@Alicia777 Thank you so much or your response. I really appreciate it!

Hello everyone, I am an FNP student. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I am looking to see descriptions of specific situations at different points in your practice. 1. What was a challenge when you were fresh out of school and started as an APRN? 2. How did you feel your role as an APRN developed after 6 months? After 1 year? Your responses would be greatly appreciated

Thank you very much!

Unfortunately our CPOE orders are either "processed" or "not processed"...the not processed order require manual order entry into the computer, so chart checks are still required to make sure those orders have been put in.

I am new to the travel world, and I am working on trying to get an assignment through Aureus Medical. Has anyone had experience with this company? I am looking to going to North Carolina. Thanks :)

I am in the Pensacola area, been a nurse for 7 yrs. Do the internship...they do take the advice from the associates you will be working with, if you are a good fit, and have great potential in becoming a great ICU nurse. However, it is not a guarantee as said earlier. At our facility, we tend to look only for experienced nurses in critical care areas, BUT when associates recommend someone we do interview, and if we feel they are a good fit, we hire.

I am working my with CNO on this, it has been brought up to all MD's in the proper committees that CPOE is here to stay and has to be done. Many are compliant, but there are still some who do not use at all. there is no EMR per se where I work, only in the ED. The rest is all paper, then a program to put in orders that do not go through on CPOE, a VS program, and one that you can look up labs and consults (I know its crazy). So when upper management was complaining that the physicians were refusing to use CPOE I said "just take the paper away", but now we are trying to figure out how the nurses can do their chart checks, which are normally documented on a physician's ordersheet

I am in that boat as well...I am a clinical coordinator for ED & ICU, my job is to work M-F 8-5 however, I am on call 24/7 and I am the one who has to go in when someone gets called off, yes I do make more, however like you said again, it really doesn't equal out, because after you put in 50-60 hours in one week, you are really making less than you did while in staff...I am really starting to rethink this whole management part of nursing and getting back into patient care full-time

At my facility we implemented CPOE about 1 year ago. We have multiple systems that do and don't talk to one another, but we are still using paper charts. One of the hardest things is getting all of the physicians to use CPOE and not handwrite orders. I suggested that we take away the "paper" physician order sheets but then there was a question as to how the nurses were to do their chart checks without the physician order sheets. My suggestion was to make up some type of form that reviews everything that should be done in chart check, and have the nurse sign off that they did that each shift. Has anyone had this type of issue implementing CPOE, have any suggestions??? Thanks

I am a current student at WGU. I am in their RN - MSN Leadership and Management program. I know that they have a Pre-licensure program for those wanting to become an RN, but I am not sure how competitive it is or anything. My advice would be to call an admission specialist and they will go over everything you need to know about the program

Thank you so much!

I have been a clinical coordinator over 2 units for over a year now, RN for the past 8. I have worked, Med/Surg, PCU, ICU, ED. This position was to be scheduling for both units, chart reviews, scorecards, PI meetings, training of new associates, and being on-call and fill-in as needed. I have found that just in the past 4 months our turnover rates are going SKY HIGH. I am getting calls during the night for call-offs, going in and working after putting in my time that day already, I am really starting to feel burned out. I am also questioning "Is management really what I want in my nursing career?" My director has a full plate already, dealing with all the administrative parts of her job, like complaints, policies and procedures, staff issues, etc. I am the one that is on-call all of the time, she takes call maybe one weekend a month, but I am every day during the month with the exception of that one weekend. She does help in the units during the day and after I have put in way too many hours in a week, she will step in and do a night shift or two. But I don't know if this working all the time way more than my "exempt" status pays is worth it. I use to enjoy my job, but I have found that I have been contemplating is this really for me???? I still enjoy patient care, however, I feel that I am ready to get out of it. I am looking to possibly going into the Quality aspect of nursing. Any thoughts????

I have been a nurse for 8 years. For the past year I have been in a clinical coordinator position over 2 units. The job is very stressful with phone calls at night because of staffing, and going into work on nights after working all day in the office because of call-offs. I have been really contemplating if management of this type is really for me???? I attend PI meetings on a regular basis, and I am very interested in what the Quality Manager says, and the whys behind it. There is a position available for a quality coordinator, and I think that is what I want in the next phase of my nursing career. However, I have this deep guilt of leaving my manager knowing that staffing right now totally sucks, I fell like I am abandoning her. So, I guess I would like to know, how many people really enjoy the Quality portion of nursing? I am definitely ready to learn more.

I was a part of that 86% and for being a brand new program at that time, very significant. I am proud to have graduated from Beckfield College, I've been an RN for 6 years now
