stephalina6 BSN, RN

Prior to nursing, I worked in software support. I've been a nurse for 5 years now... just under 2 years at the bedside, trained outpatient providers on an EHR system for about 1.5 years, 1 year in Pharmacovigilance, and now I'm in quality improvement...

I'm in the training department for a large clinic with over 300 providers. My job title is EHR Trainer and Development Specialist II. I just started this position last week, and was just handed the job description. They knew I was a RN and had sai...

Where did you go for the application??

I have chosen to excel in Nursing Informatics and you won't believe how many times I hear that I "used to be a nurse", or "Why did you hang up your nursing hat?", or "Why did you decide to leave nursing?". I'm to the point where I giggle at it now a...

Just be firm with her that it is facility policy that all meds be taken in front of you. If she does not want the narcotics at that time, you will take them back and then she can ask for them when ready. If she was upset that when she asked for them...

Same here with the BSN program...if all my transcripts get in on time.

I'm seeing these Health Assessment video's on YouTube for WGU C349/350 Health Assessment ... is this for the RN-BSN program?? Just trying to figure out if WGU is a good route for me but I already am questioning the program....this assessment test is ...

Quick background: I have my BS in Business, and made a career change into nursing. I spent 7+ years in the software industry and now an RN on a telemetry unit for 1yr3mo. After being at the bedside, I never thought I would actually miss the whole...

Thank you!

Whew! Thank you!!

I don't work in cath lab, also currently applying. I've done quit a bit of research and your background makes you a great candidate ... again, that's from my research I've done. I've bee on a telemetry unit for 1yr3mo and currently applying to a ca...

I, also, plan on leaving soon ... it's just hard to move on after 1.3 years of exp. My plan is managed care as a Case Manager at an insurance company. I've been applying but not getting any call backs yet. Congrats on the CM position!

I've been an RN for 1 year at a hospital in the telemetry unit. I've been thinking of HHC because I like the one on one with patients but we don't have much time for that in the hospital. But my biggest weakness is wound care. With wound vacs we have...

Any ideas if they are still hiring? And where exactly in St Pete ... I can recommend some hotels to you if you need it.

I was hoping some could recommend athletic type shoes. I'm trying to stay away from mesh athletic shoes because of the fluids that could end up on the shoes. I've tried Dansko clogs during nursing school and they are definitely not for me. Thanks f...

I'm an RN that is now working day shift from working 8 months on nights.... From my own personal experience, you may be better off working day shift. I was loosing so much sleep during the day in between shifts that I felt irritable like you mentione...

I'm in a hospital about an hour north of Trinity on a telemetry floor and started a base pay of $23/hr (new grad with a BS in Business Management - nursing is a 2nd career choice for me). Hopefully a new grad working in Tampa will be able to compare...

Hi! Just curious if you are a new grad nurse? I've been in bedside for about 4 months and I'm learning real fast that bedside nursing is just not for me. Would love to get into case management to help out patients that way but not sure how to go abo...

After tonight only 4 more night shifts, lol! Can you tell I'm excited? I'll be using these last night shifts to really work hard on my organization skills and time management!

I'm still a new nurse, been on my own for 3 months on a telemetry unit. I've been having a hard time dealing with the confused patients, also the lack of staff during the nights. I'm going to be talking to my nurse manager about the possibility of tr...

We have a great night crew on the telemetry unit and I love working the night shift. But I am having a real hard time dealing with the confused patients! The last 2 nights I worked I had 4 out of 5 patients that had dementia/sundowners/alzehimers a...

My manager allowed me to try out days for 2 weeks and just the thought of working days is making me feel more happier. I told her about my troubles with nights and she did say there's a lot more support during days. Plus she's been keeping a close ey...

What exactly is a dosis advisor??

I would much rather take care of a needy patient that's on the call light for pain meds non-stop or want something to drink/eat vs an older patient with sundowners/dementia....those patients I struggle with so much that I'm about to leave night shift...
