  1. I have signed on for this implement of epic. I will specialize in BEACON for ONC. seems interesting to me! I cannot wait!
  2. Are any of you loyal?

    lol. yes indeed sometimes the unlisted benefits are the most important ones example i worked on a unit who had weekend staff so i didnt have to do them and also this unit let me switch shifts every so often if need be. i never felt stressed about ho...
  3. This "us" vs "them" mentality....

    OK. The unit I work on has some issue with this as well. There are a few things that cause problems. The biggest issue is that in some facilities the nursing student or student nurse interns or resident nurses are put on the floor at the same time....
  4. i understand this all too well. I am a charge nurse who is soon to change direction. When management is not around to answer questions, or not visably present to support the floor staff I am the next in line to help or listen. I am not able to do m...
  5. Are any of you loyal?

    I have read all the replies to this post and must agree. Most likely if this position does not meet your expectations you will only stay with it until your needs are met and you can find something better. I love my current specialty unit and would ...
  6. Sorry you feel this way. Nursing is very rewarding but also very stressful. There are many things you can do as a nurse not only hospital nursing. I am sorry you were treated that way. The nursing staff may have expirienced mantthings before you ...

  8. Ever since the economic nose dive spiral...

    I have to say yes! to all of these. I cant believe the changes. I mean from time to time staffing is an issue and always has been but this seems to be so much worse. Staff are fed the line a job is hard to find and there are students just waiting ...
  9. Unsafe Staffing

    wow! I would say do not even go back there if it is that bad. why put yourself and others at that kind risk? I do not see any way that this would end any worse if you simply call in before you put yourself out there.
  10. Preceptor Pay

    No we do not get more as a preceptor. I think we should!
  11. I understand this IF you know how to do something such as a task a CNA can do and do it well, but i get this from student nurses, intern nurses, new nurses in training and it gets old! Some of these people do not even know how to do or still are not...
  12. Anyone Certified As An Epic Analyst?

    I also have been given this opportunity to work with EPIC as an analyst however the pay is a decrease for me and I need to make a decision very very soon. They would also like me to certify in ONC specialty. I feel like this is a nice oppurtunity an...
  13. oh yes! we all make mistakes. Owning up to them is the part that not everyone does. It is difficult to admit it at times but many of them come related to being in a hurry trying to give the best care to many patients each day. I always try to reme...
  14. Giving meds crushed in applesauce

    unfortunately I believe the best way to give the meds is one at a time...that is if you have the time. I personally put a few in applesauce at a time, usually giving the ones that MUST be taken NOW like pain meds etc and giving vitamins last or late...
