  2. Time management?

    pipersjo posted a topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Hi everyone, I recently started as the Clinical Nurse Educator at a busy Family Medicine clinic. The same week I started, we started EHR. The LPN's/MA's are having a really hard time getting...

  3. Time management?

    pipersjo replied to pipersjo's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Thanks for the responses! They supposedly were ok prior to EHR, but I also think it was easier for things to be slipped under the rug if they couldn't get to it (I'm not saying that everyone did stuff...

    pipersjo posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    pipersjo replied to pipersjo's topic in Government, Military

  11. HELP!!! Theoretical framework....

    pipersjo replied to pipersjo's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thank you both so much! Unfortunately, I know all too well that most theories won't fit snuggly with my subject but it is part of the assignment and I was stuck! I had a theory class last semester...

    pipersjo replied to jagsterr's topic in General Nursing

  15. Just a few questions...

    pipersjo replied to pipersjo's topic in Travel

    Thank you! Sounds like I might be slightly screwed at this point since I only have done MS (we get a lot of MS stepdown) and tele. I am all for being open to anywhere I just don't want to be stuck...

  16. Please pray it will go fast

    pipersjo replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    I was right where you are last year. Long story short, got back with an ex, moved to his state, hated my job, he broke up with me, and I moved back. It was a really bad time in my life because of...

  17. Any suggestions for me?

    pipersjo replied to pipersjo's topic in Nursing Career

    I spoke with our new hire support coordinator again today and she is going to try and place me in a home hospice situation. I am excited and of course nervous, but can't wait. I have been sick since...

    So here is my story. I have been a nurse for almost a year--11 months to be exact. I left my first position because I moved out of state and now that i have a new position doing the same kind of...

  19. Any suggestions for me?

    pipersjo replied to pipersjo's topic in Nursing Career

    I actually followed some nurses through Hospice already. Throughout my BSN program, I chose Hospice as my clinicals whenever i could. I like the fact that you have more autonomy, but I was never...

  20. Any suggestions for me?

    pipersjo replied to pipersjo's topic in Nursing Career

  21. Any suggestions for me?

    pipersjo replied to pipersjo's topic in Nursing Career

    That's what everyone tells me and, to be honest, I am not exactly sure what it is that I hate. It could be the lawsuit threats (I was threatened with lawsuits twice in my first 6 months)or it could be...

  22. New RN- thinking of quitting and going to another hospital- but in orientation- HELP!

    pipersjo replied to kittle81's topic in Nursing Career

    I think you answered it yourself- you won't be happy there. Yes, it is frowned on to leave a job during orientation, but you don't need to be miserable. I am actually in a similar position right now...

  23. What is Telemetry nursing?

    pipersjo replied to ummwhome's topic in Cardiac

    In my experience, it is unusual NOT to be ACLS certified on a tele floor. I have been working tele(my first nursing job) for about a year and I am not certified, but that is because I just switched...

  25. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    pipersjo replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Really, there is nothing wrong with her calling the school and complain about the students-- if there is a reason. It's just nasty if there is no
