I don’t expect much (from administration) and I’m never disappointed

It doesn't appear to be accredited by either ACEN or CCNE. I would NOT go there.

Just remember the mistakes you make yesterday are helping you make the right decisions today that you will be proud of tomorrow

It's very sad to hear people say a BSN is useless - you are missing the point of the higher education. While it may not actually do anything towards your day to day work it will help you to think more broadly about various issues. The BSN will train to do research and to draw conclusions; to make improvements in patient care (I focus only one one example). If you are completely satisfied with your limited nursing education, then do nothing. So many other disciplines are advancing their education why not nursing?

Trust me. I'm a lawyer.

Actually, the stress started when the envelope arrived in the mail. My exam span over 2 days, 4 sections of questions.

It's all about patient experience.....

Our facility uses the "follow my click" method (and indeed it is mind numbing!) I too want to teach only the minimum - just enough for the nurse to be able to document in a reasonable amount of time (I've heard complaints of admissions taking up to 2 hours!). My mind has been rolling around with development of scenario based teaching - something that puts the documentation in context for the nurse.

Thanks for your feedback. I'm trying to get a feel for what is reasonable. Personally, I think it should be fairly basic so new nurses, especially graduate nurses can concentrate on putting everything together (what they learned in school and incorporating that into the "real world." I know the EMR will be an ongoing learning process. My concern is they should be confident in documentation and not sweat over "where do I document this and did I go that correctly."

I throw this question out to all those who are involved in teaching nurses electronic documentation at your facility: 1. What is a reasonable amount of time for a nurse new to a facility to learn how to use the electronic documentation system? 2. How much time does your facility allot for new hires to learn the system (how many hours or days is devoted to the education)? Thanks to all!!
