrong, but the pathway to medical education seems to be more typical then the pathway to nursing education. Basic nursing education is very diverse as opposed to basic medical education. There are nearly 3.5 million licensed nurse...

I just checked and the movie is scheduled for Sunday March 10 and Saturday March 16 not yesterday as I reported.

Update. This film is supposed to be aired on CNN on Saturday, March 10, 2013 at 8 pm and 10 pm EST. It also will air again on March 16. I would highly recommend you watch it if at all possible.

I experience less burnout with disease management depending on how management has it structured.

How sad to see your posts. What type of case management do you do? Worker's comp, pediatric, hospital-based, insurance-based?

One of the basis for nursing case management is that you provided care as a nurse. I agree with previous posters who state that their careers in case management got off the ground only after direct patient care experience. How naive is it to go int...

I understand the OP's point. It is distasteful to discuss the personal matters of our patients. It is especially problematic when you're at work and you don't know who is listening and who is related to whom. Imagine you work on a floor and are wa...

It's unfortunate that the disabled and elderly get so little respect in my country of residence, the U.S. These people are at the most vulnerable of their life when receiving institutionalized care and need the most compassionate, caring, and skille...

Hi Everyone. I thought that some of you may want to know about the following: Through April 1, Health Information Technology Professional (HIT Pro) competency exams are available at no charge. Each of the six HIT Pro exams pertains to a specific ...

Imperial, I agree with MBARNBSN. I worked for a MCO or insurance company who trained me on their software when I worked in their CM department. This was before I got my first PC years ago. There was a pretty big learning curve, but once I got comfor...

I know this thread is dated but I will offer my two cents. What I'm seeing is strong endorsements by both the health informatics and nursing profession for graduate degrees. It's not clear to me that a graduate degree in health informatics or MSN i...

However, if it works for the patient, family, and staff who am I to look down on it.

Hmm... So I guess that those of us licensed as RNs will be paying higher malpractice rates in these scenarios? We'll need the additional coverage if we become responsible for supervising both LPNs and CMAs that perform various type of medication ad...

Don't allow your personality to get stuck in a rut. Grow in wisdom and compassion. Don't allow your personality to become warped and jaded by sour experiences. Have a personality that rebounds and overcomes with humility and understanding. Have a...

Once again, great discussion everyone! This may come off as... well I'll let you be the judge. It would seem that some of us are defining critical thinking in stages whereas the OP indicated that in their situation, it was about "you have it or you...

Brian thanks for the quote. The golden rule is alive and well for me. Application of the golden rule is necessary in order to be able to not only survive but thrive in the work place. Even when enemies rise, we need to stay that course to make us ...

Great points everybody! No, I do not see critical thinking in black and white. That's too oversimplified in my opinion. I do agree with those who say that the environment in which you were born and raised and the environment which you live in has g...

You know what? I'm actually grateful for being at an age that I can sit back and appreciate life and its many wisdoms. I can only wish that the wisdom that I have now, I could have had 20 years ago. But hey, life is a journey and growing in wisdom...

I thank the administrators and guides for stepping in to what is otherwise an interesting conversation. We should be mindful that our values differ and that this is also true in the work place which is why we cannot take our co-workers personally. ...

I did home health at one point and you have to make it clear each and every time you visit what your priorities are. When I admitted patients to home health, I informed them that the patient is still the family's responsibility 24/7. It is not the...

Yes queen waitressing is alot like nursing you serve others but you try to do it in such as way that you are not abused. As I indicated earlier, the problem with servitude is that it that it has negative connotations. Even many dictionaries such as...

I'm going to chime in with a different perspective. I do believe that nurses are servants. Physicians and other staff are servants as well. If you will go deep with me for a moment, especially believers, our purpose in this life is to serve a high...

Anna-s, I'm going to guess you are female - not because of your username but because from the start, your post indicates you are relationship-oriented. Most women fall into this category. You care about coming on the job and becoming a vital part o...

RN1023, I agree with previous posters. Many reputable brick and mortar schools have online programs in nursing informatics. I generally go with the more established public institutions which tend to be less costly than either religious or private for...

IMO, do what you think you will enjoy and what will positively impact others who are in need of what you have to offer. I've been a nurse for a very long time and it concerns me that young people are only concerned about the external factors which m...
