Hello, I've been a research nurse now for 6 months and the department that I'm in is lacking in a really good process. We use Epic however the department isn't utilizing epic to its fullest potential. I've been looking up and research but most information about epic and/or research process is shut down. What process do you use in clinical research? Do you use Epic and if so what do you use it for, documentation, reports, scheduling, treatment plans, etc. Currently I'm looking for detail information on reports/tasks/patient lists/ etc. Thanks in advance.

I know the feeling. The samething happened to me, and the last 3 days I got the run around. Poor school didn't see me coming at all. I called the state on them and I'm already to go again. Now if I can just make it to class on Monday with all my hair after taking my kids to school will be great. I'm so excited.... 36 hrs left!!

Did anyone else recieve an email regarding financial aid?! I had all this done and taken care of earlier in summer and NOW they say I'm on suspension. I have called every school and I'm being sent to voicemail. I guess they really want to see my pretty face so early in the morning. lol Also, For everyone going to Montgomery- are you signing up for the Nursing organization on Monday, and what is Professional causal wear?! lol I have dark wash jeans. :)

Well I bought the basic nursing kit and I must say: Im not impressed with the $100 worth of stuff. Also, I'm with all of you, I'm enjoying every min that I have with my beautiful children and getting some last min RR. Hope everyone is enjoying summer b/c its coming to and end so fast.

I'm excited as well, but its starting to turn into fear and anxiety. I pray that I'm really ready for this adventure. I read the chapters, but I don't think I learned what I'm suppose to, but we shall see soon enough.

1172- Well it was exactly what I expected. We went in the lab room, watched 2 videos, and the professor answered any questions that we had. I'm so glad that my first day is over, but we have homework that, to me, seems almost elementary. We shall see though. We have a quiz everyday, and have online work to finish before thursday. Also, Thursday we have to give each others a bath, with bathing suits on of course. We aren't watching hair or privates, but she said that way it would show us compassion for our pts. I will keep all of you updated on how it goes this next week.

I received n email from my professor at montogomery college, n im excited about starting 1172 this thursday!! Hope.everyone is enjoying their summer still.

Oh wow- I didn't see anything about supplies from the bookstore?! Im looking at the paper now and I don't see it anywhere. Is it a list of supplies or does it just say a bag of supplies?

I have read 16 chapters so far and I must say- I have no idea what I am suppose to actually be taking in. lol I guess it will all make perfect sense soon. Hope everyone is enjoying the summer with family and friends b/c soon enough we will all be drowning in nursing :)

I understand what your saying, but heres the email I recieved from the lady that helps with the transition: I"m just trying to help you save some classes for finanical aid purposes :) No, Chemistry is no longer required – Dr. Neill removed this from the program requirements. The requirements for the program are attached above in the Program Reqs attachment for all students entering the program of RN to BSN in the Woodlands

The lonestar program does not require a summer program unless you need some help after the first year! Thats only if you aren't doing so well.

Kalisefer: You should email the lady and double check!! Thats only required if your not on the RN_ BSN program. University of Houston-Victoria

Well if you do decide to do that, just make sure that the monday that you miss isn't a test day. I know u can find an awesome person to record lecture for monday and give you the notes. lol I can message you with alot of stuff that I learned from our trip to help you get the most from your trip :)

Kalisefer: That program at UHV does NOT require a Chemistry class. Just letting you know b/c I was about to take Chemistry but its not required

If I were you I would try to reschedule the vacation. You can only miss so many days of lab, lecture, and clinical. It depends on what your missing, but I would try to reschedule it if I were you. We went this past spring break and I needed a mini-vacation afterwards. Oct and Nov are going to be the craziest time in the entire program from what I heard. Hope this helps and good luck.
